Hello please I can some help answer this discussions questions. Please due on 3/21/18 @1pm

 Discussion:Bone Formation

They recently discovered an earth-like planet at our nearest star. Assume this planet has heavier gravity than earth. Think about what you know about how bone forms, and how it is shaped. Will people living on this planet have heavier bones? Lighter bones? What will their osteons look like? Will certain joints be more or less likely to have trouble? Make sure you explain the reasoning behind your opinion.

Critical Thinking: Joints, Tendons, and Ligaments

Select ONE of the following questions and submit your response. Be sure to identify which question you are answering in your submission. 

1.    If someone has a genetic mutation which makes their collagen more "stretchy," what effect do you think this would have on their bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments? Would these more or less likely to break or tear? Would people with this mutation be able to do unusual things? If yes, what do you think those unusual things might be?

2.    Why tendons and ligaments take longer to heal than bone?

Critical Thinking: Muscular Differences

Contrast endurance athletes, sprinters, and weight lifters. How do you expect their muscles to be different? Look to molecular mechanisms and anatomical features when drafting your response. Submit your response. 

 Discussion: Muscles

Assume there is a child with a genetic mutation in which the muscles in her right arm act like smooth muscle. How would this be expressed in how she controlled her muscles? Would the muscles look different? What if there was a different mutation where the smooth muscle found in your colon was skeletal muscle? How would function be different?

Critical Thinking Question

Select ONE of the following questions and post your response in the forum itself. Be sure to identify which question you are answering in your post.

Option 1:

Based on your results from exercise 1, Scenario 2, what was the control center in this negative feeback response? 

 Option 2:

Review the Data Tables from the Pooled Class Data in Exercise 2. What sensation did the class experience when the finger in the icewater was moved to the 30°C water? What is the explanation for this?

 Option 3:

Using your results from exercise 3, which exercise regimen produced the greatest increase in pulse rate? What explains this result? 

Module 6 Critical Thinking Question

Select ONE of the following questions and post your response in the forum itself. Be sure to identify which question you are answering in your post.

Option 1:

What are some of the structural features that distinguish a thoracic from a lumbar vertabrae? What accounts for these structural differences?

Option 2:

How are hyaline cartilage and compact bone similar? How do they differ? What are the consequences of those differences?  

Option 3:

Explain how the extracellular material in bone aids in its strength. What components provide resistance to compression? What components provide resistance to torsion? 

Module 7 Critical Thinking Question

Select ONE of the following questions and post your response in the forum itself. Be sure to identify which question you are answering in your post.

Option 1:

How many cervical vertebrae are there? Describe the differences between C1, C2, and C7, and relate them to their function.

 Option 2:

What vital organs have direct protection from the skeletal system? List the organs and the skeletal structures that protect them.

 Option 3:

What type of bone fracture represents the greatest risk of infection? Why? 

 This questions down below is statistic math :

This reflection activity has two objectives:

1) Reflect on your personal learning and how this module has impacted you.

2) Reflect on the course - what is working for you, what else could be added/changed/improved to help support your learning.

Discussion: Why 0.05?

No unread replies. No replies.

"Why do we compare our p-value to 0.05? Where did this value come from?"

There are a few stories out there about where this threshold value may have come from, but suffice it to say, it's not set in stone. In this discussion board, you'll complete a short activity to investigate the significance level and talk about what you've learned.

Step 1: Why 0.05?

Head to openintro.org/why05. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and watch the first video. This video will tell you about the significance level, and where that threshold comes from. 

After the video ends, you'll be shown 15 random scatterplots. For each scatterplot, decide whether or not there is a clear, upward trend (positive association). Once you finish, your natural threshold for the significance level will be calculated. Take a screenshot of your results (your name must be somewhere in the screenshot), and post

it in your reply. Here's an example from when I tried this.

Step 2: How does your natural threshold compare to your classmates?

Once you've posted your results, compare your natural threshold to your classmates. Post a response on at least two other student's submissions - how did your answers compare to theirs? Did you have similar natural thresholds, or were they vastly different? Did you tend to have a high natural threshold, low natural threshold, or were you right near 0.05?
