In this lesson, students will research how famous families came to be. They’ll work with their peers to uncover details about fertilization, gestation, and birth, as well as other aspects of the famous family’s story. Students will then demonstrate (orally or written) their understanding of the concepts from the past two lessons. They will also reflect on the role celebrities play in shaping our thoughts, feelings and behaviors around reproduction and families.

"A change in temperature can easily alter the course of our day. But for some reptiles and fish, it can set the course of their lives—deciding whether they emerge as male or female when they hatch. Basically, temperature affects whether the early gonad becomes a testis (making male hormones) or an ovary (making female hormones). It’s called temperature-dependent sex determination, and it was first described in the late 1960s. But only now are researchers close to understanding how this phenomenon works on a molecular level. A new study reveals the genetic circuitry behind this type of sex determination in red-eared slider turtles. Researchers recently discovered the role played by an epigenetic regulator known as KDM6B, which can control whether a gene is turned on or off. KDM6B is required for the expression of the sex-determination gene Dmrt1, which leads to a male anatomy..."

"Knee problems such as instability of the kneecap and arthritis can be telltale signs that it’s time for surgery. But they’re not the only ones. A new study suggests that focal lesions of the cartilage that cushions the kneecap, or patella, and of the trochlea, the groove where the patella rests, are just as important and can have similar causes. Understanding how these lesions are related to knee alignment and morphology could help clinicians develop more tailored and durable treatments. Researchers reached that conclusion after comparing the knee anatomy of 135 patients with focal patellofemoral cartilage lesions, but no arthritis, to that of 100 patients with normal cartilage. Using M-R-I, they assessed features including patellar morphology, trochlear morphology, patellar malalignment, and the quadriceps vector. Patients with patellofemoral lesions showed greater trochlear dysplasia and patellar malalignment than those in the control group..."

"Reproducibility is extremely important in science. But no matter how much effort is put into standardizing protocols, small differences seem inevitable in the way experiments are performed among laboratories. These small differences can add up to discrepancies that complicate data interpretation. One field where this issue looms large is neuroscience – particularly in experiments involving histological sections of the mouse brain. Such studies require correct identification of specific brain regions for accurate interpretation of results. But the mouse brain is small and complex. Brain atlases can be invaluable in mapping, but applying this information in laboratory experiments is difficult. A new automated system aims to solve this problem by taking the guesswork – and potential observer error and bias – out of the equation. Much like a GPS system in a car, the program – called NeuroInfo – helps researchers navigate through the microscopic anatomy of a brain section..."

Preface
Neural Pathways of Communication was designed for the first neurology course (known as "Neuro-1") in the master's level graduate study of Speech-Language Pathology. Our first open educational resource (OER) textbook was developed in 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic began. Reducing the costs of study materials helps rising Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) progress toward their licensure and certification without interruptions due to financial setbacks. Developing the Open Education Resource (OER) resources is our ongoing effort to support rising SLPs.
A large part of this book is from various OpenStax textbook series. OpenStax is a nonprofit organization based out of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Its open resource textbooks cover a vast amount of information for two-semester core curriculum courses in various disciplines. OpenStax generously permits educators to use their books' content in part or in whole to develop textbooks customized for each instructor's course structure. The present textbook's OpenStax content is color- coded in black ink. Supplementary information concerning speech-language pathology appears in blue ink. The original OpenStax texts are accessible free of charge at https://openstax.org/subjects. This textbook incorporates applicable content from the OpenStax books, Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, and Biology for AP® Course.
This textbook additionally contains various images produced by the renowned Dr. Willard R. Zemlin (1929-1998) with permission. Dr. Zemlin was one of the leading scholars in anatomy and physiology concerning communication sciences and disorders. Dr. Zemlin's son, Mr. Karl Zemlin, kindly sharpened numerous images to provide high-resolution pictures. Mr. Zemlin expressed gratitude for the generosity of those who donated their bodies to science throughout his father's studies. A comprehensive collection of Dr. Zemlin's work is accessible at his memorial website http://zemlin.shs.uiuc.edu/zemlinBio.htm, which Mr. Zemlin manages.
This textbook also includes additional information from Wikimedia Commons, and various information from the agencies of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Wiki Common offers various information under Creative Common (CC) licenses, allowing the use and remix of the materials. The images and information from the U.S. federal government are in the public domain. This textbook would not have been possible without the contributions of OpenStax, Mr. Karl Zemlin, and the generous providers of Wiki Common resources. We sincerely appreciate their support. We have made this textbook available for our future colleagues to gain entry-level scientific knowledge applicable for serving individuals with communication disorders.

Refraction of light by the eye and three types of refractive errors: myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism

NGSS: MS-LS1-3:  Lesson following a Gather, Reason, Communicate format for middle to high school science course.  

As part of the engineering design process to create testable model heart valves, students learn about the forces at play in the human body to open and close aortic valves. They learn about blood flow forces, elasticity, stress, strain, valve structure and tissue properties, and Young's modulus, including laminar and oscillatory flow, stress vs. strain relationship and how to calculate Young's modulus. They complete some practice problems that use the equations learned in the lesson mathematical functions that relate to the functioning of the human heart. With this understanding, students are ready for the associated activity, during which they research and test materials and incorporate the most suitable to design, build and test their own prototype model heart valves.

The concept of process-based authentic assessment involves testing students' abilities and knowledge in real-world scenarios utilizing creative learning experiences. It is a technique for assessing student learning and performance that emphasizes on the steps or processes necessary to resolve a problem or finish a task in the real-life setting. The skills, information, and behaviors that students will need to succeed in their future career or personal life will be evaluated through the use of assessments that simulate real-world scenarios. In comparison to typical paper-and-pencil assessments, this sort of assessment often involves projects, case studies, or simulations. Its goal is to give students a greater sense of purpose and relevance.
