A child was in a diving accident. When brought into the emergency room, the doctor used sharp and blunt objects to determine if

there was any sensation on the bottom of the foot and the lateral aspect of their palm. The child stated they could not feel the stimulus in either area. What nerves were most likely damaged?

Answer:

S1 and S3

Explanation:

The spine is composed of 33 vertebrae and has 31 pairs of nerves that are distributed throughout the body in an organized manner. Each nerve that leaves the spine is responsible for imparting sensitivity and strength to a particular area of the body, so whenever there is a compression or cut of a nerve, a particular area of the body is compromised.

When a person has a feeling of numbness in the foot, as shown in the above question, it is more likely that there is a change in the spine, specifically in the nerves S1 and S3. This is because nerve S1 is responsible for eversion of the foot, while nerve S3 is responsible for the intrinsic muscles of the foot.

. A Darwinist is likely to believe that A) heritable traits cannot be altered by experience. B) all human behavior has its roots
barxatty [35]

Answer:

A) heritable traits cannot be altered by experience

Explanation:

This is because the Darwinist believe that heritable traits were  acquired from previous generation not  from practise  or  learning which may  develop to experience with time.He believed that certain selective pressures must have acted  or selected these  organisms to possess these heritable characteristics, and can not be altered by experience  whicg is acquired with age.

He should conclude therefore  that variation in the organisms which possess these characteristics should be the main factor which gives them selective advantages to inherit these traits compare to others in this same   surrounding environment  Therefore  he will discard the influence of environment.

Why is the rock cycle more of a “web” than a circle?
Romashka [77]
It is more of a web because it can start in any order and move into any rock type. example being you can start as a sedimentary rock and turn into a metamorphic rock or igneous rock. a cycle starts anywhere and then goes into a specific cycle.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:  Protein folding and oligomerization

Explanation:

Binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP) is a vital protein present in humans essential for the translocation of secreted peptides.

BiP is  a molecular chaperone which is present in lumen of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) which binds to the new protein and then translocat into the ER. The protein in ER is maintained under subsequent condition and important for protein folding and oligomerization (conversion of a  monomer or group of monomer into an oligomer).

Several other functions of BiP are:

  1. ER translocation
  2. ER-associated degradation (ERAD)
  3. UPR pathway

Hence,  BiP is a chaperone, it is important for protein folding and oligomerization.
