Many questions continue to exist regarding the systematics, anatomy, and physiology of Alouatta. Despite being one of the most commonly studied primate taxa in the Neotropics, the number of howler species is unresolved, and the distribution of many species and subspecies is poorly documented....
Is anatomy, physiology, and psychology included in anthropology? Why was Catal Huyuk important? Is biocultural theory used in medical anthropology? How are cultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology similar? How has evolutionary theory been misapplied in anthropology?
Using your knowledge of joint anatomy and physiology, explain why it is important for inactive patients to move their synovial joints. Why is xylem described as a tissue? Explain why a basic knowledge of plant anatomy or reproduction is important to the research? De...
Overall, cognitive remediation is a therapy that engages patients in learning activities that enhance the neurocognitive skills relevant to their chosen recovery goals.36 A number of approaches to remediating cognition in schizophrenia have been developed and studied over the last 20 years. At the ...
Yawning is characterized by a powerful gaping of the jaw with deep inspiration, followed by a temporary period of peak muscle contraction with a passive closure of the jaw during expiration (Barbizet, 1958). Yawns are not under conscious control and, once initiated, go to completion with minima...
The majority of animals maintain a roughly 24 hour cycle governed primarily by light and dark, with corresponding phases of activity and inactivity. Humans spend their inactive phase in consolidated sleep, generally during the dark period. Sleep however, is not just a single process, but consists...
The most extensively studied dimorphic trait in humans is facial dimorphism. While some sexually dimorphic facial traits are mediated by prenatal exposure to sex hormones7, dimorphism reaches full expression after puberty, due to the influence of androgens and estrogens8,9. High levels of testosterone...
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by epigenetic silencing of the X-linked fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) gene located on chromosome Xq27.3, which leads to the loss of its protein product, fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein (FMRP). It
The thinking is that the hip/leg joints in the human female have evolved as a sort of compromise between allowing them to give birth to big brained babies and being able to walk upright. The result is that women have a different physiology in the legs and hips to men. Women's hips are...
A major obstacle to cure this devastating type of brain tumours is attributed to its highly invasive nature. In fact, glioma cells have a remarkable ability to infiltrate the surrounding brain tissue and migrate long distances away from the tumour bed, which enables them to escape surgical ...
