Summary Introduction
To write:
To label: the different region of the human brain given in the figure.
Introduction:
The brain is an important part of the body where all the decisions about the body are processed, directed and coordinated.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Structurally, the brain is sub-divided into many important anatomical regions, including the cerebrum, thalamus, cerebellum, hypothalamus, and brain stem.
The whole upper region of the skull is filled with Cerebrum. The cerebrum controls language, voluntary movement, sensation, memory, and decision making.
Thalamus relays information between the cerebrum and the spinal cord. The first part of the brain which receives message signaling such sensation as pain, pressure, and the temperature is thalamus.
The hypothalamus is the control center of sex drive, pleasure, pain, hunger, thrust, blood pressure, and body temperature. It also releases hormones including those regulating the production of egg cells and sperms as well as the menstruation cycle.
The cerebellum controls muscle movement, balance, and coordination. It looks like the smaller form of the cerebrum.
The brain stem consists of the pons, midbrain, and medulla oblongata. Midbrain is the uppermost area of the brain stem which adjusts the sensitivity of our eyes to light and ears to sound. Below the midbrain is the pons which functions as a bridge. The midbrain allows messages to travel from brain to the spinal cord. Medulla oblongata is the brain stem's lowest area. It helps to control the heart rate and conveys information between the spinal cord and other parts of the brain.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella
Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F.
Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day. This morning she’s making a sandwich for her lunch.

Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16arrow_forward9.
