part is usually located in the dermis. The duct allows sweat to move from the base towards the surface of the skin. The duct has a pore on the skin surface. There are three major functions of the sweat glands which are thermoregulation‚ excretion‚ and protection. In the thermoregulation‚ sweat cools the surface of the skin and reduces body temperature. During excretion the glands will provide a significant excretory route for both water and electrolyte. In protection‚ the glands help in preserving the

However I will be looking at the functions of the cardiovascular system in more depth. These include looking at; the delivery of oxygen and nutrients‚ the removal of waste products‚ thermoregulation‚ vasodilation‚ vasoconstriction. And the function of blood‚ which includes looking at oxygen transport‚ clotting and fighting infection. Delivery of oxygen and nutrients- One key function of the cardiovascular system is to supply oxygen and nutrients

prediction was that P. scaber would have faster rates of movement in hotter temperatures. We expected this response as P. scaber is an ectotherm. Hence‚ its body temperature is directly determined by the temperature of its environment (Mellanby 1939). Løkke and van Gestel (1998) stated that the rate of the metabolism is controlled by the environmental temperature for ectotherms. As seen by Wieser‚ cited in Wang and Schreiber (1999)‚ P. scaber’s metabolism increased with higher temperatures. An increased

TPO1 范文： The lecturer claims that the new policy‚ which allows people to work four days a week instead of five‚ will have negative effects for companies as well as society. This claim is not in agreement with that of the reading passage‚ which suggests that such a policy will be beneficial. According to the lecture‚ a company that allows employees to have fewer working hours is likely to hire more people to ensure that it meets normal levels of productivity. If this occurs‚ expenses

Our skin helps to control body temperature known as thermoregulation. The thermoregulation as one of the process in homeostasis that both of skin and hypothalamus receptor are involved. The hypothalamus will send a signals in skin which of the Krause (hot) or Ruffini (cold) are appropriately activated ‚ and sweat glands

Diagnosis Dx: Ineffective thermoregulation related to immature temperature control and decreased subcutaneous body fat. Plan/Goal Plan: to monitor newborn closely to maintain temperature and prevent hyperthermia and cold stress Goals: Long-term: Newborn will be able to sustain adequate/normal self thermoregulation. Short-term: Provide assistance and support to 2. Mother will verbalize possible methods of heat loss & demonstrate
