Cardiac anatomy

needed time to study each word, memorizing is not enough. Memorizing a word signals the brain that the word has been seen, but it does not identify the word with the meaning. 2) What resources can you utilize to learn medical terminology, as well as anatomy/physiology? There are many resources that you can pull from and use to learn medical terminology, here are two that I think would be helpful. From experience I think flash cards are…

In a recent interview, an interviewer seemed very doubtful in my abilities to do well in medical school because I took my MCAT three times. This has been on my mind a lot and made me wonder if the admissions committee here had the same notion. I would like to spend time to clarify and hopefully eliminate any doubts the committee may have in my ability to do well in medical school and also be a great clinician. Some may view the fact that I took the MCAT three times as it took me three tries to…

The pressure of finding who you are or what you want to become in the future can be quite challenging. There are a list of things that I can do in life. It also take time to find who you are. It may take time for others, but once you find something that you will love to do. The best thing to do is to work for it and if it is not what you plan it would be. Well, there will be another journey that you will go through and that just makes you grow as a person. My love for math and science all…

1. Do you wish to include any comments (in addition to those already provided in your AMCAS application) to the Admissions Committee at Tufts University School of Medicine? Through my unconventional path to this point, I have encountered a number unique and broad experiences. Not all of these experiences have been becoming. Nonetheless, I have taken great strides to learn from these experiences and use them to make me into a better person. I also believe these experiences will shape me into a…

Every year thousands of prospective medical students spend hundreds of thousands of dollars paying for tuition, only to find out that a medical profession does not suit them. Many people aspire to become doctors, whether it be to help others or for the high salary. Yet, they often do not know the difficulties faced by doctors as they study in college, become admitted to medical school, complete their residency, and find the work setting that best suits them. The purpose of this research project…

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…

my time just thinking about my pacemaker and other surgeries that go on, on a day to day basis. I’ve have been told the common information about why I needed it but I always wanted to know more about certain surgeries. My mom happens to be a cardiac nurse. I grew up knowing some of her weird stories from her work and I always had an interest in some of the tools she would bring home with her, which were child-friendly of course. These stories…

“A muscle is a tissue composed of cells or fibres, the contraction of which produces movement in the body.” (Dictionary) There are three different types of muscle; voluntary skeletal muscle, involuntary smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Muscles have many different functions within the body. One function of muscle is movement. It is the only tissue in the body which is able to contract and therefore can move more than other body parts. Another function is the maintenance of posture. The muscles…

Cardiac Arrhythmia is an anomaly in the Heart which can be diagnosed with the help of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. ECG signal is a diagrammatic representation of the cardiac signal, which is most important biomedical signal, taken for the feature extraction. Since it is very difficult to analyse the ECG signal due to the size, noise and changes in the signal, automatic system for ECG signal processing is essential. For this, ECG signal is processed using wavelets based signal processing,…

functions. It aids in digestion and allows the heart to work. Some muscles are autonomous, or work by themselves, while others are controlled by the nervous system. Four tissues/organs of the muscular system are cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and the heart. Cardiac muscle is they type of muscle that makes up the heart and is autonomous. The heart is a muscle that is crucial to survival. Smooth muscle lines the inner digestive tract. It contracts to allow food to proceed…
