Parallel fiber

the field of amyloids, over the time. Based on years of research, scientists are now able to deduce and define amyloids as structural entities with some hallmark characteristics. Next section elaborates very fine ultra-structural details of amyloid fibers based on knowledge accumulated over the timeline of research on amyloids. 2.2. Many Faces of Amyloid Structures: Strengths, Challenges, and…

showed “vegetarians were about 40% less likely to develop cancer compared to meat eaters”. Likewise a Harvard study “showed that daily meat eaters have approximately three times the colon cancer risk compared to those who rarely eat meat” which runs parallel to M.D. Michael Greger’s opinion that is ”I think the most interesting finding in the new Harvard studies is that…they still found increased mortality risk”. Does that mean meat eaters will get cancer and vegetarians will not? By no means,…

The Relationship between Calf Sizes, Gender, and Vertical Jumps Laura Thompson Mikaela Toler, Cassandra Jenkins, Kionna Calloway BSC 228-202 Introduction A human leg is made of many muscles that affect a person’s ability to jump. For example, the gastrocnemius, soleus, quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and abdominal muscles all help a person achieve a vertical jump. (McCollum, 2015). So, in other words, it basically takes the entire lower body to jump, not just the calf. This lab’s goal, however,…

I. Introduction: The purpose of the case study is to determine which of the patient’s cranial nerve(s) are damaged. The human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory…

Prefrontal and transorbital lobotomy was a commonly used treatment to cure madness during the mid 1900’s. This invasive procedure was tested on as many as 50,000 institutionalized mad patients. This was a desperate procedure, and was only used when all other forms of treatment failed. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding this horrific procedure. Where the cure rates after this procedure were not as high as everyone thought, and the terrible risks that can come from getting a lobotomy. When…

In the Paleolithic Era, humans survived by using stones, bones, and other natural products to make tools. Also, leather and vegetable fibers had been usage to early humans society; however due to their nature these haven’t been preserved to any great degree. Not to mention, humans gather plant products, trapping small animals, and hunting large preys for food. During this time, humans grouped together in small societies such as band and subsisted. Living with larger groups would had been…

Bench Press – The bench press’s movements consist of a push away from your body which would be the concentric phase, the lockout could be the isometric phase, and the return of the barbell to your body would be the eccentric phase. Another possible isometric phase would be if you paused mid-repetition. Usually our muscles create the most force on the eccentric portion of a lift, which is the case in the bench press as well. This is why negative training can be so beneficial. Deadlift–The…

intervertebral disk of the spine); and diarthrosis (a freely movable joint i.e. knee, elbow, wrist, and shoulder). Joints may also be classified structurally based on the components in the joint these may include: fibrous joints consisting of tough collagen fibers; cartilaginous joints made up of a band of cartilage binding bones (i.e. joint between the ribs and costal cartilage); and synovial joint (synovial membrane lining the capsule produces fluid lubricating the joint and decreasing…

in total fat, saturated fat, and sodium and higher in fiber. Nonetheless, such changes would be divergent to some traditional African American social and cultural practices. The discernment that African American diet habits were distinctively and characteristically adaptive to external conditions, advise that, for compelling dietary change in African-American communities, changes in food accessibility will need to precede or happen in parallel with changes suggested to individuals. Cultural…

1. Bolte-Taylor was interested in studying the human brain because she had a brother with schizophrenia. She wanted to understand why she could take her dreams and connect with reality, but why her brother’s brain who had schizophrenia could not connect his dreams to a common and shared reality. Bolte-Taylor dedicated her career to research into the severe mental illness. 2. Bolte-Taylor suffered a stroke on the morning of December 10, 1996, after recently traveled as an advocate for mental…
