Functions Of The Digestive And Kidney Systems Of The Body
Words: 1808 - Pages: 7.... Chyme is then passes into the small intestine for main absorption and digestion. The pH in the stomach returns to normal and the stretch receptor stop getting stimulated.
#2 You are having severe stomach cramps, the doctor says that you secretin receptors have been blocked. How has this affected your digestive process and what two hormones might be able to alleviate one of the affects.
Secretion inhibits stomach movement, emptying, slows secretion of gastric juices and causes bicarbonate to be dumped in from the pancreas and liver to the small intestine. This neutralizes the acid that is coming in. Since this process does not occur there i .....

Nuclear Energy And The Environment

life support systems. Therefore, we are between two sections in which one is the
section of "resource availability and waste", and the other "the continuity of
life support systems pertinent to survival."
Thus, the environmentalists believe that nuclear energy should not be used
for various reasons. First of all, the waste product, i.e. plutonium, is
extremely radioactive, which may cause the people who are working or living in
or around the area of storage or use, to acquire leukemia and other cancers.
They also show how billions of dollars are spent yearly on safety devices for a
single reactor, and this still doesn't ensure th .....

Earthquakes
Words: 1303 - Pages: 5.... can range from barely noticeable
to catastrophically destructive. Six kinds of shock waves are generated in the
process. Two are classified as body waves—that is, they travel through the
earth's interior—and the other four are surface waves. The waves are further
differentiated by the kinds of motions they impart to rock particles. Primary or
compressional waves (P waves) send particles oscillating back and forth in the
same direction as the waves are traveling, whereas secondary or transverse shear
waves (S waves) impart vibrations perpendicular to their direction of travel. P
waves always travel at higher velocities than S waves, .....

Is There Evidence That Homosexuality Is Biologically Determined?
Words: 884 - Pages: 4.... if there is a gene that influences an individual's sexual
orientation, there is a great possibility of that trait being passed down
from generation to generation. Experiments conducted led to the possible
conclusion that the region Xq28 carries a gene influencing male sexual
orientation. However, there are a few flaws to their interpretation of the
results. Among them are stated in the article. A replication of the
experiment is necessary, the separation of the particular gene has not been
achieved, and the importance of the region has not yet been determined.
Moreover, the supposed gene that influences homosexuality suggests that it .....

Acid Rain
Words: 952 - Pages: 4.... (snow, rain, hail).
Upon returning to the earth, the acidic precipitation can have serious
repercussions on both the environment and as well as human structures. On
average, acid rain is about nine times more acidic than rain water, and has been
recorded as low as 2.5 on the pH scale (forty times more acidic than water.)
Acid deposition kill fish, soil bacteria, and as well as aquatic and terrestrial
plants. the acid also drain the soil of essential nutrients such as aluminum and
releases them into bodies of water such as streams, lakes, and ponds. These
bodies of water develop highly concentrated levels of these nutrients which can
reall .....

Computers That Mimic The Human Mind
Words: 1465 - Pages: 6.... of the human mind and compares them to the most recent technological advances, then it would be obvious that computers and software are beginning to mimic even the most advanced mental states. In the future, computers will be able to do anything the human mind is capable of thus proving Eliminative Materialism to be a sound solution to the mind-body problem.
Most of the day the human mind is taking in information, analyzing it, storing it accordingly, and recalling past knowledge to solve problems logically. This is similar to the life of any computer. Humans gain information through the senses. Computers gain similar informatio .....

The Big Bang
Words: 1282 - Pages: 5.... and the galaxies have continued moving away from each other
ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have observed.
The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in
time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the
future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle
says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large scale, at all times.2
It maintains the same average density of matter forever.
There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang model
is more reasonable than the Steady State model. Fi .....

Experimental Protein

Using the polyacrilamide electrophoresis, proteins were separated based on their molecular weight. Extraction buffer did not produce protein bands. Proteins with huge molecular weight did not travel far from the gel while low molecular weight proteins traveled long distance . Overall banding contrast was compared between same sample with different transferred volumes. The protein bands of ADH were closely related to some of the bands of liver protein extract. ADH, which is derived from hors .....

Factors Of Parasitic Virulence
Words: 2924 - Pages: 11.... modulation of virulence in parasite-host
systems by integrating evolutionary and transmissibility factors.
INTRODUCTION
Why do certain parasites exhibit high levels of virulence within
their host populations while others exhibit low virulence? The two
prime factors most frequently cited (Esch and Fernandez 1993, Toft et
al. 1991) are evolutionary history and mode of transmission.
Incongruently evolved parasite-host associations are characterized by
high virulence, while congruent evolution may result in reduced
virulence (Toft et al. 1991). Parasites transmitted vertically (from
parent to offspring) tend to be le .....

Nasa

Mars Polar will touch down on Mars in December 1999, carrying two softball-size penetrators, the Deep Space 2 mission, that will crash land on Mars some 60 miles north of the landing site. All is going well with ’s Saturn-bound Cassini mission and the Deep Space 1 mission. Cassini will reach Saturn in June 2004 and Deep Space 1 will rendezvous with asteroid 1992KD in July 1999. The Galileo spacecraft at Jupiter went into a safe mode just six hours before its scheduled flyby of Europa on November 21-22, meaning it failed .....
