Which pathway accurately describes the route for the passage of visual information to the brain (note: not every region in the pathway is listed)?

The painful sensations induced by capsaicin are mediated by _______ receptors.

Information about pain and temperature in the anterolateral (aka spinothalamic) system crosses the midline at the level of the

  In the diagram on the right, __________ is labeled “A”, which receives taste signals from the brain and transmits the information to the brain.

Which is not typically considered one of the basic tastes?

Which molecule is involved in pain pathways in the spinal cord?

If you block your sense of smell by pinching your nose, your ability to perceive the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami) is completely lost.

The _______ of the tongue contain taste _______, which are made up of taste _______.

For each of the following situations, specify which statistical procedure would be appropriate and why. You may choose among any of those we covered this semester. A questionnaire was sent to collect data on voters of a recent bill on gun control. In addition to asking whether the respondent voted “yes” or “no”, several other quantitative questions were asked, including age, number of guns owned, etc. The data scientist was interested in whether there was a difference between those who voted “yes” and those who voted “no” on average. A sample of children were given a test that measured each of three cognitive abilities: oral, qualitative, and quantitative. Additionally, they were evaluated on six problem-solving abilities. Researchers were interested in the extent of the connection between the cognitive abilities and the problem-solving abilities. Consider the scenario in part B above involving the abilities. However, suppose instead that the researchers collected only the six variables on problem solving but wished to explain those observed skills in terms of three latent variables related to cognitive ability. To fit a statistical model from a relatively small sample of data involving four quantitative variables, a multivariate normal distribution must be assumed. The student charged with assessing normality would like a visual aid suitable for all four variables simultaneously.

Which of these findings would alert the nurse to an increased risk of a patient having human papillomavirus (HPV)?
