Y CHAPTER FIVE FACILITY LAYOUT W henever an existing facility is renovated or a new facility designed‚ the chance exists to develop a layout that will improve process flow and minimize wasted space. When a new facility is designed‚ the facility layout should be integrated into the architectural design. Limitations on building lot size and shape‚ however‚ may heavily influence the layout configurations available. In other situations‚ a new layout is achieved simply by renovating an existing

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances
