Why do humans flinch when they think they’re going to be hit or something is coming at them?

Answer:

Explanation:

All animals (including humans) instinctively flinch when they feel threatened. In tests on monkeys, researchers identified a region of the brain that they call the "polysensory zone" that appears to be involved in flinching. This region responds to various different stimuli (visual, sound, and touch) and may be involved in the physical behavior seen during a threat.

Flinching happens in two phases. First, there is an initial startled reaction to stimuli -- the air puff. Next comes a longer defensive response designed to ward off the threat.

Describe the key pieces of recent legislation that impact an MCO
GalinKa [24]
1. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
This Act requires that Managed Care Organizations must provide higher level of care while reducing costs.

2. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA)
This act requires all clinical laboratories, including those contracted for use by the Managed Care Organizations must have a certificate to operate; this would indicate that the laboratory meets the CLIA operational standards.

3. Insurance state regulations (for Managed Care Organizations that have commercial enrollees)
These laws requires that the Managed Care Organization must have the financially ability to operate as an insurance company.
