Chronic Disease Risk Assessment Jerrod H. Hasenbank Sci 162 March 23, 2014 Debra Santi Chronic Disease Risk Assessment The Chronic Disease Risk Assessment I took was for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease that affects only men usually above 50 years of age. About one in five men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, making it the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. The prostate is a gland that is part of the male reproductive system. The gland is

Plate Tectonics SCI/245 January 13, 2010 Aimee Pellet Plate Tectonics One of the first scientists to theorize plate tectonics was Alfred Wegener. Alfred Wegener was a German scientist that lived from 1880-1930. He proposed that the continents shifted as time has gone by. “Wegener found that large-scale geological features on separated continents often matched very closely when the continents were brought together. For example, the Appalachian mountains of eastern North America

Physiology Assignment week 7 Debbie Hobbs SCI 230 January 11, 2013 Fish have a very unique anatomy and physiology so that they can thrive in underwater environments. Fish have a closed circulatory system, in a fish blood flows from the heart, to the gills, to the body and back. Gills are comparable to the lungs of humans but the way they take in oxygen is very different. Water flows over the gills and the gills absorb dissolved oxygen. Fish sense their environment in a number of different ways
