Dendrites are branching projections that receive messages (impulses) from other neurons. What are axons responsible for? Axons are tube like structures that transmits signals over a great distance to other neurons, muscles and organs, although not all neurons have axons. What is the cell body responsible for…

Most of the time a person can recover from a burn without any complications, given this also depends on the severity of the burn itself. But there are the more serious burns that do require medical attention, and even with medical attention the people who suffer from severe burns can be…

The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth & development, sexual function, reproduction, sleep & mood, and tissue function. The endocrine system is made up of the pituitary gland, thryroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testicles. (Frucht, 2012 p.315). A gland selects and removes materials from the blood, hormones then travel through the blood to target organs to adjust their activity. This system…

degree of burn. If the burn is first degree, then the damaged layer of the skin peels away, revealing the healthy layer, and no scarring is present. If the burn is second degree, then blisters can be present, and the deconstruction of the epidermis and dermis will occur. Partial thickness should heal in 10-21 days and scarring will appear minimal without a skin graft. Full thickness will usually need skin grafting in order for it to heal properly. As for the third degree, every layer of the skin…

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: The Rare, Acquired, Chronic Disease of Blister Formation Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita (EBA) is a rare, acquired, autoimmune disease that produces the formation of blisters on the skin after minor trauma (“Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinic”, 2015). Due to small rubs and strains, blisters are commonly seen on the skin. EBA does not only affect the skin, but it can also affect the eyes, nails, mouth, esophagus, and lungs.

In this lab I examined and drew different samples of slides and then categorized these slides into a logical evolutionary order. The first sample that most likely came first in the evolutionary order is the typical bacteria, which I viewed at a 1000 magnification. These bacteria can be found in the Eubacteria domain and kingdom. The bacteria in my sample were coccus, which means that the bacterium has a round shape, and this type of bacteria is one of the simplest forms of bacteria. These cells…
