Tissue in your body is used to help your body move to bend over and pick up a box that is on the floor. Muscular tissue is used to move muscles and bones and connective tissue connects the muscles/tendons to the bones to help with movement. Nervous tissue is also used. It’s needed to tell you to pick up the box and tell your muscles and bones to move the way you do to bend over to pick the box up. First, the rectus abdominus pulls forward to bend over, the latissimus dorsi and gluteus maximus…

Never Let Me Go is a sci-fi movie about humans advances in science. Humans can live up to 200 years, as they created clones as they are predestined “organ donors.” Though that sounds like an astounding advancement in science, we see the perspective of these medical advances through those of the clones. Though sci-fi, the movie details on real life problems about the dehumanization of science and how one’s life can be left out in the pursuit scientific efforts for others to live through all…

sometimes dark history of cadaver usage and medicine, raising important questions about ethical and moral concerns related to those actions taken for the sake of increasing scientific knowledge. From being used as crash-test dummies to practice for anatomy students to populating body farms in the name of forensic science, human cadavers have been put to use in many, and often shocking, ways. However, the general public is unaware of what happens beyond those medical school dissections and the…

I’ve always been interested in how and why things work the way they do. The body works like a machine but it’s so much more intricate. The deeper you look the more there is to learn. However beautiful these complexities, they also mean there are a vast number of ways malfunctions can occur. I want to be there for patients and rectify these issues. Many professionals along the way have influenced me to pursue a career in health. Most notably, my pediatrician, Dr. Wilson, who has been more of a…

are what actually moves the body in various ways and are attached to skeletal muscle. The skeleton helps a human being run, walk, swim, etc. The skeleton also takes part in the production of blood cells. Red bone marrow produces white blood cells which aid in the immune system, as well as red blood cells which circulate and carry oxygen throughout the body. Bones are also a good storage for various minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Bones absorb and release minerals as the body needs them.…

The ethics of Organ Transplantation. Since the first organ transplantation in 1954 we have made significant medical advances in the practice, at this point it has progressed to where the major problem associated with it is not the surgery-related mortality that plagued early attempts, but the availability of viable organs for transplantation. Attempts to solve this conundrum, and meet the demand for organs, have resulted in a plethora of other issues, around the world doctors and patients alike…

In 1984 to streamline organ donation the legislation called the Transplantation of Human Act was passed in India. The act accepeted Brain death as a form of death and made the sales of organs a punishable offense. To overcome organ shortage, developed countries are re-looking at the ethics of unrelated programs and there seems to be a move towards making this an acceptable legal alternative. Both state and legislature have been put in in place to provide the safest and most equitable system for…

The image I can’t get out of my head was how tired, unhealthy, and curved my back was. I was constantly having appointments with a doctor or specialist. I missed a lot of school and spent a lot of time in bed. My story really begins in February 2012 when I had spinal cord surgery at Children’s Hospital in Seattle. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was young but in February the curve of my spine was at 47 degrees, I was sent for an MRI that showed I had a tethered cord. My surgery was…

The Respiratory System is the system in the human body that allows us breathe properly and efficiently. The system is split into two…

Many people believe that they should be rewarded for saving another person's life by donating an organ to those in need, claiming that they had a choice, so they are entitled to tribute, or reward, for making the right decision! Organ donation is “the process of removing tissues along with organs from a human body for the purposes of transplanting” which, in many countries, the patients are expected to pay for. The sale of human organs should be illegal because the system for distributing organs…
