Autonomics and Stress
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system, which is the division of the central nervous system that is not consciously controlled but regulates bodily functions, is
influenced by stress. Stress can be defined as a stimulus that interrupts homeostasis within the body, either physiologically or psychologically. The
influence that it has is innovation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) division of the ANS, and can include changes to skin conductance, heart
rate, blood pressure, skin temperature and respiratory rate1. Under SNS activation, caused by stress, heart rate, skin temperature, respiratory rate,
blood pressure and skin conductance will all increase1,2. This experiment aimed to choose a stressor that would influence autonomic measures and
record the response. The choice of stressor used in this experiment was invasion of an individual's personal space, measured via skin conductance and
heart rate. There is known to be a linear relationship between discomfort or tension and the invasion of personal space3 and this experiment aimed to
test this response via autonomic parameters. For example the skin conductance measure would indicate sweat; if conductance increases there is less
skin resistance due to the increase in sweat from SNS innovation, caused by the stressor1. The cardiovascular responses observed could be due to an
inhibition of parasympathetic activity, activation of SNS or a mixture of both2,3. The null hypothesis for this experiment

Alcohol Syncope
Abstract Alcohol consumption may be linked to syncopal events. The mechanism by which alcohol may induce syncope is not well understood.
Impairment of the response to orthostatic stress may be involved. A growing body of medical evidence suggests that short–term alcohol consumption
elicits hypotension during orthostatic stress because of impairment of vasoconstriction. These findings have implications for understanding of
hemodynamic effects of alcohol and, in particular, for understanding syncopal events that occur in association with alcohol intake. A 27–year–old
African American female with a previous syncopal event following alcohol consumption was brought to the Emergency Department by ambulance

It results in dizziness or syncope from transient diminished cerebral perfusion.
Case Report A 27–year–old, well–appearing African American female was brought to the Emergency Department by Emergency Medical Services
after a witnessed syncopal episode. The only medical history is a previous alcohol–induced syncope 2 years ago. The patient does not have any past
surgical history. The patient only drinks socially. She does not smoke, and she denied any drug use. The patient lives with mother, and works as a
nursing assistant in a nursing home. The patient admitted to drinking "a shot of vodka" approximately 10 minutes prior to syncopal episode. The
patient fell upon standing and hit the back of her head on the floor. Patient's significant other who witnessed the syncopal event reported that loss of
consciousness (LOC) lasted about 2 minutes. EMS was consequently called. According to EMS, the patient was still on the floor, alert and oriented
only to self upon their arrival. She was lethargic. The patient did not remember passing out. She was subsequently transported to the Emergency
department. Patient did improve remarkably on the way to the hospital. Upon arrival to the Emergency Department, patient was alert and

Autonomic Nervous System
The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS), function in a complementary and
integrated manner to maintain homeostasis. The output of the autonomic nervous system is quick in comparison to the endocrine system functions. In
most cases, these systems have opposite effects, where one initiates a physiological response and the other inhibits. The nerves of this system regulate
vital internal functions which are generally performed without conscious control (Khan Academy, 2014).
The output of the ANS effects smooth, cardiac muscle and glandular tissue (Betts et al, 2013)
The sympathetic division is associated with the "fight or flight" response, dominating in stressful situations ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The synapse at the axon terminal of the postganglionic neuron and the target effector cell (in the form of muscle or gland) uses epinephrine
/norepinephrine (adrenaline/noradrenaline) (AK Lectures, 2014)
The parasympathetic division however, is concerned with "rest and digest" responses and when active, reverses the effects of the SNS. The PNS
system increases blood flow to digestive organs and excretory system and decreases the blood flow to skeletal tissue (an opposite effect to the SNS)
(AK Lectures, 2014) Salivary secretion is increased and gastric motility is stimulated to facilitate digestion (McCorry, 2007). The PNS either originates
at the start of the spinal cord or at the end (Khan Academy, 2014). The preganglionic neuron is of long structure and uses acetylcholine to transmit
signals to the shorter postganglionic neuron. The postganglionic neuron continues to use acetylcholine to transmit to the target effector cell (AK

Contemporary Attachment Theory: Epigenetics, Right Brain, and Regulation
An interdisciplinary move toward consilience, along with advances in developmental, neurobiological, and epigenetic research, has expanded Bowlby's
fundamental ideas into increasingly complex, refinements of contemporary attachment theory, that include findings from epigenetics, and brain,
especially right brain, development while illuminating auto regulatory functions.
Epigenetics. Contemporary attachment theorists now view the organization of brain systems as an outcome of the interaction between environmental
influence and genetically coded programs for the formation of structures and connections among structures (Fox & Calkins, 2003). That is to say that
the environment literally effects structural, and thus functional, growth by inducing the expression of genes responsible for the unfolding of those
structures and their collective interconnections. As Schore (1997) so eloquently explains:
The onset and offset of sensitive periods, "unique windows of organism–environmentinteraction," are now attributed to the activation and expression of
families of programed genes which synchronously turn on and off during infancy, thereby controlling the transient enhanced expression of enzymes of
biosynthetic pathways which allow for growth in particular brain regions. In light of the established principles that early postnatal development

The film of Hector and the Search for Happiness has a captivating plot which makes us want to watch it until the end. Since in his research Hector
goes to three places and each place has their own moral value, this film is suitable for your soul. One of the places that Hector visits is China. In the
movie, China is described as a wonderful country, which has unique culture. The second place is Africa, with glorious savannah and wild animals. Next,
in Los Angeles, Hector obtains some happiness meanings and feels what happiness is. There are many good films. However, Hector and the Search
for Happiness stands out from other movies for its inspirational plotline and enthralling moral value. Even though, this film has many positive sides,
there is a blatant weakness of this film. There are some adulterated scenes involving Hector and Ying Li. Hence, it is not proper for children. Another
weakness of this film is its violent scenes. Hector, at the beginning of this film, is not very capable in handling his emotion. Therefore, he lashes out

Additionally, the emotional state of an individual plays an important role on the magnitude of the startle response. They suggest that those with GAD
be given treatments involved in helping focus their attention outward. This could help those individuals have less anxiety, decreased negative
emotional states, a decreased startle response, and less worry. This article is relevant to my research because it discusses an example of how the ANS
dysfunction affects some individuals, specifically those with GAD. It discusses a simple, yet possible, solution that disorders like this can be treated by
focusing on real world events compared to internal emotions.

Bruno Is Not Dead

Bruno is not dead. His voice still rings in my head, his scent of cacao and dirt still linger in my nose. I wish I could touch him and wrap my arms

him following me. I can feel his cold stare lurking behind me, I can feel the guilt he put upon me.
Whenever you lose something, a necklace, your keys or whatever. Everyone tells you to look in the last place you saw it. You search everywhere,
but without luck it is nowhere. The last place I was able to talk to Bruno was in my office, where I now spend the last of my crippling days.

