Question: Impulses originating in the part of the brain called the medulla would most directly affect which body structure?

a. A leg muscle

b. A ligament

c. An arm bone

d. The heart

Answer:

d. The heart

Explanation:

The medulla oblongata contains a number of reflex centers for regulating vital body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and vasoconstriction. The medulla contains several nuclei, a collection of neuronal cell bodies.

For example, impulses originated in the cardiovascular center regulates the rate and force of the heartbeat and the diameter of blood vessels. Impulses from the cardiovascular center flow along sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. An increase in sympathetic stimulation from the cardiovascular center of medulla increases heart rate and contractility while a decrease in sympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate and contractility.

classify each of the hypothetical experiments as double blind, single blind, or unblinded. at least one experimental technique w

Natalija [7]

Classification is as follows -

Unblinded
Single blind
Double blind
Double blind
Single blind

During research performed in studies, it is highly important to not know the details of patients and the treatment they are receiving. This is called blinding and is commonly in practices in clinical trials involving randomized Controlled Trials (RCT). There are two types of trials namely, RCT and placebo. RCT aims to remove the involvement of biased treatment. For this, different people are assigned different treatment. Placebo involves assigning inactive medication in order to replicate the treatment consequences.

Coming back to blinding, it is of three types namely, single blinding, double blinding and triple blinding. Single blinding is the situation when usually the patient does not know about the treatment i.e. one party is blinded. Double blinding indicates that researchers and patients, both are unaware of the which specific treatment is received by whom. Triple blinding is the situation where only Principle Investigator holds information about the details of study. Here, patient and all the people involved in study are unaware of treatments assigned. In the case of unblinded trial, everyone is aware of the treatment being given.

A pharmaceutical company claims that their new eye drop formula is more effective at treating glaucoma than the standard one. A group of doctors decide to test the claim, and they ask their patients to choose which type of eye drop they would like to receive. The doctors keep track of the number of patients prescribed each formula that go blind within five years.

A marketing researcher hires three different artists to design a new animal spokesperson for his company. The researcher has a favorite but wants to determine which will be most beloved by the American public. He sends out an anonymous online survey with pictures of the three animal spokespersons to 10,000 randomly selected people. In each survey, the position of the animal spokespersons on the screen is randomized.
A researcher designs a clinical trial to test if a new medication is effective at relieving heartburn. Each participant in the trial is assigned a random number. Each number is associated with receiving either the medication or a placebo, both of which look and taste identical. The researcher does not have any direct contact with the participants.
A psychologist wants to test whether playing classical music or white noise is more effective at getting children to fall asleep. She creates 500 classical music CDs and 500 white noise CDs. The CDs are visually indistinguishable. She assigns one CD at random to each of 1000 parents, and they administer the treatment. She monitors the children's sleep patterns from image-only videos and then asks the parents which type of CD they received.

Match each organism with its phylum Pines Ephedra Palm-like plants Trees with fan-shaped leaves A. Gnetophyta B. Ginkgophyta C.

solong [7]

Answer:

Ginkgophyta

Explanation:

Gymnosperms are cone-bearing trees or Woody plants, which do not different greatly in their structure from the Woody angiosperms. Gymnosperms do not produce flowers but as seed plants that bear their seeds on scale-like leaves which are arranged spirally to form cones. The seeds are termed naked seeds because they are exposed to the air on the surfaces of the cone scales.

Gymnpsperms are grouped into four major divisions namely:

*Ginkgophyta

*Cycadophyta

*Corniferophyta

*Gnetophyta

1)DIVISION GINKGOPHYTA:The ginkgo tree cared maiden hair is the only surviving member of this division. It is found in the Orient(China and Japan) where it is cultivated as an ornamental tree because of the fan-like leaves. The leaves are *fan-shaped* with long petrioles.

2)DIVISION CYCADOPHYTA:The cycads abound in the tropics, mainly as ornamental plants. They are *palm tree-like* plants with a crowded crown of palm fronds.The leaves of Cuba's are deep green,waxy with large petioles.

DIVISION CONIFEROPHYTA:This is the largest group of Gymnosperms as it includes some of most economically exploited plants such as *pines* and Jupiter's. The pine tree is important as Christmas tree and conifers are generally important in the production of wood and paper

DIVISION GNETOPHYTA:This is the group of very unique Gymnosperms made up of three genera:Gnetum,*Ephedra* and Welwitschia.

Ephedra is a profusely branched shrub found in desert regions. It has whorl-like, scale-like, or needle -like leaves and jointed stem.

Hence, matching each with its phylum, we have:

Gingkophyta:Fan-shaped leaves

Cycadophyta-Palm-like leaves

Coniferophyta:Pine

Gnetophyta:Ephedra
