muscles including the phrenic nerve that controls the diaphragm. This would further cause Allen to not be able to adequately take in enough oxygen and blow off enough CO2 to adequately have gas exchange, within the alveoli. Respiratory failure. 7. What is the primary muscle of respiration? What nerve initiates this muscle? The primary muscle of respiration is the diaphragm. The nerve that initiates this muscle is the phrenic nerve. 8. Which spinal neurons to the nerve you named in question #7?

ultimately leading to impaired muscle coordination. The spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and cerebellum are the main components of the body that are affected in this disease. The spinal cord and peripheral nerves begin to degenerate which cause them to become thinner and prevent nerve impulses. Nerve impulses are responsible for the proper functioning of the body. It acts as signaling molecules and when these are prevented proper function of the body is disrupted. The cerebellum is also affected in this

aparin (clexane) Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin used to prevent thrombosis, particularly post surgery. Enoxaparin binds to antithrombin III which is responsible for inhibiting coagulation by acting on factor Xa. Enoxaparin accelerates the activity of antithrombin III therefore preventing clot formation (McKenna & Lim, 2014 p766). When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets in circulating blood stick to the site of injury and release chemicals that attract more platelets causing aggregation

The standard deviation is the mean multiplied by the range of the numbers. Activity B: Visual and auditory stimuli Get the Gizmo ready: Click Clear data. Introduction: We perceive stimuli through nerve cells in our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical signal to the brain. After the signal is processed by the brain, other signals are sent to our muscles as we react to the stimulus. Question: Do we react more quickly to visual

others IV. Axons and dendrites in the periphery are covered with myelin, which acts as insulation Neurotransmitters I. Neurotransmitters: chemicals that enable messages (nerve impulses) to pass from one cell to another, if chemicals are not produced in the right amounts, the message pathway becomes confused or blocked Nerves I. Some axons and dendrites are long and others short. Axons and dendrites of many

getting ready for a new thing I’ve never really done before. My nerves how shot high just thinking about going out onto that stage by myself. I felt like my whole body was going to collapse from being so nervous. My best friend, Micheala, was there keeping me afloat somehow. She had quoted one of our favorite authors, J.K. Rowling, earlier that morning. Micheala had told me “You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you got enough nerve.” It must been her way to try and calm me down because it

Cell Theory Cell Theory is a way to describe the biology of living things. Cell theory says that the cell is the basic unit of life. Cells by themselves are alive, but they can also be part of a larger living thing. The smallest living organisms (like bacteria but not viruses) and the biggest ones (like humans and whales) are all made of cells. Very small organisms like bacteria and amoebas are only made of one cell each, so they are called unicellular organisms ("uni" means "one"). Larger organisms

Descartes’s perception of the mind-body interaction was far from conventional; however, became accepted by many scientists of his time. Descartes’s view of the mind body interaction is supported by other researchers of his day who studied the brain, nerves, and the senses. Scholars have argued for years about how the mind could possibly be distinguished from the

Investigating the Effect of Alcohol on Heartbeat of Daphnia Daphnia are the organisms that are involved in this experiment to find out what effect alcohol has on their heartbeat. It is easy to study the effects of alcohol on the heart of Daphnia as the organ can be easily seen through the transparent body of Daphnia. The number of heartbeats may be counted before submersion in alcohol and after submersion in alcohol to investigate the effect of alcohol. Daphnia belong

that the nervous system's influence can change aspects of pain. What is happening during a painful experience? Two classes of pain have been delineated: nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain. The latter division involves only direct injury to nerves in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Tissues containing specialized sensory receptors, called nociceptors, are activated by noxious stimuli and have been discovered to exist in almost all multicellular animals on Earth, as well as in