Swallowing the giant lump in my throat, I invited him into the house. When we did arrive Bruno went inside of the house and grabbed a blanket he
placed it on the ground in the garden and he sat down, he patted the spot next to his inviting me to sit down.
We lied down there for hours until it grew dark, Bruno refused to speak the whole time we were there he would point out clouds and constellations

Intestine is the key to one's beauty and health as well as ageing.
The intestine is not just an organ that handles digestion, nutrient absorption and excretion.
Intestine problems are often associated with constipation.
Constipation can cause stomach to bulge and many people are concerned about it. However, this is just one example caused by the deteriorating
intestinal environment.
Other than digestion, nutrient absorption and excretion, the intestine has other functions which are less known. Such functions are closely related to the

Euglena is used in many ways these days. What is euglena?
It is a micro–algae with both plant and animal characteristics.
Euglena is a type of micro–algae, about 0.05mm long, that thrives in freshwater. It has existed since 500 million years ago.
It is a rare living organism where it can carry out photosynthesis like a plant. At the same time, it has the ability to move on it's own like an animal.
Euglena is loaded with a rich variety of nutrients.
Nutrients from both plant and animal sources can be found in euglena. In addition, since euglena does not have a hard cellulose cell wall, its nutrients
are easily digested and absorbed by the human body.
DHA, EPA amino acids found in animal sources.
Vitamins, minerals found in plant sources.

Pathology Of The Autonomic Nervous System
Introduction
In this report, the symptoms of this patient will be diagnosed, and the causes of them discussed with reference to the physiology and pharmacology of
the autonomic nervous system.
The Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of the motor division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that controls involuntary processes in the
body (Wieczorek, 2014). Such functions include control of heart rate, gland activity, smooth muscle contraction and constriction of blood vessels
(Biology–online.org, 2014). The ANS is divided into two branches, thesympathetic nervous system (SN) and the parasympathetic nervous system
(PN). The SN is responsible for the "fight–or–flight" response, which results in increased preparedness for vigorous activity in response to exercise or
emergency. The PN acts antagonistically to the SN, in that it produces the opposite effects to those of the SN. Under normal circumstances, the PN is
dominant, and allows processes such as digestion and defecation to occur, while also conserving energy (Elmhurst.edu, 2014). Most of the visceral
organs of the body are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurones, with the exceptions being sweat glands and the smooth muscle of
blood vessels– they are only innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres (Wieczorek, 2014).
In the ANS, a number of different neurotransmitters and receptors are present. In both the PN and SN, the neurotransmitter at the ganglia is

The Cells And Skeletal Muscle
Neurons and Skeletal Muscle
The human body uses unspecialised sperm cells which come from egg cell from the female or sperm cell form the male (zygote) then they specialise
into neuron and skeletal muscle or any other type of cell. The stem cells are the building blocks they go through a various process called stem cells
differentiation which allows them to be specialise.
The zygote turns into a morula which is called a totipotent; totipotent is a whole organism which can turn into multiple types of cells.
The totipotent cells then turn into a blastocyst by many types of cell division, which forms a lot of cells in side.
The cells that are placed inside are called pulripotent (inner mass cells) the cues decide if the pulripotent is internal by switching on the genes which
decide what type of cell it is.
Which then becomes a unipotent; this is when it becomes specialised cell that makes up the body.
This is called differentiation so it's when unspecialised cells for different types of function, this is what gives people or organism an advantage so they
can cope with environment.
Neurons cells are differentiated cells. The stem cells either become a motor neurone, sensory Neurone or relay neurone. These cells are specialised for

The Importance Of Yoga And Mental Health
Yoga and mental health are two topics that are often put in relation to each other. What if just taking one hour of the day to stretch and meditate could
increase your mood? We ask the question, does yoga affect the mental health and wellness of a person? Yoga is a practice rooted in Indian philosophy
that was expected to relieve pain, stress, depression and other physical and mental health issues. Mental health is based off of psychological, emotional,
and social well–being. Meditation is also integrated in some psychology interventions, which promotes a mind–body intervention (Hendriks, 2017).
Studies have shown why people practice yoga and all of its benefits. From spiritual enlightenment to alternative medicine and rehabilitation, yoga is
becoming a hot topic in the health field. Lisa Diamond, a nurse practitioner and coach for health and wellness, studied yoga as a way for her patients
to incorporate self–management into their care. From a more biological approach, yoga is viewed as a method for stress management and anxiety
relief. Yoga activates theautonomic nervous system and endocrine system, the autonomic system controls involuntary actions in the body while the
endocrine releases hormones in response (Diamond, 2012). The autonomic system is split into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems which are
both greatly affected by yoga. The sympathetic system controls the "fight or flight" response and get the heart pumping under stress; parasympathetic

Reflection About Anxiety
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. What can be at first a seemingly random chain of auditory reverberations has had the most profound effect on
who I am. To hear the frequency and timbre of this string of vibrations hit my cochlea, or to play it in my mind using my auditory loop, elicits the
exact same autonomic arousal that hit me the first time I grasp its meaning. This quote has been with me everywhere. The first moment I gave speech
to a crowd for over a hundred (Osher Foundation scholarship), the words were dancing in the back of my mind. The first time I met my principle
investigator and mentor Karen Dobkins, the quote was on the tip of my tongue. Even, the exact moment my eyes met my future wife for the first time
I whispered it under my breath. To feel the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, the biting cold of a cortisol rush, is to know the cursed taste of
freedom – of being human. Anxiety simply means that you are alive. I recall the first time I had heard the words. It was a cold Californian evening
in October. I was sitting up the bench, alone, overlooking the idyllic suburban highways. Soren Kierkegaard's The Concept of anxiety has and
always will be my favorite book. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Although never fully diagnosed, I did take prescription medicine for a while.

Anosmia Chapter 3 Activity
I decided to research Anosmia to do my chapter 3 activity over. Anosmia is a condition that affects olfaction and the olfactory system. The olfactory
system is our sense of smell, and consists of the olfactory epithelium; olfactory receptor cells; olfactory bulbs; Amygdala; The olfactory cortex, the
limbic system; the thalamus; and the orbitofrontal cortex. Odors travel through the nasal passages and reach the olfactory epithelium. The olfactory
epithelium has around 10 million olfactory receptor cells that detect the odor that travels up the nasal cavity. The olfactory bulb receives the
information from the cells and sends them to the Amygdala and the olfactory cortex. The information is then sent to the limbic system from the
olfactory cortex. After the information is sent to the limbic system it is sent to the thalamus and onto the orbitofrontal cortex, where the information is
processed.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

paracrine factors were included in BM soup. Our results showed that BM soup protects salivary gland cells and restores organ function. This indicated
that transplanted intact bone marrow cells might cross–talk with local tissue by all or some of these components to exert their curative effects. These
findings are in agreement with studies on myocardial infarction treatment by Yeghiazarians group [26]. They reported that injection of bone marrow
cell extract resulted in comparable benefit with intact BM cells. In addition, they also tested the human BM cell extract and fractionated BM cell

