ParticipantThank you for breaking it down fantastic job!
ParticipantYou did a great job explaining!
ParticipantLove your breakdown of the different parts!
ParticipantA neuron is a nerve cell. A nerve cell is made up of three parts the cell body, dendrites, and axon. It has one main function a major one and that is to receive information and transmit the possibility of an action for our whole entire body. From reacting to a deer running across the road to a blinking. These occur because our nerve cells speak to each other carrying information. Our body has over a 1000 different kinds of neurons.
The cell body also called the soma is the cells way of living, its life support. It contains a nucleus and many other specialized organelles. The dendrites are short and bushy fibrous roots that transmit information.They can be found around the soma and can be more than one set of dendrites. The axon works as the way of communication on a trail-like structure delivering electrical impulses from the cell body through the axon to pass info to another neuron. Neurons have one main axon. Axons join the cell body by a junction called the axon hillock. Axons are covered in myelin sheaths. Myelin sheath is a fatty substance of liquid and protein that layers the axons causing insulation. When the signals travel through the axons it has the node of ranvier to make it faster as it delivers a message via synapse. Synapse is when a neuron delivers a chemical or electrical signal to another neuron via the axon.
ParticipantGreat job explaining the differences!
ParticipantThe differences between the two blood vessels artery and vein are significant. An arteries job is to carry oxygenated blood with high pressure through the body. It’s a thick elastic like blood vessels that live deep under the skin. An artery can be felt they have a pulse due to coming from the pumping heart so it copies its behavior pumping with strong flow to make it get to all organs. While a veins job is to bring back all the deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart to be deoxygenated and distributed through the arteries again. The veins live close to the skin and do not have any pulse so they cannot be felt. The blood vessel walls on veins are thin. Blood flows slowly with very low pressure back to the heart which requires it to have valves so the blood does not go back.
The heart is a muscle organ with four chambers whose functions are vital to our body. The four chambers are in charge of pushing oxygenated blood through the body to all organs and receiving the deoxygenated blood back and preparing it with more oxygen to get pushed back through the body for distribution. The names of the four chambers are right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. Each has a very important job that is essential to the heart’s job. The four chambers work together recycling creating blood and pushing it to flow through to keep our bodies alive.
ParticipantAgree, very useful video but yes I do also wish we had clarity.
ParticipantI also loved learning that focusing on visual images helps the brain receive more information. Agree definitely a great tool.
ParticipantI really enjoyed that video it was very informative. I learned about various techniques medical interpreters can use to have success day to day. How our ears are not most important to have good mental retention but our eyes are. Some of the techniques are visualization, making a timeline, note taking, idea mapping, learning vocab, backward reading, dieting and eating. I am happy I was taught all of this information to put into work when assisting the providers and patients during the visits.
ParticipantI love the way you pointed out stress because that is very true!
Great metaphor “When someone is anxious or overwhelmed, the brain has a hard time focusing and storing new information. It’s like trying to pour water into a cup that’s already full.”
ParticipantLove the way you put that great job explaining.
ParticipantGood mental retention is inhibited by many things. Studies show sleep as one of the key components. Lacking sleep can cause you to make mistakes and not accurately do your job interpreting to the best of your abilities. During a research it was discovered that sleep is when the memory consolidates. During the consolidation when in the deepest sleep REM, the body works together enhancing your memories activity. Not giving your body the proper rest has a negative impact on many crucial body functions. Another thing that affects mental retention is your health, how much you pour into your body. If you don’t exercise or eat healthy that also affects drastically as certain diseases cause your memory to decline.
It has been proven good mental retention is a key component to our success. Successful interpreters are alert and present. We can listen striving for one thing only, to be accurate when interpreting to provide correct information. In order to do that we must practice good mental retention. So we can make out what words mean in those moments we hear something new. So we can listen and retain it to then say it back.
ParticipantWhat a fantastic explanation! Great job
ParticipantVery good point made Brian like the way you explained with examples what suffixes and prefixes are
ParticipantAs a Medical interpreter it would be very useful to know and understand the suffixes and prefixes in medical terminology. When serving as an interpreter we are in medical practices accompanying patients and providers so they on the same page. This is where medical terminology is utilized and we may not always know what they are saying so this allows the words to be broken into parts to make sense of it and inform other party what is being said. If we learn suffixes and prefixes it gives us a chance to help more waste less time because we didn’t know the meaning of the word. Also if we don’t know suffixes or prefixes we are at risk for providing incorrect information to either party.
