Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference by comparing a bloodhound and a human, if bloodhounds, which are adept at following a scent trail even days old, have 1,000 times as many olfactory receptor cells as humans have. Give reason, this difference contribute to the tracking ability of these dogs.

Introduction:

The bloodhound has very keen senses which they used to find the missing peoples and prisoners. The bred of bloodhound is very large and senses are sharp, far stronger than humans.

Include a 5-10 sentence explanation of how the sheep’s eye senses light and relays that data to the brain to interpret visual information.  Some pieces to consider:  What path does the light travel? What structures and pigments does it interact with? How does the signal travel to the brain?  Where in the brain is the data processed? How is this different in the high light vs low light? How might the sheep’s vision differ from our own?
Imagine you wake up to the smell of smoke, The sound of the fire alarm, the flashing lights of sirens, the acreage taste of smoke in the air. In other words, all your senses are reacting to this emergency. Your body goes into "flight or fight mode".  Question: in about two paragraphs, can you describe the sensory pathway that the sensory information from just one of these special senses takes to the brain to be integrated. for example, if you were describing the smell of the smoke, how was odor detected? Which cranial nerves are involved? Where are those located? Where do they connect to the rest of the brain?
Listen The following passage comes from an abstract in a study about analyzing hearing loss in twins: "A clinical and genetic study on 25 twin pairs with at least one deaf member was performed. Concordance rate of hearing loss was 0.88 in MZ and 0.50 in DZ pairs" (MZ =monozygotic or identical twins. DZ -Dizygotic or fraternal twins). From this data alone, what can you conclude about the roles of environment and genetics in hearing loss? Explain how you reached your conclusion.