Autonomic Nervous System Analysis
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a branch of the central nervous system (CNS) that divides into two divisions. The sympathetic (SNS), fight or
flight division, and the parasympathetic (PNS), rest and digest division both seek to regulate involuntary visceral motor control by transmitting their
signals from the CNS to cardiac muscles, the heart and blood vessels; smooth muscles, the stomach and intestines; and glands, sweat and salivary. The
SNS increases heart rate by transmitting its impulses onto short, myelinated preganglionic neurons that trigger the release of acetylcholine (ACh) onto
nicotinic cholinergic receptors found on the postganglionic cell. The impulse then travels along long, unmyelinated adrenergic postganglionic neurons,

Baroreflex failure syndrome is a rear cardiovascular disease that prevents afferent baroreceptor nerve cells from monitoring and regulation blood
pressure. Baroreceptors respond to high blood pressure by increasing their firing rate, decreasing sympathetic outflow, heart rate, and contractility. This
causes an increase in parasympathetic outflow from the vagus nerve, which causes vasodilation, a decrease in mean arterial pressure, and lowers blood
pressure. Baroreceptors that are found within the carotid sinus and aortic arch, and travel along the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. They send their
sensory input about blood pressure to the cardio–regulatory center of the medulla oblongata, and a sympathetic response leads norepinephrine (NE) to
bind to beta–adrenergic receptors on autorhythmic cells to increase Na+ permeability through funny channels, and Ca2+ permeability through T–type
channels. This triggers a faster drift, a less negative membrane potential, and increases the rate of sinoatrial (SA) node firing, and signal conductance.
The exact mechanism for initiation of the disease is still unknown, but recent studies have hypothesized that the syndrome degrades neurons on both
sides of the solitary tract located in the medulla, and triggers cell necrosis of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. This cranial nerve damage

Blood Pressure Regulation
Blood pressure regulation and changes occurring after increase in blood pressure
Each time the heart pumps, it sends blood all over the body to supply organs and tissues with oxygen and nutrients. The strength of the force created as
the heart pumps blood into the vessels together with the vessels' resistance to the blood flow is defined as the body's blood pressure (Darovic, 2002). A
normal range blood pressure (BP) must be between 100–130mmHg systolic (when the heart is beating) and 60–90mmHg diastolic pressure (between
heart beats) (Sherwood, 1997). Many factors can change blood pressure, including exercise and diet. The regulation of BP within the body is tightly
maintained by nerves, hormones and renal control in relation to three ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These signal messengers will rapidly communicate with the autonomic neural system, in order to decrease sympathetic influence on the heart and
blood vessels and increase parasympathetic activity, so that mean arterial blood pressure returns to its normal. By releasing the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine (Ach), parasympathetic nerves will decrease the frequency of the action potentials of the sinoatrial (SA) and the atrioventricular (AV)
nodes, found in the heart. This mechanism will decrease cardiac output by reducing the number of heart beats and the organ's force of contractions
(Milnor, 1990). Parasympathetic activity will also expand vessels, decreasing their resistance to blood flow and therefore decreasing total peripheral
resistance. As veins get wider, they will retain blood causing a reduction in venous return to the heart. Decreased amount of blood in the ventricles at
the end of diastole (period between contractions of the heart) will consequently decrease cardiac output and blood pressure (Constanzo, 2012).
Electrolytes such as sodium and chloride are essential as they help to maintain body's water balance. However, excessive dietary intake of salt
increases the amount of water retained by the body and as a result increases blood volume (Thomas and Bishop, 2007). When the heart senses the rise
in blood volume, atrial and brain–type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) are synthesized and released. The

Autonomic Nervous And Endocrine System Analysis
Both the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system help to maintain homeostasis within the body. They work together to affect multiple
bodily functions, including reproduction, growth and metabolism (Patel, 2014).
The hypothalamus is a gland that connects the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. It links the two systems together. It receives
messages from all over the body and is responsible for coordinating with the autonomic nervous system to make necessary changes (Martini, Nath,

Theme Of Justice In Boxer And Saints
The sheer complexity of justice, which Gene Luen Yang conveys throughout Boxers and Saints, creates an obscure understanding for when it is truly
served. Still, the theme that justice is solely attained by those who show sympathy towards others is perpetually illustrated throughout both novels.
Yang demonstrates that one's compassion is determined by the reader's sense of justice, which is prevalent if a character dies to save another.
Therefore, the answer to the philosophical question, 'Is justice ever achieved?', is merely dependent upon the compassion shown by a character, as is
the reader's sense of justice regarding it. Essentially, Yang proves that no matter how one begins their fight, justice is served as long as they end it
portraying the greatest act of compassion: saving someone's life even if it means losing their own.
Throughout Boxers and Saints, Bao provokes numerous deaths in order to save his own life, thus ending the story an unjustified character. This is
proven when his father begs him not to leave, but he does so anyways. Bao believes that he is rescuing his father from a damaged state and that this
justifies his desertion; however, his indifference towards his "vow to always respect [his] father's wishes" (Boxers 66) leads to his father's death as "[he]

The vital organs of the body are controlled through a layered approach in which successive levels of integration and organisation are done from the

constant external conditions, these tissue have the ability to operate, without help, due to the presence of intrinsic, reflex control mechanisms.
However, when there is a change in the external environment, there is a need of a system that can detect these changes and notify the vital organs to

Hypothalamus also receives inputs descending from the cortex and the limbic system. These inputs lead to significant changes in the overall
functioning of the body, especially during the times of stress. Every vital organ has the ability to regulate its function during alteration in the external
environment. The most prominent example of this is the change in heart rate during times of stress. The heart has the ability to control its own
pumping action by regulating the contraction rate. This regulatory action is an intrinsic property of the heart, also known as the Frank–Starling
mechanism. According to this, a response is carried out by the heart as a result of the inherent property of the cardiac muscle. This inherent property
allows the cardiac muscles to contract more upon excessive stretching in times of stress. This leads to more flow of blood into the heart, which leads to
more filling of the arterial chambers before each beat. This in turn causes the ventricles to fill in more leading to more stretch on the ventricular walls.
This way the heart keeps up with the growing demand of blood by the body by change in its coordinated

The book's main appeal and power is the author's use of Estrella, who serves as the focal point of all the large issues. In one particular scene, we
see Estrella playing with one a naked doll. Estrella asks the naked doll if she was okay and then shook the doll's head "No". This conversation with
the doll can be seen as the sense of denial that takes place in a child's mind that is not allowed to openly express herself, her fears, her anxieties, and
her hopes. She allows the doll to represent her honest feelings about the lifestyle of living she is placed in. She is a unique and interesting individual,
who will not grow up to be knocked down by economic issues, difficult labor, and especially men.
She is being raised in a world where women are expected to suffer silently and to be at the mercy of their men. However, men were not expected to
return this slave–like behavior for the women. This setting of the novel allows the reader to see exactly how treacherous life can be. This suffering
is so present in Estrella's family's lives, yet she somehow is able to bring the family along no matter how difficult the situation may be. She is still

