1. Knowing our family’s medical history can be useful for us and our doctors because it can help to check the possibility of occurrence of genetic disorders.  Genetic disorders are passed on through several generations. Diseases like hemophilia and color blindness are some examples.

2. Contaminated water can negatively affect the health of an individual as well as a community. Pathogens contained in contaminated water causes several diseases. Diseases like cholera and typhoid are examples of water-borne diseases.  

The bacterium that causes typhoid is Salmonella typhi and the pathogen that causes cholera is the bacterium Vibrio cholera. The consumption of water contaminated by the feces of a person infected with cholera cause the spreading of disease to a healthy person. Contaminated water and poor sanitation is the cause of typhoid spread as well.

3. Two types of drugs are stimulants and hallucinogens. Stimulants increase the alertness of the person who uses it and increases the heart rate, blood pumping rate and blood glucose levels. Cocaine is an example of stimulant drug.

Stimulant abuse can lead to anxiety, paranoia, depression etc. hallucinogens disconnect the link to the brain and users experience unstable and rapid emotions and have hallucinating visions.LSD is an example of hallucinogen. Hallucinogen abuse can cause cognition distortions, paranoia, anxiety etc.

Sheep Brain Dissection Steps
irina1246 [14]
Sheep brains, like other sheep organs, are much smaller than human brains, but have similar feature. They can be a valuable addition to your study of anatomy.

See for yourself what the cerebrum, cerebellum, spinal cord, gray and white matter, and other parts of the brain look like with this sheep brain dissection guide! Use this for a high school lab, or just look at the labeled images to get an idea of what the brain looks like.

You’ll need a preserved sheep brain for the dissection. Set the brain down so the flatter side, with the white spinal cord at one end, rests on the dissection pan. Notice that the brain has two halves, or hemispheres. Can you tell the difference between the cerebrum and the cerebellum? Do the ridges (called gyri) and grooves (sulci) in the tissue look different? How does the surface feel?

Turn the brain over. You’ll probably be able to identify the medulla, pons, midbrain, optic chiasm, and olfactory bulbs. Find the olfactory bulb on each hemisphere. These will be slightly smoother and a different shade than the tissue around them. The olfactory bulbs control the sense of smell. The nerves to the nose are no longer connected, but you can see nubby ends where they were. The nerves to your mouth and lower body are attached to the medulla; the nerves to your eyes are connected to the optic chiasm. Using a magnifying glass, see if you can find some of the nerve stubs.
