The most affected system is the nervous system. It is the nervous system because when you receive a concussion your brain is pushed up against your skull. The brain transports messages to other parts of your body and since your brain is injured you are most likely to have trouble reacting to things and may not feel as much pain as you usually would. Two important parts of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, are located in or near the brain. Traumatic brain injures…
The definition of an absolute monarchy is a form of government where the one person rules the entire country. The monarchy is in control of everything in “their” country. In rare occasions a person called an advisor with help the Monarch make a decision. The rulers are hereditary, which means the power is passed on from generation to generation. Famous leaders from an Absolute Monarchy are Charles I, Frederick William, James VI, Louis XIV of France. That means you don’t get to vote or choose who…
this with his first patient Mike Webster, who was one of the best centers of all time. While examining Webster’s brain, he found that “persistent head injuries sustained in football play shake up the brain” (Ebert). This causes damage to the brain because human brains do not have shock absorbers and release proteins after each blow to the head causing head trauma. This caused Dr. Omalu to deepen his study as more dead patients came in. As his research starts to get out “his findings elicit from…
effectiveness of headgear is not simple. For instance, O’Sullivan and Fife (2016) state that “Our results display that increases in the thickness of headgear padding did not always correspond with a reduction in head acceleration” (p. 6). Ultimately, current headgear is not efficient in preventing head trauma for amateur athletes. Reason…
Concussions are a medical condition that are a very serious condition. According to WebMD, “a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that this caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that shakes the brain”. Most people don’t even show symptoms of a concussion if they got one. Some people do show obvious symptoms of having a concussion like passing out or forgetting some information about how they got the concussion. There is no time table on when you will recover…
It was three in the morning, which wasn’t really different from any other night, for April Savige, anyway. April, for some reason, loved staying up late, even though she usually had to get up at six thirty. What she loved staying up for was something lots of people would call pointless: fanfiction. Fanfiction was a type of writing fans of a work wrote instead of the real creator of the work. No one knew who the ‘creator’ of fanfiction was, but a few people had… guesses. “Oh my gods, Perce, you…
I have chosen the project option Speech Styles of the comedian Kristen Wiig. The reason I decided to pick her as my topic was because I thought it would be interesting to see how different and how similar she is in the Californian skit when compared to her everyday life. In this paper, idiolect differences, phonological differences, and non-verbal communications between Kristen Wiig’s Californians Skits from Saturday Night Live, will be discussed when compared to her interview from the show…
He played along, as she knew he would, and it prompted an even wider smile mixed with smirk from her. She'd come a long way since her childhood and Nebraska, sometimes she wondered what her grandpa would think of the Isabella Viore she grew into. Part of her thought he'd be in disbelief that people follow her with cameras and her face was so well-known, but a better part of her knew he always expected her to do great things. Getting the back of her hand kissed as fans looked on just felt…
The importance of restricting presidential power in Korea was undeniably proven during the often-brutal regimes that ruled the South before 1987. This was especially prominent during the terms of Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-Hwan, the latter of which was responsible for the infamous Gwangju Massacre in 1980. The origins of these regimes, however, began in the establishment of the 1948 constitution, which in the words of Yeh “…adopted a presidential system that failed to provide sufficient checks…
Pthirus pubis, also known as pubic lice or crab louse, is an ectoparasite, which is strictly host specific to humans. Pubic lice have three stages: egg, nymph, and adult (CDC, 2017). Pubic lice targets coarse hair at its base and normally remain on its host until it is removed, controlled, or treated. Initially, the female will lay two to three eggs, also known as nits, over the course of twenty-four hours (CDC, 2017). The nits have a whitish in color and have an oval-like structure, with an…
