The Impact of Trigger Warnings on University Campuses and in Curriculum As students amass themselves into the hallowed halls of universities all over the country, two essays discuss how a modern phenomenon will impact their environment. Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt co-wrote the extensive "The coddling of the American Mind", a cover story for the Atlantic September 2015 issue, while Aaron R. Hanlon wrote a response essay with the New Republic, "The Trigger Warning Myth", shortly after. Lukianoff

chimpanzees, rats, birds, and many other species, to find new medical discoveries and test new products for safety before sold for human consumption. Ever since ancient Greek times, animal testing has been used to learn more about the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology of human beings. It wasn’t until 2011, when US Senator Maria Cantwell brought up the issue of animal experimentation in a bill called S. 810, the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act. This law would have prohibited

By learning physiology one can gain knowledge about how the various processes in the body critical for survival work, and basic daily functions of life. By learning how a muscle contracts, and how muscles increase circumference through exercise someone who is looking to achieve a muscular, or lean exterior can manipulate various exercise in order to attain their desired outcome. Not only can someone improve how they look by exercising, but they can improve their ability to complete an exercise, endurance

Stress in College students Breanne Carlson Denver College of Nursing Stress in College Students Anyone who has taken college level courses knows that it can become extremely stressful, but what are the effects on the human body and mind when under so much stress? According to a mental health study in 2008 8 out of 10 students in college say they have sometimes or frequently felt stress in their daily lives for over 3 months. An increase of 20% from a survey five

Department of Physiology & Neurobiology PNB 2264 Exam I Unlike the abdominal viscera, the thoracic viscera are separated into two cavities by an area called the mediastinum. What is the clinical importance of this compartmental arrangement? The clinical importance of this compartmental arrangement is that the mediastinum region contains a lot of major and essential parts of the human body. The mediastinum contains the pericardial cavity, thymus, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels. The

Module 5 CARDIAC PHYSIOLOGY Case No. 1 Melvin Rodriguez was admitted at the intensive care unit. On the first hospital day, he developed hypotension, BP of 70/40, cardiac rate of 100 beats per minute, rales all over lung fields, respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute. Pertinent physical examination showed patient was dyspneic, distented neck vein. Patient was on left ventricular failure with pulmonary congestion. Questions 1. What is the Frank starling law of the heart? The Frank–Starling

Physiology of Stretching Stretching is helpful in the aspect that it helps to improve flexibility, athletic performance, and reduces the risk of injury during physical activity. It is also helpful in the process of realigning tissue inside of muscle fibers (Lynn Hetzler). The stretching itself, however, is actually a complicated process. A muscle is composed of numerous strands of tissue, referred to as fascicles. Each one of these fascicles are made up of bundles of muscle fibers (Lynn Hetzler)

Introduction Aestivation is derived from Latin: aestas, summer, but also spelled aestivation in American English is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months. [1] Mechanism of Aestivation Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid

Anatomy and physiology II Victoria Garcia December 2, 2012 Phagocytosis The coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and the restless nights is a place where we have all been quite a few times; and sometimes it feels like it could be for the last time. What people don’t think about is why all this is happening to them. Little do we know our cells are undergoing just as much trouble as we are; a lot more goes on in the microscopic world than people think. Elie Mitchnikoff could tell you all about this

of non-human animals in research and developmental projects, especially for purposes of determining the safety of substances such as food or drugs (Animal Experimentation 4). Along with these reasons, animals were also used to understand anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology in experiments that trace all the way back to 129 AD (Hajar 5). A physician from Rome named Galen conducted these experiments (Hajar 5). Ever since the early Greek physician-scientists started using animals to test on
