Select all of the true statements:
| a. |
prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland causes milk to be produced, whereas, oxytocin from the posterior pituitary causes the let-down reflex. |
|
| b. |
The umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood. |
|
| c. |
The allantois is the main source of nutrition for the embryo and forms the earliest blood cells and blood vessels. |
|
| d. |
The trophoblast gives rise to the chorion, which will be baby's portion of the placenta. |
|
| e. |
The decidua basalis forms mom's portion of the placenta. |
|
| f. |
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the trophoblast. |
|
| g. |
The umbilical cord contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein. |
|
| h. |
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is similar to LH in that it causes the corpus luteum to change into the corpus albicans which will then produce progesterone to maintain the stratum functionalis. |

) The ileac blade provides attachment areas for the Gluteus medius and Gluteus minimus muscles. They “originate” here; they “insert” into the neck and lateral trochanter of the femur, and when they contract, they pull in more or less a straight line between their origin and their insertion (the origins and insertions are marked on the cast of a full human skeleton; you can also see them on the figures in the study guide). Look again at the shape and orientation of the ileac blade, and also look at the chimpanzee skeleton and that of a human and compare how the ileum is oriented with respect to the spinal column. In which is it along/parallel to the spinal column? What is its relative placement and orientation in the other? In which direction would these muscles pull a chimpanzee’s leg when they contract? What motion do you think they cause when they contract in humans?

6. Answer the question posed in Gioia’s “Reflections”: is a person behaving unethically if the situation was not even constructed in ethical terms -- if there was no ethical awareness?
7. Who should make the decision about taking risks with others’ lives in designing products?
9. How do you feel about the use of cost-benefit analysis where human life is part of the cost calculations? Might the infusion of moral language have changed the decision-makers’ thinking? For example, what if decision-makers had talked about their responsibility for killing 180 human beings?
10. given that all automobiles are unsafe to some degree, where do you draw the line on product safety? How safe is safe enough – and who decides?

2. Although vitamins and minerals are vital for the proper functioning of human cells, excess intake of certain vitamins and minerals can have deleterious consequences in the human body. Suppose you were to ingest all vitamins and minerals daily, but in slightly excessive amounts each day, over a long period of time.
Which effects would you expect to observe first: those of an excessive intake of watersoluble vitamin, or those of an excessive intake of a fat-soluble vitamin, or those of excessive intake of a mineral? Briefly explain your reasoning.
Which effects would you expect to be easier to reverse: those of an excessive intake of water-soluble vitamin, or those of an excessive intake of a fat-soluble vitamin, or those of excessive intake of a mineral? Briefly explain your reasoning.

The primary motor cortex is located in the frontal lobe. |
||
|
The diencephalon is composed of two structures, the cerebral cortex and the thalamus. |
||
|
Sensory information from the skin of the big toe is relayed via ascending spinal tracts to the primary motor cortex |
||
|
Both a) and b) are correct and c) is incorrect. |
||
|
a), b) and c) are all correct. |
Human sensory systems (select the MOST CORRECT statement):
|
Sensory information for both vision and touch is relayed to separate regions of the cerebral cortex, but in both cases relies on ascending spinal tracts to reach the brain. |
||
|
The location of a stimulus such as touch is coded by the amplitude of the action potentials in the afferent neuron. |
||
|
Baroreceptors in the aortic arch respond to changes in blood pressure that are sensed by mechanoreceptors. |

People generally tend to have strong feelings about the existential, humanistic and positive psychology approaches. Some consider them more holistic because they can embrace the more spiritual and esoteric aspects of the human condition. Others consider them unstructured and unscientific.
What do you think?
Discuss
Post a thoughtful and reflective argument explaining the advantages and the disadvantages of the existential, humanistic and positive approaches to studying personality. Be thorough and give specific detail.
You may draw on the material in the text, but make sure to add your own thoughts and ideas about the perspectives in this module. How do they contribute to a better understanding of human personality and behavior? How do they fall short in doing so? How are they useful? Are they potentially damaging in any circumstances?
