Cardiac arrest

In this assignment I will be discussing homeostatic principals and discussing the relationship between homeostasis maintenance specifically physiologic growth and the body and how homeostatic challenges are expressed in the body. Homeostasis refers to metabolic balance maintained by several processes. The human body has several examples of homeostasis. Homeostasis is maintained within the body by a complex series of organs and organ systems, they work together to keep the body functioning correctly

How do growth and maturation affect VO2max? When looking into how growth and maturation affect VO2max there are a number of areas we need to cover: we first need to understand the definition of VO2max, the two ways VO2max can be measured and the difference between growth and maturation before we can finally investigate into how both growth and maturation affect VO2max. VO2max VO2max is the maximum rate of oxygen you can take in and use during exercise and is the typical parameter we look at when

an amazing phenomenon happening in our bodies. There are three different types of muscle tissues, these are the skeletal, smooth and cardiac. The smooth muscle is apart of the involuntary muscle contraction, this type of muscle tissue is important in contracting organs such as our blood vessels, GI tract and also the contraction of bladder. The Cardiac muscles are the muscles of the heart, important for pumping the blood Through out the body and making sure the organs get enough blood

1. Introduction The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most widely used tools for non-invasively assessing the cardiac state of a subject. It is used internationally for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction and arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation [1]. Due to the high mortality rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) it is of paramount importance to optimise the use of the ECG as it detects the presence of CVD. The World Health Organisation estimates this disease will kill approximately

Introduction: The body consists of three different kinds of muscles: skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle, which is the primary focus of this lab, is made up of much smaller muscle fibers. These muscle fibers have smaller units called myofibrils followed by the smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber called the sarcomere. Furthermore, the sarcomere is composed of two filament types- thick filaments, called myosin and thin filaments called actin. In order for muscle contraction

The extensive research provided determines whether simple tasks such as stretches, exercise, or changes in diet or nutrition can be a factor on the regeneration of muscle. More so in athletes than non-athletes, muscle tears are extremely common. Yet, when viewing muscle regeneration, it doesn’t only occur during injuries. Individuals who lift weights constantly tear their muscle, but in a good way. “Lifting heavy weights cause microscopic tears in the muscle. By doing this, it allows the muscle to

From Greys Anatomy’s, Dr.McDreamy stealing the spot light in every surgery to Meet the Parents, Ben Stiller being a male nurse, there are so many negative remarks coming from movies and shows. In many shows it displays a down side to nurses, such as making bad remarks about male nurses, giving the audience the belief that nurses are a back ground prop behind the heroic Physician, and lastly how medical procedures are done. I can’t help but laugh and scream at the TV, when I see someone performing

Assessment of noise environment in cardiac hospital - A case study for an Indian city. (Ahmed & Tembhurkar, 2014) According to Ahmed and Tembhurkar (2014), there is a crucial concern within the hospital environment when it comes to the impact of noise in sensitive areas, especially for cardiac patients. The significance to nursing is made clear when Ahmed and Tembhurker (2014) states that there needs to be a serious effort to control noise in order to reduce the negative impact on patients and staff

The heart is the most complex organ in the human body and without it, the body cannot survive. If the heart does not respond the way its suppose to, it can cause major health altercations or even death. As time has progressed, technology has progressed as well. Scientists have discovered many procedures to help the heart stay in rhythm. Some of the most famous and common procedures discovered are the pacemaker and heart valve replacement. These procedures have become easier over time and are the

The human body consists of 11 organ systems in which each of them carry out specific functions required for our everyday life. Each organ systems are composed of different organs, which are made up of tissues, which are made of cells. The 11 organ systems in our body are: 1. Cardiovascular/Circulatory System (e.g.: Heart, Arteries, Veins) - Transports blood, oxygen, hormones, and nutrients throughout the body 2. Digestive/Excretory System (e.g.: Stomach, Liver, Intestines, Rectum) - Breaks down
