The three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is a species of fish that exhibits a wide range of morphological variation within its subspecies, which typically fit into two categories, anadromous (spawn in freshwater, migrate from saltwater) and freshwater varieties. Saltwater marine varieties of the fish typically have two dorsal spines, along with a pelvic spine. These spines, as studies have shown, act as a defense mechanism against soft-mouthed predators, by increasing the diameter…

Miriam Schulman, the director of Markkula for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, who wrote Kidneys for Sale: A Reconsideration, believes it goes far beyond saving lives. Anthony Gregory, a research fellow and student programs director at the Independent Institute, and the author of Why Legalizing Organ Sales Would…

What is a narwhal? A narwhale, or Monodon Monoceros, is a pale-colored porpoise mammal that lives in the Arctic ocean. They weight as much as 1.5 tons and are 13 to 20 feet long. Narwhals grow two teeth. In males, the more prominent tooth grows into a spiral tusk. The tusks grow up to 8.8 feet long. This tusk grows through the narwhal’s upper lip. Females can too grow a small tusk, but it doesn’t get nearly as big as the male’s. The purpose of the tusk is unknown, but scientist believe it is…

over 200 private oocyte, female egg, donation agencies. The women that donate are paid about $5,000- $8,000 per donation and this has caused many women to donate. Although many of the agencies deny that they are buying oocytes, but instead are paying the women for their “time and inconvenience,” thus a loophole.

I am writing this paper to tell you this certain medical practice is in fact a real deal. Sergio Canavero, a renowned European doctor, is the preeminent guy for this expensive yet surgical phenomenon. Canavero is…

The enigma of the human body always intrigued me. It was first brought to my attention when I learned that my father was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. In part, the strong genetic disposition in my family history sparked my interest in medicine. Without modern medicine, he might have not lived for long. What motivated me even further is the complex mechanisms of the human body, which would prove to be a continual topic of study. In turn, I would like to become part of this pivotal system…

Understanding the basics of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology is key for the safety of your students. It can help prevent injuries and can help those with prior injuries or limitations to practice safely. When designing your practice, it can help with sequencing, as you are aware of hat proper alignment can do for the student. Anatomy includes the major muscles and bones. Physiology defines what certain parts of your body do and how they do it. Kinesiology is the study of muscular movement…

Sitting at a desk or performing repetitive tasks for 40 or more hours a week is common in most workplaces. Compared to standing, “sitting decreases lumbar lordosis, and increases low back muscle activity, disc pressure, and pressure on ischium.” (p1) These musculoskeletal changes are all associated with occupational low back pain. It was reported that at some point in their life about 80 percent of adults experienced low back pain.2 Low back pain is the most common job-related disability and is…
