A method that I am a fan of is to define ‘agent’ and then see if the subject will fit the definition. Agent as defined by our text book, is ‘A person who acts freely and knowingly’. Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’.

medial nerve, which is very common in those who use a keyboard and a mouse. When typing, finger should be in line with the forearms, not resting on the table. Use a gel keyboard pad, or even something like a towel. A way that we can prevent it from getting any worse is to use a keyboard pad, making sure that the desk is not too high for you, and not causing you to have your wrists completely rest flat on the desk in a prolonged extended position which would cause compression to the median nerve.…

For two months, as I followed every conceivable lead, Caulder grew nastier, fuming constantly about my incompetence. “What the fuck have you been doing with your time?” he bellowed. “Do you have any idea the flack the department will take, that I will take, if it comes out we killed a guitar player while trying to dispatch an ambassador’s daughter? I’m not letting you jeopardize my reputation—or my retirement.” “It’s not my fault. You taught her every trick she knows.” “She switched sides, Mark.…

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a hand injury which occurs at wrist joint and causes several problems at this joint, such as finger numbness, pain and muscle weakness. It happens as a result of compression of the median nerve which innervated thumb, index and middle finger (ASSH, 1990). This compression is caused by pattern of hand use, fracture at wrist joint and other medical conditions, for instance diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid arthritis (NHS, 2014). There are two ways to treat carpal…

THE SEVENTH CRANIAL NERVE Testing the Function of the Facial Nerve VII Anatomy & Physiology 203 November 15, 2014 Introduction: The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve of the peripheral nervous system that is the chief motor nerve of the face. It exits the brainstem between the pons and the medulla. The primary motor function is the control of the muscles of facial expressions and conveys impulses of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and mouth…

INTRODUCTION The lamina cribrosa (LC) within the scleral canal in the optic nerve head (ONH) is thought to be the primary site of axonal insult in glaucoma.1-3 It is of interest in glaucoma to understand the anatomy of the LC and surrounding tissues and how they change with aging and disease. LC has been investigated using a variety of methods, including histologic section,4,5 detergent digestion of surrounding tissues6,7 and finite element modeling.8,9 In human glaucomatous eyes, LC…
