They are responsible in receiving oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. However, the exchange of gases takes place in the lungs making them an important organ of the breathing process. RBC’s gather oxygen from the lungs transferring it to other parts of the body. During this process the RBC’s gather carbon dioxide and transfers…

“The current American prison system is a leviathan unmatched in human history.” (Loury, 4). A leviathan; a beast as old as the book of Job, and even when made a myth, incessantly feared. A leviathan, an immovable force by which any hope of subduing is false, and the mere sight of is overpowering. Made to be an indestructible being, “king over all that are proud,” a leviathan doesn’t just describe the American prison system, but the institution racism has created in America as a whole. Prison,…

electrical activity and the flow of chemicals into various regions of the brain. A pinhead size cluster of cells called the ventrolateral preoptics nucleus (VLPO) send signals to arousal centres to stop producing histamine and other chemicals that keep us awake. Another cell cluster called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) generates the “wake-up” cue that signals the VLPO to stop activating the arousal system. There are three stages of sleep that are cycled throughout each night, each with…

In the Name of Freedom/Fear??? The fear drove her forward; her lungs burned as she pushed herself harder in an attempt to distance herself from the scene. The roar of the sirens drowned out all the other sounds of the city. The woman ducked into a dimly lit alley, and prayed to find some respite from the horror of her night.

The sun was rising scantily when I got home. My phone read 05:36 a.m., so no one was awake yet. My mother didn't wake up until around 07:00 and my brothers slept until about 12:00. I pulled open my window, slipping into my room silently before collapsing onto my bed. I was exhausted and I fell asleep almost instantly. But, I didn't sleep for long. "Brianna Carver!" My mother yelled as she entered my room. I jumped up in panic to see her standing in front of me with her arms crossed. "Where…
