Be able to relate routine variations in body structure and functioning to care received by individuals. Case Facts. A certain woman aged 65 years decided to take a trip to Harare the capital city of Zimbabwe. She stayed in Harare for two weeks then flew back to London. Afterwards‚ she reported of having fever whereby blood tests confirmed she had malaria infection. Her GP also noted she was Obese with high blood pressure besides Osteoarthritis.

Physiology of stomach:- For understanding approaches for gastro retention‚ it is essential to overview gastric physiology and gastric motility. The stomach is situated in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity immediately under the diaphragm. Human stomach has a resting volume of 25-50ml‚ which can distend upto1500ml following a meal. It is divided into 5 anatomical parts: a) Cardia:- First part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains cardiac spincter‚which is a thin ring of muscle

Physiology Assignment Physiology Assignment Short term responses One short term response when playing basketball is when your face starts to go red‚ this happens because the body gets too hot and it tries to cool the body down by bringing blood to the surface of the skin to let some heat out and the skin also produces sweat to let out heat‚ therefore the skin surface goes red. Another short term response to physical activity is that your breathing rate and heart rate increases‚ the reason

Inflammation- Inflammation is the bulging of skin‚ organs‚ or other body parts due to fluid buildup caused an injury. The fluid rushes to the injured area and that is what makes the puffiness. 2.

Physiology University of Phoenix SCI/230 7/5/2013 Instructor Nancie Harris There are currently 33 diverse species of dolphin that exist in lakes (freshwater) and oceans (saltwater) of the world. Each species of dolphin‚ whether marine or river‚ has an anatomy which allows them to thrive in certain conditions. The anatomy of the dolphin has been enhanced throughout the years in order for them to continue to adjust to their domain. This paper will break down the adaptions in the anatomy of one

isolated frog muscle could be made to contract when the sciatic nerve was irritated with a metal object‚ conducted the first muscle experiments between 1661 and 1665. Later‚ between 1737-1798 Luigi Galvani determined that frog muscle responded to electrical currents. The kymograph‚ which was invented in the late 1840’s lead to the revolution of experimental physiology because it enabled muscle contractions to be analyzed and recorded. The muscle cell or fiber is the basic unit of a muscle. The frog gastrocnemius

typically permits the membrane potential to reach the threshold potential at which it fires the next action potential (pacemaker potential). Thus‚ the pacemaker potential is what drives the self-generated rhythmic firing. This is known as cardiac muscle automaticity.[2] Pacemaker potentials are fired by sinoatrial node (SAN)‚ but also by the other foci. However‚ the last ones have firing frequencies slower than the SAN’s. When other foci attempt to fire at their intrinsic rate‚ they can’t because
