environmental factors in disease. It is used to determine the entire DNA sequence of an organisms and a fine scale genetic mapping. The field also includes study of intra genomic phenomena such as Hetrosis, Epistasis, Pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome. 2.History: The term genome was introduced by H. Winkler in 1920 to denote the complete set of chromosomal and extra chromosomal genes present in an organism

energy can be found in is through light, kinetic, thermal (heat), sound and chemical. These types of energy are categorised into two which are potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in between the bonds of the atoms and the molecules. They are in between the molecules. Energy comes into our body from all the fats, carbohydrates and proteins that we all consume in through our body. Also for those who drink alcohol on a daily basis, they gain their energy through the alcohol

Milestone 2 Organ System Interrelationship and Disease Assessment David Norton BIO 210 Professor Price The Interactions between the Circulatory system and the Respiratory systems are: • Oxygen is an essential part of the metabolic process of nearly all cells in the human body. Oxygen is gathered through the respiratory system and transported through the body via the blood and circulatory system. • The circulatory and respiratory system work together to eliminate waste product carbon dioxide •

of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes. Air quality in developed countries has been generally improved over the last three decades. However, many recent epidemiological studies have consistently shown positive associations between low-level exposure to air pollution and health outcomes. Thus, adverse health effects of air pollution, even at relatively low levels, remain a public concern. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research development and contemporary

machinery. It is made up of many different systems that work together to allow us to take part in a wide range of sports and everyday activities. It is important that anyone working with clients in the sport and exercise industry has a good understanding of how each of these systems works and copes with the stresses of exercise. This unit will explore the structure and the functions of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how each of them is affected by exercise

Epidemiology by definition is the study of the distribution and patterns of health-events, health- characteristics and their causes or influences in well-defined populations. It is the cornerstone method of public health research, and helps inform policy decisions and evidence-based by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine. Epidemiologists are involved in the design of studies, collection and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination

will evaluate evidence from studies which suggests that biological psychology makes a major contribution to our understanding of human emotion. It will, however, acknowledge that there are limitations to the biological aspect of emotion, and that interaction with other areas of psychology including evolutionary, developmental, cognitive and social must also be considered. Finally, it will include ways in which this knowledge can be applied. Watson (1924, cited in Plutchik 1994, p 3) suggests ‘An
