Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Externality takes place when action of one agent exerts direct impact on welfare of other agent, and this impact is not transferred by market prices. When there are externalities in the market, the social marginal cost is not equal to private marginal cost. Positive externalities compel market to produce less than the socially desirable quantity (Gans, King & Mankiw, 2011). Positive externalities are present in the economy when marginal social benefits are greater than marginal private benefits (Cypher, 2014). There are, however, several examples of economic activities that pave the way to production of positive externalities such as:

Law breakers are held as they wait for their trials thus exerting more pressure on the already congested prison facilities. Whereas the correction facilities are important part of the judicial system, the cost implications are and in some cases exceed the benefits that are reaped from them. Incarnation is preferred as the main form of punishment for the law breakers. The system has been in place since time in ...

1. The social construct of feeling, gender and humor are associated with the presentation of the self. In a society, there are many people who give importance to the thinking of others. It is however, natural for individuals to desire for making an impression on others.

The gender roles also play their role, and exert their influence on how individuals present themselves (Blundell, McNeil & Griffiths, 2003). It is because of the fact that gender also indicates the actions being male and ...

Cortisol is a steroid hormone synthesized in adrenal glands with a myriad of functions mainly in the endocrine and immune systems, and produced during stress circumstances. Under normal conditions, stimuli such as a pathogen release immune proteins called interleukins, which further activate T-lymphocyte cells. T-cells multiply to amplify the immune response and ultimately attack the pathogen (Abbas, 2014). Other immune responses are simultaneously activated, e.g. the complement system. The complement system exerts its functions through three pathways: classical, alternative or lectin pathways. The main activators of the classical pathway are antigen-antibody complexes, which trigger a series of events mainly mediated by complement proteins ...

Introduction

Implicit leadership theory refers to qualities considered as specific and suited for leadership, qualities that contribute to shaping the image of a person as leader (Schyns & Meindl 21). Considering, however, that there are various types of leadership, such as autocratic, bureaucratic, charismatic, democratic, participative, laissez-faire, people-oriented, servant, task-oriented, transactional, transformational or abusive (Bansal, et al. 188), the implicit theory of leadership shapes on the features of each leadership style. William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” implicitly delineates several leadership styles, visible in the characters’ development, decision-making and in their attitude in different situations. Implicit theories of leadership are entrenched in most ...

Experiment 6

Introduction: Newton’s laws of motion are very fundamental topic in physics. Motions of a body and force acting on the body to create motion are justified by these laws. In this experiment property of spring is also discussed. Spring is an interesting device which is widely used in daily life. In physics or any experiment related to physics, spring is utilized for its property of storing elastic potential energy.

Objective:

Purpose of this experiment is to be familiar with Newton’s laws of motion. Theory: Newton’s second law states that the vector sum of all individual ...

The price that is paid for poverty does not just affect the poor, it affects are paid for by the society in which that poverty exists.

Rowling’s classics “The Harry Potter Series,” looks at the ways in which power corrupts the minds of individuals in the society. Similarly, the series looks at the ways in which individuals use power for good and shows that power does not corrupt everyone but also has a positive impact on the way individuals behave in different spheres. Lord Voldemort is the antagonist in the story and he shows that the desire for powers destroys good intentions. The need for power in “The Half-Blood Prince” and “The Deathly Hallows” leads to a number of deaths of innocent individuals. Harry Potter, the ...

Gravity is precisely defined as a pulling force; it pulls objects (matter) towards it. The intensity of force is directly proportional to the quantity of matter, so the things composed of more matter tend to be pulled with greater intensity of force. The mass of any object is the fundamental unit being used to measure the quantity of matter it that object. Therefore, the more heavy and matter in the object is, the higher gravitational pull will it put forth. Earth exerts a pulling force on the objects (Human beings) that move on its surface and as a result it pulls them ...

Working in a human service organization, Joe knows that his job implies following precise guidelines and procedures, which influence his ethical decision-makings.

Social disorganization indicates the failure of a social institution or the social organization such as schools, real estate, business, policing, and the group networking in certain neighborhoods or communities. Social disorganization, however, has its origin in ecology, which is the study of the relations between the environment and organism. In criminology, the social disorganization is considered as the perspective as well as the theory, but ecology is considered as an approach or the school. The social disorganization theory has, however, emerged from the research that is conducted by Shaw and Mckay in Chicago. They have discovered that the crime ...

Abstract

Bones are formed through a process known as osteogenesis from three different lineages. This process takes place through two different methods, which are intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification. A large increment in bone mass takes place in childhood, as well as puberty, through the formation of endochondral bone. At this point, growth hormones are known to play a role. This paper will focus on the process of cartilage and bone formation and the stimulation of bone formation by the growth hormone. There are a number of factors that regulate the formation of bone, while growth hormone affects a number of factors related to ...

Abstract

The universe contains 100 billion galaxies. Each of these galaxies has billions of stars, great gas and dust clouds with others having scads of moons and planets. The stars release an abundance of energy either from radio waves, X-rays or from other forms of energy that run at a speed of light across the universe. However, all that can be seen is like the tip of the cosmic iceberg and accounts for a small portion of the total energy and mass in the universe. About one-quarter portion of the universe is made up of dark matter that does not release any ...
