What is Normal? Lorber’s Believing is Seeing: Biology as Ideology In her article Believing is Seeing‚ Judith Lorber writes of the very fine line between gender and sex. She argues that neither sex nor gender is a pure category of classification. They are more so just a combination of the two of them in the social construction of gender statuses. Her article uses sports and technological competence to show how society transforms physiological differences into gendered social bodies. Lorber’s perspective

word “normal” really even has a meaning. My normal is different than someone else’s normal and the two different types of normal should not be compared. As I said before I do not think everyone in the world has a mental illness‚ but I do think nearly everyone does have a mental illness as some point in their life.

NORMAL LEVEL-TWO ULTRASOUND SCAN Ultrasound examination during should include a systematic evaluation of fetal anatomy. Apart from anencephaly‚ the fetal organs cannot be accurately measured before 17-18 weeks of gestation. After 30-35 weeks‚ evaluation becomes increasingly difficult. Hence level-two ultrasound scan is done at 18 to 20 weeks of gestation. CLASSIFICATION OF FETAL SONOGRAPHIC EXAMINATIONS 1. First-Trimester Ultrasound 2. Standard Second- or Third-Trimester Ultrasound

Effects of hyperventilation on CO2 and pH levels Alidrin Armandico Physiology Lab 142 Egle Ortega Aprill 25‚ 2014 Abstract The aim of this experiment was to analyze how pH and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood change during hyperventilation and how the renal system compensates for this condition. Hyperventilation decreases CO2‚ increases pH‚ and lowers H+ levels which then results to respiratory alkalosis. In the experiment‚ we used the PhysioEx 8.0 software to simulate hyperventilation

Anatomists deal with the structure (morphology) of the body parts. This includes the shapes‚ forms‚ and placement of body organs and appendages. Physiologists deal with the functions of body parts‚ what the body parts do‚ and how this is accomplished. 3. How does a biological structure’s form determine its

Blood plasma is the fluid part of blood that contains nutrients‚ glucose‚ proteins‚ minerals‚ enzymes‚ waste products‚ antibodies‚ clotting proteins and hormones. Its role is transporting the substances around the body. Plasma contains 90% water and only 10 the solutes. Erythrocytes (also called red blood cells) are biconcave disks‚ containing haemoglobin that transports oxygen. They transport the oxygen to cells all over the body. The surface area to volume ratio is very large on the erythrocytes

Fluids The amount of fluids in the body is extremely large. There are many different forms of fluid throughout the body‚ such as blood‚ urine‚ hormones‚ cerebral spinal fluid‚ water‚ albumin‚ and bile. The fluids that make up the body are required for homeostasis. There are many different functions of body fluids such as transporting nutrients‚ waste and gases‚ transforming food into energy and generate electrical activity to power body functions.

What is Normal Aging? The aging process happens during an individual’s lifespan. We are all involved in this process and none can escape it. When one is young‚ aging is associated with growth‚ maturation‚ and discovery. Many human abilities peak before age 30‚ while other abilities continue to grow through life. The great majority of those over age 65 today are healthy‚ happy and fully independent. In spite of this‚ some individuals begin to experience changes that are perceived as signs of deterioration
