CLO 4 : Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the eye and ear and explain their functional roles in vision, hearing, and equilibrium. Students should also be able to identify and locate the receptors responsible for olfaction and gustation and briefly describe the physiology of smell and taste.
• Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the nervous system and explain their functional roles in communication, control, and integration.
Discussion Questions:
The nervous system is critical for maintaining homeostasis through its roles in communication, control, and integration. In your initial post, discuss the major gross and microscopic nervous system anatomy involved in regulating homeostasis, including:CNS (brain, spinal cord)
PNS (sensory, motor, autonomic nerves)
Neurons (dendrites, axon, myelin sheath)
Synapses, neurotransmitters
You could do any of the follwing: Select a homeostatic process like thermoregulation, blood pressure regulation, etc. OR Explain how the nervous system’s anatomical structures facilitate communication between the sensors that detect changes and the effectors that respond to restore homeostasis.You can consider comparing and contrasting the roles of the CNS and PNS in maintaining homeostasis through neural communication and control.
This discussion encourages you to relate nervous system anatomy to homeostatic regulation.
OR you can discuss the Endocrine System.
CLO 5 : Identify and describe the major gross and microscopic anatomical components of the endocrine system and explain the functional roles of their respective hormones in communication, control, and integration.
Discussion Questions:
The endocrine system plays an essential role in maintaining homeostasis through hormone secretion. In your initial post, select two major endocrine glands and discuss their gross and microscopic anatomy, including:
Hypothalamus and pituitary gross/microscopic anatomy
Thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries/testes gross/microscopic anatomy
For each gland, explain how their anatomical structures facilitate the secretion of hormones that help regulate homeostasis. Provide specific examples of how the hormones communicate signals and exert control to maintain equilibrium.
You could compare and contrast the homeostatic roles of the hypothalamus/pituitary to the thyroid or adrenal glands. How are their mechanisms similar and different?
This discussion prompts you to relate endocrine anatomy to hormone secretion and homeostasis mechanisms.

In this activity, you will create a meal that you might have for lunch or dinner. In order to complete the activity, you will select one item from each of four different categories: Main Dish, Vegetable, Side Dish, and Beverage. You must select one of the items listed for each category in the first question below in order to received full credit. Be sure that you type in your answer as close to what is listed as possible.
After you have selected your food items, you will consult nutrition labels to calculate the nutritional value of the meal that you created. and answer the following questions: What were the four items that you selected for your meal? (Note: you must select one item that is listed for each category in order to receive full credit. Please type your answer exaclty as it appears in the list, or the computer may not give you credit!)
Main Dish (type one item from the following list in the text box):
Hamburger
Roast chicken (without skin)
Vegan lentil quinoa bowl
Herb-grilled salmon
Side Dish (type one item from the following list in the text box):
Long-grain brown rice
Vegan potstickers
French fries
Doritos
Vegetable (type one item from the following list in the text box):
Steamed broccoli
Green salad with balsamic vinaigrette
Grilled asparagus
Coleslaw with low calorie dressing
Beverage (type one item from the following list in the text box):
Bottled water
Cola
Low fat (1%) milk
Apple juice
How many total calories were in the entire meal that you came up with? (Enter a whole number with no units!)
If you stick to a strict 2000 calorie/ day diet, what percentage of your daily calories have you consumed in this single meal? (Enter a whole number with no units and no % sign!)
The American Heart Association recommends that you consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. What percentage of your daily sodium would you have consumed in this single meal? (Enter a whole number with no units and no % sign!)

a 2-3 page, single-spaced paper that includes a concise scientific review (based upon provided reading) and a discussion (opinion) of the ethical issues surrounding the topic. Introduction with thesis. 5 body pargrags with evidence. conclusion . Use other sources and cite. make sure all sources end with .edu and are from google scholar or PUBmed.

Biochemical conditions and biochemical research. Chosen topic is cancer specifically on Cancer meningioma

Choose a project to work on. It can be something from the list below
– Design a defective interfering RNA for a virus
– Design a saRNA vaccine for a virus
– Make a KO cancer cell line that does not produce an essential growth factor
– Create, extend or remove uORFs to change the expression level of a gene
– Design RNAi to target the pathogen of a plant
or anything else you’d like to do using skills you learned here. It does not need to be an original research project; you can also simply repeat what was done in a paper, but you will have to do some research, find genes and organisms or a published paper to work on. It should have enough information that I (or one of your colleagues) should be able to repeat it without much effort (so you must describe sequences etc. in detail, but you don’t need to explain obvious points).
The project should be done on snapgene and explained on a document by adding pictures from snapgene.

Follow the questions and answer for the worksheet without using ChatGPT or copying from the sources. Turnitin and other apps will be considered as cheating and won’t release the fund if I checked they are.

The Theory Essay is designed to assist you with digging deeper into developmental theory and integrating general information from your textbook with current applications of the theory in peer-reviewed research. This assignment may also help prepare you for the Research Paper assignment later in this course. Please read through this document in its entirety before beginning your work on this assignment.

Critical Thinking Assignment (110 points) Using the Clinical Trial on breast cancer dataset. Perform a Kaplan-Meier Analysis or the Log-Rank Test to determine the survival curve for the breast cancer survivors. H0 The risk of 50% of the participants dying from breast cancer will occur within five years. (Null Hypothesis) H1 The risk of 50% of the participants dying from breast cancer does not occur within five years. (Alternative Hypothesis) Ensure to submit the following requirements for the assignment: Review the analysis from the standpoint of how many patients survive over the seven-year time period that the clinical trial covered. Present your findings as a Survival Time chart in a Word document, with a title page, introduction explaining why you would conduct a survival analysis, a discussion where you interpret the meaning of the survival analysis, and a conclusion should be included. Your submission should be 4 pages to discuss and display your findings. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. One of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but the others must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these sources and should be your primary resource for conducting research. Follow APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing standards. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment. You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading.
