Inflammation: Good or Bad?
Instructions
Inflammation is one of the body’s non-specific defense mechanisms that protects itself from foreign invaders. It is also a crucial step in the healing process. However, more recently inflammation has been linked to a number of chronic disease processes.

Complete the following steps for your discussion post and response.

Read the article: Hobson, K. (2017, July 21). Is Inflammation Bad for You or Good for You (Links to an external site.)? NPR. [Weblog post]
In your own words, briefly describe the major signs of inflammation and explain the mechanism that causes each one.
Explain a process in which inflammation is beneficial in.
Research and discuss a condition that chronic inflammation has been linked to.
In your opinion, for your selected condition which should be treated first: the inflammatory response or the cause of the inflammatory response? Support your opinion.
Be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Compose an essay tracing the path of protein nutrients throughout each part of the gastrointestinal tract and explain what would happen in each one of them. Provide as many details as possible to develop a thorough picture of proteins’ destiny in the human body.

Nutrients undergo several actions before they are taken in the blood then delivered to the body cells.

Reading section 23.1, 23.6, 23.8, and Part 3 sections would be helpful to write the essay

Write an essay in which you clarify the concept of ventilation versus respiration, and explain the characteristics of inspiration and expiration in terms of involved organs and the forces triggering them. (Don’t exceed 800 words.)

The inhalation and exhalation are two characteristics of respiratory function.

Write an essay in which you clarify the concept of ventilation versus respiration, and explain the characteristics of inspiration and expiration in terms of involved organs and the forces triggering them. (Don’t exceed 800 words.)

The knowledge of muscles and pressures involved in respiration is fundamental to write this essay.

Determine the blood types of the four volunteers.Determine whose blood can be donated to the patient and explain why the others can.

Blood type Lab report

Clinical scenario
A patient is being prepped for immediate surgery. Blood will be needed for a transfusion. The patient’s blood type is B+. However, the blood bank is out of compatible donor blood. Four nurses volunteer to donate blood so the blood bank has to determine whose blood can be used.

Introduction:
General background about blood types (ABO and Rh) noting antigens and antibodies for each
Brief explanation of how the testing works

Materials used:
4 3-well blood typing trays
4 volunteer “blood” samples (Brown, Smith, Jones, Green)
Anti-A antibody
Anti-B antibody
Anti-Rh antibody
12 stirring sticks

Procedure:
For each volunteer “blood” sample, put 2 drops of blood into three wells of one blood typing tray
Put two drops of Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-Rh antibodies in to the corresponding wells
Gently stir each well with a separate stick to prevent cross contamination
Agglutination (clumping) signifies a positive result, no agglutination is negative

Data:
Anti-A Anti-B Anti-Rh
Jones Neg Pos Neg
Smith Pos Neg Pos
Green Pos Pos Pos
Brown Neg Neg Neg

Conclusion:
Determine the blood types of the four volunteers.
Determine whose blood can be donated to the patient and explain why the others can.

Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?Where along the spinal cord could you see a lesion in the CT for this patient?

Case Study

A 25 year-old male involved in a motorcycle accident was brought to your ER. The patient complains of being unable to move his legs voluntarily.

The doctor orders a CT but the CT is currently out of commission so you must do some inductive reasoning. One thing you must determine is the severity and location of the patient’s lesion. You begin by scraping the bottom of their foot with the dull-pointed end of a reflex hammer starting at the heel moving to the small toe and then following the ball of the foot toward the big toe. The patient’s foot demonstrates a Babinski’s sign.

Deliverables
Answer the following questions and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

The term used for this condition (inability to move legs voluntarily) is called:
Name the parts of a basic reflex pathway.

Describe Babinski’s sign and compare it to what a normal response would look like.

Why would one see a Babinski sign rather than a normal sign?

Why do you think this is not a first order neuron issue? Hint: What would you see (or not see) if the nerves were damaged?

Where along the spinal cord could you see a lesion in the CT for this patient?

What cellular structure is degenerating and rebuilding in MS?Does this explain the progression we see with the signs and symptoms? Explain why.

Case Study: Multiple Sclerosis

A 30 year-old female with multiple sclerosis (MS) has come for their routine check up with her neurologist. Her first signs and symptoms several years earlier. The symptoms were not concerning as it was only tingling sensations that were a mild discomfort. Those feelings also went away. It became worrisome when the sensation transitioned into pain and tingling. She began to lose coordination during each cycle, and over time she never fully recovered from the previous flare.

What cellular structure is degenerating and rebuilding in MS?

Does this explain the progression we see with the signs and symptoms? Explain why.

When there are issues with the neural tissue like this, they will often look into the eye. Why?

Here are three early symptoms. that we might see in MS. Assign them to whether they are a part of the sensory, motor or autonomic nervous system. Afterward, try to describe how MS would cause these symptoms.
Dysarthria
Paresthesia
Constipation

What does this say about the metabolic demands for muscles, cartilage and bone? Why do you suppose that is?What tissue type can be found bridging the two halves of the once severed muscle bellies? Why? (Hint: How do muscles grow, hyperplasia or hypertrophy?)

Case study: muscle

Answer the following questions based on the scenario and article above and save your responses in a Microsoft Word document. Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

Name the muscles severed during the amputation event.If the patient were no longer to properly pronate his arm, which muscle do you think has been compromised?In general, a patient with a severed limb has a smaller window of time for successful replantation when compared with finger replantation surgery. This is in part due to the difference in tissue composition of the two anatomical structures.

Identify changes that occur in the body due to the sympathetic nervous system and changes that occur in the body due to the parasympathetic nervous system.Explain how the different nervous systems (ANS, PNS, CNS, special senses) work together to influence a pupillary response.

After the reading, answer the following questions:

Explain the pupillary light reflex.

Include a brief description of the procedure or reflex itself. Include the pathway of stimulation and the specific divisions of the nervous system involved with pupil constriction and pupil dilation.

Include the specific nerves involved as well as the specific muscles involved with pupil constriction and pupil dilation.

Explain the auditory pathway.

Include the structures in the ear that are stimulated from the start of the sound entering the ear to the neurological receptors in the inner ear.

Include the neurological pathway from the inner ear to the brain and any other areas sound information is sent to in the central nervous system.

In the article, they discussed changes to the pupil in response to emotion.

Identify the areas in the nervous system involved with emotion.

Explain how the different nervous systems (ANS, PNS, CNS, special senses) work together to influence a pupillary response.

Besides pupil dilation and pupil constriction, the ANS is responsible for changes in other organ systems.

Identify changes that occur in the body due to the sympathetic nervous system and changes that occur in the body due to the parasympathetic nervous system.
