Metabolic rate refers to the “amount of oxygen consumed by the body cells” (Farlex‚ n.d.). it can be affected by numerous factors‚ some of which being the mass of the animal‚ its physical activity and temperature. Invertebrates are able to live in highly variable conditions due to their metabolism having evolved over time. Homeotherms are animals that are able to maintain a specific body temperature without relying on the temperature from its surroundings. Poikilotherms on the other hand do the exact

Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the blood. It happens because of a chemical imbalance in your cells. Metabolic acidosis can happen at any age‚ and there are many different causes. It may be a symptom of a sudden‚ short-lived (acute) condition‚ or a lifelong (chronic) condition.

Metabolic Syndrome: A Precursor of Heart Disease In 1988‚ Dr. Gerald Reaven was awarded the Banting Medal for Scientific Research by the American Diabetes Association and introduced the term Syndrome X to the medical community. According to Dr. Reaven‚ “Syndrome X is a simple way to refer to a cluster of changes that encourage the onset and development of heart disease.” (Reaven‚ 2000‚ pg. 40) The medical terms Syndrome X‚ Insulin Resistance (IR)‚ or Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) have been used interchangeably

Unlike Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Body Mass Index (BMI) is determined by an individual’s height and body weight. It is widely used to determine whether the individual belongs to a healthy weight group. In simpler terms body mass index is the value that represents the weight status of human body in relation of the amount of fat present in it. Similar to Basal Metabolic Rate now it is also possible to easily calculate body mass index using BMI calculator for men and women. Similar to BMR calculator

effects of TSH and thyoxine on metabolic rate are investigated. Hypothesis: With the information given‚ we tested the effects of given hormones on the body by using virtual rats. We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with

“Race” James Baldwin once said‚ “I am what time‚ circumstance‚ history‚ have made of me‚ certainly‚ but I am also so much more than that. So are we all.” When the subject of race comes up‚ I feel like that quote is very meaningful. According to class lecture‚ race is an arbitrary social classification of clearly bounded categories based on skin color which corresponds to no biological reality. To be able to understand race today‚ a person should have a background on the history of race. According

Race is a biological entity‚ but it has been proven that the concept of race can be constructed or manipulated by societies that even though since an anthropological and biological perspective the barrier between races is very clear. Ethnicity isn’t a societal concept founded by the color of skin‚ since everyone knows individuals of the identical race have variations of skin color. For example in European circles‚ Middle Easterners such as Arabs‚ Jews‚ Iranians (Indo-Europeans or Aryans); North

Race Homework After taking the quiz‚ it gives me a deeper impression of what race really is‚ and provide me a clear‚ new‚ and accurate understanding about how we are different. From the previous study I knew that human DNA can be traced back to Africa population‚ we have the same ancestry. But I have never further my thought to think about why there are differences among us. The differences and variation of us such as skin color‚ height‚ and susceptibility to disease is because changes in genes
