The component of the reflex that is most likely to be damaged in Nick’s situation would be the patellar reflex and the Achilles reflex. D. The division of the autonomic nervous system affected‚ that’s causing Nick’s GI symptoms is the parasympathetic system. E. Autonomic reflexes adjust heart rate‚ force of ventricular contraction

Spinal cord injuries If the spinal cord is damaged in an accident‚ the sections below the injury will be cut off from the circuit of information to and from your brain. This means‚ all nerves - and all body parts - linked to these areas of the spinal cord will also be disconnected from your brain and will stop functioning. Well protected To minimise the risk of such an injury‚ your spinal cord is well protected: Three tough envelopes called meninges surround your spinal cord A clear fluid‚ that

BIOSENSORS ADVANCED BIOREPORTER TECHNOLOGIES FOR TARGETED SENSING OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS Steven Ripp and Gary S. Sayler Introduction Bioreporters refer to intact‚ living microbial cells that have been genetically engineered to produce a measurable signal in response to a specific chemical or physical agent in their environment (Figure 1). Bioreporters contain two essential genetic elements‚ a promoter gene and a reporter gene. The promoter gene is turned on (transcribed) when the

Organophosphorus insecticides • Organophosphorus insecticides are normally esters‚ amides‚ or thiol derivatives of phosphoric‚ phosphonic‚ phosphorothioic‚ or phosphonothioic acids. Most are only slightly soluble in water and have a high oil-to-water partition coefficient and low vapor pressure. • Organophosphates - are commonly used for small animals as flea and tick powders‚

baby’s appearance is adaptive. “A reflex is an inborn‚ automatic response to a particular form of stimulation.’(P.g 143) As we know‚ some reflexes have adaptive value. Reflexes help identify normal brain and nerve activity. Caroline perhaps sees her baby lie in a fencing position. One arm is extending legs‚ throwing arms outward‚ and then bringing arms in toward the body. Then Caroline has one question in mind. “Why is she so out of proportion.” Tonic neck reflex can explain this question. It can
