Classification Essay

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. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), 3. Enzyme or kinase linked receptors and 4. Nuclear receptors (not in terms of localization but effect on gene…

believes that obesity is a disease, and should be treated as such. In her article, “Rethinking Weight”, Spake entertains the idea that the stigmatisms that surround obesity are of great importance, but she really believes that obesities medical classification is far more crucial. Obesity should be classified and treated as a disease. Spake does agree that fat people are treated is wrong. She recognizes that their social treatment is significant, but she thinks that it is more important that…

substance use benefits only if a particular type of cost-sharing (copay, coinsurance, deductible, etc.) is applies to Substantially All (at least two-thirds of allowed costs) of the medical/surgical benefits in the classification being tested. If cost-sharing is allowed in the classification, the Predominant level of cost-sharing must be determined (level applying to greater than 50% of the allowed costs). These same two tests apply to quantitative treatment limits as well (inpatient day limits,…

harm towards the mind the body would fail and vise versa. Considering the doctrine of Carter dualism, philosopher Ryle disregards Descartes beliefs, insisting and redirecting a certain topic or thing under one classification even though it may actually belong in a different classification. For this reason Ryle criticizes the usage of terms and language that different philosophers use, insisting that they create confusion for the understating of their true message. Ryle also insists philosophers…

amounts of morphological characteristics that failed to meet the modern classifications of anthropoids. Still large disagreements present day if Darwinius is actually an ancestor to anthropoids. Eosimias have also been largely debated if they belong as ancestors to anthropoids as well. It has been identified as a very primitive anthropoid (Fleagle 397). Later discovered fossils have put trouble tension on its classification. An example would be the petrosal bone closely resembled omomyid with…

orientation can be described as "the categories of people to whom we are sexually attracted - as a form of personal and community identity" (Witt 302). Sexual orientation can be classified into three basic categories. Heterosexual people are the first classification. Humans who are drawn romantically and sexually to people of the opposite sex are heterosexual. For example, males are attracted to females and females are drawn to males. Homosexuals are the second category. Homosexuals are humans…

Your views: This case is of noticeable significance largely due to the fact that it established a new standard for reviewing gender classifications: Intermediate scrutiny. I felt that the additional…

type of neural tube defect. It is characterized by a herniation of the brain and meninges through a structural weakness in the bony structures of the skull (Tirumandas et al, 2013). There are four classifications of encephaloceles: frontoethmoidal, basal, occipital, and cranial vault. Classifications are based on the type of defect and its location on the skull. Nasal or frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are the most common. Pathophysiology Although poorly understood, there are different…

lead to the order of the insect. This method worked well and was time efficient. An improvement that could’ve been made to help in the classification of insects was using several sources. Extra sources that could’ve been used include a field guide or other credited websites. This would’ve helped me in classifying my bugs as I could’ve double checked my classification with other sources. My recommendations to future students would be to use two Dichotomous Keys for each insect. This would help…

and Gender," the sixth chapter of Ann Oakley’s 1972 book Sex, Gender, and Society. In the chapter, Oakley discusses the difference between sex and gender. Oakley defines sex as a biological differences, male and female, and gender as a cultural classification, masculine and feminine. The purpose of this report is to assess on this chapter.
