What are at least three differences between apes and humans in the cranium and teeth?

 The following are key characteristics of ape skulls that human skulls do not have:

(1) Prognathic Jaws: A chimpanzee’s maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) protrude significantly. Typically, the bone from the nose to the tip of upper teeth extrudes out at about a 45 degree angle, whereas a line drawn from the nose to the chin of a typical human is vertical or concave.

(2) Large Brow Ridges above the eye sockets. Humans have negligible brow ridges.

(3) Absent or small laid back forehead: Apes lack significant vertical foreheads. Humans have large vertical foreheads, which provide room for the much larger frontal lobeof our brains. This is an important difference, as the large frontal lobe of the human brain allows us the ability to make decisions and solve problems. It also controls our behaviors, voluntary movements, emotions, and consciousness. Without a forehead, an animal would not have room for a large frontal lobe, and could not perform functions that differentiate animals from humans. The ability to make tools, improve on them, and the ability to remember how to make them, wouldn’t be possible without a forehead and large frontal lobe.

(4) Small Ovoid or Flat Cranium that houses their much smaller brains. Human adult craniums are about two to three times the volume of ape craniums. Ape craniums are narrower than the lateral extents of the eye sockets, whilst human craniums are far wider then the outer extend of their eye sockets.

The patient is receiving succinylcholine or commercially called anectine. 
Succinylcholine is a medication often used in the context of general anaesthesia and its main effect is general paralysis. The drug's mechanism of action includes the inhibition of the acetylcholine's action on skeletal muscles. This inhibition is caused by the binding of the drug on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the depolarization of the muscle cell.

Viktor [21]

Excitatory neurotransmitters cause the neuron to fire, and Inhibitory neurotransmitters cause the neuron not to fire.

Impulses are the signals passed from one neuron to another on the action of a stimulus. The impulses passed can be electrical or chemical. Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that help in the transfer of impulses between two neurons.

Chemicals like epinephrine, norepinephrine, and glutamate when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron activate the receptors of other neurons, thereby initiating the other neuron to fire. These chemicals are called excitatory neurotransmitters.

Chemicals like GABA and glycine, when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron do not activate the receptors of other neurons and hence the neurons will not fire the impulse. These chemicals are called inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Answer:

A scientist's response to the increase in food poisoning sick patients should be examining the type and source within the foods consumed.

Explanation:

Food poisoning involves the effects that decomposed or contaminated food can have on a group of people who eat it, and can cause illness in all or most individuals.

Although patients' symptoms should be treated and preventive education provided, the best course of action for a scientist is to investigate the cause.

The response of a scientist to the increase in food poisoning cases is to determine the type and source of food, as well as the nature of the alteration it has -decomposition, contamination, bacteria- in order to <u>eliminate the source and avoid new cases</u>.

  • <em>The other options may be valid in the face of the appearance of food poisoning cases, but they are not the best procedure with which a scientist would respond. </em>
