Elucidate the Physiological adaptations of the female to pregnancy?
Pregnancy female physiological process in the body when the female ovum meets the sperm. There will be physiological adaptation in the female pregnancy.
The musculoskeletal system has a various physiological adaptation in the body due to the various hormonal changes in the body. The posture changes due to protruded abdomen, the abdominal muscles are stretched and the lumbar have a lordotic curvature. The upper and lower crossed syndrome happens in the neck and hip. The relaxin hormone leads to joint laxity in the body joints.
The cardiovascular system the heart rate increases, the cardiac output increases, the stroke volume increases due to the increased capillaries and arteries over the uterus.
The respiratory system the breath rate increases due to increase oxygen requirement of the body and the lung volume decreases due ro protrusion of abdomen.
The urinary system leads to increase the frequent of urination due to the abdominal protrusion the urinary bladder is compressed by the uterus enlargement and in early pregnancy the urine contains HCG hormone takes place.
The gastrointestinal system leads to vomiting, nausea due to the HCG hormone peak.
The central nervous system due to hormonal balances the maternal women have mood swings, irritation, anxiety.
List and discuss 5 physiological, morphological, or behavioral adaptations that allow reptiles to regulate their body temperature?
2. Describe and explain the major physiological changes / adaptations that occur during a 20 week cv training program.
• Describe five physiological changes that normally occur during pregnancy that would be considered abnormal if they did not occur during pregnancy. • Define critical periods of growth and development and identify potential consequences of inadequate energy and nutrient availability during these periods on future health status.
Give two realistic examples each of behavioral and physiological adaptations a species could use to better compete with a rival species. Give the type of competition the following two examples represent and explain why. Two different hyena species are competing with each other for more time feeding at the newly killed carcass. -Lions eating gazelles that are then unable to be eaten by hyenas. Response must be between 2-3 paragraphs.
1. A major goal in macroevolution is to elucidate the causes of phenotypic trends. Describe at least one type of phenotypic pattern examined in the fossil record (note: this could be some pattern related to the average morphology over time or the variation over time). 2. The neo-Darwinian paradigm is often described as having three pillars: 1: natural selection operates at the individual level, 2: natural selection is the creative force in evolution (generates adaptations), 3: microevolution + time results...
Name two physiological changes that occur in the muscle due to exercise training which allow an individual to improve their fitness (VO2max)? Why do these changes result in a change in overall fitness? Does max HR change with training? Are there any cardiac adaptations to long-term exercise training?
3. Beth (age 18) is experiencing her first pregnancy and is now 24 weeks gestation.She tells you that she is “amazed by the changes that have happened to my body already.”Beth wants to understand what additional changes are going to occur to her “besides just getting a really huge belly.”Additionally, Beth relates to you that she is in her senior year of high school, is no longer involved with the baby’s father, and lives at home with her mother and...
