Personal statement Circulatory,nervous and the respiratory systems, few of the most important components making up parts of the organ systems! All working as a unit allowing us to be the Homo sapiens we are today.These findings would not have been possible without the further enhancement of medicine. Although the studies of the human body have been interesting for me, my interest in medicine didn't start from an academic point of view rather from a personal experience which happened to me as a…

The integumentary system is commonly known for one of many visible complex organ systems. The system is made up of skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves. The integumentary system shields the body from substances in the outside world. It holds body fluids, protects the body from a disease, removes waste products, and regulates the body’s temperature. While accommodating to do all of that, the integumentary systems teams up with many systems in your body. All of those systems each sustain internal…

Should organs be legal to sell around the world? Sally Satel, a practicing psychiatrist and kidney receiver, believes so. Satel states that there is a global organ shortage, and that has to do with kidney selling being illegal. In order to make organ selling legal, one would have to price a kidney at $50,000, and implement rigorous health screening. However, what Satel argues in “Why We Need a Market for Human Organs,” reprinted from The Wall Street Journal, is a high risk, high reward deal task…

The position of the foramen magnum, the length of the leg, the shape of the spine and pelvis are four of the seven steps of bipedality. The position of the foramen magnum is located in the bottom of the skull, near the teeth in humans, and in the rear area for apes. This distinguish humans and apes because it demonstrates that the human head sits on the body rather than on the front of the body, like apes. The shape of the spine is s-shaped for humans and c-shaped for apes. Specifically, in…

When a human dies, his or her body gets decomposed until there is nothing left but bare bones. This phenomenon is possible due to millions of bacteria that exist in around us.They essentially feast on the cells, breaking the human’s building blocks down for their own use. But if the living and the dead are composed of the same fundamental materials, what prevents us, the living, from being devoured by the horde of hungry pathogens? The answer lies in the body’s immune system. The story starts…

There are several approaches for addressing this problem like artificial organs, xenotransplantation, etc. But these have other limitations like expensive organ- transplant…

Core training is an important method to stabilize the body trunk (Park & Yu, 2013). Athletes train in order to stabilize the spine, abdomen, and pelvis in order to be able to accomplish functional movements and to reduce the stress on the spine in order to avoid lower back pain (Park & Yu, 2013). Research has shown several techniques and exercises in order to produce this stabilization two of which are the bracing maneuver and the drawing-in maneuver. There are several researchers that work to…

Scoliosis is a condition where a child has a curve to their spine, with an unknown cause. Often times this curve is seen as an S-shape or C-shape during an examination of the spine. There are two types of scoliosis: structural and nonstructural. Structural scoliosis is a curve along the spine that affects the vertebral movement of the spine. Nonstructural scoliosis is caused by an effect, not by the spine but results from poor posture, differences in leg length, or an uneven gait. If…
