The forest lake aquathon consists of a 250 meter swim and a 2.5 kilometre run. A specific training program has been made to improve my weaknesses and work on cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This essay will also evaluate the personal training program that has been created and whether or not it will help improve my fitness. In last year’s aquathon I did not participate‚ but the average time that most students finished were around 20 minutes. There was also a fitness test where students swum

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 6 Cardiovascular Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: 1. Define each of the following terms: • autorhymicity- The heart is autorhythmic. This means it generates its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to

Blood Analysis: Computer Simulation Introduction Blood is a combination of plasma (watery liquid) and red and white blood cells as well as platelets. It is a specialized bodily fluid that supplies essential substances and nutrients‚ such as sugar‚ oxygen‚ and hormones to our cells. Blood analysis can determine how functions of the body are working and if they are working properly. The purpose of this lab is to understand how various ailments‚ locations‚ and blood types can affect blood analysis

Describe the physiology of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy. A.T.P is stored‚ chemical energy in the cell‚ without A.T.P we would die. To make A.T.P we need glucose oxygen. Carbon dioxide and heat are the waste products. The main function of the cardiovascular system in relation to energy is to transport the oxygen and glucose to the cells‚ and to transport the waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea (waste product from protein digestion) away from the cells and to the lungs

When the stimulus is delivered‚ the ermeability of the membrane at that point is changed; and c ‚ initiating the depolarization of the membrane. Almost as soon as the depolarization wave has begun‚ a repolarization wave follows it across the membrane. This occurs as b . Repolarization restores the h of the resting cell membrane

Computer Simulation: Gambling is known to be a vice of many men. An activity that requires one to bet their cold hard cash that they earned through their jobs and to bet it all on a luck and the slim chance that they would somehow beat the odds and receive what they had betted and much more. Gambling has been proven to stimulate the brains reward system that similar to how drugs and alcohol stimulate the brains reward system. But dabbling in such activities‚ such as gambling with cards and dice‚

COMPUTER- AIDED DECISIONS “COMPUTER SIMULATION OF HUMAN THOUGHT” What is Computer Simulation? A computer simulation or a computer model is a computer program that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system. Computer simulations have become a useful part of mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics‚ chemistry and biology‚ human systems in economics‚ psychology‚ and social science and in the process of engineering new technology‚ to gain insight into

Advantages: >Computer simulation can allow you to see how a system might respond before you design or modify it. This avoids mistakes and one can try different ideas before the real product is produced‚ making it cheaper as there is no need to make different prototypes every time and testing them out. Example: It is safer and cheaper to use a model and simulation for some real world objects such as nuclear power plants. >It is an advantage to find this out in a model rather than testing the real

Chemical and Environmental Effects on the Heart Introduction The heart is the centerpiece of the circulatory system‚ its muscular contractions allow for the timely delivery of essential gases and nutrients to virtually all cells of the body. The pressure created by the heart also plays a vital role in eliminating wastes through organs such as the kidney‚ thus the heart delivers and helps maintain nutrient and waste composition throughout the body. The heart‚ like all muscle cells‚ releases ionic
