DISCUSSION ESSAY

This discussion question is worth 50 points. As you study for your quiz this week, reflect back on what you have learned during this course. Discuss 1-2 concepts you learned in the material from this week.

1.The sense of smell, called olfaction, is made possible by paired olfactory organs. These olfactory organs, which are located in the nasal cavity on either side of the nasal septum, contain olfactory sensory neurons.2. The human olfactory system can discriminate between, or make subtle distinctions among, 2000–4000 chemical stimuli. Yet, our olfactory sensitivities cannot compare with those of other vertebrates such as dogs, cats, or fishes.

Then think back over the wealth of material covered in weeks 1-6 and discuss 3-4 major concepts you learned about.

1. Anchoring Proteins. Anchoring proteins attach the plasma membrane to other structures and stabilize its position. Inside the cell, membrane proteins are bound to the cytoskeleton, a network of supporting filaments in the cytoplasm. Outer membrane proteins may attach the cell to extracellular protein fibers or to another cell. 2. Anchoring Proteins. Anchoring proteins attach the plasma membrane to other structures and stabilize its position. Inside the cell, membrane proteins are bound to the cytoskeleton, a network of supporting filaments in the cytoplasm. Outer membrane proteins may attach the cell to extracellular protein fibers or to another cell. 3. Skeletal muscle fibers are quite different from the “typical” cells we described in Chapter 3. One obvious difference is size: Compared to other cells, skeletal muscle fibers are enormous. A muscle fiber from a thigh muscle could have a diameter of 100 μ m and a length up to 30 cm (12 in.). 4.

These items should be well-thought-out. Your reflection should be a minimum of 275 words.

Choose one of the specific brain structures found in figure 14-1 of your textbook. Explain how this part of the brain is connected both functionally and structurally to other parts of the brain. Give a thorough explanation of the function of this structure of the brain.

Week 6 The Brain and CNS

Purpose : Demonstrate comprehension of the anatomy and physiology of the brain and cranial nerves.

Post: This week’s initial discussion post should be a written 300 to 600 word response.There are two parts to this submission:

Part 1: Choose one of the specific brain structures found in figure 14-1 of your textbook. Explain how this part of the brain is connected both functionally and structurally to other parts of the brain. Give a thorough explanation of the function of this structure of the brain.

Part 2: In the Meet Your Master – Getting to Know Your Brain ” https://youtu.be/vHrmiy4W9C0 ” there is a story about a man that had a metal rod go through his face (and brain) and yet survived. Explain how someone could have such a traumatic brain injury, but still survive. In addition, explain what would happen if a similar accident (trauma) were to happen to the brain structure you chose in part 1.

Address each part of the initial post in two separate paragraphs.

Choose one cranial nerve. Give its name and correct cranial nerve number. Explain where it connects to the brain, and what would happen if it was unable to transmit action potentials.

Week 6 Nervous Tissue, The Brain and The Cranial Nerves

Purpose

Demonstrate comprehension of the anatomy and physiology of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, the brain, and the cranial nerves.

Post

There are two parts to this discussion post.

  • Part 1: Choose one of the major regions of the brain (e.g. brainstem, diencephalon, cerebrum) and explain the structures and functions of the various components that comprise that region of the brain.
  • Part 2: Choose one cranial nerve. Give its name and correct cranial nerve number. Explain where it connects to the brain, and what would happen if it was unable to transmit action potentials. Then briefly research a real-life disease or condition that might lead to that cranial nerve being non-functional. Share your findings and cite the resource you used for this.

Individuals who are anemic generally do not exhibit an increase in respiratory rate or tidal volume, even though their blood is not carrying enough oxygen. Why?
You spend a winter night at a friends house. Your friends home is quite old, and the hot-air furnace lacks a humidifier. When you wake up in the morning, you have a fair amount of nasal congestion and decide you might be coming down with a cold. After you take a steamy shower and drink some juice for breakfast, the nasal congestion disappears. Explain.
