Week 8 Lectures Flashcards
(26 cards)
What is the purpose of the Sanchez 2001 study?
Purpose of the reading is to describe the incentives used to increase blood donation
and relate incentive types to future blood donation intent
What are some statistics of transfusions?
5 million US patients receive blood every year and uses blood banking.
What is blood banking?
Blood banking is to collect, process, and store safe blood and there are 7 million yearly donors
What is the purpose of Nudge Ch. 6?
The purpose of the chapter was to describe curation and make-it-fun features of good nudges
What is the purpose of Werner Ch. 8?
The purpose is to reveal how to measure medicine and how to instruct when to give medicine
What are some types of stimuli?
Mechanical, thermal, and chemical
What is mechanical stimuli?
Pressure, vibration, and electrical charge
What is thermal stimuli?
Temperature change
What is stimuli?
Change in the local environment and arouses sense organ response
What is chemical stimuli?
molecular chaneg
What is the light stimulus response?
Light changes-pupil changes size. More light, smaller pupil to reduce light entry and less light-large pupil
What is a reflex action?
A category of organism response that maintains physiologic homeostasis
and is inherited for basic self-defense/survival
What is the pupil?
The hole in the center of the iris. The muscles of iris control pupil size and pupil size adjusts light on retina(back part of the eye)
What is the event response latency used for light reflex?
Milliseconds. On average 250 milliseconds it takes for the pupil to change
What is the feline righting reflex?
A mechanical reflex where dropping a cat will always result in the cat landing on its paws.
What is the salivary reflex?
A chemical reflex of breaking down food for digestion
What is the cough reflex?
A mechanical reflex for keeping things out of the lungs and is used for lung defense
What is the withdrawal reflex?
A mechanical reflex that prevents injury and causes to move away from something
What is the shriver reflex?
A thermal reflex that is activated when cold and is to prevent hypothermia
What is the startle reflex?
A reflex in babies to reach out when they feel as if they are falling but goes away with age
Why are reflexes generalized?
They activate regardless since it does not take into account the environment.
What is an example of a generalized reflex?
Chewing gum since it activates digestive enzymes reflex like real food does
What is true about reflexes?
Reflex reaction differs across species due to inherited sense organ morphology
and process of maturation in organism
What us true about reflex actions?
Reflex action is an inherited response to stimuli that aids survival by maintaining homeostasis. Reflexes depend on species characteristics(morphology and maturation).
