COMPARISON OF LATENCY PERIOD AND AMPLITUDE OF TWO SIMPLE SPINAL REFLEX PATHWAYS AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE JENDRASSIK MANEUVER ON EACH RESPONSE Jacob Simmons, Adam Middleton, Hamilton Moore, Max Smith, Trey Dickinson University of Mississippi, Dept. of Biology, University, MS. 38677 A simple spinal reflex is a reflex—involuntary, graded, patterned response to a stimulus—that is produced via a single synapse between sensory axons and motor neurons and confined to the spinal cord. In this experiment

medieval period to present. It helped me understand more and appreciate art from different periods more than a thousand years back. It refreshed me of the music terminologies and added some more. We’re able to recognize and identify musical instruments of various kinds of music. We gained a better comprehension of a music’s texture, melody, key, rhythm, style, or form. Some music masterpieces in the past generations live up to the present time and continues to evolve. The medieval period (476-1400)

During the medieval period, the key elements in the political arena were feudalism. Feudalism means a government whereby political power is exercised in a local manner by individuals rather than in a bureaucracy of the centralized government. During this period political activities were all about personal affairs which were based on the individual loyalty rather the loyalty of the people or political system. Medieval political activities were characterized by three basic features. To start with,

meeting the needs of listeners and performers. Different composers have been catalysts in this change as they have developed new styles and genres. Even though the classical period is directly subsequent of the baroque period, baroque and classical music have countless different qualities and characteristics. The baroque period of music commenced in the year 1600 and ended around 1750 (Fuller – “Baroque”). Its texture was mainly polyphonic (Fuller – “Classical”). Polyphonic means that two or more

was earlier in the form of various British colonies. The region was not united and they joined hand with the passage of time. The history of Canada can be divided roughly into two factions: the pre confederation period and the confederation period. The pre-confederation period is the period prior to the unification of Canada. Before the advent of Europeans, Canada had no single unified government or administration. The only kind of politics was the treaties signed among the regions or tribes. At the

1.Three major cultural changes or contributions to the humanities that occurred between the Paleolithic period and the and the Neolithic period are the different techniques developed to hunt, the importance of the human figures, and the architecture. Different techniques to hunt were shown by looking at wall paintings, in the Paleolithic era paintings were found in deep caves and showed a realism of the animals they depended on for food, where as the Neolithic era paintings were located on smooth

The Medieval Period lasted from 400-1500 AD and began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The fall and the beginning of this era had massive changes to the social and economic systems of that time. These changes began to occur because of the start of feudalism in both Europe and Asia during this time in hope to protect themselves from barbarians. At that time, the feudal system was the law of the land, and the way that the upper class maintained control over the lower class. To maintain this

Imagine stillness in time letting you know, that your life was going to end in a matter of minutes. In “Grace Period,” it tells a story about a man’s experience in a nuclear explosion. Panic and survival instinct kick in as nuclear repercussions occur. When reading, “Nuclear Weapon Effects,” it helps create a better understanding of what is happening throughout, “Grace Period.” Comparing this short story and article allows readers to decipher what is about to take place in this man’s life.

At the start of the Devonian Period, about 419.2 million years ago, our planet was undergoing major change. The union of the paleo-continents of Laurentia and Baltica (made up of what is now parts of modern day North America, northern Europe, Russia, and Greenland) occurred near the beginning of the Devonian Period and formed a supercontinent that straddled the Equator. That landmass has been called Laurussia, or Euramerica. There was a great deal of red sediment created when North America collided

1) The main conflict that occurred during the Muromachi period was the Onin war. The main causes that were responsible for this conflict can be traced back to during the time when there was a balance of power between the shogun and daimyo. There were three very prominent daimyo families who rotated as deputies to the shogun. This led to the successful reunifying of the Northern and Southern court in 1392 by Yoshimitsu. However, he failed to uphold his promise of an equal distribution of power between
