The Wampanoag' is a Native American individuals in North America. They were a free alliance comprised of a few tribes. Numerous Wampanoag individuals today are selected in two governmentally perceived tribes, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, or four state-perceived tribes in Massachusetts. In the start of the seventeenth century, at the season of first contact with the English, the Wampanoag lived in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, a domain that incorporated present-day Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket islands. Their populace numbered in the thousands because of the extravagance of nature and their development of corn, beans and squash. Three thousand Wampanoag lived on Martha's Vineyard alone.

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).

“ ‘They’re afraid of us. They want to capture you and learn more about us ----------- that’s why there’s the large reward. It isn’t just a question of the true image ---------- though that’s the way they’re making it appear what they’re seen is that we could be a real danger to them.’ “ (132).

On March 26, 2016, the American Indian Student Association held a Powwow at the University of Oklahoma at the Lloyd Noble Center. This event was the 102nd of its kind at the university. It started at 2pm and continued on until midnight. I arrived after the Gourd Dance and food around 6:30 pm.

We have all have those moments throughout life that are exciting with learning about the global society.

Activators of Adenylate Cyclase would cause production of cAMP, which is a second messenger. This would amplify the signal and increase the extent of the scent.

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

Wupatki is not necessarily located where people would typically think a large group of people would live, however, this area became the home to almost 2000 people during the 11th to 13th centuries. The area is harsh in landscape and very dry. Natural vegetation is limited in this area, however, not too far to the south you will start to climb in elevation and with it you will find yourselves in the pines. The people that lived there are ancient Singua ancestors called Pueblo. Wupatki is a large structure that sits on a ridge of a plateau overlooking much of the surrounding landscape. You can see for miles and miles in this location, which would have been a perfect location for defense reasons. It also would have been the perfect location

Smells connection to emotion was also discussed, it turned out to be molecules with receptor signals capable of triggering memory through the olfactory part of our brain and the hippocampus, the site of memory

Ani Lui explained the importance of smell and how we can use it to fix are problems in life. “Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary, and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains” (Diane Ackerman).On Ted Talk, Lui talked about how smell can be a huge resource to our everyday life.The show was called “Smelfes, and other experiments in synthetic biology”. She showed pictures of fruits like strawberries that could grow its own fruit. Ani Lui is from EIT lab, a designer. She sorts out science fiction and science fact. At their lab, they study artificial life and objects. Back in the 19-century women would put an apple under there underarm. If the man ate the apple that meant

5. What is the function of odor? The function of the odor is to attract certain mammals and insects.

Since carvones form two mirror image the smellof spearmint will be R-(-) and the caraway will be S-(+). These two enantimores smell differently which is proof that olfactory receptors must contain the chiral group. The chiral group allows both enantimores to respond more strongly to one enantiomer than to the other.

Nature Neuroscience Journal published a research that shows a mouse trained to become scared of cherry blossoms smell before they are allowed to breed, produce offspring that show the same fearful response towards the cherry blossom although they only encounter it for the first time.

The senses of smell and taste are chemically based senses that are unique to the other senses in the way in which the brain interprets them. Unlike other senses which are perceived and categorized analytically, taste and smell both pass through the emotional response center of the brain on the way to their being stored as memories, evoking an emotional association to their formation as engrams. Consider the unlikely association between taste and smell and the emotional response that they can trigger; a chemical reaction that gives off a gaseous “odor”, completely quantifiable by scientific standards, can trigger a purely

The sense of smell is a chemical sense. It is called chemical sense as it detects the chemicals in the environment and it works on larger distances. The sense of smell is a primal sense for humans as well as animals. From an evolutionary standpoint, it is one of the most ancient of senses. Smell (or Olfaction) allows vertebrates and other organisms with olfactory receptors to identify food, mates, predators, and provides both sensual pleasure (the odor of flowers and perfume) as well as warnings of danger (e.g., spoiled food, chemical dangers). For both humans and animals, it is one of the important means by which our environment communicates with us (John & Leffingwell, 1994)
