B) List at least 2 functions of each organ that you chose. Physiology includes what the organ does, why the body needs it, and the jobs achieved by that organ related to serving the body as a whole in order to maintain health ~ such as ability to contract, digest, secrete, communicate, regulate, transport, clean, protect, etc. ~ functions are usually verbs (action words)

Pathophysiology of Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema (300words)

Consider the brain areas and connections pictured in the simplified basal ganglia circuit. Parkinson’s disease results from the degeneration of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Dopamine can inhibit or excite neurons in the putamen, a sub-division of the striatum. Describe how this damage causes a chain of effects on activity in other basal ganglia areas and the structures they ultimately output to, and how this results in hypokinesia (reduced movements) in two different ways. Make sure to refer differentially to the ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ pathways.
