Humans have been testing on animals for hundreds of years now while having the ongoing debate of whether or not animal testing is ethical. [Common Ground] However, many people have not considered what is necessary and what is unnecessary when it comes to animal testing [Destabilizing Condition]. Without the use of animals in the drug industry, many important vaccines would not have been discovered, leading to millions of human deaths. In addition, the use of animals in psychology has allowed us…

The nervous system makes it possible for animals to know and react to the environment around them. A change or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue is a stimulus. There can either be an internal or an external stimulus. Internal stimulus being something like hunger or pain, while external is more along the lines of a sound or an odor. The nervous system interprets stimuli and orders other organ systems to respond. The nervous system does so through using sensory…

processing and interpreting sensory information in the environment, making them crucial features for many organisms to survive. The eye serves many functions, most of which are associated with a specific structure of this organ. For example, the lens, cornea, and iris are necessary for the optic capabilities of the eye. Light sensing is performed by photoreceptors located in the retinal pigmented epithelium. Transmission by the eye is performed by the retina and the optic nerve. Lastly, display…

My Senior Year Experience The year we waited 3 long years for, being up before sun rise, hearing a jail bell every 54 minutes indicating that it was time for the next hell of a class to begin. Scary lunches you couldn’t really identify as Pizza. Having to repeat that day in and day out, until that last sweet sounding bell of the day that told you it’s now time to go home and take that meant to be 2 hour nap that ended being a 6 hour nap.

Løken-Senior syndrome is “a rare, ciliopathic, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by nephronophthisis and progressive eye disease (“Løken-Senior Syndrome” 2003). Estimates show that most rare diseases have identified genetic origins (“Rare Disease” n.d., para 5). In addition, genetic research has suggested that a large number of genetic disorders that were not previously identified as related are actually highly related in the genotypical root cause of the disorders. Løken-Senior…

cerebellum. They are the two largest parts of the brain that before were viewed as one before Herophilus dissections. He placed the individual importance on the cerebrum and cerebellum. Through his dissection of the eye sections and layers of the eye: the cornea, the retina, the iris, and the choroid. He discovered that without the optic nerve we would not have any movement. All of his discoveries shaped how we perceived the human body and made huge leaps in the medical…

Chapter 1 Introduction Digital photography is a form of photography that uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photodetectors to capture images focused by a lens, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. Here images are captured and stored in file for further processing. Digital photography aims to produce an image that gives an illusion of a real environmental image. Inorder to produce an image that provides visual richness and sets the mood of the environment the important…

Animal testing has been used for 150 years, various tests can be performed, and all have many different purposes.

During the 19th century the use of animals, for scientific research had boomed, along with anesthetics. Due to this, in 1876, the Cruelty to Animals Act was passed, making it the first…
