Assume that millions of generations ago, there was a species of rat that looked much like the picture given to the right. Members of this species were eventually isolated on different islands as geologic change occurred. Assume that over millions of generations your rat has evolved adaptations that are an advantage in the specific island environment described below. The purpose of this activity is to brainstorm how a species may evolved based on adapting to the environment and connecting species in the habitat to components in a ecosystem. Identify your habitat (or write the full description) in your PowerPoint so I know (e.g. Island 1 and copy and paste description). Design a rat that has adapted to the environment of the island, creating a new species of rat. Describe at least four physical adaptations (how it looks) and one behavioral adaptation (how it acts) and why they are beneficial to the rat. You can get 2 points extra credit if you draw your rat adaptations (this doesn't mean find a picture of a rodent that happens to look exactly how you want your rat to be, only 1 point if drawing is a very poor representation). Post photos of the island habitat, including island, water, plants, animals, etc. using real photos online. I should get a feeling of what your island description says. Post answers to “What’s on the Island?” based on your habitat. This means these are organisms in your habitat. The only liberty will be decomposers since most don't explicitly list something that is a decomposer. Directions: Just using the organisms in your Rat Island ecosystem (including the rat), give an example of each of the following: Note: If the organisms given don’t fit a certain category, state that and give a possible likely organism based on the ecosystem. Producer – Consumer – Predator – Prey – Scavenger – Decomposer – Abiotic factor – Biotic factor – Limiting factor – Description of Island: The island is fairly flat, with an occasional hill. The ground is soft dirt, and several species of shrubs grow towards the center of the island. There is no animal life on land; but the water is teaming with fish. The island is surrounded by a coral reef which keeps the predators out. The shore is sandy with no algal growth. Fresh water is available. .

At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally. Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans. For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts. To prepare: By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific scenario for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor. By Day 3 of Week 1 Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation: The role genetics plays in the disease. Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described. The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred. The cells that are involved in this process. How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response. I will be adding a discussion that will need a reply after. I will add 2 of them but at a different time depending on when they are availabe. Julia's discussion In this scenario, it appears that a 16-year-old boy had an allergic reaction to amoxicillin. While this is unfortunate and was probably unavoidable, the provider could have reduced the risk of a medical emergency by asking a few questions. Genetics is important as familial tendency to develop allergic conditions is thought to have a genetic link. In an article published in PubMed , the authors wrote “The allergic diseases are complex phenotypes for which a strong genetic basis has been firmly established.” (Ortiz & Barnes, 2014). It does not say in the scenario, but family medical history could have identified an increased risk for this child, but the order was most appropriate given the diagnosis of Strep throat and the available history. According to the required reading this week, the clinical manifestations of an allergic reaction are related to histamine being released into the body McCance, K. & Huether, S., 2019) . Acute allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies and arises rapidly after exposure. Symptoms include hypotension, bronchospasm, angioedema (swelling), and urticaria (itching), all reported reactions in this scenario. Acute allergic reactions result from the immune system identifying a substance, in this case, amoxicillin as dangerous as a result of previous exposure (Bhattacharya, 2010). After exposure, there are antibody receptors for that substance in the body, another .
