Cellular Communication: Autocrine, Paracrine or Endocrine? As you are learning, your body and the bodies of all organisms are highly complex, comprised of many different types of cells, each with a vital function that is required for the body’s survival. There are mechanisms that act like lines of communication, allowing different cells to communicate. Messenger molecules serve to coordinate signals between cells and between organs and are described as having autocrine (internal), paracrine (local) or endocrine (system-wide) functions. Without these messenger molecules, how else does your liver know when to produce important proteins for homeostasis? How does your heart know when to beat faster and then slow down? How do your lungs know when to breathe faster? The communications between your brain and organs, and between the different organs must be tightly regulated and controlled. For this discussion board, select two types of messengers that our body uses to communicate between organs or between different cell types. Describe the messengers. Discuss where the messengers are made and what is their function. Are the messengers part of an autocrine, paracrine or endocrine pathway? What would happen if the messengers you have selected were inactive? .

Brain
By crossing this ocean and gaining complete knowledge about the brain, that is, self-knowledge, man will be able to use this most important part of the body to the fullest. Will be able to overcome many of the current limitations and psychological discomforts. Be able to create new levels of success and possibilities for yourself. Neuroscientists say that if the man could discover why he was unique, he might not lead himself to collapse but would respect himself more than he does now.

Why we look the way we do (Human Body Systems)
The human body is a machine that does many things. To do these things, it needs many parts. All these parts together are what we are.
The_Body_s_Control_System.pptx;filename= UTF-8''The Body_s Control System.pptx
The system that enables the body to coordinate bodily activities is the nervous system. The nervous system is referred to as the control unit of the body. The main function of the nervous system is to integrate and coordinate bodily activities. It also acts as a storehouse of information. All information outside and inside the body are processed and interpreted by the nervous system.
The basic unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell or the neuron. Its main function is to deliver messages. The nervous system is composed of billions of neurons. Some parts of the body have more neurons than the other parts. Extending from the cell body (nucleus) are filaments called nerve fibers. These include one long fiber, the axon, and many shorter fibers called the dendrites.
The neuron has three main parts, the cell body, dendrite, and axon. They all work together to deliver the message from the sense organ to the brain and then back to the organ which does the action.
The fibers of a neuron are covered with a layer of fatty substances called myelin. This layer acts as an insulator. It is also important in speeding up the rate at which nerve impulses are transmitted.
The cell body is the main component of a neuron. It maintains the health of the neuron.
The dendrites are the short fibers around the cell body, Dendrites carry messages into the nerve cell. Thus, they are the receivers. The axons carry messages away from the nerves. Thus, they are the transmitters.
The long fiber of the neuron is the axon. It carries the message from the cell body to the other neurons.
The central nervous system is composed of the brainand the spinal cord.
The brain is the master control of the nervous system that sends messages to the organism so it can respond properly to different stimuli in the environment. It is protected by a bony structure called skullor cranium.
The brain has three main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum and the brain stem. The cerebrum is responsible for controlling speech, memory and intelligence. The cerebellum controls movement and balance. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord and maintains vital automatic functions that include circulations and breathing.

The spinal cord is a cord-like material in the backbone. It extends downward from the medulla oblongata through four fifth of the spinal column. It is protected and encased within a spinal fluid-filled vertebral column/backbone. Like the brain, the spinal cord is a delicate organ. Injuries can cause paralysis or loss of control over voluntary movements.

Sexual Harassment
because it is an obvious example of an abuse of power. Most examples of this are not overtly obvious.
Problems today are likely to surface around more subtle forms of sexual harassment--unwanted looks or comments, off-color jokes, sexual artifacts like pinups posted in the workplace, or misinterpretations of where the line between being friendly ends and harassment begins.
Assume you are standing with a group of co-workers in the office, all huddled around a cubicle. You are all discussing an episode of your favorite show from the previous night, and some of the content is sexual in nature. Everyone in your group laughs, and in a few more minutes, everyone goes back to work. A co-worker was sitting in her cubicle nearby during this conversation. She was not participating in the group, but overheard the conversation and was offended. She decides to file a formal complaint of sexual harassment.
Everyone...what do you think? Should this be considered sexual harassment? add reference

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populatio.docx
Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.
What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then
Browse
an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.
NOTE:
To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please
DO NOT
use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.

Cesar’s Last Fast movie. .In 1988, Cesar Chavez embarked on what would be his last act of protest in his remarkable life. Driven in part to pay penance for feeling he had not done enough, Chavez began his "Fast for Life," a 36-day water-only hunger strike, to draw attention to the horrific effects of unfettered pesticide use on farm workers, their families, and their communities. Using never-before-seen footage of Chavez during his fast and testimony from those closest to him, directors Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee weave together the larger story of Chavez's life, vision, and legacy. A deeply religious man, Chavez's moral clarity in organizing and standing with farmworkers at risk of his own life humbled his family, friends, and the world.

Cellular reproduction in Eukaryotes involves either mitosis or, in the case of sex cells, meiosis. Mitosis involves the reproduction of a cell into two identical daughter cells. Meiosis, however, is a reduction division where a parental diploid cell produces four haploid gametes. Upon fusion, two haploid gametes (in humans the sperm and the egg) will result in one diploid zygote. In this activity you will track chromosomes through meiosis using colored beads.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Cellular Communication Autocrine, Paracrine or EndocrineAs you a.docx
- 1. Cellular Communication: Autocrine, Paracrine or Endocrine? As you are learning, your body and the bodies of all organisms are highly complex, comprised of many different types of cells, each with a vital function that is required for the body’s survival. There are mechanisms that act like lines of communication, allowing different cells to communicate. Messenger molecules serve to coordinate signals between cells and between organs and are described as having autocrine (internal), paracrine (local) or endocrine (system-wide) functions. Without these messenger molecules, how else does your liver know when to produce important proteins for homeostasis? How does your heart know when to beat faster and then slow down? How do your lungs know when to breathe faster? The communications between your brain and organs, and between the different organs must be tightly regulated and controlled. For this discussion board, select two types of messengers that our body uses to communicate between organs or between different cell types. Describe the messengers. Discuss where the messengers are made and what is their function. Are the messengers part of an autocrine, paracrine or endocrine pathway? What would happen if the messengers you have selected were inactive?
