Planarian Body Structure Of Isopropanol

Improved Essays
Revolution against the basic evolutionary developmental biology arises with the astounding repair capacity of the planarian robust self assembly system and its automatic repair ability of its body structures. With its complex body plan and nervous system, a planaria possess the ability to flawlessly regenerate any part of their body after a traumatic injury or loss. It is capable of recovering its original structure and function of any damaged or obliterated body part even after being deprived of more than 99.5% of the original constitutive body part (Beane, W. S., et al., 2012). This practical immortality achieved is due to the presence of an abundant quantity of stem cell populations (Beane, W. S., et al., 2012). Planarian body structure corresponds greatly to its function and accommodating to surrounding and lifestyle. Their body structure displays bilateral symmetry, and presenting the contrasting characteristics separating the anterior and posterior segments (Beane, W. S., et al., 2012). …show more content…
B., 2012). With its bacterial activity it became a common usage as a topical disinfectant in killing bacteria and is often applied before needle penetration in medical facilities. Isopropyl alcohol can be an anti infective agent, Central Nervous system depressant, or solvent (Ledgard, Jared. B., 2012). Isopropyl alcohol is also a depressant with an effect of decreasing the response of the central nervous

    The top cover of the petri dish was put back on and the planarian was put back into the cabinet. The shocking process was conducted 5 days a week and once per day. However, the feeding process was either 2 or 3 times a week and it was also done once per day. A month after testing the planarian, it was time for it to be cut and regenerated to see which half would respond to the flash of light. There had to be a way to cleanly slice the planarian in half so it could perfectly section of the head and tail section.…

    Stem Cell Assignment 1. Summary of “Your Inner Healers” New scientific discoveries have shown that adult mouse cells can be “rewound” to once again be pluripotent like they were in their former embryonic state by adding a mixture of genes to the cells (called induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, or iPSCs). This contradicts the natural progression of cells’ potency as they age: in their early formation, embryonic cells have the ability to mature into any one of the 220 types of human cells, and soon after that they begin to lose potency and are only multipotent — able to develop into just a few different types of cells, until finally they become terminally differentiated, and therefore unable to develop into any other types of cells.…

In order to control the growth and help those who suffer from injuries, defects and degenerative diseases, scientists must learn about the natural molecular tools that animals use to repair damage to their bodies. The medical capabilities of treating patients to regrow limbs or completely regenerate neurons are still a distant goal.…

    Planarian Regeneration Mechanism Subject to Different Cut-Types Introduction: Planarian are flatworms which are common in aqueous regions all across the world. They are often used as models in the study of biomedical and biotech sciences, due to their ability to regenerate. Planarian have such advanced regenerative properties that over 1/279th of the animal can completely regenerate (Handberg et al., 2007). They have powerful regenerative capabilities because they have an abundance of neoblasts (stem-cells) that can divide into many types of tissues (Rink, 2013).…

    Introduction Planaria are a type of flatworms that possess a mammalian nervous system and the ability to regenerate skin cells. The flatworms are used in a variety of experiments, which include chemical responses and experiments upon the regeneration process. When combined with addictive drugs and chemicals, such as cocaine and ethanol, the planaria display paroxysms, motor effects, and c shaped movements (Tallarida et al 2014). The planaria demonstrate their applicability of their systems in multi-drug interactions, and they display visible results in different drug combinations. (Tallarida et all 20014).…

    This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of environmental factors on the regeneration of planarian tail length. Regeneration is the process of regrowth and repair of body parts. This process can occur in many organisms, especially in planaria. The effect of light exposure (full light, shade, dark) on the regeneration of tail lengths of planaria, Dugesia tigrina, was used to test the hypothesis that planarian will regenerate more when placed in complete darkness. 12 planaria were used total in this experiment, 4 in each exposure of light.…

    Researchers have discovered the genetics behind lizards growing their tails back when they fall off. Scientist have studied the ‘green anole lizard’ who loses its tail when caught by a predator. Once it loses its tail the lizard can regenerate it. Researchers have discovered that green anole lizards turn on 326 genes when regenerating their tails. This includes genes involved in embryonic development which is a response wound healing.…

    Alcohol has a significant effect on the brain, acting on neurons and various neurochemicals. It can modify cell membranes, along with their ion channels, enzymes and receptors. Alcohols’ effect on the central nervous system (CNS) is largely due to its action on different neurotransmitters. A major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Alcohol amplifies the effect of GABA by binding to and stimulating GABA receptors, causing the opening of ion channels.…
