...Alejandra Perdomo SPC 1017- Prof Lichtman Traditional Acupuncture Thesis: Acupuncture has some therapeutic benefits. Purpose: To inform my audience of what acupuncture is, how it works, and the benefits that follow treatments. Introduction: I. How many of you know what acupuncture is? A. Acupuncture is a 3,000-year-old healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine. B. By understanding acupuncture, how it works, and what goes on during appointments, you’ll be more open to getting this sort of treatment. [FIRST, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING] Body: I. What is Acupuncture? How does it work? A. Acupuncture is an age-old healing practice form of Chinese Medicine that’s been around for centuries now and it involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient's skin at specific points on the body. B. It's based on the theory that energy, called chi, flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians. Each meridian corresponds to one organ, or group of organs, that governs particular bodily functions. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang forces balanced. However, if chi gets blocked, the disruption can lead to pain, lack of function, or illness. C. Acupuncture seeks to release chi by stimulating points along 14 energy pathways. Scientists say the needles cause the body to release endorphins -- natural painkillers -- and may boost blood flow and change brain activity. [YOU MIGHT ASK] II. What...

...anatomy and physiology of human body systems. Learners will be able to gain an overview of the organisation of the human body before looking at how body systems work together to provide energy for the body. Learners will have the opportunity to investigate how homeostatic mechanisms operate in the body. Unit introduction This unit introduces core knowledge of cellular structure and function, and the organisation of the body as a whole, and then builds on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in energy metabolism. Learners will examine the homeostatic mechanisms involved in regulating these systems to maintain health. Learners will be given the opportunity to undertake practical activities which will require them to take measurements of the cardio-vascular system, the respiratory system and of body temperature, using noninvasive techniques to investigate normal responses to routine variations in body functioning. This unit provides the core understanding of human physiology that underpins the study of the specialist physiology units within this programme. The unit also provides an overview of body functioning that is valuable for anyone working or intending to work in a field relating to health and social care.

...ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY P2, P3 4/27/2015 Khadra Ali | P1 – Outline the functions of the main cell components The human body is made up of millions of tiny cells that can only be seen under a microscope, cell also vary in shape and size. Cells are the basic structural of all living things. The human body is poised of trillions of cells. They give structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of them. Cells all have different sizes, shapes, and jobs to do. Each cell has a different function. The actual definition of cells is the smallest structural unit of the body that is capable of independent functioning, it consisting of one or more nuclei; it has a cytoplasm, and various organelles which are all surrounded by a cell membrane. There are four main parts to a cell; Plasma/Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Nucleus and Cell Organelles. Plasma/Cell membrane: The plasma/cell membrane is a phospho-lipid-protein bi-layer; the lipids are small fatty molecules in two layers (bi-layer) with larger protein molecules inserted at intervals partly or completely through the bi-layer. The lipid molecules are phospholipids, the two lipid chains are insoluble in water and the phosphate head is water soluble. The fluid which surrounds the cells and the cytoplasm are watery environments next to the phosphate heads. Protein molecules create channels...

...------------------------------------------------- Overview[edit] Nutritional science investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to diet. With advances in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, the study of nutrition is increasingly concerned with metabolism and metabolic pathways: the sequences of biochemical steps through which substances in living things change from one form to another. The human body contains chemical compounds, such as water, carbohydrates (sugar, starch, and fiber), amino acids (in proteins), fatty acids (in lipids), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). These compounds in turn consist of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and so on. All of these chemical compounds and elements occur in various forms and combinations (e.g. hormones, vitamins, phospholipids, hydroxyapatite), both in the human body and in the plant and animal organisms that humans eat. The human body consists of elements and compounds ingested, digested, absorbed, and circulated through the bloodstream to feed the cells of the body. Except in the unborn fetus, the digestive system is the first system involved in obtaining nutrition. In a typical adult, about seven liters of digestive juices enter the digestive tract.[citation needed] These break chemical bonds in ingested molecules, and modulate their conformations and energy states. Though some molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream unchanged, digestive processes...

