flight response in the presence of a perceived threat, and the primary organ involved in this is process is the adrenal medulla (Everly & Lating, 2013). Next, at the time of this publication, researchers had identified that the dorsomedial amygdlar complex as the utmost point for which the fight or flight response occurred (Everly & Lating, 2013). Originating there, neural impulses subsequently travel to the hypothalamic region, then the thoracic spinal cord, convene at the celiac ganglion,…
ability to see for granted. We rarely think about what process our eyes and brain must complete in order to view something as simple as a movie or lecture slide. In fact, such a small part of our anatomy is made of greatly complex procedures The operation system of the eye is very complex and one can easily stray from track when discussing how the eye works. First, the cornea is a part of the physical eye that helps reflect and bend light in a way that makes it possible for it to pass through…
eight planets within our solar system; Nine, if you consider Pluto to be a planet. When we, as an average audience, look at the Saturn we automatically think that it’s that one planet with the the ring around it. Some people even assume that it’s the one and only planet with a ring about it. Those people would be wrong. Saturn is one of four planets that have rings in their orbit. The other three would include Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. The sixth planet in our solar system definitely has the…
Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. It is the agent of listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria (Todar, 2008). The disease primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, new born, and adults with weakened immune systems. Babies can be born with listeriosis if their mothers eat contaminated food during pregnancy. However, healthy people may consume contaminated foods without becoming ill. Listeria monocytogenes is commonly found in soil and water.…
Potential planetary targets that have potential to be explored by NASA with manned or robotic missions have been categorized according to this system. Those of the least concern with planetary protection measures include asteroids and the moon of Jupiter Io (4). This is because they have been deemed by NASA as being not important for determining the chemical and evolutionary origins of life.…
this book she contends that Europe’s world economic system that developed after Columbus’ stumbled upon the Americas was not a new and original structure. The artifacts and sources from origins through the year 1500 that have been uncovered reveal that a roughly balanced, interdependent world economic system was fully developed before 1492, affirming Dr. Janet Abu-Lughod’s thesis. The…
Vaccines for the longest time have been under scrutiny, for their alleged correlation with autism and other bad side effects while also having been credited for eradicated or largely eradicated many infectious diseases. The issue even came up during a recent Republican presidential debate. Under all that scrutiny the real question would be: Are vaccines more helpful or harmful? To really understand the answer to this question, one has to look at certain facts. For example, what exactly are…
discover just what the origin of comets is while understanding just what the relationship between comets and the interstellar material they disburse during flight of which is considered by many is regarded by many, to be the origin of the entire Solar System. “Stardust ,”will be the first spacecraft to witness, at close proximity, how a comet changes as it approaches the increasing intensity of the Sun’s radiation. The comet’s atmosphere was expected at this time to go in a coma state and…
The skeletal system includes the skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, pectoral and pelvic girdle, and the upper and lower limbs. The skeletal system is made up of two different regions, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (see Figure 1, Appendix A) The average baby is born with 270 bones which fuse together as they age and decrease to about 206 bones by late teens, early twenties. The skeletal system provides support, protection, production, storage (Saladin, 2015). The Skull…
had figured out something about Ginger….”(79-80). Brian was able to logically reason through what was going on between Rex and Ginger, and he was able to put the missing pieces of the puzzle together. This ability to logically reason through such a complex and mature situation would help Brian to survive the Hunger Games because he would be able to work through and logically…
