“Alarm sounds. Firefighter Johnson hears the bell and bolts out of bed. His brain directs the release of adrenaline into his system, making him more alert more quickly.” This is an example the nervous system telling the endocrine system to release adrenaline, a chemical that makes the body more alert. The body is trying to help him complete his task by making his senses sharper because he is in a dangerous situation. “As Johnson wonders what he will find there, his pulse quickens and his breathing gets faster.” This is the brain (nervous) telling the heart(circulatory system ) and lungs( respiratory system) to start producing more oxygen so the body can be agiler and move to a danger. This is the circulatory system and the respiratory system
working together help the body survive in a dangerous situation. This is done by the eyes sees dangerous activity and tell the brain which responded by increasing pulse and breathing. “Johnson will lead the search team up the stairs. He and his team sprint toward the building.” This shows the muscular and skeletal systems working together to make the body move at the nervous systems command. These are examples of Firefighter Johnson using his bodies system to help him save people.
The immense power of a text is gained through the distinctive ideas portrayed within. Through his poetry John Foulcher, Australian poet and teacher, outlines his observations of the environment surrounding him and the conflict within it. These poems include ideas such as the brutality of nature trumping its beauty, as represented in the poems For the Fire and Loch Ard Gorge. As well as how observing nature's savagery can give insight into human mortality, as prominently expressed in Loch Ard Gorge, and lastly the complexity of society compared to the divinity of the natural world, demonstrated in Summer Rain. The distinctive ideas portrayed in these texts create powerful meaning and affect those reading them, allowing others to learn more about
Dropping everything he’s doing Joe quickly runs to the fire poll and proceeds to exits the building, sirens soaring over head, and fire truck engines starting up, he rushes to slip on his gear, he feels good about himself knowing he’s a hero, he holds his helmet under his right arm, and jumps on the bright shiny red fire truck, he taps the sparkling smooth metal twice, and they pull out of the fire station, as they arrive at the house, he spots the bright red and orange fire, instantly everything slows down, and his heart speeds up, other than the thrill and overall well-being of this career. Job duties, Salaries, Requirements, Hours, and other information about this career are also something to think about.
I have been preparing for the position of Lieutenant for the past couple of years. I am currently qualified to work as acting lieutenant of a fire company. Working as a lieutenant over the past few years has given me valuable experience and knowledge of what it takes to get the job done. I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from The Ohio State University. I have reached the paramedic level as an EMT. After college, I gained management experience as a line supervisor in a factory at General Motors. I believe the knowledge, skills and abilities that I have gained in these experiences has prepared me to be an effective leader of a fire company.
The nervous system controls both voluntary action (like conscious movement) and involuntary actions (like breathing) and sends signals to different parts of the body. The central nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs to the rest of the body. Together, these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts. The brain and spinal cord form the control center, also known as the central nervous system, where information is
Autonomic Nervous System is a control system that controls body function such as heart rate, respiratory rate, salivation, digestion, perspiration, pupillary dilation, sexual arousal, breathing, and swallowing. The ANS is affected by crisis in so many ways because whenever we have something unexpected happen our body reacts to it in so many different ways. Usually crisis is a bad things and our body reacts to it before we can think about it. It makes our blood pressure rise, heart rate rise, make our breathing difficult and basically mess with our whole body function system.
The cardiovascular system - The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting nutrients and removing gaseous waste from the body. It consists of the heart, which powers the whole process, the veins, arteries, and capillaries, which deliver oxygen to tissue at the cellular level. The cardiovascular system carries blood that is low in oxygen away from the heart to the lungs via arteries, where oxygen levels are restored through the air once oxygenated, this blood is then carried throughout the body via arteries, keeping our organs and tissue alive. The cardiovascular system is the workhorse of the body, continuously moving to push blood to the cells. If this important system ceases its work, the body dies.
As terrible as the Great Chicago Fire was to the city of Chicago back in 1871, the lessons learned from this disaster and the reconstruction that followed from the ashes and rubble actually helped turn Chicago into one of the great cities in the United States. This paper will examine what happened and why, what the leaders of Chicago learned from the experience, and how the will and spirit of the people of Chicago along with financial support from a sympathetic nation and beyond forever changed the city of Chicago for the better.
The triangle factory fire was very tragic fire that happened. There were 500 people working. When the fire happened 146 people died in the fire they were 8th floor or above . Daniel Donahue Pulled the fire alarm on the 8th floor and the top floors did not hear the alarm all the bottom floors heard the aram. Everyone in the building was scared and did not know what to do( pg.All the people on the bottom were scared and they never went over the rules and what to do in case there is an fire.The doors were locked, and people were crowded trying to get out. What would you do in the fire if you were on the 9th floor?
