surroundings

Examples of surroundings in the following topics:

• Changes in the Entropy of Surroundings

  • Irreversible reactions result in a change in entropy to the surroundings.
  • Since the gas does no work on the surroundings in a free expansion (the external pressure is zero, so PΔV = 0,), there will be a permanent change in the surroundings.
  • The heat from the surroundings (entropy) goes into the ice water and the ice melts.
  • The entropy of the ice water increases while the entropy of the surroundings decreases.
  • Distinguish whether or not entropy of surroundings changes in various reactions

• Arrangement of Fascicles

  • Skeletal muscles are grouped into fascicles, which are bunches of muscle fibers surrounded by a perimysium.
  • This fascia is interlinked with a serious of fascia found throughout the body, including the superficial fascia which is the lowermost layer of the skin and the visceral fascia which surrounds internal organs.
  • The fascia surrounding a muscle or muscle group does not contain many blood vessels, but is rich with sensory receptors.
  • Skeletal muscle is surrounded by a thick outer layer of connective tissue termed the fascia.
  • Each fascicle is surrounded by another layer of connective tissue termed the endomysium.

• The First Law of Thermodynamics

  • Thermodynamics often divides the universe into two categories: the system and its surroundings.
  • Conversely, in an exothermic reaction, the heat that is released in the reaction is given off and absorbed by the surroundings.
  • We know that chemical systems can either absorb heat from their surroundings, if the reaction is endothermic, or release heat to their surroundings, if the reaction is exothermic.
  • A basic diagram showing the fundamental distinction between the system and its surroundings in thermodynamics.
  • The powerful chemical reaction propelling the rocket lets off tremendous heat to the surroundings and does work on the surroundings (the rocket) as well.

• Serosa

  • For the heart, the surrounding serous membranes include: outer, inner, parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium (epicardium).
  • The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), pleural cavity (surrounding the lungs) and peritoneal cavity (surrounding most organs of the abdomen) are the three serous cavities within the human body.
  • The serous cavities are formed from the intraembryonic coelom and are basically an empty space within the body surrounded by serous membrane.
  • Therefore each organ becomes surrounded by serous membrane - they do not lie within the serous cavity.

• Serous Membranes

  • The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), pleural cavity (surrounding the lungs), and peritoneal cavity (surrounding most organs of the abdomen) are the three serous cavities within the human body.
  • The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), pleural cavity (surrounding the lungs) , and peritoneal cavity (surrounding most organs of the abdomen) are the three serous cavities within the human body .
  • The serous cavities are formed from the intraembryonic coelom and are basically an empty space within the body, surrounded by serous membrane.
  • Therefore, each organ becomes surrounded by serous membrane; they do not lie within the serous cavity.

• Performed individually

  • Subjective stimuli: Observations about an individual's surrounding environment and nature made by the individual, as well as more affective and temporal judgments about things not really seen but that are definitely felt.

• The Three Laws of Thermodynamics

  • In order to avoid confusion, scientists discuss thermodynamic values in reference to a system and its surroundings.
  • Everything that is not a part of the system constitutes its surroundings.
  • The system and surroundings are separated by a boundary.
  • Everything outside of the boundary is considered the surroundings, which would include the container itself.
  • The boundary must be clearly defined, so one can clearly say whether a given part of the world is in the system or in the surroundings.

• Comparison of Enthalpy to Internal Energy

  • The outer edge of the system is referred to as its boundary, which often separates the system from the surroundings.
  • Exchanges of work, heat, or matter between the system and surroundings generally take place across the boundary.
  • In contrast, the internal energies of both open and closed systems can change because they can exchange heat and work with their surroundings.
  • Enthalpy (H) encompasses both the internal energy of a system and the energy associated with displacing the system's surroundings.
  • However, in open systems, the pressure of the system and the surroundings has stayed constant.

• Changes in Temperature

  • Reactions with positive enthalpies—those that absorb heat from their surroundings—are known as endothermic.
  • In contrast, reactions with negative enthalpies—those that release heat into their surroundings—are known as exothermic.
  • Endothermic reactions, on the other hand, will be shifted towards product formation as heat is removed from the reaction's surrounding environment.

• Tenosynovitis

  • Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon.
