Cell anatomy

as helping our bodies discard waste through sweat. Skeletal - Your skeletal system consists of cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, which help connect all your bones and hold them in place. Your skeletal system is also responsible for the storage of cells, and your bones help protect major organs, like your heart. Muscular - There are three types of muscle in the human body, skeletal muscle, which helps with voluntary movement and is connected to bone. Smooth muscle, helps pass…

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…

Macromolecules are of great interest to the study of anatomy and physiology due to the fact that they carry out most functions of a cell providing it with life. They provides structural support, a source of stored fuel, the ability to store and retrieve genetic information, and ability to speed biochemical reactions (Prakash, 2008). There are four main types of macromolecules including proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid and lipids. This essay is specifically on the study of carboyhdrates as…

relatively void of ECM except for the basal membrane and has a distinctive keratinized layer produced by keratinocytes. Other artifacts of the epidermis include melanocytes, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands; embryonic stem cells and earlier progenitor cells can be used to regenerate hair follicles and sweat glands . The dermis is of mesodermal origin and is has an extensive extracellular matrix for mechanical integrity. The dermis primarily consists…

God created things with specific order and detail for them to function to the purpose he intended. For example, there is beauty in the detail of a cell because a cell is small by itself but it also has microscopic parts that work together to make the cell function. Then the cell combines with other cells to form an organ that works together with other organs to function. The process continues until all the organs work together along with the other details God designed in our…

Many devices, medications, makeups, and other things that are used by humans on a daily bases are tested on animals. These things are all created in labs and go through so many trial and error experiments that the scientists and manufacturers do not want to have to use humans to see if they are safe or not. Instead, they use animals to do their research. But who is to say that testing on animals is the best way to go. There are many other means of testing medications and other products rather…

humans. However, I can see why many are for animal testing because there have been several case studies where drugs were medically accurate for human consumption. One reason animal testing should be removed is that animals and humans are different in anatomy and in the way the body functions. Humans have a profoundly complex…

English scientist credited most famously for the creation of Hooke’s Law (a principle of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance) in 1660 and the discovery of plant cells using a compound microscope in 1663. The compound microscope uses two or more lenses, which are connected by a hollow tube. The top lens (called the eyepiece) is the one that people look through, and the bottom lens is called the objective lens.…

Andreas Vesalius discovered modern day human anatomy that we use today to help us with surgeries, medical school, etc.. Vesalius discoveries have shaped our medical school to be the way it is today. His scientific reasoning has had an immense impact on the way we do things today. In this paper I will be discussing Andreas’ background/personal information, his college adventures, his inspirations, what was known before his discoveries, and other scientists alive at his time. Andreas Vesalius…

in three separate layers - the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the dermis [39]. The protective stratum corneum is the outer layer that we can see, the epidermis is the layer of skin underneath it, and the dermis is the lowermost layer [40]. The cells of the stratum corneum are basically dead, and they protect the body from the harsh outer environment [41]. The epidermis is mostly responsible for producing…
