Discuss the phenomena of Disco’s popularity in the ’70s and Nashville Country Music’s rise in popular culture, particularly during the 80’s.

Consider the phenomena of Disco’s popularity in the ’70s and Nashville Country Music’s rise in popular culture, particularly during the 80’s. Recalling that culture in our period is a product of mass production and mass consumption, what social, economic and political forces were at work creating fertile places for these very different kinds of music? Who created and consumed these cultural products, and what lasting impacts have they made on American life. Sources: 1.) 70s to 80s ( PDF ATTACHED) 2.) Alice Echol’s Hot Stuff Chapters 5 & 6

What performances work?

1. Find a show/film to watch (whatever you want) 2. Take notes on the performances in that show/film. What performances work? Why do they work? Be specific? What performances are not convincing? How are they not convincing? 3. Once you have finished watching the show/film you’re going to write a five paragraph essay about the performances in the show. Use your notes as guidance for this essay. Give me a little background on the show, its actors and their background with performance. Were they classically trained or did they learn on the job? How were the performances?

Which components of the nervous system are involved with skeletal muscle movement?

Question 1 1.Donna, a 42-year-old mother of two, has been experiencing intermittent tingling and numbness in both of her feet. She has also had trouble holding a pen while writing. In the past few months, the tingling and numbness in her extremities seemed to subside on its own, so she was not very concerned. Recently, though, the symptoms have spread to her knees and thighs and are persisting. Yesterday, she stumbled when getting out of bed in the morning. When she tried to stand, her right leg was too weak to hold her weight and she fell again. She noticed that she scraped her right knee during the fall, but does not feel any pain from the wound. Donna notices that she has blurry vision and thinks that might be the reason she fell. All of the following indicate sensory deficits EXCEPT: Tingling in her feet Blurry vision Muscular weakness Numbness in her legs Question 2 1.Donna does not feel the wound on her knee. In a normal situation, describe how this sensory input of a scraped knee would result in the feeling of pain.Question 3 1.Donna has weakness in her right leg, but her left leg is functioning normally. Which components of the nervous system are involved with skeletal muscle movement? Be specific about how the motor impulse moves through the body.Question 4 1.Which of the following correctly defines a motor unit?A single muscle and all the neurons that innervate itA single neuron and all the muscle cells it innervatesAll motor units are afferent neuronsA single muscle and its largest associated nerveQuestion 5 1.Which of the following statements is true?Donna is experiencing problems related to motor neurons only.Donna is experiencing both motor and sensory deficits.Donna’s symptoms are most likely only related to the brain, and not peripheral nerves.Donna is experiencing problems related to sensory neurons only.Question 6 1.List and describe any and all symptoms in Donna’s history that could be related to a pathology of her motor neurons.Question 7 1.Donna’s primary care physician wants to screen her for Multiple Sclerosis. Which of the following tests would provide the most definitive diagnosis for MS?Bone scanComplete blood countMRIMuscle strength testQuestion 8 1.If Donna does have MS, the disease is affecting her myelin sheath. Briefly describe what happens to the myelin sheath and how it disrupts nerve function in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.Question 9 1.Donna later sees a specialist who wants to perform a spinal tap, which is an analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. Where is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) found?Surrounding every synapse and neuromuscular junction in the bodySurrounding the structures of the Central Nervous SystemPeripheral nervesInside each neuron’s somaQuestion 10 1.After extensive testing, Donna’s care team concluded that she does have Multiple Sclerosis and have prescribed steroid treatment. How will steroids help alleviate her symptoms?Question 11 1.Andre is a 68-year-old grandfather who has been struggling with his memory lately. At first, he was simply forgetting an appointment from time to time or forgetting to take his morning vitamins. However, now his spouse and children have noticed that his forgetfulness is progressing. There have been moments where he forgot how to get home, couldn’t remember his own phone number, or the names of his grandchildren. His family is worried he may have Alzheimer’s disease and they are not sure what to do. Andre’s family decides to do some research about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Which of the following statements is true? Dementia is a normal form of aging, but Alzheimer’s disease is not. Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease involves neuron damage and dementia does not. Alzheimer’s disease is not related to dementia.

List and describe at least 5 risk factors.Question 16 1.As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the brain produces less and less of which neurotransmitter?SerotoninDopamineCalciumAcetylcholineQuestion 17 1.Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed using all of the following tools EXCEPT:Brain scansTests to measure memory, problem solving, attention, and languagePeripheral nerve biopsyBlood tests, urine tests, and spinal fluid analysisQuestion 18 1.Describe how the plaques found in Alzheimer’s disease disrupt nerve impulses.Question 19 1.There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but cholinesterase inhibitors can be used to treat symptoms like memory loss or language issues. Briefly discuss how this type of medication affects the physiology of neurons and nerve impulses.Question 20 1.Andre’s primary care physician will likely refer him to a specialist. Which type of specialist treats Alzheimer’s disease? With the information you are given about Andre, how do you think his specialist will proceed? List and describe at least 3 treatments, tests, or other options that would make sense for Andre’s stage of memory loss.
