Definition of the terms labor, dilation, expulsion stage, placental stage, adolescence, infancy, and adulthood.
Explanation of Solution
Labor: It is the process of delivery of a mammal child, in which the placenta, umbilical cord, membranes and baby are expelled out of the uterus.
Dilation: It is the process of enlargement of the cervix just before the expulsion of a child. It is the first stage of labor.
Expulsion stage: It is the second stage of labor, which starts from full dilation of the cervix and it lasts until the baby is out of the canal/ female’s body.
Placental stage: This is the 3rd stage of labor, which includes the expulsion of the membranes, umbilical cord, and placenta out of the birth canal.
Adolescence: It is defined as a transitional phase of growth that is after childhood and before adulthood. It is the stage of life between the approximate age of 10 years to 19 years.
Infancy: It is the stage of early childhood, in which the baby is completely dependent on the mother. This stage lasts until 2 years after birth.
Adulthood: It is a period in human life in which a person becomes intellectually and physically mature. It is around the age of 20 years in a person’s life.

- when we collect fish or mussels we record a variety of biological information, including but not limited their sex, length, weight or a scale or finray or other tissue sample. Why do we do this, and what information are we hoping to obtain from these measurements and taking these samples?arrow_forwardDraw a rough sketch of the control and experimental data using a normal dose/response curve plot: i.e. % of total bound ligand vs. concentration. Indicate Kd and Bmax on this sketch. You don’t need to use exact numbers, but the relative proportions should be closearrow_forwardName something that could be happening to glutamate transporters that could have this effect on glutamate transport (i.e. the difference in glutamate transporters between control and experimental conditions). (Bonus: if you can also guess what the experimental condition is).arrow_forward
- a. For the control condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. b. For the control condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work. c. For the experimental condition, calculate Kd. Include units and show your work. For the experimental condition, calculate Bmax. Include units and show your work.arrow_forwardNow draw a rough sketch of what the control data might look like if in addition to the specific binding, there was also a considerable amount of nonspecific binding (again using a normal dose/response curve)arrow_forwarda. Which drug is the most potent? a,b,c,d,e b. Which drug has the highest efficacy?arrow_forward
