Question being investigated

This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that there is no close-paralleling of the raised rate of metabolism arising from contraction of muscles by hyperpnea, and thus arterial 02, pH, and C02 do not remain comparatively constant all through most of the moderate exercise range (Carli, et al., 1967). The alternative hypothesis was that a feed-forward mechanism is responsible for hyperpnea.

Importance of the question/publication

There is still uncertainty on the mechanism resulting in raised ventilation or hyperpnea, in the course of an exercise in spite of over a century of research, hypothesis, as well as debate. Due to the close link ...

Is evolution Phycology really value free?

While most people may be familiar with the evolution of species, few individuals may not know the new branch of physiology, which is known as evolutionary physiology (EP). Evolutionary biology deals with adaptation of physical parts such as limbs, tail, and organs. On one hand, evolutionary physiology deals with the evolution of human thought, behavior, and language. The subject has been faced by severe critics where people against EP believe that it has no value but entirely relies on social and cultural behaviors of human. The author of this paper champions that, EP, unlike to the biological evolution; rely ...

Introduction:

Living organisms are equipped with robust machinery for executing a myriad of tasks to meet the day to day biological challenges. This machinery in turn relies on one or more interconnected pathways or networks composed of nucleic acid, proteins and other essential constituents. To say, it is the precise function of these components which determines the physiological well being organisms. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinases is one such known component that performs diverse physiological roles through its associations with the molecular machinery.
mTOR is a protein that responds to metabolism and ageing, intercellular stress to growth regulation, growth factors ...

Comfort food has been described as those food preferences developed during childhood which evoke pleasant memories in adults (Stein 412). Stein in his article explores the reasons behind these comfort food preferences as to how they are developed and what makes them evoke pleasant memories. According to the article, often either physiological or psychological needs are at play when an individual craves for a specific food. Certain food, when eaten, releases trace amounts of mood elevating opiates. Physiology comes into play here. Similarly, psychology also affects our food choices. Childhood experiences play a vital role in determining an individual’ ...

Article Review: Your cells are my cells

Article Review: Your cells are my cells ---- Cell transfer during pregnancy
Introduction
The author‘s intention seems to be a desire of revealing information from research studies regarding how cells in the human body are transferred between mother and fetus. Scientists are now becoming aware that cells do mutate and continue reproducing themselves long after they were expected to die. Traditional scientific discoveries revealed that cells are transferred from mother to fetus indicative of a one way flow of traffic. However, it was discerned to be a two way stream whereby cells from male infants are transferred to their ...
