Participation in this threaded discussion topic – Human vs Cat superficial skeletal muscles can garner you up to 3% extra credit on Exam 2!

–To gain maximum EC (3%) name, discuss and compare three (3) Human superficial skeletal muscles with the Cat versions.

See the Cat Superficial Muscle Dissection Guide and Additional Cat Superficial Muscle Illustrations for images of cat skeletal muscles.

• Provide an anatomical description of each muscle in humans and compare the cat and human versions.

• Do some web searching to come up with specifics! Include relevant web addresses for websites if you base your answers on information from them.

• The more specific and anatomical your discussion is, the greater the chance that you will receive extra credit.
  

Note: No credit will be given for repeating material in posts of other students, so read them before posting your own!

Due 10-09 (Late submissions will not get credit)

you cannot use Gluteus Maximus, Gastrocnemius, Biceps Femoris, The Brachialis Muscle, Sartorius Muscle,Gracilis muscle, Masseter, Sternohyoid, Soleus, Mylohyoid, Trapezius, Latissimus Dorsi

Create 12 Geriatric ONLY Soap notes. Avoid repeating diagnosis. This needs to be from an FNP new perspective in a clinic setting. Include a variety of preventive visits, chronic, and wellness disorders annual exam pertaining only to this population.Include developmental appropriate stages. Every soap note needs a diagnosis and therapeutic section must have medications and full prescribing instructions specifically for the geriatric population. .Include low to medium complexity in ICD code.

The process of diffusion is the movement of a substance, or molecule from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Through this spontaneous process no cellular energy is needed or used and the rate at which it diffuses depends on the permeability of the layer that separates the higher from the lower concentrated areas.

Diffusion can be very effective over smaller distances. So, it is more productive in smaller organisms. The reason is as the ratio of surface to volume decreases, diffusion becomes less systematic. The best way to counteract this limitation larger organisms have developed specific systems and tissues that have taken the role of completing nutrient and waste duties.

Other limiting factors over organisms can be anything that limits its size, or stops its growth. These factors can include competition for food and other resources, and even the environment.

Endothermic organisms can maintain steady and specific body temperatures through the use of homeostasis since they rely on internal metabolic heat, for example mammals, such as humans, or birds. Ectothermic organisms rely on the environment to maintain body heat, and example of these are amphibians or reptiles.

Advances in genetic technology like genetic and genomic testing and gene editing are transforming human biological sciences, but are creating new ethical dilemmas. Here, we address the implications of direct-to-consumer genetic testing.

**Note–link to NPR story below is now functional
FDA Approves Marketing of Consumer Genetic Tests (NPR, 4/7/17) (Links to an external site.)

I had My DNA Picture Taken, With Varying Results (New York Times, 12/30/13) (Links to an external site.)

Read the two articles (links below) and then address the following questions in your post.

1. Would you be interested in having such a genetic test done? Why or why not? If you have had a consumer DNA test done and would like to share your experiences, you are welcome to do so.
2. Would you want to know if you were destined to contract an incurable degenerative disease such as Huntington’s disease or Alzheimer’s later in life? Would the results of such a test cause you to alter your lifestyle?
3. What concerns (with regard to ethics, privacy, etc.) might arise with the widespread use of such tests?

Assignment Content

1. 
   
   IIn this assignment you further define your project scope and identify data sources that help you determine how to address your selected problem.
   Determine the scope of your selected problem. Consider/Discuss both qualitative and quantitative data points in your paper, for example:· Leader and peer interviews· Patient/customer surveys· Quality reports· Benchmarking studies/baseline data. If baseline data is available: · What are the goals?· Are current practices meeting the organizational goals?· Are the prescribed practices followed?
   Review and aggregate the data.
   Determine the level of risk (what is the impact of not addressing your problem?) and frequency of the problem to determine the importance of the project.
   Looking at the information you have gathered so far, determine whether the project lends itself to an evidence-based practice approach or a quality improvement project.
   Cite a minimum of three (3) scholarly/peer reviewed articles/sources.
   Format your assignment as one of the following:· 18- to 20-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes in APA format (total slide count does not include the title and reference slide)· 875 to 1000 -word paper in APA format (title and reference page not included in word count)
