It is important that the cells grow in along the right shapes, and they use detergents to strip away the cells, which leaves behind a natural scaffold of connective tissues and blood vessels. 2. Explain what is already being accomplished in the areas…
The article “The Subcategories of the Major Tissue Types in Anatomy and Physiology” by Robert Mullis talks about the different kind of major tissues in the human body. Tissue is a group of similar cells working together. There are four types of tissue that do different things: Epithelial, Connective,Muscle and Nervous. For example, the essential functions of epithelial tissues are secretion, absorption, protection, filtration, and excretion. Epithelial tissues are full of sensory receptors that play an important role in the way our bodies react to the environment.…
Effect of studying systems of Fetal pig Purpose The purpose of this pig dissection lab is to organize the body sturcture by observing external anatomy, oral cavity, neck, superficial muscles, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and both male and female reproductive systems. By studying the systems of the pig, it helps understand the systems of the humans because humans and pigs are both mammals which we can assume that systems of pig and human are similar. Results…
“The glue is not one thing; it is a variety of different molecules that connect and lie between our cells” (123). This glue and molecular structure gives each cell and tissue their distinct functions. What makes many different body parts different is how the materials like cells and tissues are arranged and attached to each other, like the eye and leg. This indicates that every tissue alignment is different in it’s own way and can be identified with it’s organism. The author had his students try to identify each tissue under a slide and it is possible, but very…
P2 Task two Tissues The tissues are structures formed by a group of billion of cells with a similar structure. A group of cells together form tissues, tissues from organs and organs are form system organs. There are four different types of basic animal tissue: 1) Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is formed of one or a few layers of cells adhere to a basement membrane.…
Bullfrog Dissection Background The American bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus, is an amphibian about the size of a teacup.(National Geographic, “American Bullfrog”). This dissection explored the anatomy of a bullfrog that had been pithed. Pithing is a technique used to prevent the frog from experiencing any cruel or unusual pain during the dissection. A pithed frog has had its nervous tissue in its brain severed thus allowing it to maintain normal bodily function during the dissection without having to endure the pain of the dissection.…
The muscles of the muscular system keep bones in place; they assist with movement by contracting and pulling on the bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints which are connected to other bones and muscle fibers via connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on each other. Malnutrition and arthritis are examples of disorders and diseases in the body that can severely impair the function of the musculoskeletal system.…
“The only tissue to contract in the body are the muscles therefore they move other parts of the body. The secondary function of the muscular system is the maintenance of posture and body position”. Another function of the muscular system is its ability to move substances inside the body, and the muscles that are responsibly for these movement are the cardiac and the smooth muscles. They transport substance like blood or nutrient/food from one part of the body to another. The muscle are a great generator of heat, a high metabolic rate of constricting muscles in the muscular system excrete…
Name: Antonio RicoDeLaFuente Purpose : This activity was to identify concepts on cells and to learn more about the functions and reproduction of cells within living organisms. Lab Summary: While doing this activity we experimented with bacterial growth and I was able to witness growth in its replication. Through the process of mitosis, I was able to view cellular reproduction.…
Introduction: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst. These cells have the potential to differentiate into any of the 3 embryonic germ layers, and if cultured properly eventually can become any type of cell within the body. Due to the controversy and ethical concerns regarding the use of ES cells, scientists have discovered a way to generate pluripotent cells, by using Human Induced Pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). hiPSC are undifferentiated, embryonic stem cells - like cells that are derived from somatic cells. These cells exhibit similarities in their morphology and gene expression which are also seen in ES cells ( ).…
I really found the chapters challenging this week! Every week, I am more amazed at how complex our bodies are. The amount of different systems, and processes needed to maintain homeostasis constantly. The complex way the body heals itself, is amazing as well. The first year of our lives, our skeletal system replaces itself 100 percent.…
The Insinuations of Food in Modern Society Food in Our Lives At its core, food is a source of fuel needed by our bodies in order to survive. Throughout humanity’s existence, different cultures and nationalities have shaped the ingredients native to their region into something spectacular. Each group of people have developed their own cuisine. Many foods may share similar ingredients but each group carries its own distinction.…
Dissection is just as bad for children as it is for animals. These activities can create insensitive feelings towards animals in some students,. Some may be permanently put off pursuing a career in science. And of course, it is not necessary for students to cut up animals in order to understand basic anatomy and physiology, as many humane non-animal teaching methods, such as computer models and sophisticated simulators, are available. 2.4 Universities, Veterinary and Medical Schools…
Abstract: Every year, more than 11 billion pounds of unused feathers result from the poultry industry worldwide, which in effect impose a difficult disposal process to the environment. Chicken feathers are an abundant, inconvenient and troublesome waste product from the poultry industry that can be utilised as a source of keratin. In addition to keratin, feathers contain other fatty and waxy substances. An original chicken feather contains many biological organisms together with other dirt from when they were plucked from chickens. Unprocessed chicken feathers are potentially biologically hazardous, due to the presence of blood borne pathogens, so it is imperative that they are decontaminated upon receipt.…
Breast cancer is the second highest cause of cancer death among females. There are two main types of breast cancer and several that are less known but just as serious. Easy intervention is your best chance at fighting this potential life threatening illness. There are many symptoms a person may find to determine you should consult a doctor. Treatment options for breast cancer may vary depending upon what type of breast cancer and what stage of cancer is determined.…
