Jennifer Ingrum 02/01/11 The Central Nervous System or (CNS) is located in the center portion of the body as its name implies. The (CNS) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. Our brain is in control of many very important body functions and sensations like these for example: sleep‚ muscle movement‚ memory‚ sexual activity‚ emotions‚ hunger and thirst. Our spinal cord extends several types of nerve fibers from the brain acts like a switching and relay terminal for the peripheral nervous

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that studies fluids (liquids‚ gases‚ and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into 1) fluid statics‚ the study of fluids at rest; 2) fluid kinematics‚ the study of fluids in motion; 3) fluid dynamics‚ the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid Mechanics Overview Fluid is a substance that is capable of flowing. It has no definite shape of its own. It assumes the shape of its container. Liquids and gases are

FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally

Quantum mechanics is one of the major revolutions in 20th century Physics. It is probably the closest science has come to a fundamental description of the underlying nature of reality. And yet it is totally bizarre—it flies in the face of all our intuition and common sense. It sounds more like science fiction‚ or a poorly written fantasy‚ than notions which serious scientists would entertain. In this paper‚ we attempt to explain some of these fantastic notions for the layman. This paper comes with

A Literary Analysis of “Popular Mechanics” In the short story‚ “Popular Mechanics”‚ Raymond Carver blends a variety of literary elements which amplify the tone. The tone is both threatening and somber‚ switching back and forth until finally fusing together in the final paragraphs. Syntax plays perhaps the most significant role in the flow of the story. The syntax is particularly interesting because the conversation between the two main characters has absolutely no quotation marks. The lack

Emily Chuang Mechanics of Swimming The crawl‚ also known as freestyle‚ is often regarded as the fastest swimming style. The legs perform a fluttering movement called the flutter kick to propel the body from behind while the elbows take turns moving in a semicircle movement in the swimming direction. One arm relaxes while the other is driven forward. The head is to be kept down in the water when not breathing. To breathe‚ the head turns sideways out of the water and air is to be taken in by the mouth
