Using your nucleotide base pairing rules, in RNA, not DNA, adenine bonds with:

Complete absence of functioning cones is known as achromatopsia, this very rare genetic disorder leads to total (full spectrum) color blindness. True or False: What these patients see all the time is similar to what a “normal” vision person sees at night via rods.

One key clinical application of the steps of the scientific method you will use with your patients in practice is:

When ions move across the cell membrane, an electrochemical potential energy change results. Neurons take advantage of this to pickup sensory information and stimulate skeletal muscle movement, e.g., when you grab your pen to write, your brain uses sensory feedback from your fingers to modulate and refine movement of the skeletal muscles that control them. With that, which type of gated channel is operating most proximately (initially) in this pathway to allow sensory neuronal signaling to the brain?

True or False: An emergent property, like consciousness, is one which you can predict based on knowledge of its individual components; put another way, an emergent property is one that is equal to the sum of its individual parts.

True or False? The primary organs of the inner ear which allow us to hear include the otolithic organs (= saccule + utricle) with their sensory structures called maculae.

A patient of yours is suffering from vertigo due to trauma and infection of their membranous semicircular ducts of their bony semicircular canals. Loss of what type of equilibrium do you think is causing this symptom?

Unlike in deep stages of sleep where somnambulism can occur, in order to not act out our dreams during REM stages of sleep, we become almost completely paralyzed during most of the stages except for:

Phenylephrine is a mydriatic drug used, among other uses, during eye exams, which agonizes/activate alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. With that we can say this drug is ________________and induces pupillary dilation _____________

True or False? Serotonin, AKA 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is derived from an essential amino acid called tryptophan whereas the catecholamines are derived from a nonessential/conditionally essential amino acid called tyrosine.
