In a functioning human eye, light enters the human eye through the lense and reaches the retina. What does the retina interpret or record the light as and what type of message does it convert it into?
1N - Part 2
In regard to the above, where does the retina send the message it converts light into to, and through which nerve does it send it?
1N - Part 3
If a person’s eye is damaged in a way that obstructs light from reaching the retina, what impact can this have on their sight?
1N - Part 4
Briefly explain how the sense of sight contributes to a person’s sense of equilibrium?
1N - Part 5
What are the hair-like structures in the nasal cavity that contribute to the human sense of smell called?
1N - Part 6
In regard to the above, explain what these hair-like structures do when they sense odour in order to allow humans to have a sense of smell?
1N - Part 7
What other sense does human’s sense of smell enhance?
1N - Part 8

Tom is a 36 year-old businessman that likes to compete in outdoor, high-intensity fitness events every few months. Between the events, he performs workouts with a mix of strength and cardiovascular training 4-5 days per week. Tom recently went to a physical therapist because he was experiencing discomfort in both knees when he ran or performed lunges and squats. The physical therapist discovered weakness in his hips' abductors and external rotators. The physical therapist discharged Tom and sent him to you to strengthen those muscle groups.
For your assignment, fill out the movement analysis form for a one-arm dumbbell row. What are the common compensations you might see, and how will you cue the client to correct each one? Your answer should be at least 250 words.
The movement analysis includes:
step 1: divide exercise into eccentric//concentric movements
step 2: identify all critical events

Question Set A: Thad has symptoms of Addison's disease (low cortisol). Blood tests confirm that Thad's cortisol secretion is sub-normal. 1. What 3 organs could potentially be malfunctioning? 2. How can we figure out which of the above organs is malfunctioning? Make a chart showing the predictions of blood hormone levels for each possibility. 3. His CRH and ACTH are elevated. Where is the source of the problem? 4. What other hormone/s might also be depressed, knowing there is an insufficiency at this gland? Predicts some other symptoms he might have, based on the other possible deficiency/ies. 5. For each of the above hormones, does it bind an internal or external receptor? |
