Let"s get straight to the heart of the matter--the heart"s job is to move blood. Day and night, the muscles of your heart contract and relax to pump blood throughout your body. When blood returns to the heart, it follows a complicated pathway. If you were in the bloodstream, you would follow the steps below one by one. Oxygen-poor blood shown in blue flows from the body into the right atrium. Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste...
the problem. Surgery may also be helpful in correcting congenital heart defects that can lead to heart failure. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery and catheterization using a balloon to flatten fatty deposits called angioplasty are among the therarpeutic techniques used to prevent and treat heart failure caused by occluded, or blocked, arteries.

Heart transplants are a last resort in treating severe heart failure caused by diseased heart muscle. Although the success rate of heart transplants has significantly improved, the cost of the operation and shortage of donor organs makes it impractical except as a last resort.
Enzymes are simply protein molecules; they are not living organisms. It is therefore wrong to say that they are killed by heating. Enzyme function is dependent on the specific configuration of the enzyme molecule which is mainly maintained by relatively weak bondings such as ionic, hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds. Heating...

Introduction Osmosis is defined as the diffusion of water molecules, down a water potential gradient, across a partially permeable membrane. If the solutions on each side of the partially permeable membrane are equally concentrated then there will be no net movement of water across the membrane. If the solution...

I will measure the volume of gas produced as the catalase in the potato tissue reacts with the hydrogen peroxide to create water and oxygen. I will change the temperature at which the reaction takes place, but to make the test a fair one I will keep the pH level...

The American Cancer Society estimates that 18,300 Americans will be diagnosed with malignant brain, spinal cord and other nervous system tumors in 2003. Approximately 13,100 people in the United States will die from brain, spinal cord, and other nervous system tumors in 2003. Brain and spinal cord tumors occur most...
