The very last sentence of your first paragraph or introduction, the first, not the second or third paragraph should be your thesis statement that begins…This paper will discuss…….. 5. The last paragraph on the last information page, (page 6) should begin…In conclusion… and then you state your opinions, suggestions, concerns, issues, and so on. There should be no cited information located here. 6. You must provide copies of all used articles and attach them to your research paper. Be sure to highlight the used information on your sources in order to show its location. 7. You must have at least 5 references which includes only one internet source. 8. There should be no bullets, numbering, charts, graphs, or diagrams. Use paragraph format only. Each page should be numbered using the complete title of your paper which should be located at the top right corner as a header along with the page number. Do not use acronyms, short hand, abbreviations, or put your last or first name in the header. If your topic is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the title page should be Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 1 in the header and on page 2, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 2, and so on)..

The title, authors, and date of the report first. From the different sections or components such as an abstract, introduction, methods, experiment, results, data, discussion, conclusion, literature, etc. Describe the parts or the sections of the report using specific examples from the actual report. No work cited page is required. This is the report link: https://science-sciencemag-org.ezproxy.bergen.edu/content/367/6475/eaaz5357

The Golden Age of Microbiology changed medicine and microbiology forever. During this age the germ theory of disease was established, disinfectants introduced, the role of immunity established, vaccines developed, surgical techniques and microbiology culture techniques developed. Begin with Edward Jenner and end your essay with the works of Elizabeth Bugie and Rebecca Lancefield. 

Role of stem cells the in therapy of neuro-degenerative diseases (such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and Huntington’s disease)

Films https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrGctRqYHLY&t=6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgAYXiWcEdQ&t=80s 1) List the main idea you learned from the film/documentary/series and explain how you can apply what you learned to your life. 2) Identify 3-5 key concepts from the chapters assigned (chapters 1 & 2) Concepts like: religion, syncretism, ritual, sacred, magic, anthropology, etc. Make sure you first give the definition of the key concept and then give direct examples from the film (i.e. “Anthropology is defined by Stein and Stein as the study of humans in time and space (p.10) and in his lecture Wade Davis explains how anthropology enables us to “)Make sure you use a separate paragraph for each of these concepts and you highlight, bold or underline the concept.

Lab questionsOrganization of the nervous tissueWhat are the similar roots of the common fibular and tibial nerves?Gross anatomy of the central nervous systemWhat is the function of the reticular formation? Where is it located?What are the basic differences between the left and the right hemispheres of the cerebrum?What is the corpus callosum? Where would it be located on your model if you created it? Why is the corpus callosum important?What would happen to an individual who suffered damage to the occipital lobe of the brain?What is the location of the olfactory cranial nerve? How does this aid with its function?What is the difference between the dorsal and ventral roots of the spinal nerves?Where are the choroid plexuses found, and what is their function?Describe the folding of the cerebrum in a sheep brain compared to a human brain. Why are the folds important?The cerebellum of the human is divided into two portions, while the sheep only has one portion of the cerebellum. Why is there a difference?How is the brain stem different in the sheep brain than in the human brain?Reflex and sensory physiologyDescribe how scent and taste work in conjunction. Are the tastes of all of the foods that were tested heightened by the sense of smell, or only some of the foods?Were certain areas of your tongue more sensitive to tastes than others? Describe your answer using your observations.What does it mean if you can hear the tuning fork more clearly in one ear or another during the Weber test?How is the mechanism of hearing different if the handle of the tuning fork is held on the mastoid process instead of holding the tuning fork tines near the ear canal?What types of mechanisms does the body use for balance? How does vision affect balance?Imagine that you were standing on a moving platform when performing the balance test. How would this affect balance and why?The “blind spot” is more like a “blind sphere.” Is the depth (distance from where the circle disappeared to where it reappeared in this exercise) approximately the same for each eye? What does this indicate?Explain why a blind spot is not normally perceived. What is an afterimage? Why does it occur?What causes the patellar reflex?Why is the patellar stretch reflex beneficial?Describe the nerve signal transmission from the stimulus to the response.What, if any changes, occurred when the volunteer was reading while the reflex was tested? Explain your results. What is refraction? Which portions of the eye primarily refract light before the light reaches the retina? How did these areas appear in the cow eye?What is the function of the optic disc?What is the function of the choroid? How is the choroid different in cows than in humans? What does the choroid look like on the cow eye?

Week 7 Chapter 12 1. Describe the mode of transmission of neural impulses involved with the sensations of pain, vision, and hearing 2. Describe diagnostic tests and treatment strategies relevant to alterations in hearing, vision, and pain management. Chapter 13 1.Describe the role of the neuroendocrine system in the stress response 2. Analyze the mechanisms of impairment that can lead to altered hormonal and metabolic regulation. Chapter 14 Questions: What are the potential etiologies for altered reproduction function? How does altered reproduction function develop? Who is most at risk for developing altered reproduction function? How can altered reproduction function be prevented? Describe benign prostatic hypertrophy. Explain how benign prostatic hypertrophy could lead to cystitis and kidney damage. Identify the manifestations of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Chapter 15 Questions: Explain the differences between altered ventilation and altered diffusion. Give an example of each.

Do not use direct quotes at all in this paper. That is plagiarism in science even if you cite it. Title page Introduction paragraph Should include thesis statement that summarizes the main points of body paragraphs / subject of entire paper Broadly introduce topic. Explain enzymes, what affects them, what the paper is about, etc. Body paragraphs Should be at least 3 paragraphs – meaning you have 3 main points to explain about the topic Should have one sentence that summarizes the paragraph or introduces what the paragraph is talking about. Explain how different environmental variables affect enzymes and their function For example, each paragraph could be a different environmental variable, like pH or temp. Conclusion One paragraph that resummarizes the entire research paper Make sure to restate the thesis statement Don’t plagiarize your introduction Literature cited Put 3 sources in apa format in alphabetical order Be sure you cited each source in the text