Comparing Journey, North Coast And The Meatworks
Discoveries are everywhere in everyday life and they can impact the way we see the world, either positively or negatively. Because of this, it can be
noted that "Not all discoveries are welcomed". We can explore this philosophy through the examination of various techniques found within both
Robert Gray's 'Journey, North Coast' and 'The Meatworks', as well Leo Matsuda's animated short film, 'Inner workings'. These three texts, although
all having visual processes of discovery, offer juxtaposing perspectives on the acceptance (or lack of) towards discoveries. Discoveries can be
confronting and provocative. From this, we can be exposed to disturbing images that make us question our societal values. In 'The Meatworks', Gray
quickly establishes this unwelcoming nature of discoveries through the explicitly derogatory description of the abattoirs processes and it's accompanied
workers. This is evident through the use of provocative imagery in "arm–thick corkscrews, grinding around inside it, meat or not". From this depiction,
we are exposed to the merciless treatment of the of the +pigs as they lose their identity. The fact that the machine never stops grinding whether there is
meat in there or not denotes such a sense of insensitivity towards the process, causing the reader to feel distressed and guilty of the slaughter. A degree

The Effect Of Breath Holding On The Heart Rate Essay
Experiment A:
The main purpose of this experiment, was to demonstrate and understand the effect of breath–holding on the heart rate (apnoea).
Bradycardia effect refers to a decrease in heart rate and this would have been the ideal outcome of our experiment (breath–holding), by demonstrating
the cardiovascular control centre responding to the breath–hold via the chemoreceptors; hence leading to an activation of an increase in
parasympathetic nerve activity to the heart.
The decrease in the heart rate would result in both the Finger pulse Transducer – connected to the test subject's index finger– and the Polar Heart Rate
monitor picking up on the changed heart rate.
Likewise, in our experiment, the Bradycardia effect was observed after apnoea during our experiment when measured with the FPT. However, when
measured with the PHRM, a slight increase in Robert's (test subject) heart rate was observed during the 1st 15 seconds of the Breath–hold.
Nevertheless, bradycardia effect was seen for the PHRM during the second 15 seconds of Apnoea, meaning that our PHRM measurement (which lightly
different from the "idea" expected outcome) may have been disrupted by testing environments, that contributed to the results of the experiment.
A common contributing factor to an increase of Heart rate rather than a decrease, is excitement and/or anxiety (due to being unfamiliar to

The purpose of lab six, is demonstrate how different activities like exercise, postural changes, and cognitive thinking change arterial pressure as well
as heart rate. Blood pressure, which is abbreviated as BP is the force that is placed onto vessel walls by the blood that it contains. In healthy
individuals, BP should be 120/80 mmHg, but recent research has shown that healthy individuals BP should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. The first
number, in this case 120 is known as the systolic number. The systolic number is known as the amount of pressure placed onto the vessel wall byblood
during ventricular contraction. When someone is taking another persons blood pressure, this is the first sound that the person will hear. This is because
the blood vessel opened up enough to allow blood to begin passing through. The second number, 80 represents the diastolic number. The diastolic
number represents when the vessel is relaxing and blood is getting through without any extra force. Also, this number is represented by the last sound
an individual hears in their stethoscope. Aside from BP,heart rate also known as pulse rate, is the number of times a persons heart beats in a minute.

Jim's body has slowed down and was giving 80% body effort while ignoring the pain.
#2. What changes in Jim's muscles promote unloading of O2 from hemoglobin for use by the muscles cells?
When Jim's muscles and cells are feeling the burning sensation this is caused by the O2 from hemoglobin when these cells are being used excessively.
He used up his hemoglobin by vigorously rowing the boat up to its maximum speed. This causes the muscles to use his oxygen within the cells so the
body could maintain homeostasis.
#3. Why do Jim's muscles feel like they are burning?
The reason that Jim's muscles are feeling the burning sensation is because they are experiencing sensory info from his nervous system. This feeling is
due to the increase of activity and fatigue occurring because he over exerted his body. Also his body has been using his glycogen within the cells
which make lactic acid which causes the burn Jim is experiencing.

because of this that he becomes very scared of being a Jew. I feel that the effect would have been the same had Mr. Newman somehow become black

Monitoring HRV can provide information about the function of the autonomic nervous system. HRV is a non–invasive index of the neural control of
the heart (Acharya, Sing, Ping & Chua, 2004). Although it is difficult to establish a particular standard normal heart rate for a given individual, most
individuals have a typical range from 60 to 100 beats per minute (Fox et al., 2007). However, the interval between each heartbeat constantly varies. High
frequency variability in RR reflects parasympathetic activation, while a slower variability in RR reflects a combination of both parasympathetic and
sympathetic modulation along with non–autonomic factors. When interpreting HRV data, there are several components in the power spectrum that
can have fluctuating ranges. A power spectrum is a plot of the portion of a signal's power or energy per unit time, falling within given frequency
bands. The three major bands of the power spectrum in HRV are high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), and very low frequency (VLF). A HF
peak typically ranges between 0.15 Hz to 0.4 Hz, while a LF peak ranges from 0.06 to 0.15 Hz. A VLF peak is below .05 Hz (Kamath & Fallen,

  • 1. The Autonomic Nervous System ( Sns ) Division Of The... Autonomics and Stress Introduction: The autonomic nervous system, which is the division of the central nervous system that is not consciously controlled but regulates bodily functions, is influenced by stress. Stress can be defined as a stimulus that interrupts homeostasis within the body, either physiologically or psychologically. The influence that it has is innovation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) division of the ANS, and can include changes to skin conductance, heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature and respiratory rate1. Under SNS activation, caused by stress, heart rate, skin temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure and skin conductance will all increase1,2. This experiment aimed to choose a stressor that would influence autonomic measures and record the response. The choice of stressor used in this experiment was invasion of an individual's personal space, measured via skin conductance and heart rate. There is known to be a linear relationship between discomfort or tension and the invasion of personal space3 and this experiment aimed to test this response via autonomic parameters. For example the skin conductance measure would indicate sweat; if conductance increases there is less skin resistance due to the increase in sweat from SNS innovation, caused by the stressor1. The cardiovascular responses observed could be due to an inhibition of parasympathetic activity, activation of SNS or a mixture of both2,3. The null hypothesis for this experiment ...

  • 2. Alcohol Syncope Abstract Alcohol consumption may be linked to syncopal events. The mechanism by which alcohol may induce syncope is not well understood. Impairment of the response to orthostatic stress may be involved. A growing body of medical evidence suggests that short–term alcohol consumption elicits hypotension during orthostatic stress because of impairment of vasoconstriction. These findings have implications for understanding of hemodynamic effects of alcohol and, in particular, for understanding syncopal events that occur in association with alcohol intake. A 27–year–old African American female with a previous syncopal event following alcohol consumption was brought to the Emergency Department by ambulance after a witnessed ...

Case Report A 27–year–old, well–appearing African American female was brought to the Emergency Department by Emergency Medical Services after a witnessed syncopal episode. The only medical history is a previous alcohol–induced syncope 2 years ago. The patient does not have any past surgical history. The patient only drinks socially. She does not smoke, and she denied any drug use. The patient lives with mother, and works as a nursing assistant in a nursing home. The patient admitted to drinking "a shot of vodka" approximately 10 minutes prior to syncopal episode. The patient fell upon standing and hit the back of her head on the floor. Patient's significant other who witnessed the syncopal event reported that loss of consciousness (LOC) lasted about 2 minutes. EMS was consequently called. According to EMS, the patient was still on the floor, alert and oriented only to self upon their arrival. She was lethargic. The patient did not remember passing out. She was subsequently transported to the Emergency department. Patient did improve remarkably on the way to the hospital. Upon arrival to the Emergency Department, patient was alert and ...

