A/ Focus your Attention on the following procedure:
Infection occurs when an organism enters the body and starts to grow. Dis-ease only occurs if the organism starts to multiply and produce symptoms. Our bodies have tremendous capacity to fight off organisms. When the protective mechanisms fail or are compromised, dis-eases occur. The most dangerous organisms are those that are virulent and contagious. Organisms…
The hypothalamus is the small cone-shaped structure that plays a central role in controlling our ANS. It is also responsible for regulating homeostatic metabolic processes in the body, such as sleeping, appetite, thirst, blood pressure, body temperature, and electrolyte balance. It controls the nervous system by regularly releasing neuro-hormones. Located under the thalamus, it interacts…
I DON’T KNOW… Often the tone will shift when you show additional interest. Neutral Prompts are more practical than sophisticated questions, because they are non-threatening. A question like “HOW do you mean” is one of the most effective ways to find out what people are thinking and feeling. How do you mean is very different…
The Sugar inside DNA is called a Deoxy-ribose, while the sugar in RNA is called a Ribose. The phosphate groups attach to the 3rd (3’) and the 5th (5’) carbon atom of each sugar. One strand has a 5′ (prime) > 3′ (prime) direction; the other a 3′ prime > 5′ prime direction. This has…
Rhinovirus 3 This virus causes most common colds, with no known cure. The name comes from the Greek rhin- which means nose. The three surface viral proteins are differentiated by color: blue, yellow, pink. This special rendering is along the 5-fold or pentagonal icosahedral symmetry axis. The small spheres are the atoms making up the…
Aversive stimuli that provoke action responses activate the brain’s punishment (pain) circuit which enables us to cope with unpleasant situations. It includes brain structures, such as the hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, and insular cortex. The Peri-Ventricular System (PVS) or punishment circuit, functions by means of acetylcholine, which stimulates the secretion of adrenal cortico-trophic hormone (ACTH)….
