Aria's cranial Nerve Case Study Professor: Sandra Clabough Pragya Devkota Khanal 11/17/2017 Introduction: This study examined Aria, a 30-year-old woman who was recently brought in the emergency room after a bicycle accident. Apart from her external physical injuries, it is assumed that she may have internal head injuries due to the visible fracture of her temporal bone.…
Many of the small bumps that can be seen on the tongue contain taste buds. These surface cells send taste information to nearby nerve fibers, which send messages to the brain. Also why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? That is because the stomach doesn’t digest itself because it forms its own mucus barrier produced by goblet cells that prevent gastric juice from leaking into the lamina propria. Roach asks how much can you eat before your stomach bursts?…
Taste of Acetaminophen in Students who lack Bitter taste receptors for Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) Alexander Hernandez 3791590 PCB 3063 Genetics Lab Section U09 Abstract PTC is a lab created synthetic substance formulated very recently, while acetaminophen has a much longer history. The question is did the ability to taste each of these substances evolve differently over time. A PTC non-taster might still be able to taste acetaminophen even though they lack the PTC taste receptors.…
When you smell something rotten, your perception receives a message from the cortex and it starts to adjust. All sensory messages will be processed by perception. An interesting fact that I didn’t know about was that a sensory can send a message to the perception, and it can make you have a memory of something in the past, or remind you of a certain smell that an old family member wore. Then we finally come to cognition, when it comes to cognition you are processing knowledge and understand through thought, personal experiences, and the…
We don’t even need to be able to taste to survive, but God in his infinite mercy and goodness gifted us with these and many other things because it pleased God to do so. With all of this in mind we need to love the world with our worshipping it. God created human beings in his image so this means we have responsibilities to the rest of creation. We have dominion of the earth, but that doesn’t mean we get to completely trash it. We must be responsible stewards of…
We smell the drink. We see its color. We taste it. Hearing is the only sense that doesn 't participate unless we create it.” (imdb.com, Tortilla Soup)…

The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether there is a correlation between the positive sensitivity to PTC bitterness and the sensitivity to the bitterness of kale. The population sample of twenty-four students was used and a survey. The participants reported on a range was from 0 (not bitter) to 10 (very bitter). A rating of 4 and above would indicate a PTC taster and a high sensitivity to the bitterness of kale. Once the experiment was completed a T-test was applied to the data to determine whether there is a correlation.…
Joseline Jacamo To the Bitter End: A Case Examining the Genetics of PTC Sensitivity First part : Questions 1. What L.H Snyder is inferred by using “Mendelian marker” is to convey that all Mendelian traits which is inherited from the parent and pass down to its offspring can be utilized as a maker. 2. Some question that Dr. Snyder could ask is “How would you know if PTC is an inherited trait?. In addition, “How are you going to test if PTC is an inherited trait or not?.…
a. If a person has the PTC tasting gene then they are more likely to detect toxic chemicals in their food and will be less likely to consume poisonous substances. b. If a person has the PTC tasting gene, then they are less likely to be a smoker because they detest the taste of cigarettes. a. What variation exists within a population of chimpanzees in regards to PTC sensitivity?…
Method Participants Both the male and female freshman basketball teams of St. Francis Xavier High School, a local high school, were sampled in the experiment. The high school freshman population was chosen because freshman are typically unexposed to the underlying purpose of the experiment like many upperclassmen may be from higher classes. This could alter the results and the natural human response to the situation may not be shown. Twenty-one total students participated, eleven males and ten females. The participants consisted of students between the ages of fourteen and fifteen.…

One reason that these flavors concentrations works so well in food human taste and smell. Humans are so refined in flavor acquisition that the nose can sense “aromas present in quantities of a few parts per trillion” (1058). The equipment used by scientist in detecting the flavors are not even as powerful as the human body. These machines are something that scientist are working hard on refining to make sure that their flavors are the best that they can be. Schlosser also utilizes anecdotes throughout this article, to show readers interesting events that makes his point more…
Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to smell anything? Research shows that many people take their sense of smell for granted and would likely not consider losing it as a catastrophic thing. However, if you stop and think about how much of your daily life involves smell, it actually could be a terrible loss. Smell effects our emotions, our moods, enhances (or sometimes detracts from) our atmosphere, and most importantly, our sense of smell has a great deal to do with our sense of taste.…