  • 3. Autonomic Nervous System The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS), function in a complementary and integrated manner to maintain homeostasis. The output of the autonomic nervous system is quick in comparison to the endocrine system functions. In most cases, these systems have opposite effects, where one initiates a physiological response and the other inhibits. The nerves of this system regulate vital internal functions which are generally performed without conscious control (Khan Academy, 2014). The output of the ANS effects smooth, cardiac muscle and glandular tissue (Betts et al, 2013) The sympathetic division is associated with the "fight or flight" response, dominating in stressful situations ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The synapse at the axon terminal of the postganglionic neuron and the target effector cell (in the form of muscle or gland) uses epinephrine /norepinephrine (adrenaline/noradrenaline) (AK Lectures, 2014) The parasympathetic division however, is concerned with "rest and digest" responses and when active, reverses the effects of the SNS. The PNS system increases blood flow to digestive organs and excretory system and decreases the blood flow to skeletal tissue (an opposite effect to the SNS) (AK Lectures, 2014) Salivary secretion is increased and gastric motility is stimulated to facilitate digestion (McCorry, 2007). The PNS either originates at the start of the spinal cord or at the end (Khan Academy, 2014). The preganglionic neuron is of long structure and uses acetylcholine to transmit signals to the shorter postganglionic neuron. The postganglionic neuron continues to use acetylcholine to transmit to the target effector cell (AK Lectures, 2014) Question 2 (1.3) Using Illustrations, and a short commentary, describe the sensory and motor neuron. Figure 1– A Motor Neuron (Biologymad, n.d.) Figure 2– A Sensory Neuron (Biologymad, n.d.)

  • 7. Contemporary Attachment Theory : Epigenetics, Right Brain,... Contemporary Attachment Theory: Epigenetics, Right Brain, and Regulation An interdisciplinary move toward consilience, along with advances in developmental, neurobiological, and epigenetic research, has expanded Bowlby's fundamental ideas into increasingly complex, refinements of contemporary attachment theory, that include findings from epigenetics, and brain, especially right brain, development while illuminating auto regulatory functions. Epigenetics. Contemporary attachment theorists now view the organization of brain systems as an outcome of the interaction between environmental influence and genetically coded programs for the formation of structures and connections among structures (Fox & Calkins, 2003). That is to say that the environment literally effects structural, and thus functional, growth by inducing the expression of genes responsible for the unfolding of those structures and their collective interconnections. As Schore (1997) so eloquently explains: The onset and offset of sensitive periods, "unique windows of organism–environmentinteraction," are now attributed to the activation and expression of families of programed genes which synchronously turn on and off during infancy, thereby controlling the transient enhanced expression of enzymes of biosynthetic pathways which allow for growth in particular brain regions. In light of the established principles that early postnatal development represents an experiential shaping of genetic potential, a new ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The film of Hector and the Search for Happiness has a captivating plot which makes us want to watch it until the end. Since in his research Hector goes to three places and each place has their own moral value, this film is suitable for your soul. One of the places that Hector visits is China. In the movie, China is described as a wonderful country, which has unique culture. The second place is Africa, with glorious savannah and wild animals. Next, in Los Angeles, Hector obtains some happiness meanings and feels what happiness is. There are many good films. However, Hector and the Search for Happiness stands out from other movies for its inspirational plotline and enthralling moral value.

Additionally, the emotional state of an individual plays an important role on the magnitude of the startle response. They suggest that those with GAD be given treatments involved in helping focus their attention outward. This could help those individuals have less anxiety, decreased negative emotional states, a decreased startle response, and less worry. This article is relevant to my research because it discusses an example of how the ANS dysfunction affects some individuals, specifically those with GAD. It discusses a simple, yet possible, solution that disorders like this can be treated by focusing on real world events compared to internal emotions. Article 8 Reeves, J. W., Fisher, A.

I wish I could touch him and wrap my arms around torso, and tell him how sorry I am. But I cannot, I am a coward. I am afraid of looking at my son. I know that he is still around, I can feel him following me. I can feel his cold stare lurking behind me, I can feel the guilt he put upon me. Whenever you lose something, a necklace, your keys or whatever. Everyone tells you to look in the last place you saw it. You search everywhere, but without luck it is nowhere. The last place I was able to talk to Bruno was in my office, where I now spend the last of my crippling days. Earlier this month I decided that there was something wrong ...

This was the boy who was so full of life. Bruno's eyes looked empty like soulless pits of gray, his body grew thinner in fact so did his face. His skin looked sick and pale and his head was still bald. Looking at him made me weak. Bruno almost looked like a Jew. TWO Every time I visited the gas chambers there Bruno sat, staring at me almost as if he wanted to tell me something. Today, I worked up the courage to go up to Bruno and he said no words. He just stared at me, with fear in his eyes. He looked at me the way my soldiers looked at me. He said nothing but his voice continued to occupy my thoughts. Swallowing the giant lump in my throat, I invited him into the house. When we did arrive Bruno went inside of the house and grabbed a blanket he placed it on the ground in the garden and he sat down, he patted the spot next to his inviting me to sit down. We lied down there for hours until it grew dark, Bruno refused to speak the whole time we were there he would point out clouds and constellations but no words. We spent an hour in silence just staring at the moon. Bruno pointed at a shooting star. "Did you make a wish?" I asked. He nodded his head. "What did you wish for?"

  • 14. Pathology Of The Autonomic Nervous System Introduction In this report, the symptoms of this patient will be diagnosed, and the causes of them discussed with reference to the physiology and pharmacology of the autonomic nervous system. The Autonomic Nervous System The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of the motor division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that controls involuntary processes in the body (Wieczorek, 2014). Such functions include control of heart rate, gland activity, smooth muscle contraction and constriction of blood vessels (Biology–online.org, 2014). The ANS is divided into two branches, thesympathetic nervous system (SN) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PN). The SN is responsible for the "fight–or–flight" response, which results in increased preparedness for vigorous activity in response to exercise or emergency. The PN acts antagonistically to the SN, in that it produces the opposite effects to those of the SN. Under normal circumstances, the PN is dominant, and allows processes such as digestion and defecation to occur, while also conserving energy (Elmhurst.edu, 2014). Most of the visceral organs of the body are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurones, with the exceptions being sweat glands and the smooth muscle of blood vessels– they are only innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres (Wieczorek, 2014). In the ANS, a number of different neurotransmitters and receptors are present. In both the PN and SN, the neurotransmitter at the ganglia is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 16. The Cells And Skeletal Muscle Neurons and Skeletal Muscle The human body uses unspecialised sperm cells which come from egg cell from the female or sperm cell form the male (zygote) then they specialise into neuron and skeletal muscle or any other type of cell. The stem cells are the building blocks they go through a various process called stem cells differentiation which allows them to be specialise. The zygote turns into a morula which is called a totipotent; totipotent is a whole organism which can turn into multiple types of cells. The totipotent cells then turn into a blastocyst by many types of cell division, which forms a lot of cells in side. The cells that are placed inside are called pulripotent (inner mass cells) the cues decide if the pulripotent is internal by switching on the genes which decide what type of cell it is. Which then becomes a unipotent; this is when it becomes specialised cell that makes up the body. This is called differentiation so it's when unspecialised cells for different types of function, this is what gives people or organism an advantage so they can cope with environment. Neurons cells are differentiated cells. The stem cells either become a motor neurone, sensory Neurone or relay neurone.

