Dietary fiber is several plant materials that the body is unable to digest. Fiber is important for the digestive system and lowering cholesterol. Fiber is divided into two categories: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber can dissolve in water which forms a gel-like substance. Soluble fiber has been connected with increased diet quality and a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some foods that are high in soluble fiber include: oatmeal‚ legumes‚ strawberries‚ apples and barley. Insoluble

Fiber Optics History of Fiber Optics History Of Fiber Optics In 1870‚ John Tyndall‚ using a jet of water that flowed from one container to another and a beam of light‚ demonstrated that light used internal reflection to follow a specific path. • Alexander Graham Bell patented an optical telephone system‚ which he called the Photophone • He dreamed of sending signals through the air‚ but the atmosphere didn’t transmit light as reliably as wires carried electricity. • During the 1920s‚ John

The function of fiber in the body is to help with gastrointestinal health and cholesterol-lowering benefits. Fiber is also an important role in seven other essential nutrients that the body needs to have. Some food sources of dietary fiber are wheat‚ rye‚ oats‚ beans‚ peas are some of the main foods that provide good fiber that can benefit people. Fruits and vegetables are better sources of fiber‚ but people would have to eat more of these foods in order to equal the fiber contributions of beans

Fiber optics is a cable that is quickly replacing out-dated copper wires. Fiber optics is based on a concept known as total internal reflection. It can transmit video‚ sound‚ or data in either analog or digital form . Compared to copper wires it can transmit thousands of times more data (slide 2) . Some of its general uses are telecommunications‚ computing‚ and medicine. <br> <br>The very first "fiber" was made in 1870 by the British physicist John Tyndal. In this experiment that he showed to the

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

Which diagnostic studies are most useful for assessing skeletal trauma? Initially‚ x-ray imaging is one of most useful diagnostic imaging to assess skeletal trauma. Based on the impression from the x-ray report‚ an MRI or a non-contrast CT scan may also be useful to assess trauma (Hockenberry‚ & Wilson‚ 2014). III. What are the goals of fracture management

Fiber Optics Assignment Many modern medical materials and equipment work on a principle which is beyond the capacity of human transducers. Comment and discuss the working principles of an endoscope‚ uteroscope or a rectoscope showing the illuminating path‚ the image path‚ transmission path and the liquid transfer or operating instrument ducts‚ showing the position of suitable valves. This will therefore explain how light travels through an optical fibre and show how such

Question 1 Skeletal System The skeletal system is a strong yet light‚ flexible living framework that supports the body‚ protects delicate internal organs and makes movement possible. In addition‚ our bones store minerals while red bone marrow produces blood cells. Support The skeleton provides a frame that shapes the body and holds it up. Within the skeleton different characteristics of support can be identified. As the body’s main axis‚ the backbone provides support to the trunk with its upper

Muscle In this experiment‚ you will explore how muscles work. You will also examine some of the properties of muscle fatigue. In this experiment‚ you will electrically stimulate the nerves in the forearm to demonstrate recruitment‚ summation‚ and tetanus. Written by staff of ADInstruments. Background The skeleton provides support and articulation for the body. Bones act as support structures and joints function as pivot points. Skeletal‚ or striated‚ muscles are connected to the bones
