Patient 2: Ms. T. Clinical Summary:A 17-year-old female exhibits frequent involuntary motor and vocal tics. She has difficulty suppressing movements when anxious or stressed. MRI results indicate abnormal activity in the basal ganglia and frontal cortex. Guiding Questions: Identify the neurotransmitter(s) that could be imbalanced in this case. Explain how an imbalance of this neurotransmitter disrupts inhibitory signaling between the basal ganglia and cortex. Discuss how this dysregulation affects synaptic communication and leads to impaired motor inhibition. Suggest how modulation of receptor activity could help stabilize neurotransmission.

Maximum heart rate formula is your age plus 220.

There are many theories as to why people become obese.

We need to ingest 300 grams of cholesterol every day to stay healthy. 

3 positive effects cardiorespiratory fitness has on the body are weight management, better sleep and better circulation.

Patient 1: Mr. R. Clinical Summary:A 65-year-old male presents with muscle rigidity, resting tremors, and a shuffling gait. He reports difficulty initiating movement but no sensory loss. Neurological imaging shows decreased activity in the substantia nigra. Guiding Questions: Which neurotransmitter is most likely dysregulated in this patient? Describe how this neurotransmitter normally regulates motor function in the basal ganglia. Explain how the loss or deficit of this neurotransmitter alters synaptic transmission and leads to the observed motor symptoms. Predict one pharmacological approach that could help restore normal signaling and explain why it would be effective.

The foundation for total body fitness is flexibility

BMR and BMI are the same thing.

90% of dieters gain their weight back within one year.

To be considered flexible a person must be able to do the full splits.
