SENSE- is the ability to perceive stimuli. SENSATION (PERCEPTION)- is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. GENERAL SENSES- are those with receptors distributed over a large part of the body. SOMATIC SENSES- provides sensory information about the body and the environment. VISCERAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure and are localized to specific parts of the body such as pain and pressure. SPECIAL SENSES- are more specialized in structure such as smell

INSERT TITLE AND WORD COUNT In the last century‚ there have been a number of discoveries regarding the treatment of human disease and genetic conditions. The current on-going research is in the field of gene therapy‚ an experimental technique that uses genes to treat and replace the defective genes of an affected person. Instead of treating disease symptoms‚ this has the potential to correct the underlying cause (1). Besides its high costs and ethical concerns (therapy involving germ line treatment)

for Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis‚ also called CF‚ is the most common life threatening disorder in the US. It is an inherited disease of the secretory glands (National Blood‚ Heart and Lung Institute‚ 2013). Affecting about 30‚000 people‚ it is an autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (National Blood‚ Heart and Lung Institute‚ 2013). Usually diagnosed at a young age‚ CF causes the mucus‚ sweat and digestive fluids to become thick

Lab 2: Animal and Plant Cells Purpose: To examine the differences between single cell and multi cell organisms in terms of Animal and Plant cells. Question: What are the differences between multi and single celled plant and animal organisms? Prediction: Spirogyra Cell: The parts of the spirogyra cell that will be visible under the microscope will be; cell wall‚ cell membrane‚ nucleus‚ chloroplasts‚ vacuole and cytoplasm. Banana Cell: The parts of the banana cell that will be visible

platelet aggregations‚ several fibrinous clots were found in the lungs‚ liver‚ and kidneys. The liver epithelia showed nuclear fat-free vacuoles. Several small cystic blood-filled pools were scattered throughout the liver parenchyma‚ partly lined with epithelium (Hausmann‚ Hammer‚ and Betz‚ 1998). A lot of the medical problems that were found on the body are some of the side effects of PEDs. The body builder the night before he died took a cocktail of drugs commonly used by body builders as a pre-workout

HOME REMEDIES FOR COUGH AND COLD My Remedy The common cold is the most common human disease globally affected both men and women. Not to mention that in the Philippines there were clinical studies and evidences that number of incidences was increasing not just in big cities but also in rural and far flung areas. In such‚ as student researcher I would like to personally identify my own basic home remedy just to alleviate crisis brought by this most common

The ear is an organ of the body that is used for hearing and balance. It is connected to the brain by the auditory nerve and is composed of three divisions‚ the external ear‚ the middle ear‚ and the inner ear. The greater part of which is enclosed within the temporal bone. The ear is looked upon as a miniature receiver‚ amplifier and signal-processing system. The structure of the outer ear catching sound waves as they move into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then hit the eardrum

Classification of receptors: -Stimulus modality: sensation it produces Thermoreceptors: heat and cold. Photoreceptors: eyes‚ light. Chemoreceptors: chemicals‚ odors‚ taste‚ body fluid composition. Nociceptors: pain receptors. Mechanoreceptors: hearing‚ physical deformation of a cell or tissue caused by vibration‚ touch‚ pressure and stretch. -Origin of the stimulus Exteroceptors: sense stimuli external to the boy. They include the receptors for vision‚ hearing‚ taste‚ cutaneous sensation

testing would be because of greed. “skin corrosivity and irritation can be easily measured using three-dimensional human skin equivalent systems such as EpiDerm and SkinEthic. Additional alternatives include EpiSkin (a model of reconstructed human epithelium) and a variety of sophisticated‚ computer-based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) models that predict skin corrosivity and irritation by means of correlating a new drug or chemical with its likely activity‚ properties‚ and effects
