Homework 5 1. One of the important things that a caregiver must remember is that you cannot shake a baby to make them stop crying. While shaking a baby can lead to many other painful things to the child it can also give the child shaken baby syndrome. As it is stated in the book, caregiver might get frustrated with the child crying, and think shacking it will make it stop but all instead it can lead to this life threatening condition.…
Bill McEwen in the article, ”River Plan Too Fishy for My Taste Buds,” points out that those who are all for the restoration plan really should not be celebrating. Why right? McEwen supports his position by pointing out two big problems with this plan, one is putting salmon back in the river and the second is, there is no funding for the dams or river recirculation. The authors purpose is to expose the flawed restoration plan and to do that he clearly states that experts at UC Davis, who study California’s rapidly declining salmon population, prove that salmon need to be in clear, cool, and highly oxygenated water to thrive. The river has not been in the conditions since the 1940’s.…

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?…
1.2.1 The Structure of the Primary Sensory Organ, Tongue: Taste is primarily mediated by the endogenous gustatory organ, taste buds found within three of four types of papillae: fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate. The main muscular structure of the tongue is enclosed by an epithelial cell layer which contains small projections called papillae. Some regions of the papillae are specifically devoted to the detection of taste molecules and are called taste papillae or taste epithelium. The rest of the epithelium is non-gustatory epithelium covered with the fourth type of papillae, called filiform papillae. Filiform papillae are most numerous in number but do not contain any taste buds.…
Receptors are protein molecules that receive chemical signals in the form of ligands and induce responses at cellular level. They are localized at the cell surface, cytoplasm or the nucleus, depending on their amino acid sequences. In addition to using these three different localizations to categorize receptors, the types of action of receptors are also used as a mean of classification. The four main classifications of receptors are: 1. Ionotropic (or ligand-gated ion channel) receptors, 2.…
The main classification for sensory receptors is the type of…
The mouth and tongue is for texture; and therefore, by combining the ability of smell with touch ability of our tongue, we create the actual sense of taste. With my enhanced ability to detect sense I am a self classified, more like unofficially certified, super taster . I can taste everything and let me tell you, there are a lot of things I do not like. I can however appreciate the effort and time of food preparation better than most people even if when I do not like the food. The last two senses of sight and hearing I can not personally speak to as I have bad eyes and I am half deaf in my right ear.…
Gallegos examines Campbell and Bourdieu’s respective theories of taste at the beginning of her article. Bourdieu discussed taste regarding social hierarchy and class division – Gallegos utilizes Coveney (1996, p.50), who argued that cuisine is about “positioning people in accordance with their class expectations and their collective consciousness”. Campbell saw taste as a reflection of the psychological; hedonism defines modern consumption, created by longings for pleasures via daydreaming. Therefore, cookbooks can construct a balance between binaries that define the self, and serve as a way of testing the tensions between this. Gallegos goes on to examine Australian history.…
Rough Draft Research Paper: Abby Connor How Does Smell Affect Taste? There are many different ways smell affect taste, one reason for this is because of the way the brain percepts how the food smells. For example, if you smell something that might smell like strawberry, like a slushie that may have strawberry in it but mostly smells like strawberry , you might think that it is strawberry or, but it could really be blueberry flavored, your brain may still think that is strawberry, this is because of the way it smelled, even though you may have already tasted it you may still think it is strawberry/raspberry flavored. Smell also affects taste because of how taste and smell interact with each other.…
However, very hot or very cold stimuli may destroy touch receptors, and this penetrating stimulation may be interpreted as pain sensation. Taste and Smell Low concentrations of several chemicals present in the air can be sensed by the sensory receptors in the nose. These chemicals that we rapidly detect include those in perfumes or air fresheners. Conclusion Studies of adaptation continue to expose astonishing and complex forms of flexibility in sensory systems, from peripheral receptors to central mechanisms coding highly intellectual properties of the stimulus.…
Some examples of the glial cells are astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. There are three main types of neurons which are composed of sensory neuron, motor neuron, and interneuron. All three neurons are made up of dendrites, cell bodies, and axons. The sensory neurons detect sensory information from the outside environment and are the main factors that make up the five senses such as smell and taste. Nervous tissues form a…
The nervous system consists of five senses including touch, sound, smell, taste, and sight. Our movements, sensations, thoughts, and emotions all come from the nervous system (Anon, 2018). How a person responds to a stimulus is coordinated by their central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It collects information about changes to the environment and the receptors respond to a stimulus sending impulses along sensory neurons to the central nervous system (Bbc.co.uk, 2018).…
However, their changes start taking place when a child begins to react to getting hot, cold and hunger. So, therefore the reactions become visible because infants can then recognize their parent’s voices or other voices. Additionally, seeing, hearing, smelling and touching are the five most important senses to help any infant to manage their reactions and understanding the environment. Part B Nature versus nurture is said to be controversy debate in psychology.…
These four senses are compiled in our brain and processed as cautionary information that jump starts our response. That is one of the reasons that absolute thresholds are very important to understand. There is one problem with these thresholds though. They are dependent on the person’s abilities at processing inputs and perceiving change applied to their five senses.…
