Concept explainers
To explain: The policies in the states of USA to protect high school athletes from heat illness.
Concept introduction: When the body temperature rises above 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C) range, the control center for thermoregulation in the brain inducts signals. Counter current heat exchange occurs. The blood vessels near the skin will dilate and heat is released to the exterior. When the body temperature drops below a certain range, the control center for thermoregulation in the brain inducts signals. This results in body shivering and counter current heat exchange occurs. The blood vessels near the skin constrict resulting in the conservation of heat. The above processes are collectively called as counter current heat exchange. Heat illness is a condition where the brain fails to thermo-regulate over the exposure to heat.
To explain: The reason why heat illness is much more common in football players than athletes.

Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.
