ing statements and indicate whether each is True (T) or False (F). _____ 1. In the second year, most toddlers steadily gain weight, a trend that continues into middle childhood. _____ 2. When skeletal ages are examined, Caucasian children tend to be slightly ahead of African-American children at all ages. _____ 3.

PET and fMRI are especially well-suited for measuring brain functioning in infants and young children. _____ 5. The cerebral cortex is the last brain structure to stop growing. _____ 6. The cerebral cortex has two hemispheres that are very similar in their functions. _____ 7. The brain is more plastic during the first few years than at any later time of life. _____ 8. Exposing babies to under stimulating institutional care for 6 months to 2 years permanently undermines all aspects of psychological development. _____ 9. Providing infants and toddlers with a free curriculum of reading, math, science, art, music, and gym helps yield "super babies." _____ 10. The changing arousal patterns during the first few years of life are affected by brain development and the social environment.

Answer:

Since there are so many true and false questions, the answers and their short explanation, are as follows:

1. False. Children tend to gain weight from birth till they reach the 2-year line and from then on, into middle childhood, they tend to trim down.

2. False. The reverse is true. When skeletal age is used to measure body development, epsecially bone growth, it is African American children that have a slight advantage over their Caucasian counterparts.

3. True. Between childhood and adolescence, the body prunes about 40% of the synapses that have been formed by the brain, as they will not be necessary later in development. This helps to prepare the brain for what it will become later in life.

4. False. Young children, and especially infants, need to move, and are anxious in small spaces. both of these diagnostic procedures require the child to be static, and that is not possible. This is why EEG is a more common procedure to be used; it allows children to be sitting with their parents and to move.

5. True. The cerebral cortex continues growing from childhood into adolescence, and it develops more rapidly than any other region of the brain as it is the one that is most stimulated during those years.

6. False. The cerebral cortex has two hemispheres but each one specializes on certain activities. This does not mean that both do not colaborate in all tasks, but each has specialized tasks to perform.

7. True. Plasticity is a characteristic of the young brain. However, even during childhood, if injury occurs, this does not mean there will not be consequences. It just means that the brain is able to cope with the deficiency and establish mechanisms of compensation that the adult brain cannot do.

8. True. The period between 6 months and 2 years is especially active in development of social, physical and emotional skills. So understimulation and the lack of proper resources and support systems does cause problems in development.

9. False. This is basically a myth. Overstimulation of the child´s brain will not ensure they are more proficient or better, and much less that they become superbabies.

10. True. The more social contact a baby has, paired with genetics of course, the more stimulated the brain becomes and the more development is benefited. And the more developed a baby´s brain is, the further interaction he/she will have with his/her environment, to increase development.

A Typical Human Body Contains About 3.0 Grams Of Potassium Per Kilogram Of Body Mass. 1. ... 1. How much Potassium-40 is present
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Given

Per Kg of body mass, there is 3 gram of potassium

And abundance of three isotopes are as follows

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Have abundances respectively as 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%.

1) A body weighing 80 Kg will have 240 grams of potassium. And the amount of Potassium-40 will be 0.012% of 240 gram

= 240*0.012/100 = 0.0288 gram.

2) Dose in (Gy) = (energy absorbed)/(mass of the body) = ( 1.1*106*1.6*10-19)/(80) = 22*10-10 J/kg

Dose (in siverts) = RBE*Dose(in Gy) = 1.2*22*10-10 = 26.4*10-10

Which lymphatic organ does NOT contain lymphatic nodules?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. thymus.

Explanation:

Lymph nodules are small groups of lymphoid tissue present in the loose under the wet epithelial membranes such as the digestive system, urinary bladder, and respiratory system.

The thymus does not contain lymph nodules like other lymphatic organs such as spleen, tonsils and lymph node. However, small lymphocytes known as thymocytes are grouped together in the cortex and epithelial reticular cells can appear like nodules in the medulla.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. thymus.
