Question
Chapter 17, Problem 3CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the strong sense of odor of preservatives while entering a A and P lab for dissection and later the loss of the smell while working in the lab.
Introduction:
The ability of smell is achieved by olfactory organs that are a part of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is lined with the olfactory sensory neurons that aids in detecting the fragrance from the airborne particles. As the air enters the nasal cavity, the particles also enter the cavity along with the air. The swirling action of air brings the water and fat soluble odorants in contact with the sensors.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2point) to see a quick demonstration of two-point discrimination. Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?

On several visits, Mr. B's blood pressure was found to be elevated, so the physician started him on hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg by mouth daily. One month later, Mr. B began to have chest pains and shortness of breath, so his primary care provider referred Mr. B to a cardiologist for further evaluation. The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram and stress test which revealed heart enlargement and a reduced ejection fraction (volume of blood pumped out of the heart per minute).
