Chapter 8.4, Problem 14P
Summary Introduction
To define: Threshold stimulus.
Introduction: Muscles constrict with varying degrees of force, which depends on the graded response. Muscles achieve contraction by a process known as summation.

If someone was working with a 50 MBq F-18 source, what would be the internal and external dose consequences?
We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen.
I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates.
List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
