Heart Rate Report The Circulatory system is an organ system that transports things around the body that are needed by cells. For example: Nutrients‚ such as: Oxygen‚ Food and Water. When Blood circulates around the body‚ it leaves the left ventricle of the Heart and travels to the Aorta (The largest artery in the Human body). The blood that leaves the Aorta is rich of oxygen then travels around the body in arteries‚ and to the organs. When the deoxygenated blood travels back to the lungs through

Urinary tract infections are the most common hospital-acquired infections and have made the list for nonpayment by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (Chen et al.‚ 2013). According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)‚ the prevalence of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) is greater in high acuity patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU). CAUTIs can lead to increased length of stays‚ mortality rates and ultimately‚ higher hospital costs. Approximately 560

Biology Summer Task Our digestive systems contain glands. These glands produce enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts. Catalysts make chemical reactions happen quicker and easier. Digestive enzymes help us to break down food easier. Our bodies make lots of different digestive enzymes. Each enzyme breaks down a particular food. When an enzyme has broken down one food molecule‚ it can then break down another molecule of the same kind. It can do this over and over again. It makes the reaction happen without

Nicole Perry 7.06 Immune System Lab Report Thoroughly washing your hands can be one of the best ways to prevent the spread of pathogens that cause illnesses. Our bodies have several lines of defense to fight infections. It is very important to do what we can do to avoid the pathogens from entering our system in the first place. Our hands pick up microscopic pathogens from objects that were touched by people who may not have washed their hands very well. When we forget to wash our hands or don’t

1) THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM 3.1 INTRODUCTION OF MUSCULAR SYSTEM. Muscles tissue do is done by the coordinated contraction and release of millions of sarcomeres‚ tiny structures within the muscles cells. Muscle activity accounts for the most of the body’s energy consumption. All muscles tissues is strong. Most is enduring‚ some of it astoundingly so. Its cells are crowded with mitochondria‚ thousands of little factories constantly turning out molecules of ATP‚ a refined fuel. There are three types of

Background The stress response in the body triggered by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) contains two different chemicals – neurotransmitters and hormones. Neurotransmitters‚ specifically norepinephrine (NE)‚ are released into the postganglionic synapses of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) during flight or fight response. NE carries out its effects on a target cell by binding to and activating adrenergic receptors. NE is usually eliminated through the reuptake into presynaptic cells and enzymes
