It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Non-Mendelian Inheritance. It also talks about the definition, history and the laws included in the Non-Mendelian Inheritance or Non-Mendelian Genetics.
The term “mentally handicap” is now used for the conduction “mental retardation”.
At least 2 to 3 % of Indian population are mentally handicapped in any form.
Mental handicapped is the significantly sub average general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior manifested during the developmental period.
It includes the learning disability, poor maturation and social mal adjustment in combination.
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

4. The Nature of Intellectual Disability
“An intellectual disability, formerly
referred to as “mental retardation”
is characterized by a combination of
deficits in both cognitive functioning
and adaptive behavior.
The severity of the intellectual
disability is determined by the
discrepancy between the individual's
capabilities in learning and in and
the expectations of the social
environment.
(Project IDEAL, 2008)
5. Definition
• Deficits in IQ and adaptive functioning
• IQ of 70 or below
– Measured by standard scales
• Wechsler, Stanford-Binet, Kaufman
• Impairments in Adaptive Functioning
– Effective coping with common life demands
– Ability to meet standards of independence
– Measured by standard scales
• Vineland, AAMR Adaptive Behavior Scale
6. The Nature of Intellectual Disability
“ Intellectual disability is a term
used when a person has certain
limitations in mental functioning
and skills such as communicating,
taking care of himself/herself
and social skills.
These limitations cause a child
to learn and develop more
slowly than a typical child.
7. Definitions for Intellectual Disability
“Significantly sub-average
general intellectual functioning,
existing concurrently with
deficits in adaptive behavior and
manifested during the
developmental period, that
adversely affects a child’s
educational performance.”
IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)
8. Conceptual skills—language and literacy; money,
time, and number concepts; and self-direction.
Social skills—interpersonal skills, social
responsibility, self-esteem, gullibility, naïveté
(i.e., wariness), social problem solving, and the
ability to follow rules/obey laws and to avoid
being victimized.
Practical skills—activities of daily living (personal
care), occupational skills, healthcare,
travel/transportation, schedules/routines,
safety, use of money, use of the telephone.
10. Prevalence
• 1% (1 – 3% in developed countries)
• The prevalence of ID due to biological factors is
similar among children of all SES; however, certain
etiological factors are linked to lower SES (e.g.,
lead poisoning & premature birth)
• More common among males (1.5:1)
• In cases without a specifically identified biological
cause, the MR is usually milder; and individuals
from lower SES are over-represented
16. Congenital intellectual disability
and microcephally
Involves heart defects, hearing
loss, and abnormalities of
fingers and hands. Short
stature
Manifest self-injurious behavior
and limited speech and
stereotypy

difficulty eating but eventually
becomes obsessed with food
as they grow hoarding and
obsessive
The leading genetic cause of
obesity.
People with Prader-Willi
syndrome are at risk for a
variety of other health
problems such heart
defects, kidney
PRENATAL CAUSES
21. Turner’s Syndrome
Normally found in females
Persons with Turner’s
syndrome has webbing of
the neck, puffiness or
swelling of the hands and
feet
Associated with heart
defects and kidney
problems
PRENATAL CAUSES
(Pierangelo & Giuliani,2007)
22. William’s Syndrome
Caused by the absence of
material on the seventh
pair of chromosome.
People with William’s
syndrome exhibit heart
defects and “elfin” facial
features.
Their unusual sensitivity
to sound makes them
competent in music and
language despite of their
low IQ level.
PRENATAL CAUSES
23. Fragile X Syndrome
Most common known hereditary
cause of intellectual disability
Associated with X chromosome in the
23rd pair of chromosomes
Occurs less often in females
Persons with Fragile X Syndrome have
behavior and emotional problems
and poor socialization skills
They become anxious when routines
are change
They have unusual facial features
PRENATAL CAUSES
(Hallahan & Kauffman,2003) (Piearangelo & Giuliani, 2007)
25. Galactosemia - inability of the
body to use simple sugar
galactose
Hunter Syndrome – defective
breakdown of chemical
mucopolysaccharide.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) – inability
of the body to convert
phenylalanine to tyrosine)
Tay-Sachs Disease – absence of
Hex-A enzyme.
PRENATAL CAUSES
(Piearangelo & Giuliani, 2007)
Can be prevented through an
early detection (e.g. newborn
screening) and can be treated
by providing a special diet
program.
28. Hydrocephalus
Results from an
accumulation of
cerebrospinal fluid inside
or outside the brain.
The degree of intellectual
disability depends on
how early the condition
is diagnosed and treated.

Assessing Intellectual Ability
and Adaptive Behavior
• Assessing Intellectual Ability (IQ testing)
– Problems:
• Potential for cultural bias
• Flexibility of IQ scores
• Overemphasis on IQ scores
• Assessing Adaptive Behavior
– Considers the context of the individual’s
environment and cultural influences
– Often measured by direct observation, interviews,
behavior rating scales
37. How Are ID Classified?
• Severity (Used in schools since the 1980s and
based on IQ)
– Mild = 50 to 70-75, Moderate = 35 to 50
– Severe = 20 to 35, Profound = Below 20
• AAMR Levels of Support Needed
– Intermittent
– Limited
– Extensive
– Pervasive
43. For children with mild intellectual disability, readiness and functional academic
skills are present and thus can be placed into Inclusion Programs.
Educational placement programs for children with moderate to severe
intellectual disability can be more tedious. Curriculum and materials for these
children should be age-appropriate, which should help develop independent
behavior within the child.
Individualized Education Program (IEP) is designed to cater the special
educational needs of special children. This is a useful and common vehicle to
develop skills and educate children with intelletual disabilities who are in
more severe cases.
Behavior Therapy Programs may also be employed, as they are very useful in
altering behavior by lessening distruptive or inappropriate actions of a
particular child.
Alternative Programs can also be incorporated in a child’s special education
process. Such programs would include vocational training, physical education,
theatre, music, etc.
44. Unlike preschool programs for
children at risk, in which the
goal is to prevent intellectual
disability from occurring,
programs for infants and
preschoolers who are already
identified with intellectual
disability are designed to help
them achieve as high a
cognitive level as possible
(Hallahan & Kauffman, 2003).
PLACEMENT PROGRAMS
Early Childhood
45. These programs gives more
emphasis on conceptual and
language development and
usually involves speech and
physical therapists most
specially when children have
multiple disabilities.
PLACEMENT PROGRAMS
Early Childhood
46. How Do I Teach Students with
Intellectual Disabilities?
• Direct instruction with clear objectives, advance
organizers, “think-aloud” model, guided practice,
independent practice, post-organizers
– Focus on task analysis
– Focus on sequencing tasks for recognition, recall,
reconstruction
– Focus on presentation and practice, including use
of prompts
• Generalization
47. Most authorities agree that
although the degree of
emphasis on transition
programming should be
greater for older than for
younger students, such
programming should begin
in the elementary years
(Hallahan & Kauffman,
2003).
PLACEMENT PROGRAMS
Transition to Adulthood
48. Transition programming for
individuals involves two
related areas; first,
community adjustment to
acquire a number of self-
help skills and second,
employment to lead to a
meaningful job.

Family Issues
• Families with a child with mental retardation
may experience a wide range of concerns and
often rely on a support network made up of
friends and family members in addition to
parent organizations and professional groups.
