Summary Introduction

To review:

Identification of three brain regions formed during the middle of fourth week, and five brain regions by the fifth week of gestation.

Introduction:

The study about structures and functions of the central nervous system needs basic knowledge as development of the same begins from an embryonic stage in humans. The embryo in its early stage consists of an embryonic tissue layer called an ectoderm. This groove gets deeper day by day and by twentieth day, it gets fused and forms a neural tube.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The portion of the ectoderm in which, the fusion occurs becomes the neural crest and it is situated between the neural tube and the surface of ectoderm. By the middle of fourth week, after conception, three swellings are formed on the anterior end of neural tube namely, forebrain or prosencephalon, midbrain or mesencephalon, and hindbrain or rhombencephalon.

By the fifth week, the area gets developed and modified to form five regions. The forebrain further gets divided into telencephalon and diencephalon. There is no change in the mesencephalon. And, the hind brain divides into metencephalon and myelencephalon. There are greater chances of advanced modifications in the later stages of human development.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