Every year communities struggle each year around the nation with issues of life safety. In 2012, the nation’s fire departments responded to 31,854,000 responses that resulted in the deaths 0f 2,855 civilians and injuring 16,500 causing an estimated $12,427 million dollars in damage. (United States Fire Administration, 2014) These incidents put at risk 345,950 career and 783,300 volunteer firefighters that resulted in the deaths of 81 individuals (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2013) and nearly 70,000 reported injuries. ( Karter & Molis, 2013) These numbers represent incidents that are determined to be in the line of duty but do not take into consideration the long-term health risk issues that may develop. Evidence shows that he hazards associated with Fire and Emergency Services are consistent across the board whether paid or volunteer and jeopardize the lives and health of each individual, placing administrative and physical control measures reduces this risk to firefighter within an organization. While it is impossible to eliminate the hazards firefighters face, it is important to identify these hazards as the first step in reducing the potential for loss of life and wellbeing both physically and mentally.
Naturalism's core idea is that humans succumb to nature's will. This popular belief, incorporated in many literary works, like those written by Jack London, is a direct reflection of the hopelessness humanity feels in the face of the natural world. " To Build a Fire" centers around a man and a dog, who are traveling through the freezing cold in Alaska, despite warnings from an old local. This short story incorporates the naturalist elements of Jack London's writing. By leaving both the dog and the human unnamed, London ensures that this concept can be applied to all humankind and all canines.
It is the idea that the mind and body are not separate entities. Rather, they are intricately connected, interacting with each other in many ways. The body's three main regulatory systems are the central nervous system (which includes the brain), the endocrine system (which produces hormones), and the immune system. These three systems work together and affect one another. Researchers who study the mind-body connection examine these interactions, and are particularly interested in the effects of emotions and thoughts on physical health.
The sympathetic system is often called the fight or flight system, as it is the portion of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for preparing the body for action and response. The parasympathetic system is sometimes called the rest and digest system due to the fact that it is responsible for slowing down the heart rate and stimulating the digestive system in order to process food and waste. So when the sympathetic system responds to the body 's need to run, it quickly sends messages to blood vessels to constrict, causing a rise in blood pressure so that oxygenated blood being pumped from the heart can reach actively engaged muscles more quickly. But once the body comes to a stop, the parasympathetic system begins sending messages for blood vessels to dilate and return the blood pressure to a regular level. This is just one instance where the parasympathetic system counterbalances the sympathetic, but a few other examples include when the sympathetic system dilates the airway and the pupils, decreases saliva production, and contracts sphincters, the parasympathetic system constricts the airway and pupils, increases saliva production for digestion, and relaxes the body 's sphincters ("Parasympathetic vs Sympathetic Nervous System."). There are also instances when each of the system 's independent effect on an organ are required to produce a desired bodily function, such as how the sympathetic system stimulates orgasm in males, while the parasympathetic system first stimulates an erection. These two divisions of the autonomic nervous system also differ in the rate at which they impact the body, as sympathetic processes generally occur very rapidly when compared to parasympathetic processes. For example, when a person becomes suddenly frightened while watching a scary movie, the sympathetic
The sympathethic nervouse system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathethic nervous system of the body acts to control the bodly functions like heart rate, urination, digestion and sexual arousal. The parasympathetic nervous system controls the fight or flight responses during difficult or stressful times. This system triggers the body to fight off any stress or danger.

The roles of the circulatory and respiratory system both carry important responsibilities and are essential in their jobs to the human body. The circulatory system is one, if not the, most important system in the human body. The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Within the blood vessels, there are three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart is an organ made up of cardiac muscle that has a role similar to a pump. When the muscles in the heart contract, it pumps fresh blood away from the heart, through a main artery called the aorta, and to the organs and cells of the body. Nutrients and oxygen then enter the cells through diffusion of the tissues. The respiratory system transports oxygen to the circulatory system. When transporting oxygen to the circulatory system, this will in turn transport oxygen to the rest of the cells in the body. Aside from transporting oxygen to the body, the respiratory system also plays a role in the removal of carbon dioxide and other contaminants in the body. These two systems effectively and efficiently work together in order to supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide and any other
Firefighting has been a thankless job since the beginning. It started out as a group of people with one objective; to extinguish a fire. They did not worry about the consequences or repercussions from not having any personal protective equipment. The equipment to help keep all firemen safe has drastically changed from being non-existence to the upmost importance. Without safety equipment, firemen cannot perform their job to the best of their ability. Firemen use turnout gear which has three major parts; helmet, jacket, and SCBA.
