potentially fatal disease that is rooted throughout all of human history. It is caused by a bacterium that can be contracted in a number of ways. While the human interaction and symptoms are not caused directly by the bacterium affecting human tissue as with normal bacterial infections. Instead, the symptoms common with the infection are caused by a reaction to a neurotoxin called Tetanospasmin (Wells). The symptoms of this toxin on the body are a result of the toxin binding to inhibitory neurons

The Human Brain: How does the brain work? The brain is the center of the human nervous system. The average size of an adult brain is 5.5 inches in width, 3.6 inches in height, and 6.5 in inches length. The human brain is composed of 78% water, 12% lipids, and the other 10% consists of protein, carbohydrates, insoluble salts, and soluble organics. The human brain performs a number of tasks of coordination, control, and regulation. • The brain controls the body temperature, heart

Prokaryotes are unicellular microorganisms without a nucleus; they are divided into two groups’ Eubacteria and Archaebacteria. These microorganisms are very small and invisible and are known as the most dominant species on the earth’s biosphere as they are found almost everywhere on earth, they are predominately, found in our body’s immune system, and they are mainly responsible for the decomposition

Name: Amy Meagher Student ID: 12148725 Date: 19/02/16 Lab 3: The Effect of Exercise on the Human Cardiovascular System Introduction: During exercise there is an increased demand for energy. The metabolic processes involved in the production of ATP require oxygen. As a result there is an increase in oxygen consumption and an increase in the production of carbon dioxide as a waste product. As the body produces more carbon dioxide there is a greater need to expel this excess carbon dioxide. In
