antagonistic pair is in the arm. The bicep muscle contracts when the arm is lifted, pulling the bone up while the tricep muscle relaxes. However when the arm is lowered, the bicep muscles relaxes and the tricep muscle contracts, pulling the bone down. The muscle that contracts is known as the agonist, it provides a force which completes the movement so when the arm is lifted, the bicep is the agonist but when the arm is lowered, the tricep

I stared at my computer screen, hurrying to finish all that night’s assignments before I had to leave to meet Trent, the “it” guy of the school. Today he approached me, out of the ordinary for him or anyone for that matter, and told me to hang out with him and his friends at his house. I scurried out the front door of the duplex, past my bitter, hissing cat, and quickly shouted “bye” to my mom. I started past my neighbors’ houses and saw Owen sitting in his tree, writing in his journal. I could

I could feel their eyes on me and I could hear the faint whisper and strolled by.” How could she have won?” Once I’m on the platform they hand me the trophy. It reads ‘KEREN ASGODOM 1ST PLACE POETRY’ and suddenly my team stood up, hollered, and clapping, and soon the entire auditorium was giving me a standing ovation. I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. My heart is beating a million miles per minute. That when I realized something. My pain could

Cardiomyopathy is when there is an enlargement of the heart. This can cause various problems for the person who carries this heart disease. Cardiomyopathy refers to the heart muscle when it is enlarged, thick muscle walls or rigid. In rare cases the heart muscle tissue can be replaced by scar tissue which may lead to fatal consequences.

Systolic pressure is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart is beating. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.

isn’t one moral philosophy that I can choose. All different divisions coincide with one another. Take the ever-controversial topic of abortion, for instance. According to metaethics, abortion stops a beating heart. Through conceptual ethics, we ask if stopping that beating heart is right, if it does any good, if it’s responsible, or if it is performed under obligation. Then, normative ethics come into play. In our society, one’s morals take hold of their conscience and

By-Pass Surgery Introduction "In 2006, more than 690,000 open heart surgeries were performed in the United States. These included surgeries to correct and repair defective valves as well as coronary artery bypass surgery. As recently as 70 years ago, these surgeries would have been impossible.
