I decided to research Anosmia to do my chapter 3 activity over. Anosmia is a condition that affects olfaction and the olfactory system. The olfactory system is our sense of smell, and consists of the olfactory epithelium; olfactory receptor cells; olfactory bulbs; Amygdala; The olfactory cortex, the limbic system; the thalamus; and the orbitofrontal cortex. Odors travel through the nasal passages and reach the olfactory epithelium. The olfactory epithelium has around 10 million olfactory receptor cells that detect the odor that travels up the nasal cavity. The olfactory bulb receives the information from the cells and sends them to the Amygdala and the olfactory cortex. The information is then sent to the limbic system from the olfactory cortex. After the information is sent to the limbic system it is sent to the thalamus and onto the orbitofrontal cortex, where the information is processed. …show more content…
There can be many causes of this condition, like age and even smoking cigarettes. Some causes come from some temporary conditions like an infection or a cold. Some pre-existing conditions can also cause this condition, like Schizophrenia or Multiple Sclerosis. Ironically Anosmia can be also be caused by chemicals that are smelled. Some people do not need treatment because their sense of smell comes back. The treatment for Anosmia will be different depending on the cause. Some treatments include steroids, surgery, and some herbal
D2: Analyse the impact on the human body of dysfunctions in relation to water balance
Learning Objective 1: 18.1 Compare control of body functions by the nervous system and endocrine system.
1) Make a graph of resting heart rates from Activity 1. Provide a physiological explanation for fluctuations in resting heart rate over time. Discuss a couple of extrinsic factors that influence the autonomic nervous regulation of resting heart rate.
3. Explain your prediction for the effect Na+ Cl- might have on glucose transport. In other words, explain why you picked the choice that you did. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Contrast is directly related to the illumination system and can be adjusted by changing the intensity of the light and the diaphragm. Chemical stains applied to the specimen can also enhance contrast elements (Alonzo p56)
This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.
Activity two: Journal Ask your partner these questions. 1. What is your name? ____________________________ 2. How many students are in our class?
In this reading Opsal talks about resistant thinking and how women who were incarcerated do not let social labels define them. These women do not let their mistakes define them due to how they view things. This was put as “Women pointed out that the situations that end with somebody in prison are not, as Ronda states, ‘black and white’,” (Adler & Adler, 2014: pg. 302). Which meant to me that there is always story behind every situation. The author Opsal talks about post drug self which is when women who have used drugs start to make a change by proving that they want to change and become better. Which this process was taken in a whole different level when these women actually not only prove, but mentally think and know that they want to change

Decreased interest in olfaction may be related to early work which contrasted varying levels of olfactory abilities among animals, highlighting primates as deficient in this sense. In Turner’s 1891 paper The Convolutions of the Brain, he proposed a classification of Mammalia into three groups 1) Anasmotics, where the organs of smell are absent and included dolphins and whales, 2) Macrosmatics, defined by animals with a highly developed sense of smell and included ungulates, carnivores and most mammals, and 3) Microsmatics where the sense of smell is “feeble” as in pinnipeds, some whales, and apes and man. This idea of apes and humans, indeed, primates in general having a poor sense of smell was corroborated by Negus in 1958 and Le
Often, we do not realize just how important our taste and smell senses are to every day life. We go about our day and do the normal human thing. We sleep, eat, shower, get dressed, go to school, work, etc. What if our sense of taste and smell were taken away? How would it change these every day routines? If there were a house fire while we were sleeping and we could not smell the smoke, what would happen? What if we could not taste or smell the food we were eating? What if we could not smell if our bodies were clean when we showered? As a nurse, what if I could not smell a foul odor in regards to urine or
Smell, on the other hand, is the sense that comes from odor molecules attaching to the olfactory nerve. Air carries the odor into the nose. Then odor contacts the olfactory nerves at the top of the nasal passages. The the olfactory nerves send a signal to the olfactory bulb of the brain, and the nerve sends a signal to the front of the brain. The forebrain translates the signals of the odor into a specific smell (Swindle, Mark).
T F 1. Generally when one loses his/her sense of smell, he/she also loses the sense
Homeostasis is the ability of the the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes. For example, “The body can control temperature by making or releasing heat.” When the body is making heat it and releasing heat it is in order to maintain the usual human body temperature, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Senses is a faculty by which the body feels an external stimulus: one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. A sense organ, or sensor, dedicated to each sense, sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), smell (olfaction) and touch (somatosensation) are the five traditionally recognized senses. The five senses are located on different parts of the human body, for example, the eyes translate light into