What if just taking one hour of the day to stretch and meditate could increase your mood? We ask the question, does yoga affect the mental health and wellness of a person? Yoga is a practice rooted in Indian philosophy that was expected to relieve pain, stress, depression and other physical and mental health issues. Mental health is based off of psychological, emotional, and social well–being. Meditation is also integrated in some psychology interventions, which promotes a mind–body intervention (Hendriks, 2017). Studies have shown why people practice yoga and all of its benefits. From spiritual enlightenment to alternative medicine and rehabilitation, yoga is becoming a hot topic in the health field. Lisa Diamond, a nurse practitioner and coach for health and wellness, studied yoga as a way for her patients to incorporate self–management into their care. From a more biological approach, yoga is viewed as a method for stress management and anxiety relief. Yoga activates theautonomic nervous system and endocrine system, the autonomic system controls involuntary actions in the body while the endocrine releases hormones in response (Diamond, 2012).

To hear the frequency and timbre of this string of vibrations hit my cochlea, or to play it in my mind using my auditory loop, elicits the exact same autonomic arousal that hit me the first time I grasp its meaning. This quote has been with me everywhere. The first moment I gave speech to a crowd for over a hundred (Osher Foundation scholarship), the words were dancing in the back of my mind. The first time I met my principle investigator and mentor Karen Dobkins, the quote was on the tip of my tongue. Even, the exact moment my eyes met my future wife for the first time I whispered it under my breath. To feel the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, the biting cold of a cortisol rush, is to know the cursed taste of freedom – of being human. Anxiety simply means that you are alive. I recall the first time I had heard the words. It was a cold Californian evening in October. I was sitting up the bench, alone, overlooking the idyllic suburban highways. Soren Kierkegaard's The Concept of anxiety has and always will be my favorite book. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Although never fully diagnosed, I did take prescription medicine for a while.

Odors travel through the nasal passages and reach the olfactory epithelium. The olfactory epithelium has around 10 million olfactory receptor cells that detect the odor that travels up the nasal cavity. The olfactory bulb receives the information from the cells and sends them to the Amygdala and the olfactory cortex. The information is then sent to the limbic system from the olfactory cortex. After the information is sent to the limbic system it is sent to the thalamus and onto the orbitofrontal cortex, where the information is processed.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

To reduce the irradiation damage of salivary glands, many approaches are being tested. The best approaches are to spare salivary glands from the high dose co–irradiation as much as possible with either advanced techniques, such as IMRT and proton [29], or gland transfer[30].

In this study, only soluble components of cell lysate from whole bone marrow cells were used. All types of BM cells were lysed and numerous paracrine factors were included in BM soup. Our results showed that BM soup protects salivary gland cells and restores organ function. This indicated that transplanted intact bone marrow cells might cross–talk with local tissue by all or some of these components to exert their curative effects. These findings are in agreement with studies on myocardial infarction treatment by Yeghiazarians group [26]. They reported that injection of bone marrow cell extract resulted in comparable benefit with intact BM cells. In addition, they also tested the human BM cell extract and fractionated BM cell extract in mouse model and found that human BM extract was able to improve the cardiac function without immune rejection[28], but fractionated BM extract showed limited effects comparing with the whole BM cells[40]. Given all that, BM soup showed comparable benefit on tissue regeneration with intact cell transplantation, and even better in terms of immune rejection or tumorigenecity.

  • 23. Autonomic Nervous System Analysis The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a branch of the central nervous system (CNS) that divides into two divisions. The sympathetic (SNS), fight or flight division, and the parasympathetic (PNS), rest and digest division both seek to regulate involuntary visceral motor control by transmitting their signals from the CNS to cardiac muscles, the heart and blood vessels; smooth muscles, the stomach and intestines; and glands, sweat and salivary. The SNS increases heart rate by transmitting its impulses onto short, myelinated preganglionic neurons that trigger the release of acetylcholine (ACh) onto nicotinic cholinergic receptors found on the postganglionic cell. The impulse then travels along long, unmyelinated adrenergic postganglionic neurons, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Baroreflex failure syndrome is a rear cardiovascular disease that prevents afferent baroreceptor nerve cells from monitoring and regulation blood pressure. Baroreceptors respond to high blood pressure by increasing their firing rate, decreasing sympathetic outflow, heart rate, and contractility. This causes an increase in parasympathetic outflow from the vagus nerve, which causes vasodilation, a decrease in mean arterial pressure, and lowers blood pressure. Baroreceptors that are found within the carotid sinus and aortic arch, and travel along the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. They send their sensory input about blood pressure to the cardio–regulatory center of the medulla oblongata, and a sympathetic response leads norepinephrine (NE) to bind to beta–adrenergic receptors on autorhythmic cells to increase Na+ permeability through funny channels, and Ca2+ permeability through T–type channels. This triggers a faster drift, a less negative membrane potential, and increases the rate of sinoatrial (SA) node firing, and signal conductance. The exact mechanism for initiation of the disease is still unknown, but recent studies have hypothesized that the syndrome degrades neurons on both sides of the solitary tract located in the medulla, and triggers cell necrosis of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. This cranial nerve damage impairs the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 24. Blood Pressure Regulation Blood pressure regulation and changes occurring after increase in blood pressure Each time the heart pumps, it sends blood all over the body to supply organs and tissues with oxygen and nutrients. The strength of the force created as the heart pumps blood into the vessels together with the vessels' resistance to the blood flow is defined as the body's blood pressure (Darovic, 2002). A normal range blood pressure (BP) must be between 100–130mmHg systolic (when the heart is beating) and 60–90mmHg diastolic pressure (between heart beats) (Sherwood, 1997). Many factors can change blood pressure, including exercise and diet. The regulation of BP within the body is tightly maintained by nerves, hormones and renal control in relation to three ...

