An individual finds himself infected by a previously undiscovered pathogen, Transmissio.

Mention through what conduit soluble or mobile immune factors reach and interact with the pathogen.

An individual finds himself infected by a previously undiscovered pathogen, Transmissio (this is what my teacher put)

What is the body’s initial response? What are the long term effects?-be detailed

Compare and contrast excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic potentials. In your answer, address the following:

1. How are they generated?
2. What is the outcome?
3. How might their size or strength be increased or decreased?
4. Why might you want to modify synaptic strength? Provide a mechanism.

While walking in the snow, Jim falls and lands awkwardly on his head. Jim goes to hospital, but Jim’s doctor cannot explain why Jim fell. You are asked to investigate everything that Jim was doing before the accident, to try to find a cause for the fall.

After all his tests, doctors are now thinking that Jim’s endocrine system may be involved.  

1. Describe the overall function(s) of the i) nervous and ii) endocrine systems.
2. List the different types of cells you expect to find in the i) nervous and ii) endocrine systems.
3. Do the cells in the i) nervous and ii) endocrine systems generate action potentials? Briefly differentiate between the two systems and justify your response in the context of the overall function of each system.  
4. Is it possible that Jim may have taken a drug or unusual ions in an electrolyte solution that affects the electrical activity in the cells of the i) nervous and ii) endocrine systems? Clearly describe (with an example) how this could occur.

1. In humans, darker skin color is adaptive at latitudes near the equator (where ultraviolet light is most intense) because UV light

stimulates synthesis of folic acid 

causes breakdown of folic acid 

stimulates synthesis of vitamin D 

causes breakdown of vitamin D

2. In humans, lighter skin color is adaptive at latitudes far from the equator because UV light

stimulates synthesis of folic acid 

causes breakdown of folic acid 

stimulates synthesis of vitamin D 

causes breakdown of vitamin D

In capillary beds, there is mass movement of fluids and molecules into and out of capillary beds. For movement of fluids, simple diffusion is not sufficient and two pressure-based mechanisms are utilized.

1. Describe the action of the competing forces driving filtration of fluids in a capillary bed.
2. Describe the action of the competing forces driving reabsorption of fluids in a capillary bed.
3. Predict how physiological changes in the capillary beds in response to an increase in body temperature restores homeostasis.

The immune system has two overlapping branches used to destroy pathogens.

1. Describe briefly how these two branches respond differently upon detection of a pathogen.
2. Describe how mature, functional T cells recognize antigens.
3. In the T cell tolerance process, is a thymocyte that recognize self antigens able to successively differentiate and leave the thymus as a mature, functional T cell? Explain the importance of having T cells go through this maturation process.

An average adult has approximately 5L of blood. Because there is not enough blood to for equal distribution to all tissues simultaneously, blood flow is continuously redistributed to more active tissues.

1. Identify a specific organ in which blood supply remains relatively unchanged despite changes in activity level.
2. Describe the effect of exercise on vascular homeostasis.
3. Describe the mechanism by which the body attempts to restore homeostasis when an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures. Be sure to include the stimulus, effector, target organs, and effect.

As health care workers we need to be aware of disease prevalence and statistics affecting our community and individuals. One of the functional roles of a Health Information Technician is to be knowledgeable of the many disease processes, causes, prevention, and treatment to ensure healthy outcomes. The World Health Organization (WHO) is an important and factual resource that provides yearly statistics as well as guidelines to prevent and decrease the mortality of diseases and their processes.
Access the World Health Organization website and choose a topic that interests you or one you feel is of great concern in the United States. Write a discussion post that supports your choice with ONE pertinent fact, risk factor (s), common symptom(s), and way(s) of prevention. Your original post must be at least 250 words

Please fill out the Internal structures of the heart

1a) True or false: A heavier weight lifter will have a more impressive absolute value for power output than someone smaller lifting smaller weight.

1b) True or false: Relative terms allow us to better assess an individual's personal fitness than an individual's personal fitness than absolute terms.

Please write in 300 words: Substances that should NOT be found in urine What are a couple of substances that should not be found in urine? For each of these substances, why is it problematic if they are found to be present in a urine sample?

1. Not counting the auditory ossicles (tiny bones in the ear), the typical adult human skull consists of how many bones?

2. Which of the following bone marking is considered a type of depression?

3.

Which of the following bones is unpaired?

4. How many bones contribute to each orbit of the skull?

Many deadly diseases of the past are no longer a threat due to the development and use of vaccinations. Describe the mechanism and purpose of immunization vaccines and booster shots. Include the specific cells and processes involved. Describe the type of immune response and antibodies represented with vaccinations. Be sure to include an application.
