i) The body needs an increased cardiac output during exercise because the increased consumption of oxygen and nutrients by muscle cells requires more blood supply. The functions of blood include delivering oxygen‚ removing CO2‚ removing heat and delivering nutrients and water. Therefore‚ blood flow is important in cellular respiration‚ which is the process where ATP is produced through the conversion of metabolites‚ also involving the consumption of oxygen and release of CO2 as a waste product.

Today it was another busy day. For the first 2 hours of the shift‚ we had walk ins. I saw altogether 7 patient independently. It is hard to believe that I have only 2 more week left to finish my practicum hours. I started as a naïve nurse practitioner student and now I find myself more confident in collecting history‚ doing physical exam‚ ordering diagnostic testing‚ differential diagnosis and creating plan. It has been wonderful learning opportunity for me with a great preceptor and working environment

1. The Structures of the Human Heart The human heart has four chambers: two ventricles‚ each of which is a muscular chamber that squeezes blood out of the heart and into the blood vessels‚ and two atria‚ each of which is a muscular chamber that drains and then squeezes blood into the ventricles. The two atria reside at the top of the heart; the two ventricles are at the bottom. And‚ the heart is divided into left and right halves‚ so there is a left atrium and left ventricle‚ as well as a right atrium

The focus of the investigation explored the fundamental properties of cardiac muscle on a cane toad’s (Bufo marinus) heart and the adaptive ability of the heart to produce a response when subject to different conditions of temperature‚ stretch on contractile force‚ substances of acetylcholine‚ adrenaline and atropine‚ and increased frequency of stimulus. Regarding Figure 1‚ the regular heartbeat and contraction force of the toad was identified to demonstrate the difference between atrial contractions
