The canine estrous (reproductive) cycle is made up of 4 different stages. These areproestrus, estrus, diestrus, and anestrus. Each stage has differing signs related to behavior, physical or clinical changes, hormonal changes, physiologic changes, and cytologic (vaginal smear) changes. What is the...
Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the liver produces small organic molecules called ketone bodies at “sufficient” levels.
We will argue that within the mutuality of animal and surround, agency applies only to the animal and is, therefore, asymmetric with surround in the “organism–environment system,” rather than emerging in a symmetrical way from such a system, as is argued by others (e.g., Malfouris2013;...
Chemokine receptors belong to the class A of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are implicated in a wide variety of physiologic functions, mostly related to the homeostasis of the immune system. Chemokine receptors are also involved in multiple pathologic processes, including immune and autoimm...
What is the term that is associated with an irregular heartbeat? Atrial Natriuretic Factor is released to adjust blood pressure. Which organ releases this hormone? What hormone is affected by elevated blood renin levels? Peripheral vasodilating drugs may cause ___, a physiologic increase in the ...
This is particularly important consider- ing that a subject's mental state may change on time scales of minutes to even seconds while physiologic and metabolic changes can occur on the order of minutes in some disease conditions, such as acute ischemic stroke or migraine. Likewise, similar rapid...
What is TSS?TSS is an estimate of the training load created by a workout based on intensity and duration.1 TSS is calculated by using both IF (intensity factor) and time, to determine how “hard” a training session was based on the magnitude of the physiologic adaptations to training. ...
Moreover, a registered dietitian is needed to design a nutrition intervention tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each patient in a way that the individual is likely to follow. Regular physical activity is also essential; aerobic exercises such as swimming, cycling, brisk walking, ...
What is a secondary metabolite? Why do plants make these compounds? What are primary, secondary, and tertiary health care? What services are typically provided at each of these levels? What does follicular activity mean? What does imbibition have to do with seed germination?
a. What are the physiologic implications of the Pompe disease? b. What is abnormal about the physiology of people with this disease? What are the functions of the digestive system? How does the stomach perform mechanical digestion? What is the second layer of the Gastrointestinal tract? ...
