Anatomy

A few years ago my parents introduced me to one of the most watched television shows in the United States, "Grey's Anatomy." Though the show was mainly advertised to showcase the drama aspect of it, I was only drawn to its medical component and the extraordinary ways the producer of "Grey's Anatomy" presented the characters. The ways the doctors did everything they could to save their patients, especially when they were in unusual situations that required them to make use of techniques they have…

to evaluate, I thought of all of the things that I would want if I was a student. The ease of navigation, the available content, the accuracy of the content, and if the information is age appropriate. In my search, I came across the app called Anatomy and Physiology 3D Free: Anatomical Model of the Human Body. This was a free app that I was able to download within a few minutes on my personal iPad. Total size of the app is 723 MB. The web rating is 12+. A brief summary of the app was…

perfection of the human form that fifteenth century artists sought to immortalize. Driven by common humanist beliefs, sculpting a lifelike physique demanded knowledge and comprehension of anatomy beyond the barrier of human skin. Leonardo da Vinci along with many other artists used their fascination with anatomy and human structure to help shape the figures in their own art. Artists were often commissioned by physicians to create detailed drawings of the dissections. These diagrams were used as…

to hear from upper medical students that it is something to be exposed to early because it is used and talked about it many areas of basic science research. Solving case studies was applicable because as I was learning about different systems in anatomy I was able to apply that knowledge in what seemed like the closest thing to a “differential diagnosis” situation for a year one medical student.…

My loving mother, ever since my early childhood has imbibed the importance of transcendence in me. She used to say, ‘Whatever you do, always aim to achieve excellence in it.’ And I have been following it since then. I started rising and shining in school grades, sports, music and various competitions in school. I also got unique opportunities to represent my school in various elocution and academic contests at state & regional levels. This hard work and strive for supremacy honored me with…

Thank you for everything you have done for me throughout my high school career. I feel fortunate to have had you for both biology and anatomy. I remember our 4th quarter project freshman and junior year. In biology, I had to research a career that interested me and present it to the class. During this project, I discovered I was interested in becoming a nurse anesthetist. Junior year we had to do a similar project, but take it one step farther and shadow a person in our chosen field. At this…

earliest known description of the pancreas is attributed to Herophilus of Chalcedon (300 B.C.), a Greek physician deemed to be one of the first human anatomist and adopter of the scientific method (1). Despite Herophilus’s pioneering research on human anatomy, he received public criticism and was referred to as the ‘butcher’ of Alexandria – for his innumerable human dissections and gruesome vivisections performed before public audiences (2). The name ‘pancreas’ was later coined by Rufus (100…

There are many to choose from but I also must have the right prerequisites to get accepted into these programs. Some classes that are needed are like chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology and many more. In addition to classes I need experience working with patients, many schools require a minimum of 1000 hours of direct patient care. Another prerequisite is shadowing a Physician’s Assistant, this allows the…

LOCOMOTION BY B. SIDELL ABSTRACT -- Puffins, one of the few wing-propelled diving birds, are specialized into a specific niche. By balancing the optimization of their bodies for locomotion between the two media of air and sea water created a unique anatomy for a bird. The evolution of Auks, which includes the puffin, shows a mixture of characteristics similar to those of the ultimate diving bird, the penguin, and the large-winged flyers, such as the pelican. Wing-propelled diving has evolved…
