These oils are often characterized by very distinct odors, and are dependent on a certain degree of stereochemistry found in a particular molecule. Many of these essential oils belong to a class of compounds called terpenes. When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Terpenes are made of two or more five carbon units, named isoprene. Limonene, the chief component of orange oil, is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring, as well as a cleaning solvent.
Parietal cells (secrete HCI) and gastric glands (acetylcholine) are directly related to the formation of ulcers. D. Why does Zach’s G.I. tract need the substance that contributes to the formation of ulcers? How is this substance secreted by cells within the gastric pits? d. Zach’s G.I.
Week 5 Forum Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date The amygdala and hippocampus are the main parts of the brain whose responsibility is the regulation of memory. The amygdala is divided into two, the right and left hemispheres. The right hemisphere is responsible for negative emotions like fear and sadness while the left hemisphere induces both the pleasant and unpleasant emotions when stimulated. These hemispheres have independent memory systems but they work together to encode, store and interpret information. The hippocampus on the other side is responsible for the production of corticosteroids (chemicals that produce physiological responses to stimuli).
Learning Activity Unit 2 Study Guide: Senses and Perception Senses 1. List the five senses and the area of the brain where each is processed. a. Smell- receptor neurons in the frontal lobe b. Taste- brain stem c. Touch- parietal lobe d. Sight- occipital lobe e. Hearing- temporal lobe 2. Explain the purpose of the sensory organs and how they send messages to the brain. • Sensory organs function as receptors and receive the stimuli, then it sends nerve impulses to the related effectors.
Diatoms are type of algae , found in toothpaste, they can be classified into two groups called centric and pennate. Finally there are protozoa which are single celled and can cause diseases such as malaria and sleep sickness. (www.enviroliteracy.org/article.php/317.html ) As do we, microorganisms under go normal life functions. Although they are so tiny they still could reproduce, and carry out processes, such as excretion, respiration and regulation. They have their own way of moving called locomotion and different types of structures.
The parietal lobe receives sensory input for the sense of touch. The Occipital lobe is used for vision. Lastly, the temporal lobe is used for the sense of hearing or other auditory words. C) The lobe that processes the words we here is would be the temporal lobe. D) The lobe that processes what we see is the occipital
SENSORY PROCESS AND PERCEPTION Introduction to Sensation and Perception Although intimately related, sensation and perception play two complimentary but different roles in how we interpret our world. Sensation refers to the process of sensing our environment through touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell. This information is sent to our brains in raw form where perception comes into play. Perception is the way we interpret these sensations and therefore make sense of everything around us. SENSATION Sensation is defined as the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.
Instead, axons from two groups of hypothalamic neurons - the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) – terminate in the posterior pituitary. These specialized neurons produce the hormones ADH (antidiuretic hormone), also known as vasopressin, and oxytocin. When a person becomes dehydrated, osmoreceptors in the brain trigger ADH release into the systemic circulation. ADH travels to the kidneys where it promotes water reuptake in the epithelial cells lining the collecting ducts. The exact mechanism of action of ADH remained obscure until 1990, when Peter Agre discovered a class of protein channels, now called aquaporins, which selectively allow water molecules to cross the cell membrane.
The main voice organs that the air pressure system is contained in are the diaphragm, chest muscles, ribs, abdominal muscles. In the Vibratory system, vocal folds vibrate, changing air pressure to sound waves producing "voiced sound," frequently described as a "buzzy sound" the frequency of the vibrations depend on the pitch sang. The vibratory system is contained inside of the voice box also known as the larynx. The resonating system changes the "buzzy sound" into a person's recognizable voice. The resonating system is located in the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavities.
TOK assessment: Evaluate the strengths & weaknesses of sense perception as a way of knowing Perception can be defined as one’s opinion and/or one’s interpretation. One form of perception is sense perception. Sense perception is based on the usage of our five senses. The five senses being the ability to taste, touch, hear, see and smell. Taste helps us to define things we eat into categories such as sweet, sour, bitter etc.
