To draw: The neuronal circuit representing the reflex that pulls the hand when the finger is pricked and, label the neurons, direction of information flow and location of synapses. Introduction : The body involuntarily reacts to a stimulus through reflex action. It includes the signals carried by nerve cells from receptor organs to the central nervous system (CNS) and then back to effector organs. Afferent (sensory) neurons carry information to CNS (brain or spinal cord), and efferent (motor) neurons carry information back to effector. It forms a neuronal circuit. In some cases, interneurons are present that relay signals between sensory or motor neurons and CNS.

In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. 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 16
