Tethered cord syndrome Tethered cord syndrome is a stretch-induced functional disorder associated with the fixation (tethering) effect of inelastic tissue on the caudal spinal cord‚ limiting its movement. This abnormal attachment is associated with progressive stretching and increased tension of the spinal cord as a child ages‚ potentially resulting in a variety of neurological and other symptoms. Due to the variation of the growth rate of the spinal cord and the spinal column‚ the progression of

Urine Testing Science Research What is urinalysis? It is the physical‚ chemical‚ and microscopic examination of urine. Urine testing is an important tool used for medical testing on patients. It can be useful for providing information on a person’s body. Its checks many things like‚ for diseases‚ sugar‚ pH (acidity)‚ protein‚ and bacteria. Doctors or adults at home use urine dipsticks.

Margaret Sanger and Katherine McCormick‚ who later petitioned Gregory Pincus to give life to their dreams of a "simple‚ cheap‚ and safe contraceptive" (Sanger qtd. in Brown). Pincus then recruited Russell Marker who had changed a cholesterol from sarsaparilla roots into human "pregnancy hormone‚" progesterone. Marker ’s work was later taken up by Frank Colton. "It was Colton ’s version of the birth control pill that‚ in 1954‚ Pincus and gynecologist John Rock chose to field-test" (Brown). After clinical

two bones closer. The antagonist‚ is the muscle that relaxes as the agonist contracts. The lab was a physical example to show students which muscle was which. It also allowed students to see how the muscle activity was recorded by an electromyogram (EMG). As the lab began‚ students were to divide into groups and choose a person who would have their muscle activity recorded as the lab went on. Group participants attatched electrodes to the group’s chosen test subject‚ then recording leads‚ connected

For the second part of the lab‚ electromyograms will be triggered and recorded in order to study the Achilles and patellar stretch reflex and the reflex arc. Also‚ to understand nerve conduction velocity‚ EMG‚ and motor control. 2. The objectives of the first part of this lab is to observe and measure the reaction time to visual cues and compare this to the reaction time to auditory cues‚ to determine which stimulus would cause a longer reaction time
