Janet is 22, and college student that recently moved out onto her own. She works part time and pays all her own bills. She has been vegan for about 8 months, and likes to go jogging 2-3 times per week. Because of limited finances, she often eats ramen, apples, carrots, whatever bread or pasta is on sale. She avoids going out to eat, and mostly packs her own lunch. She doesn’t usually eat breakfast, and often forgets to drink water during the day, and wonders if this is why she feels fatigued most days. She likes to have friends over to her new place, they often bring drinks, but she never drinks more than 1-2, and she doesn’t think it’s affecting her sleep.

  • What might be causing her fatigue? Think of 3 possibilities.
  • Did you consider anemia as a possible problem? Consider the possible causes and risk factors for three major types of anemia, could she potentially have one of these? How would anemia be diagnosed?
  • What suggestions could you give her in terms of diet changes to correct nutritional deficiencies she may have?

summary explaining how chemical signals from the endocrine system drive development of the reproductive system in both sexes. Your summary should include a comparison of this process among males and females. Your summary should be well organized, and should make sense to somebody who doesn’t have the guiding questions in front of them.

In your summary you should address the following questions: What hormones are involved in this process? What cells do these hormones interact with? What effect do the identified hormones have? What additional actions might these hormones have within the body (apart from the reproductive system)?

The Red Cross slogan for blood drive is “Blood Saves Lives”. This is true but there are several hazards that attend blood donation. Current trend is that a patient should be transfused only with the faction of blood that is required such as erythrocytes, platelets, clotting factors etc. Sometimes however, whole blood transfusion is needed. Describe one or two conditions in which blood or only a component of blood is transfused. Explain your answer in the light of what you now know in anatomy and physiology.

REWRITE THIS PROCEDURE IN OWN WORDS

Procedure

1.Set clamp A on the boom to approximately the 40 cm position. Weigh the boom (including the clamp and pin) on the triple-beam balance. Record this weight in gwt on the data sheet as w. Balance the boom on a finger and locate its center of gravity. Mark the center of gravity with a pencil, and erase any other markings on the boom

.2.Assemble the crane approximately as shown in Figure 1. A load of 700 to 1200 g should be applied to the weight holder. One end of the spring balance should be directly attached to the hook on clamp C on the vertical pole. The other end of the spring balance should be attached through a string or loop of string to clamp A on the boom. The top of the weight hanger should be below the lower end of the boom. Adjust clamp C until the string between the balance and the boom is accurately horizontal. Hold a plumb line near that string and look for an equality of the four right angles. The boom should make an angle of between 30o and 60o with the horizontal. If it does not, change the length of string between the balance and clamp A on the boom; then readjust clamp C on the vertical pole until that string is again horizontal.

3.Record the load force L in gwt. Remember to include the weight of the weight hanger along with that of the slotted weights.

4.Momentarily release the tension applied to the spring balance by tilting the boom slightly while supporting the balance in its original position with one hand. Take a zero reading to be used for correcting future readings and record the zero reading of the balance on scratch paper; or alternately adjust the balance until it reads zero. Release the boom; and then pull down on it slightly to slightly increase the reading of the balance. Next, slowly release the force applied to the boom and remove your hands from the apparatus. This procedure will cause the frictional force inside the spring balance to have the same direction when the final reading is taken as when the zero reading was taken. Read the force Smeas from the balance and make any required zero corrections on the reading before recording it on the data sheet.the force Smeas from the balance and make any required zero corrections on the reading before recording it on the data sheet.
