After resting for two minutes‚ I rubbed the index finger for the second time on the same sandpaper. After conducting the experiment for the first time‚ the sand paper felt very rough. The rating was at six. The second time‚ the sandpaper was not as course as

Physical and Psychological Outcomes due to Sport Participation Sport specialization is defined as intense training and focus on one sport while not participating in others (Jayanthi‚ Pinkham‚ Dugas‚ Patrick‚ & LaBella‚ 2012). Early specialization in sports contain numerous aspects that children undergo as they participate in sports‚ such as high levels of training at a younger age‚ minimal rest or time off and participation in multiple sports. Children participating at an early age in one sport can

Specialization and Organization in Legal Services Project Description Luis Garicano and Thomas Hubbard December 6‚ 2001 Since Adam Smith’s famous ‘pin factory’ fable‚ economists have been preoccupied with the role that specialization and the division of labor play in economic growth. Surprisingly‚ however‚ this recognition of the fundamental impact that specialization plays in economic growth has not led to much systematic empirical work on the organization of specialization. In

In sport‚ specialization is key to an athlete who desires to excel in their preferred sport. Yet on the other hand‚ when an athlete chooses to specialize they sacrifice the risk of injury‚ psychological burnout‚ and the idea is it truly worth it to specialize. By definition sports specialization is when an athlete devotes at least eight months of the year training‚ and only participates in the given sport as well as they would’ve started at a younger age. (Ried‚ 2017). An athlete in a high

In cell biology and Pathophysiology‚ cellular adaptation refers to changes made by a cell in response to adverse environmental changes.[1] The adaptation may be physiologic(al) (normal) or pathologic(al) (abnormal). Five major types of adaptation include atrophy‚ hypertrophy‚ hyperplasia‚ dysplasia‚ and metaplasia. Atrophy is a decrease in cell size. If enough cells in an organ atrophy the entire organ will decrease in size. Thymus atrophy during early human development (childhood) is an example

Nerve and neuron sound similar to most people‚ but they are two different components of the body (Martini‚ 375). Nerves are found only in the peripheral nervous system‚ while neurons are found in the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral nerve (Martini‚ 375). Neurons are nerves cells that are specialized for intercellular communication (Martini‚ 375). A neuron is composed of a cell body‚ dendrites and axon (Marieb‚ 376). A nerve is a bundle of axons or dendrites that is wrapped in connective tissues

Cellular adaptations occur in terms of: * size of the cells that are atrophy decrease in cell size due to decrease workload; and hypertrophy due to increase workload * number of the cells that is are hyperplasia(but this is one change) increase in the # of cells resulting due toform increase rate of cell division due to injury or hormones. * reversible change of one type of cell into another type of cell that is metaplasia occurs due to chronic inflammation and irritation. * disordered

Handout Lab 5 - Cranial Nerves: Assessment of Functions INTRODUCTION The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS receives sensory information from other parts of the body or the body’s external environment and transmits motor information to other parts of the body by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS of the human includes 31 pairs of spinal nerves and 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Some nerves contain only motor nerve fibers (efferent fibers);

A Review of Facial Nerve Anatomy Terence M. Myckatyn‚ M.D.1 and Susan E. Mackinnon‚ M.D.1 ABSTRACT An intimate knowledge of facial nerve anatomy is critical to avoid its inadvertent injury during rhytidectomy‚ parotidectomy‚ maxillofacial fracture reduction‚ and almost any surgery of the head and neck. Injury to the frontal and marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve in particular can lead to obvious clinical deficits‚ and areas where these nerves are particularly susceptible to injury
