different salts and taking notes of what we observed. The different salts included Potassium chloride‚ Calcium chloride‚ Strontium chloride‚ Lithium chloride‚ Copper II chloride‚ Sodium Chloride‚ and Barium Chloride. Burning a pinch of each salt separately by holding a nichrome wire over a Bunsen burner‚ we found that each salt emitted a different color of light. For example‚ Potassium Chloride burnt a bright pink flame when burned‚ while Calcium burnt orange. No color was truly identical. What was the

Introduction: High blood pressure or hypertension meaning high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. Normal Blood Pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is consider pre-hypertension‚ and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood forward into the arteries

Identify the four basic types of tissues and the functions of each tissue type. There are four different types of tissue. They are; nerve‚ epithelial‚ connective‚ and muscle. The nerve tissue is made up of neurons that receive and transmit electrical impulses‚ this is their function. There are several different types of epithelial tissue. First there is simple squamous epithelium tissue. This is a single layer of cells that is in the lining of blood vessels‚ the lining of the pulmonary alveoli

connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues in the body. Unlike epithelial which has cells that are closely packed together‚ connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibrous proteins and glycoproteins attached to a basement membrane. Loose Connective Tissue In vertebrates‚ the most common type of connective tissue is loose connective tissue. It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying

respiration : means exchange of gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) between a living organism and its environment; Breathing. • ventilation: movement of air in and out of the lungs • alveoli: small air sacs or cavities in the lung that give the tissue a honey comb appearance and expand its surface area for the exchange of oxygen. • diaphragm: a dome-shaped muscle that divides the thoracic and abdominal cavities— contracts‚ making the thoracic cavity larger. • inspiration : Reduces the
