Question 1- explanation
- Epithelial mesenchymal transition is an important process where, polarized epithelial cells undergo transitions and biochemical changes to gain a mesenchymal phenotype.
- It is an important process in embryonic development, wound healing and metastasis.
- Cancer metastasis involves EMT which helps cancer cells to migrate to different locations in the body
- It is also an important process in embryonic development and gastrulation . It is involved in formation of neural crest and somites i.e vertebrae precursor cells.
- It is involved in wound healing, where the morphology of keratinocytes changes to re- epithelize the wound region.
- Cleavage is an early development process which only involves increase in cell number from 2 to 4 to 8 and so on.

Activation of that connection (increases/decreases) activity in the globus pallidus internal, ultimately (promoting/suppressing) movement.Group of answer choicesExcitatory, increases, promotingExcitatory, increases, suppressingInhibitory, decreases, promotingInhibitory, decreases, suppressingInhibitory, increases, suppressing Is my reasoning correct? basal ganglia circuitry: The striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) sends inhibitory projections to the globus pallidus externus (GPe). Therefore, the connection between the striatum and GPe is inhibitory. The GPe sends inhibitory projections to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The STN sends excitatory projections to the globus pallidus internus (GPi). The GPi, in turn, sends inhibitory projections to the thalamus. When the striatum activates its connection to the GPe (due to receiving excitatory input from the cortex), it inhibits the GPe.…arrow_forwardA second hit might arise because of viral infection. Tumor-initiating viruses often target RB1 for inactivation. What advantage would a virus gain by inactivating RB function in the host cell? Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an example of a virus that inactivates RB and causes tumors. Which cancer is HPV infection most closely associated with? How is HPV able to inactivate RB?

After reading Chapter 8 you should recognize the following as some examples of common medical emergencies: shock, wounds, burns, musculoskeletal injuries, heat- and cold-related illnesses, poisoning, snake bites, sudden illness, cerebral vascular accidents, and heart attacks. Question A: List and describe the common types of shock, then explain which one you consider to be the worst type of shock and why. Typically, wounds can be classified in two different groups: open and closed. Regarding closed wounds: Question B: What does it mean to RICE or MICE it? And when can you use these? Regarding open wounds: Question C: Choose 3 different types of open wounds and describe them. Most burns are caused by either heat, chemicals, explosions, or electricity.
