.... it tells them when to fatten up for hibernation, and when to wake up from hibernation in the spring. Melatonin is the hormone that controls not only when we feel sleepy, but the rate at which we age, when we go through puberty, and how well our immune systems fend off diseases. Being set in the middle of our brains, the pineal gland has no direct access to sunlight. Our eyes send it a message of how much sunlight they see, and when it's dark. The sunlight prohibits the gland from producing melatonin, so at night, when there's no sun, the sleep-inducing hormone is released into our bodies. Because of the pineal gland and melatonin, humans have k .....

.... 923,000 Americans. More than two of every five Americans die of cardiovascular disease. Today, more than one in five Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, with more than 2,500 Americans dying from it each day. Of those with heart disease, 52.2 percent are male and 47.8 percent are female. Of thirty-five countries surveyed in 1991, the United States cardiovascular death rate ranked 17th for both males and females. The highest death rates were in the Soviet Union, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The lowest were in Japan, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Canada. (Goldstein, 1995) Biological theories abound state that wo .....

.... is a big hassle, but it is not really a high quality of stressor. Hassles can cause quite a bit of stress, but they are nothing compared to a catastrophe. Catastrophes are unpredictable events that can change your life permanently. The biggest catastrophe in my life was when my best friend, Dre, died. It was hard for me because I knew what was happening to him but there was nothing I could do about it. My parents didn't know about him so I couldn't turn to them. I couldn't turn to my boyfriend because he wouldn't understand or care. Dre was the one person I could always turn to, and when I lost him my life changed forever. The death of a loved one is us .....

.... and environment play important roles in the development of personality. Every mother knows that babies differ from one another from the time of birth. Some are quiet, sleeping and waking regularly. Others cry frequently and have irregular sleeping and waking cycles. These differences seem to be due to heredity, but such factors as the mother's nourishment while she carried the child before birth may be important. An obvious biological difference exists between boys and girls. Later, as children grow and develop, sex differences become stronger. Certain glands called endocrine have different physical effects on boys than on girls. These effects, .....

.... the middle linebacker, Joe Smith, lays a crushing hit on the him and stops him one foot short of the first down marker. The Jets end up winning the game thanks to the great defensive play made by Joe Smith. Joe Smith’s overpowering strength and size seems to have won the game for the Jets and it just so happens that he might have acquired that strength and size through the use of an illegal drug known as anabolic . At the moment everything seems peachy keen, but was it really worth it? Now that I have set the stage, you have probably guessed that my research paper is on anabolic . In this paper I hope to show you all of the effects of , both positive and neg .....

.... the next century. Anabolic steroids, developed in the 1930's in Europe, are drugs that help to build new body tissue quickly, but with drastic side effects. Anabolic means the ability to promote body growth and repair body tissue. It comes from the Greek word anabolikos meaning "constructive." Steroids are basically made up of hormones. One woman training to make the 1984 US women's basketball team used them, her muscles started to bulge, her voice grew deeper, and she even had the beginnings of a mustache. These are all the usual symptoms of anabolic steroids. Steroids were not always used for sports, they started out the same way most drugs did, med .....

.... personal rights are fought for everyday, it is no surprise that euthanasia has become such a predominant issue for us. However, because our society is so committed to making sure that everyone's personal rights are met and appreciated, it is shocking that there is such a controversy over it. The word Euthanasia comes from the Greek language: eu means "good" and thanatos means "death". The meaning of the word has evolved from "good death". It now refers to the act of ending another person's life, at their request, in order to minimize suffering (Baird and Robinson, 1989). It comes in two main forms: --Passive Euthanasia: Hastening the death of a person by .....
