Poor posture can lead to back pain by causing problems with your intervertebral discs and joints, as well as your muscles.

Poor posture can place stress on your spine that can lead to anatomical changes in the spine such as shifting of discs and adjustments to the natural curvature of the spine. These changes can ultimately cause back pain due to the constriction of blood vessels and nerves, causing pain. For example, standing or sitting in a position with your neck tilted too far forward for prolonged periods of time (common when using a cell phone) can add extra weight on the vertebra and strain the trapezius muscles, which can result in a change to the natural curvature of the spine. In other cases, such as sitting for long periods of time with poor posture, extra weight from the upper body can be placed on intervertebral discs of the lower back while they are unsupported. This uneven distribution of weight can result in pain caused by disc bulging in the spine and pinched nerves.

Additionally, with prolonged poor posture, muscles can become tightened and overstretched, leading to muscle fatigue and stiffness, causing pain. For example, standing for long periods of time with your weight more on one foot than the other can place extra pressure on one hip, which can overburden the muscles in the lateral hip region, causing them to tighten, while the muscles in the buttocks weaken. Over time, this will result in the development of muscle imbalances in the pelvic area, resulting in muscle strain in the lower back and causing pain. Similarly, a common poor posture position in which a person is "stooped", or stands with their pelvis tucked in and their back flat instead of naturally curved, creates muscle imbalances and a misalignment of the spine resulting in muscle fatigue and pain in the neck and back.

Please explain in at least two paragraphs some pros and cons about virtual school. Please answer this in the comment section bel

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are benefits for doing virtual school. For example, students are able to have a more flexible schedule. Instead of having to spend all morning getting ready and travelling to their school, they can instead sleep more, or use that extra time to catch up on work. Passing periods can be used to actually tend to the students need, instead of focusing on getting to the next class. Of course, another benefit of virtual school is safety due to the ongoing pandemic.

Of course, there are disadvantages when it comes to virtual schooling as well. Students are typically sitting down for their classes, and if they're confined to their chairs for however long the school hours may be, it could be really unhealthy. Students may also be distracted, as they are in their own home. They can get sidetracked and procrastinate, making them not listen to the lessons at all. Some may abuse the system and skip out on assignments as well.

Explain signal transduction (changing from a chemical signal to a nerve impulse) for the sense of smell.

sdas [7]

The odorant molecules arrive either directly by diffusion into the mucus, or are supported by transport proteins (odor binding protein or OBP) that allow the hydrophobic molecules - majority - to penetrate the mucus covering the epithelium, and thus to reach the membrane receptors present on the eyelashes of the olfactory neurons. These transport proteins are thought to concentrate odorant molecules on membrane receptors. As ligands, the odorant molecules bind to membrane receptors on the eyelashes, triggering a transduction pathway for a stimulus involving G.olf protein (first messenger), adenylate cyclase, and cAMP ( second messenger). The second messenger causes the opening of ion channels Ca2 + / Na + present on the plasma membrane of the olfactory receptor, these two ions then enter the cell. Ca2 + causes the opening of a Cl- channel, the output of this ion causes depolarization of the membrane so that the olfactory receptor produces action potentials. These impulses will go directly to the olfactory bulb, in the prefrontal region of the brain, where this information (and that of taste) is processed by the body.
