Introduction
The human body is both a complex, and synchronous operational system responsible for our survival and adaptation. Although meticulous and efficient, the interactions between systems and the external environment can result in failure and catastrophe. There is no better illustration of this phenomena than by the ingestion of substances into the human body, particularly those described as depressants and stimulants. These substances can vary from a morning cup of coffee, to alcohol and prescription grade medications. Similarly, the effects can vary from immediate to latent and protracted. Often, this impact is ignored, misinterpreted, or even attributed to other causes. A study was made to see the difference in power output when given a caffeinated supplement, the study concluded, “The results of this study confirm previous reports that caffeine supplementation significantly increases blood lactate and Wmax.“(Glaister, et al.) The caffeine increases the total power output of subject. Given the fact that humans respond in different ways to various external substances, this experiment displays how external stimuli affected organisms. The purpose was to examine the behavior and anatomy of millipedes under the influence of…show more content… In reference to our common knowledge, we know that humans and millipedes differ in a variety of ways. Biologically, humans are much larger than millipedes. Therefore, humans consume on a larger scale due to larger organ capacity. For example, humans consume food periodically throughout the day to produce the amount of energy that it is needed to sustain them throughout the day. In contrast, millipedes survive off of very little food, while continuing to carry on with everyday functions. During this experiment we sought to prove that alcohol and caffeine was just as effective, if not more, on millipedes when compared to