...conscious individuals. The strategy and target market also reflects the overall philosophy and motto of the company. Inspiration: Over the last half of a century, American diets have evolved from the convenience and ubiquitous access to cheap junk food making poor diets choices the easiest to make. As a consequence, cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and digestive diseases have risen. Processed and nutrient-void foods have been implicated the cause of certain disease however adopting a healthy diet is widely accepted and proven to prevent and/or reduce the prevalence and morbidity of disease. Our current society is crying for ease and sadly has made unhealthy lifestyle choices even more easier. Paradoxically, public awareness of healthy lifestyles have too increased but the link between ease and health, especially within the fast food industry is missing. Our model will demonstrate that a healthy diet can be built into our quick paced diverse society and offer well prepared, interesting and tasteful foods. Slogan/Motto: The way it should be: food’s intent without compromise. It is not fast food, but good food made fast. Overview of the Company: In A Minute will differentiate from competitive companies by providing foods that are as easy, accessible & convenient as other fast food restaurants but without compromising healthy eating or a competitive price. The restaurant will offer both curb side pick-up and inside dining service. All menu items...

...Clinical Notes The Visible Human Project p. 7 Homeostasis and Disease p. 13 An Introduction to Studying the Human Body This textbook will serve as an introduction to the inner workings of your body, providing information about both its structure and its function. Many of the students who use this book are preparing for careers in health-related fields—but regardless of your career choice, you will find the information within these pages relevant to your future. You do, after all, live in a human body! Being human, you most likely have a seemingly insatiable curiosity—and few subjects arouse so much curiosity as our own bodies. The study of anatomy and physiology will provide answers to many questions regarding the functioning of your body in both health and disease. Although we will be focusing on the human body, the principles we will learn apply to other living things as well. Our world contains an enormous diversity of living organisms that vary widely in appearance and lifestyle. One aim of biology—the science of life—is to discover the unity and the patterns that underlie this diversity, and thereby shed light on what we have in common with other living things. Animals can be classified according to their shared characteristics, and birds, fish, and humans are members of a group called the vertebrates, characterized by a segmented vertebral column. The shared characteristics and organizational patterns provide useful clues about how these animals have evolved over time...

...Bodily Systems and the Spatial-Functional Structure of the Human Body Barry Smith, PhD1,2, Igor Papakin1, Katherine Munn1 1Institute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information Science Faculty of Medicine, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany 2Department of Philosophy, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA Abstract. The human body as conceived by medical science is a system made of systems. The body is divided into bodily systems proper, such as the endocrine and circulatory systems. These are subdivded into many subsystems at a variety of levels whereby all systems and subsystems engage in massive causal interaction with other systems and subsystems. In this essay we offer an explicit definition of bodily system, and explicit means for understanding these causal interactions. Whereas informality is acceptable in documentation created for human beings, it falls short of what is needed for computer representations. In our analysis we will define bodily system, and will take some first steps toward understanding the causal relationships bodily systems have with their subsystems. 1. Introduction Ontology plays an increasingly significant role in work on terminology and knowledge management systems in the domain of biomedical informatics, and we hold that it will play an essential role in biomedical research of the future. The term ‘ontology’ must, however, be understood in the right way [1]. The dominant paradigm might be referred to as ‘applications...

...Health Promotion of the Family: The Holistic View Gordon developed the 11 functional health patterns to assist in holistic assessment of the family. (Edeleman, Kudzma, & Mandle, 2014)The functional health pattern format assists nurses in assessment of the family, which lends to development of wellness and family nursing diagnoses. An analysis of the family health assessment made through the use of the functional health pattern framework provided the writer with a holistic overview on the health status of this one particular family. The patterns assessed were: values, health perception, nutrition, sleep/rest, elimination, activity/exercise, cognitive, sensory-perception, self-perception, role relationship, sexuality and coping. Overall the assessed family strives to maintain optimal health by many proactive activities yet there are a few dysfunctional patterns that have the potential to minimize their ultimate health status. The assessed family was queried about their overall health using the aforementioned patterns. The writer deemed it important to assess their cognitive and sensory-perception patterns foremost in the assessment. The writer first assessed each family member’s level of education. The male family member reported to have a “bachelors degree” and the female family member reported to have a “masters degree.” The family was assessed as to how they preferred to gain information about health as to which they reported use of the Internet and research.
