Uses of echocardiography Echocardiography (echo) can be used to evaluate your cardiac performance‚ the function of your heart valves‚ the thickness and motion of your heart walls‚ and the size of your heart chambers. An echo can help diagnose many heart conditions. Cardiac performance An echocardiogram can show how well your heart pumps blood (cardiac performance). To evaluate your cardiac performance‚ your doctor will mainly be interested in: • Your left ventricle‚ which pumps oxygen-rich

(Franciszek Piper)as you got closer to the gas chambers‚ the road had more barbed wire‚ but it was covered in brush and small trees so nobody could see the gas chambers. (Franciszek Piper)The first gas chamber was named the “Red House.”(Franciszek Piper) It was an old cottage that they bricked up the windows‚ covered the inside with

Since DNA particles are negatively charged‚ the gel is placed in a chamber with positively and negatively charge cords on each side of the chamber in order to separate different DNA fragments. The distance that DNA fragment travels depend on its size and polarity. The farthest that the band of DNA travels to the positive side‚ the smaller the DNA fragments

A Study of Cellular Respiration & Gas Production in Peas We conducted this lab in order to determine the relationship between gas production and the cellular respiration rate between germinating peas and dormant peas. Cellular respiration is the procedure of changing the chemical energy of organic molecules into a form of energy that can be used by cells called ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Cellular respiration is conducted in 3 processes: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Oxidative

rodents are repeatedly injected with a drug‚ in this case cocaine‚ in a unique chamber. The rodent is then placed in a room connecting the drug-associated chamber to a neutral chamber. Drug addiction is indexed by shorter latency to enter the drug- associated chamber‚ or lengthened time spent inside of it. In order to ensure that these effects are not specific to the chamber as opposed to the drug itself‚ the chamber assigned to be the drug-associated one is alternated over many trials (Itzhak &

The secretion of aqueous humor generates the intraocular pressure required for an optically efficient globe. The flow of aqueous provides nutrition for the avascular ocular tissues that it bathes‚ the posterior surface of the cornea‚ trabecular meshwork‚ crystalline lens and anterior vitreous.The volume of the aqueous in the anterior chamber turns over approximately once every 100
