Brain plasticity allows these patients to complete and perform cognitive and physical functions that would otherwise be lost with the removal of a hemisphere. In Vigliano et al. (2010) study they explain that the girl they analyzed had a hemispherectomy at age five and was able to regain left hemispheric functions in her right hemisphere early on. This is not always the case that these functions will be able to transfer from one hemisphere to the other, as displayed in Esopenko et al. (2011)…

that cells “make” energy? Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed. An example would be chloroplast converting sunlight with is light energy into chemical energy to allow work for cellular functions. 7. How is the structure of a lysosome related to its function? Lysosomes are membranous sacs that contain digestive enzymes also known as hydrolytic enzymes. This allows it to breakdown macromolecules, damaged organelles, and pathogens inside the cell. Phagocytosis is…

Organelles work together to maintain a cell's internal process and functions by providing the necessary needs for the cell. Although this mainly applies to Eukaryotic cells, this can also apply to Prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells perform some of these function, but in a simpler way. Organelles work together to protect the cell, provide energy, repair the cell, direct the cell, and clean up the cell. First, organelles work together to protect the cell. The cell membrane is the main organelle…

Emotional processing and cognitive function are two main problematic areas in bipolar disorder. The patients with bipolar disorder may not be able to use cognitive functions to arrange and maintain emotional states and indeed, any defect in these functions leads to dysfunction in their processing and emotion regulation. Rumination is one of the cognitive symptoms associated with depression which is common in bipolar disorder. Ruminations affect some cognitive functions and emotional processing.…

Scholar explains the functions, virtues, and roles of an individual. Thoreau’s Walden is a continuation of Emerson’s The American Scholar, in that Thoreau gives a deeper explanation of the functions, virtues, and roles of the individual. Both of these stories, however, express slightly different views on religion and government, money and power, but they both express Light Romanticism in experimental qualities. Emerson and Thoreau also present…

The enzymes in the stomach break down food as well as kill bacteria. What cells in the stomach function to form enzymes and acids? Parietal cells in the stomach create hydrochloric acid and pepsin which digests proteins. Why doesn’t gastric juice digest the inside of the stomach? The stomach mucosa that lines the stomach is able to resist the juices of the stomach acid. What are sphincters and how are they related to the stomach? The first is the cardiac sphincter located at the top of…

polyneuropathy will lead to several sensory, motor, and autonomic function changes. Primarily, demyelination and degeneration of axons, it will lead to changes in sensory function, resulting in decreased sensation or impaired vibration senses. In addition, changes to motor function resulting in muscle atrophy, decreased reflexes, abnormal stress to joints, and difficulty walking on toes. The most severe manifestation of motor function is muscle weakness because it can progress to total motor…

considered the motherhood function was such an important duty for women, Ibsen, one of the promoters of the woman revolution, expresses his ideas of motherhood function in his literature works. His two plays, A Doll House and Hedda Gabler shows his point of view of motherhood function. Ibsen compares and contrasts new women’s belief about the motherhood function as an optional and nonessential decision with…

In the “Manifesto of the Communist Party” by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the intro explains the complicated social ranks in ancient Rome and the Middle Ages.

Bourgeois is the middle class whereas the proletarians are the lower or working class. The bourgeois class has gained power and put the an…

executive functions are dependent upon this for their own effective execution” (Mash & Barkley, 2014). The other executive functions include working memory, problem solving, planning, and attention (Barkley, 2012). Based off of Barkley’s theory, the inability to inhibit information plays a role in working memory, problem solving, planning and attention. Deficits in these areas can be attributed to impulsive behavior, hyperactive behavior, and inattentive behavior. Executive functions such as…
