In cladistics, what is such a grouping called? 2) This refers to a treelike diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships of species based on derived characters. 3) In cladistics, this refers to a characteristic that is not found in the common ancestor of a group of organisms being studied.

Sverapa, a nurse researcher with 9 years experience on an obstetrics unit of a large hospital, explored mothers’ experiences of hydrotherapy in labor. She had developed an interest in this shortly after she gave birth and received hydrotherapy. Sverapa conducted a descriptive phenomenological study of this phenomenon, collecting data by interviewing 9 women in their homes within 3 weeks after delivery.

In analyzing the data, Sverapa identified two key themes describing the essence of mothers’ experiences with hydrotherapy during their labor. These…

The sex response is an inborn reflex. What stimuli trigger the reflex? What two physiological mechanisms (other than the brain) are responsible for the physical changes that appear during the sexual response? [Hint: One begins with “va” and the other with “my.”] Give examples of the effects of both these two physiological mechanisms.
