Physiology & the Orange
As I tune in to "my orange," I find that it is difficult to separate the sensory input that I am experiencing. My mind seems to put integration on automatic pilot. Before I close my eyes, I find my visual sense to be dominant. I know that I tend to be a visually-oriented person anyway, so this is not really a surprise. But in my attempts to deal with each sensation separately, it is readily apparent that vision stays in the forefront of my awareness. I know from my reading that the brainstem receives information from my eyes and ears and then sends the sensations along to the midbrain.
Once I close my eyes, it becomes easier to focus on the sensations that my fingers and hands are generating as I manipulate the orange. I am aware of the heft and roundness of the fruit, and the texture of the skin seems amplified when I cannot see the surface of the orange. From my reading, I remember that the diencephalon (where the thalamus and the hypothalamus are located) and the telencephalon (where the cerebrum is located) areas of the brain are responsible for transmitting...
As I tear the peel of the orange, I hear it give way, and I feel the small drops of oil make contact with my skin. Remembering my reading, I open my mouth to increase my ability to smell the orange and I am instantly aware of the rich citrusy aroma that is inherent to the orange oil. I know from my reading that my olfactory bulb is responsible for communicating the delightful aroma surrounding me to the limbic area in my brain. I am a bit astonished at how quickly the process of transmitting olfactory information occurs, although the process seems a bit slower than does my brains processing of visual information.
My mind drifts to the city of Florence, Italy, where I encountered blossoming orange trees lining the streets -- and I remember thinking that this backdrop could surely cause someone to fall in love forever --…

Physiology Body Systems Involved in Eating a Snack The first thing I do when eating a snack is to prepare it. In this case, I reach into the cabinet above me and grab a bag of potato chips. I read the label and make sure they are plain chips, because I do not like flavored chips. When I am satisfied they are the type of chip I like, I break open the

Denhardt & Denhardt report that "one aspect of compensation policy that has received substantial attention over the years is the comparability of wages and salaries in the public and private sectors. Efforts to make such comparisons are similar to comparing apples and oranges, thus early studies tended to show public-sector salaries considerably below those in the private sector -- today ranging between 22 and 38%, depending on grade level."
Oranges The purpose of literature is for the author to invoke and emotional reaction by the audience reading that poem. Some works are designed to inspire joy and others are written in the hopes of inspiring fear or longing or sadness. Poets use the tone of the poem to illustrate the emotion of their work. They use imagery such as symbolism to give meaning to things that might not be obvious
