Meteorologist Meteorologists, also known as atmospheric scientists, are experts on the atmosphere, weather, and climate. Meteorologists study the aforementioned categories and how they will affect not only the Earth, but human beings as well. Compiling and collecting data, developing forecasts, and understanding weather patterns are part of a meteorologist’s duties. Furthermore, meteorologists may invent new instruments to collect weather pattern or climate data, while consulting clients on the

Hyperprolinemia is a disorder which can be passed on from generation to generation and is caused by an irregularity of proline metabolism. Some problems included are: seizures and psychotic disorders. There are two causes for this disorder, hyperprolinemia I, which is lacking proline oxidase which is part of the power house molecule, the mitochondria. Hyperprolinemia II, is the absence of pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid dehydrogenase activity, both defects can cause an accumulation of proline in the

Looking gaunt and sickly, Conor McGregor, current (Ultimate Fighting Championship) UFC champion, walks up on stage in hopes of weighing in at 145 pounds; however, just days before the weigh-in, McGregor was weighing as much as 175 pounds. As he steps on the scale, the number fluctuates on the digital screen. It finally reads 145 pounds as the crowd roars at a deafening pitch. A fighter like McGregor puts a lot effort in cutting down his weight before a weigh-in and immediately gains all the weight

High blood pressure or hypertension is a common issue. In fact, about 67 million Americans deal with high blood pressure. The blood is vital for life. It circulates through the arteries and veins. The blood supplies crucial nutrients and oxygen to all the cells and organs and removes waste and carbon dioxide. The pressure created when the heart beats, which stimulates the blood flow is blood pressure. The first force is created by the heart pumping blood out into the arteries, and the second occurs

Pathophysiology Blood normally flows silently through the heart, however there are conditions that can create a turbulent blood flow. Conditions that contribute to turbulent blow flow include increased blood velocity, structural valve defect, valve malfunctions, and abnormal chamber opening (Potter, Perry, Hall, & Stockert, 2013). Hypertension is a condition that can cause increased blood flow throughout the heart is. Hypertension is associated with thickening and loss of elasticity in the arterial

Clinical treatments of muscular diseases differ from case to case which includes medication testing that works on alleviating the diseases' symptoms. Myopathies' treatment relies on upon its cause (Gupta, 2014). The objectives of myopathy treatment are to abate the development of the disease and alleviate symptoms. Muscular and inflammatory dystrophies' treatments range from treatments using drugs to bypassing circumstances which makes muscles make a lot of effort for metabolic myopathies. Doctors

Introduction: In this activity each group has a member record their electrical activity of the heart with electrodes. The electrodes will be put on three different locations on the body, the right anterior forearm at the wrist, and on the medial surface of each leg, superior to the ankle. Since the electrodes will not be placed directly over the heart artifacts can result from the recording of unwanted skeletal activity. Therefore the member has to be still, cannot laugh or talk, and when in the

that dynamic exercise will increase heart rate, systolic pressure, pulse pressure, but decreases diastolic pressure due to vasodilation of the aorta, and the mean arterial will remain the same. The figures illustrate the effect of exercise for instance figure 1, 3 ,4, and 5 shows an increase in systolic pressure, pulse pressure, heart rate and mean arterial pressure compared to at rest, whereas figure 2 shows a decrease in diastolic pressure due to peripheral vasodilation, which facilitates blood

Discussion: The purpose of this experiment was to determine how various drugs will affect basal heart rate of daphnia. This is relevant because due to Daphnia’s similar cardiac tissues to humans (Woodham et al., 2017), it can be seen how various drugs will affect human cardiac tissue. Acetylcholine and Lidocaine have been hypothesized to decrease heart rate in Daphnia. Epinephrine and Caffeine are proposed to increase heart rate. In regards to Acetylcholine and Lidocaine, it was hypothesized

Physical Examination/Objective Data: Musculoskeletal Temporomandibular joint: On inspection of mandible, no audible snap or click occurred, or any swelling, like round bulge over the joint. When the client opened his mouth maximally, vertical motion observed, with length of space about 5 cm between the upper and lower incisors. When the client partially opened his mouth and had lower jaw to protrude, moving side-to-side about 1.5 cm, and observed lower jaw protruding without any deviation. When the
