proves quite dangerous to human health. The common rattlesnake venom is made up of combinations of proteins that range from hemotoxins, which separates cells and tissues, to neurotoxins and anticoagulants that might cause respiratory paralysis or arrest of the circulatory system. Rattlesnake venom has good uses too, we use it to better understand the toxins within it and make anti-venoms for it. The complex toxin in rattlesnake venom goes to work fast, showing its presence quickly but which

this assignment I am going to be outlining all the gross structures of the main body systems and I would also be saying what the system is made out of with a diagram. Main body system • Skeletal System • Muscular System • Nervous system • Respiratory system • Digestive System • Male Reproductive System • Female Reproductive system • Cardiovascular system • Urinary system • Endocrine system 1. Skeletal system The skeletal system is muscle that is connected to the skeletal to

903); the sinoatrial (SA) node (pace maker) (page 904); vasoconstriction, vasodilation (page 907); hemoglobin (page 911, also 924), heart attack, stroke, hypertension, etherosclerosis (pages 913-915). 1. Distinguish between a) open and closed circulatory systems; b) single and double circulation; c) pulmonary and systemic circuits (Pages 889-901). 2. Coordinated cycles of heart contraction drive double circulation in mammals. De-oxygenated blood from the body enters the heart, which is then

type of car releases these pollutants.. So what does this pollutant cause? Pollution can actually make pre-existing illnesses worse. A main ingredient in smog, ground level-ozone, is dangerous to inhale because it can cause lung damage and upper respiratory problems. This ingredient is made from hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide function with light from the sun and warm weather that creates this ground level-ozone. A car releases emission even if it is standing still (Motor Vehicle Pollution) The

The body is composed of 11 major organ systems.The circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous, endocrine, immune, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and reproductive systems. Though all other body systems are designed to do their own specific tasks, only one is responsible for the functioning of all other systems that are throughout the body . The nervous system is that system.The nervous system is made from two main parts. The central nervous system, that’s made up of the brain

sometimes referred to as reticular activating system. However, this term can be misleading because the nuclei of the reticular formation are involved sleep, attention, movement, the maintenance of muscle tone, and various cardiac, circulatory, and respiratory reflexes. Metencephalon The Metencephalon is much like the Myelencephalon as they both house many ascending and descending tracts and forms part of the reticular formation. These structures create buldges which are referred

Many of Descartes peers who were also contemporaries disagreed with this ethical standpoint on how to treat animals. John Locke, an English physician, philosopher, and contemporary, openly disagreed and stated that humans should not conduct these painful biomedical experiments on animals, and that animals contain some human-like characteristics and are capable of feeling pain. Locke believed that conducting these harmful experiments and mistreating animals could potentially lead to a path of also

anatomy and physiology, 8th ed. The Circulatory System is the main transportation and cooling system for the body. The Red Blood Cells act like billions of little UPS trucks carrying all sorts of packages that are needed by all the cells in the body. Instead of UPS, I'll call them RBC's. RBC's carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to remain alive. Besides RBC's, there are also White Blood Cells moving in the circulatory system traffic. White Blood Cells are

increase for 24-48 hours post injury, so close pulmonary assessment is pertinent. Asses initially for need of intubation with mechanical ventilation, continuous O2 saturation monitoring, pulmonary toilet, and CXR. Careful assessment in the order of respiratory distress and airway obstruction is essential. Assess for deep facial and neck burns, stridor, accessory muscle use, hypoxia, blistering/edema to the oropharyngeal airway, continuous ABG assessment in the order of intubation and mechanical ventilation