These signal messengers will rapidly communicate with the autonomic neural system, in order to decrease sympathetic influence on the heart and blood vessels and increase parasympathetic activity, so that mean arterial blood pressure returns to its normal. By releasing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach), parasympathetic nerves will decrease the frequency of the action potentials of the sinoatrial (SA) and the atrioventricular (AV) nodes, found in the heart. This mechanism will decrease cardiac output by reducing the number of heart beats and the organ's force of contractions (Milnor, 1990). Parasympathetic activity will also expand vessels, decreasing their resistance to blood flow and therefore decreasing total peripheral resistance. As veins get wider, they will retain blood causing a reduction in venous return to the heart. Decreased amount of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole (period between contractions of the heart) will consequently decrease cardiac output and blood pressure (Constanzo, 2012). Electrolytes such as sodium and chloride are essential as they help to maintain body's water balance. However, excessive dietary intake of salt increases the amount of water retained by the body and as a result increases blood volume (Thomas and Bishop, 2007). When the heart senses the rise in blood volume, atrial and brain–type natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP) are synthesized and released. The ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Instead of remaining tense and alert, they turned their back to the net, strutted to the sideline in a matador–esque posture, and then put their full attention on picking strings on their racket to test the tension. When he compared the records of players who stayed mentally "engaged" during breaks versus those who "disengaged" and occupied themselves with a new task, he found the latter had statistically higher win rates. The theory Loher hatched to explain the discrepancy in performances was one of energy conservation. Even though both groups of players physically stopped during their breaks, the tennis players who stayed mentally engaged during breaks were still playing the game in their head even when "resting", never truly switching gears, while the athletes who were able to disengage and focus on a different task––even if only for ten seconds or less––returned to play with a mental edge that allowed them to consistently best their opponents by the end of the match.

  • 29. Theme Of Justice In Boxer And Saints The sheer complexity of justice, which Gene Luen Yang conveys throughout Boxers and Saints, creates an obscure understanding for when it is truly served. Still, the theme that justice is solely attained by those who show sympathy towards others is perpetually illustrated throughout both novels. Yang demonstrates that one's compassion is determined by the reader's sense of justice, which is prevalent if a character dies to save another. Therefore, the answer to the philosophical question, 'Is justice ever achieved?', is merely dependent upon the compassion shown by a character, as is the reader's sense of justice regarding it. Essentially, Yang proves that no matter how one begins their fight, justice is served as long as they end it portraying the greatest act of compassion: saving someone's life even if it means losing their own. Throughout Boxers and Saints, Bao provokes numerous deaths in order to save his own life, thus ending the story an unjustified character. This is proven when his father begs him not to leave, but he does so anyways. Bao believes that he is rescuing his father from a damaged state and that this justifies his desertion; however, his indifference towards his "vow to always respect [his] father's wishes" (Boxers 66) leads to his father's death as "[he] refuse[s] to eat" (Boxers 261).

Hypothalamus also receives inputs descending from the cortex and the limbic system. These inputs lead to significant changes in the overall functioning of the body, especially during the times of stress. Every vital organ has the ability to regulate its function during alteration in the external environment. The most prominent example of this is the change in heart rate during times of stress. The heart has the ability to control its own pumping action by regulating the contraction rate. This regulatory action is an intrinsic property of the heart, also known as the Frank–Starling mechanism. According to this, a response is carried out by the heart as a result of the inherent property of the cardiac muscle. This inherent property allows the cardiac muscles to contract more upon excessive stretching in times of stress. This leads to more flow of blood into the heart, which leads to more filling of the arterial chambers before each beat. This in turn causes the ventricles to fill in more leading to more stretch on the ventricular walls. This way the heart keeps up with the growing demand of blood by the body by change in its coordinated ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This airport was small and on a normal day did not have a lot of air traffic. The airport was not equipped to handle the amount of planes, or the large planes because they were not the appropriate size nor did they have the proper dimensions to allow the large planes to make the appropriate maneuvers. There was no ground radar, there was no ground lights, clouds are moving in and minimizing visibility, and they had to work in their second language. Why did the controllers ever feel it was safe to guide planes they were unfamiliar with completely blind? Why did they not ground the planes when the fog moved in?

He is very task concerned, and in the case of Tenerife very focused on himself and hitting the Dutch law deadline, which caused him to not focus fully on the task of flying his plane safely off of Tenerife.

  • 34. Positive Airway Pressure Essay Introduction Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the standard treatment for patients with moderate–to–severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); a sleep–related breathing disorder (SRBD) characterized by episodic complete or partial upper airway occlusion during sleep.1 Over the past years, the relationship between SRBD and cardiac arrhythmias have been thoroughly investigated.2–7 Previous studies have shown that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) predisposes to clinically significant nocturnal impairment of the cardiac autonomic function and such impairment correlated with the severity of OSAS.8–11 The respiratory event–related cyclic hypoxemia and arousal characteristic of OSA causes dysregulation in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the form of enhanced sympathetic activity, such impairment is thought to be the substrate ...

  • 35. Comparing The Autonomic Nervous System And Neurons The autonomic nervous system controls cardiac, smooth muscle and the glandular tissue. It is vital in emergency and nonemergency (rest /digest). It is responsible for nearly all voluntary muscle movements as well as for processing sensory information that arrives via external stimuli including hearing, touch, and sight. The autonomic nervous system contains 2 subdivisions which are the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The general action of the sympathetic nervous system is to mobilise the body's first or flight response (how the body reacts to perceive danger) by preparing the body to put out energy and to protect it from effects of injury. However, the parasympathetic nervous system restores the body a state of calm. It is a slow system and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Neurons communicate at structures called synapses. Typicalneuron consists of a large number of extension called dendrites that ties neurotransmitter chemical migrating across the synaptic gaps separating neuron. There are usually like a spikes extending out from cell body. Cell body (soma) contains Nucleus, cytoplasm organelles and is the metabolic centre of the cell, Brings information to the neuron. One extension is different from all the others, and is called the axon. The purpose of the axon is to transit an electro chemical signal to other neurons. The longer axons are covered with a myelin sheath, the purpose of myelin sheath is to protect and insulate axons, and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses. At the end of the axon is terminal buttons, it releases neurotransmitters (Appendix, Fig1). Neurotransmitters play a role in the way human behave, learn and sleep and some pay in mental illness.When they are released from the neurotransmitter vesicles of the presynaptic membrane, the normal movement of molecules is directed to receptor sites situated on the postsynaptic membrane. However, in some disease, the flow of the neurotransmitter is imperfect.

  • 36. Comparing Journey, North Coast And The Meatworks Discoveries are everywhere in everyday life and they can impact the way we see the world, either positively or negatively. Because of this, it can be noted that "Not all discoveries are welcomed". We can explore this philosophy through the examination of various techniques found within both Robert Gray's 'Journey, North Coast' and 'The Meatworks', as well Leo Matsuda's animated short film, 'Inner workings'. These three texts, although all having visual processes of discovery, offer juxtaposing perspectives on the acceptance (or lack of) towards discoveries. Discoveries can be confronting and provocative. From this, we can be exposed to disturbing images that make us question our societal values. In 'The Meatworks', Gray quickly establishes this unwelcoming nature of discoveries through the explicitly derogatory description of the abattoirs processes and it's accompanied workers. This is evident through the use of provocative imagery in "arm–thick corkscrews, grinding around inside it, meat or not". From this depiction, we are exposed to the merciless treatment of the of the +pigs as they lose their identity. The fact that the machine never stops grinding whether there is meat in there or not denotes such a sense of insensitivity towards the process, causing the reader to feel distressed and guilty of the slaughter. A degree of insensitivity is also presented to the reader through the recurring motif of blood, an idea that is central to the poem. "Stench of blood...chomping ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. The Effect Of Breath Holding On The Heart Rate Essay Experiment A: The main purpose of this experiment, was to demonstrate and understand the effect of breath–holding on the heart rate (apnoea). Bradycardia effect refers to a decrease in heart rate and this would have been the ideal outcome of our experiment (breath–holding), by demonstrating the cardiovascular control centre responding to the breath–hold via the chemoreceptors; hence leading to an activation of an increase in parasympathetic nerve activity to the heart. The decrease in the heart rate would result in both the Finger pulse Transducer – connected to the test subject's index finger– and the Polar Heart Rate monitor picking up on the changed heart rate. Likewise, in our experiment, the Bradycardia effect was observed after apnoea during our experiment when measured with the FPT. However, when measured with the PHRM, a slight increase in Robert's (test subject) heart rate was observed during the 1st 15 seconds of the Breath–hold. Nevertheless, bradycardia effect was seen for the PHRM during the second 15 seconds of Apnoea, meaning that our PHRM measurement (which lightly different from the "idea" expected outcome) may have been disrupted by testing environments, that contributed to the results of the experiment. A common contributing factor to an increase of Heart rate rather than a decrease, is excitement and/or anxiety (due to being unfamiliar to breath–holding as this is the first experiment) felt by the test subject which leads to the stimulation of the ...

