metabolism the first thing you might think of is the number of calories your cells burn each day. Metabolism is actually the sum of all chemical reactions that take place in the body. Metabolic reactions that produce energy are dependent on the cardiovascular system‚ which send oxygen to all the cells in your body. Although metabolism is not primarily made of reactions that burn nutrients like carbohydrates‚ fats and protein‚ these are perhaps the most widely known of the metabolic reactions. (CITE)

* GROUP 2: Elrey Joseph Calitis Mae Anjneth Cuaton How Atrial Tachycardia happens? Electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers fire abnormally‚ which interferes with electrical signals coming from the sinoatrial (SA) node --- the heart’s natural pacemaker. A series of early beats in the atria speeds up the heart rate. The rapid heartbeat does not allow enough time for the heart to fill before it contracts so blood flow to the rest of the body is compromised. Video Presentation

Rotational Dynamics Abstract Rotational dynamics is the study of the many angular equivalents that exist for vector dynamics‚ and how they relate to one another. Rotational dynamics lets us view and consider a completely new set of physical applications including those that involve rotational motion. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the rotational concepts of vector dynamics‚ and study the relationship
