person would be quite tired/exhausted‚ but with the correct fitness exercises to work on cardiovascular endurance it would get easier and easier to run such an event. The reason your cardio performance can be improved is because the heart is a muscle‚ and like all other muscles in the body if you keep working it it will adapt to the workload given. This allows us to have direct control of how healthy one of the most important systems in our body is. Your body will also adapt to running the aquathon

Predict Question: Predict Question 1: How will the conduction velocity in the B fiber compare with that in the A Fiber? Your answer : b. The conduction velocity in the B fiber will be slower because the B fiber has a smaller diameter and less myelination. Predict Question 2: How will the conduction velocity in the C fiber compare with that in the B Fiber? Your answer : d. The conduction velocity will be the same in both fibers. Stop & Think Questions: 3. Note the difference in time between

area of LOW to High solute concentration. 3. Because water moves toward the HIGH concentration of solutes. 4. We know the pressure will increase in the albumin beaker because it is more impermeable than glucose. The pressure in the beaker containing the albumin increased despite the increased concentration of glucose because albumin has a much greater molecular weight. Activity 4 1. Increasing the size of an opening allows more space for movement. For example‚ the more you open the nozzle

Activity FOUR There is a direct relationship between the MWCO and the filtration rate; the higher the MWCO‚ the higher the filtration rate. Powdered charcoal is the solute that did not appear in the filtrate when using any MWCO membranes. As pressure increases‚ the filtration rate also increases‚ as long as the MWCO does not decrease. Since we have no control over the MWCO of a living membrane‚ we can increase the rate of filtration by increasing the pressure. The molecular weight

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

Endocrine Case Histories - Case 28 A 21-year-old noncompliant male with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. His blood glucose was high‚ as well as his urine glucose‚ urine ketones‚ and serum ketones. His serum bicarbonate was <12 mEq/L. His respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. His blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid (120). ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form 1. Define noncompliant

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action
