With all our discussion on COVID-19, I only consider appropriate to share this article (Links to an external site.). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2). Cases can progress to pneumonia and multi-organ failure. After discussing the anatomy and physiology of the mammalian respiratory organs, explain why there is currently a national health emergency in terms of the effect it can have on the health of individuals.

1. Describe the four different ways that heat exchange can occur between an organism and its environment. Include an explanation of how insulation, circulatory adaptations (countercurrent exchange), evaporative cooling, behavioral responses, and adjustment of metabolic heat production can help an organism balance heat loss and gain.
2. Compare and contrast the dental, stomach, intestinal, and mutualistic adaptations of the vertebrate digestive system based on the type of diet consumed.

4. Through the process of sensory transduction, we change incoming sensory information into messages that our brain can process. Two cell types that transduce information are Pacinian corpuscles and Inner Hair Cells.
(a) What type of sensory information are each of these cells sensitive to (be more specific than touch and hearing)?
(b) List and describe two aspects of the process of sensory transduction that are similar across these cell types
(c) List and describe two aspects of the process of sensory transduction that are different across these cell types. Note: Similarities cannot include 1) the fact that both transduce information. Differences cannot include 1) a restatement of the different types of energy that are processed, 2) that these are in different sensory organs.
5. Action potentials are an all-or-none signal, yet our neurons must code for complex sensory information. Please list and describe two methods by which neurons code for incoming sensory information. In your description, you must relate the coding methods to actual theories of how we process information from one or more of our sensory systems.

Describe ecological concepts as they apply to the human microbiome and how they frame comparisons between samples, groups of samples etc. How would you use these concepts to design the next set of studies following the infant microbiome. I expect you to do some legwork beyond your readings to comprehensively answer this question
