Texas State University is a public college that offers all the courses necessary to take in order to become a PT‚ such as; “Biology 1 and 2‚ Chemistry 1 and 2‚ Physics 1 and 2‚ all with lab‚ Anatomy‚ Physiology and three years of Math.” (School of Health Professionals). Although there’s no specific number of hours asked for‚ a Texas State PT program applicant must have experience from volunteering or working in any form of Physical Therapy. No doubt‚ the

abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneum‚ the kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries‚ and drain into the paired renal veins. Each kidney excretes urine into a ureter‚ itself a paired structure that empties into the urinary bladder. Renal physiology is the study of kidney function‚ while nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse‚ but individuals with kidney disease frequently display characteristic clinical features. Common clinical

Chondrichthyes were my motivation to get involved and stick with Marine Biology no matter the challenges. Growing up I found comfort in sharks. Due to media and lack of understanding sharks were viewed only as malevolent killing machines. I thought this false‚ constraining label was unjust and unwarranted. Just as sharks had a constraining label I was stereotyped to be at best average when it came to academics. I had a minor learning disability that made reading and writing a major obstacle. After

The result is an increase in the overall brain-to-body ratio which is larger than other mammals. Primates also have eyes that are arranged in a forward facing position to give them stereoscopic vision; thereby enhancing depth perception. The physiology of female primates has evolved to be able to support a longer gestational period than most other mammals their size. Humans have a gestational period of about 280 days which is comparable to chimps‚ orangutans and gorillas. The smaller primates

Introduction: What is breast cancer? Breast cancer will strike one in every eight American women. This makes it the most common cancer in woman. Approximately 200‚000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Of that number‚ 40‚000 will die from breast cancer each year. (Journal of Environmental Health 2003) Breast cancer is just one type of cancer. Cancerous cells are cells that grow without the normal system of controls placed upon them. Breast cancer develops from the

Anatomy of the Respiratory System Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose and nasal cavity form the main external opening for the respiratory system and are the first section of the body’s airway—the respiratory tract through which air moves. The nose is a structure of the face made of cartilage‚ bone‚ muscle‚ and skin that supports and protects the anterior portion of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function

Allows completion of atrial contraction before initiation of ventricular systole. 2. Even though cardiac muscle has an inherent ability to beat‚ the nodal system plays a critical role in heart physiology. What is that role? Ensures that depolarization proceeds in an orderly manner from atria to ventricles;
