direction then it could be fatal to the body. For example in the body the blood has a pH value of around 7.35 to 7.45‚ if the bloods pH value goes down to 6.9 then a person could die of a diabetic coma. If it goes up to 7.9 then a person could die of tetany or lock-jaw. Some examples of different pH values in the body are; Stomach acid: 0.7 to 1.9 arterial blood plasma: 7.35 to 7.45 secretions of the pancreas: 8.1 saliva: 5 to 8 The wide variation of saliva depends on the food you eat.

The focus of the investigation explored the fundamental properties of cardiac muscle on a cane toad’s (Bufo marinus) heart and the adaptive ability of the heart to produce a response when subject to different conditions of temperature‚ stretch on contractile force‚ substances of acetylcholine‚ adrenaline and atropine‚ and increased frequency of stimulus. Regarding Figure 1‚ the regular heartbeat and contraction force of the toad was identified to demonstrate the difference between atrial contractions

What is Biological Psychology? It is the study of the physiological‚ evolutionary‚ and developmental mechanisms of behavior and experience. It is synonymous with the terms biopsychology‚ physiological‚ and behavioral neuroscience. Much of biological psychology is devoted to studying brain functioning. Physiology is the study of body processes- the dynamic of tissue and organ system of the body. It is the study of the physiological basis of human and animal behavior. Areas of Biological

Effects of hGH are to promote protein synthesis‚ encourage use of fats for fuel‚ and elevate blood glucose by decreasing uptake and increasing glycogen breakdown 4. Regulation of hGH is hormonal 5. hGH is a protein 6. hGH is water soluble 7. hGH is protein kinase activation 8. Endocrine disorders - Hyper secretion causes Giantism in children and Acromegaly
