Dental anatomy

I am a compilation of firsts and I have never been more proud of this fact than I am now. To begin, I am the first of my immediate family to attend and graduate from a four year university. Both of my parents graduated from high school and then joined the United States Navy afterwards. While both gained a tremendous amount of knowledge throughout their career in the military and in life, neither had pursued a college education. My mother was the closest of the two. She was planning on attending…

James Alex Plunk FHS Sickness and Healing Cooper The Progression of Anatomy Anatomy is the study of the components that make up the human body. Throughout history, it has faced technological and social challenges that have hindered its growth and have resulted in various errors made by significant leaders in the world of medicine. The distinction between the eras of anatomical knowledge can be differentiated by the dominating theories of the times or their respective key medical figures. The…

to evaluate, I thought of all of the things that I would want if I was a student. The ease of navigation, the available content, the accuracy of the content, and if the information is age appropriate. In my search, I came across the app called Anatomy and Physiology 3D Free: Anatomical Model of the Human Body. This was a free app that I was able to download within a few minutes on my personal iPad. Total size of the app is 723 MB. The web rating is 12+. A brief summary of the app was…

Vanessa Ruiz: The spellbinding art of human anatomy Ruiz explains the history of anatomical drawings, their main and vital medical purpose, as well as the artistic quality that has been seen time and time again. This talk explained the idea that the drawings are not just for scientific purposes, but also art because of the emotions they demand from people; curiosity, joy, disgust. She says that “fear of anatomy and guts is a learned reaction”. This is proven by a particularly interesting artist…

The study of anatomy and physiology. Anatomy is the scientific term for the study of the body structure and physiology is the term for the study of the function of the body’s organs. During the class, we dissected a pig. We did it to compare the human body and its organ systems with the pig body because they are similar in function. We defined each system and the organs that belong to each one. In anatomy and physiology class we learn about the human body and its composition. To see and learn…

the desire to gain the knowledge and skills to become part of their world. I vaguely remember sitting at my desk wondering what led me to the Health Sciences and Technology class. I know my two older sisters are part of the medical field; one is a Dental Assistant and the other a Medical Assistant. However, my sisters’ interest in the medical field didn’t seem to affect me. Health Sciences just sounded like a good class. Besides, all the other freshman electives in high school didn’t catch my…

Introduction As we all know, that anatomy is one of the historical subject and is still continuously being taught on due to its importance. The study itself begins as early as 1600 BC, with the emerging of Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus. The study during this era is mostly description on some parts of the human body. During the time of Aristotle, dissection was implemented on animal and this leads to founding of comparative anatomy subject. It was not until during the reign of King Ptolemy that…

Through the dissection of the rat, my lab partner and I were able to gain a better understanding of the animal’s anatomy by viewing it’s external organs, as well, after careful incisions, viewing the inside of the rat’s anatomy. The rat is a typical mammal, with a head, clearly defined neck, trunk and tail. As such, the rat has two unique aspects that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates: an external covering of hair and mammary glands. As a vertebrate mammal, much of the rat’s structural…

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…

Brilliant people made historical, dental advancements possible. Since the beginning of history, people have worked to expand the field of dentistry. Between 500 and 300 BC, Hippocrates and Aristotle documented the eruption pattern of teeth along with the treatment of decayed teeth. The two also established the use of extracting teeth with forceps and the ability to use wires to correct loose teeth and fractured jaws. The 1700s, one of the most productive centuries for dental advancements,…