  • 38. How Different Activities Like Exercise, Postural Changes,... The purpose of lab six, is demonstrate how different activities like exercise, postural changes, and cognitive thinking change arterial pressure as well as heart rate. Blood pressure, which is abbreviated as BP is the force that is placed onto vessel walls by the blood that it contains. In healthy individuals, BP should be 120/80 mmHg, but recent research has shown that healthy individuals BP should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. The first number, in this case 120 is known as the systolic number. The systolic number is known as the amount of pressure placed onto the vessel wall byblood during ventricular contraction. When someone is taking another persons blood pressure, this is the first sound that the person will hear. This is because the blood vessel opened up enough to allow blood to begin passing through. The second number, 80 represents the diastolic number. The diastolic number represents when the vessel is relaxing and blood is getting through without any extra force. Also, this number is represented by the last sound an individual hears in their stethoscope. Aside from BP,heart rate also known as pulse rate, is the number of times a persons heart beats in a minute. (Marieb & Hoehn, 2014, pp. 708–710). Another important concept is mean arterial pressure, which is abbreviated as MAP. This pressure propels blood to body tissues and in the average pressure that is pushed onto the walls of arteries by blood. (Marieb & Hoehn, 2014, p. 709). MAP can be determined by ...

What is responsible for raising Jim's heart and respiratory rate and stimulating sweat just before the race? When the race is almost ready to begin, Jim's nervous system sends signals to his heart causing his respiratory rate to increase. Since Jim's heart and respiratory rate increases this causes him to breathe more rapidly and causes him to sweat to maintain a normal body temperature. #2. Why is the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system active just before the race? When Jim is about to start the race he feels the pressure and the stress of having to do his best which makes his autonomic nervous system more active due to the ...

What changes in Jim's muscles promote unloading of O2 from hemoglobin for use by the muscles cells? When Jim's muscles and cells are feeling the burning sensation this is caused by the O2 from hemoglobin when these cells are being used excessively. He used up his hemoglobin by vigorously rowing the boat up to its maximum speed. This causes the muscles to use his oxygen within the cells so the body could maintain homeostasis. #3. Why do Jim's muscles feel like they are burning? The reason that Jim's muscles are feeling the burning sensation is because they are experiencing sensory info from his nervous system. This feeling is due to the increase of activity and fatigue occurring because he over exerted his body. Also his body has been using his glycogen within the cells which make lactic acid which causes the burn Jim is experiencing. #4. What conflict is produced between Jim's need to keep his body cool and his need to remove nitrogenous wastes from his blood? What did he do before the race to help alleviate this conflict? The conflict between keeping his body cool and his need to remove nitrogenous wastes is hydration vs. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. Arthur Miller's Focus y Arthur Miller "Focus", by Arthur Miller, raises many complex issues with its plot and its characters' interaction with one another. The book deals with a man named Mr. Newman, who lives his whole life as a xenophobic white Christian and feels that " his kind are above the rest of society". When he gets a pair of glasses, his appearance changes, and he looks like a Jew. This results in many changes in the life of Mr. Newman. Being treated as a "Jew" takes a toll on his daily life. Of the many characters in this story, only one of them, Mr. Finkelstein, is a true Jew. He is the subject of much hatred in his neighborhood, which is filled with anti–Semitic people. When Mr. Newman begins to experience a small portion of this hatred too, he turns ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He begins to see that he had acted the same way, before he got his glasses. This realization leads Mr. Newman to wonder if he really wants to try to reintegrate into Christian society. "Focus" has a complex plot in which a man is forced to deal with the problem of becoming what he most fears, a less than " normal" person. One of the messages that I feel this story is trying to send is that people who are different are not necessarily bad. The protagonist never had a real conversation or even spent any time with a Jew, so therefore he did not really know anything about these people. It is because of this that he becomes very scared of being a Jew. I feel that the effect would have been the same had Mr. Newman somehow become black or Hispanic, for the author is just using the Jew as a symbol of a person different than the "normal" white Christian. When people have no distinct contact with a group of people who has different beliefs, they become fearful and anxious and even develop a hatred. Therefore, people must come face to face with the element of society which they fear most, in order that they realize that people are generally the same ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. The Autonomic Nervous System Sleep is necessary for basic health and survival. It plays a large role in an individual's mental, emotional, and physiological welfare and functioning. After years of sleep research focusing on sleep–wake cycles, evidence points to the conclusion that sleep deprivation has detrimental consequences, not only on rodents, but humans as well (Cheng et al., 2015). In the past century, the average amount of time that adults sleep has decreased significantly. Consequently, sleep problems have become an epidemic, taking their toll on the health of adult populations in numerous ways. The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) conducted a Gallup Poll in March 2002 in which American lifestyles, sleep habits, and sleep problems were surveyed. The results... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Monitoring HRV can provide information about the function of the autonomic nervous system. HRV is a non–invasive index of the neural control of the heart (Acharya, Sing, Ping & Chua, 2004). Although it is difficult to establish a particular standard normal heart rate for a given individual, most individuals have a typical range from 60 to 100 beats per minute (Fox et al., 2007). However, the interval between each heartbeat constantly varies. High frequency variability in RR reflects parasympathetic activation, while a slower variability in RR reflects a combination of both parasympathetic and sympathetic modulation along with non–autonomic factors. When interpreting HRV data, there are several components in the power spectrum that can have fluctuating ranges. A power spectrum is a plot of the portion of a signal's power or energy per unit time, falling within given frequency bands. The three major bands of the power spectrum in HRV are high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), and very low frequency (VLF). A HF peak typically ranges between 0.15 Hz to 0.4 Hz, while a LF peak ranges from 0.06 to 0.15 Hz. A VLF peak is below .05 Hz (Kamath & Fallen, 1993). The LF is associated with blood pressure control and reflects sympathetic activity. The HF is correlated with respiratory sinus arrhythmia and reflects parasympathetic activity ...
