BIOS 255 WEEK 5 Lab 5 - Lymphatic System & Disease Resistance 1. Describe lymphatic system functions. The primary functions of the lymphatic system are to drain and return interstitial fluid to the blood to absorb and return lipids from the digestive system to the blood‚ and to filter fluid of pathogens‚ damaged cells‚ cellular‚ and cancerous cells to help protect against invasion. 2. Locate each of the following lymphatic vessels: right lymphatic duct‚ thoracic (left

Autism: A Neurobiological Disorder Abstract Autism is a neurobiological disorder that effects about 1 and 1000 children that are born. There cause of Autism is still unknown. As of right now‚ there is no cure for autism‚ only some of its symptoms. Nevertheless‚ with proper care and medication children and adults that suffer from autism can live a full productive life. What is Autism? Autism is a developmental disability‚ also known

main factor that leads to the damage of optic nerve is elevated pressure in the eye. The optic nerve is the main visual nerve of the eye. It transmits the images we see back to the brain for interpretation. The shape and tone of the eye is maintained by a pressure within the eye‚ which ranges between 8 mm and 22 mm of mercury. When this pressure is too low‚ the eye becomes softer‚ while an elevated pressure causes the eye to become harder. The optic nerve is the most susceptible part of the eye to high

In other words‚ the customer simply sees a product and purchases it. Using suitable arguments and examples‚ explain why consumers buy impulsively. Impulse buying behavior Impulse buying is a buying behaviour characterized as unplanned‚ spontaneous‚ immediate‚ unconscious and emotionally driven. Unplanned purchase that is characterized

understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons. We used the sciatic Lithobates pipiens nerve in this experiment‚ the sciatic nerve is long nerve‚ it extends from the buttocks

Guts‚ and Brains Seminar Summary During the seminar “Bugs‚ guts and brains: How gut microbiota shapes your mind and body” on November 7‚ Physiologist from UC Davis‚ Dr. Helen Raybould discussed how gut microbes in humans and animals affects neurophysiology based primarily on the foods we eat and the genes expressed in the gut. There is an intersection between micro and host physiology that affects the overall health and behavior of the host. To understand this‚ the neural pathways by which macronutrients

Abstract Pyromania is an impulse control disorder categorized by the DSM-5 as “deliberate and purposeful fire-setting on more than one occasion” combined with “tension or affective arousal”‚ “pleasure‚ gratification or relief when setting fires or when witnessing or participating in their aftermath” (American Psychiatric Association‚ 2013). Also‚ those diagnosed with pyromania aren’t setting fires for monetary gain‚ to conceal crimes‚ as an expression of emotion or ideology‚ or because of impaired

use of Nerve agents‚ and to a larger extent Chemical Weapons‚ is illegal according to United Nations Resolution 687 which passed in 1991. The production‚ stockpiling‚ and use of these weapons were banned by The Hague Convention of 1899 and the Geneva Protocol of 1925. All Nerve agents are fatal to the human body in the same way. Some are more potent‚ and some remain on the battlefield longer than others. Many factors play a role in how long a Nerve agent remains on the battlefield. Nerve agents come
