Have you ever had an embarrassing acne breakout? It is most likely that you have, because eight out of ten people have experienced a breakout in their lifetime ("Why"). If such a situation occurs trying to pop the acne is not the best way to get rid of it, and would likely cause scarring. Instead, see a dermatologist. Dermatologists help treat people with conditions of the skin, hair, and nails ("About Dermatology"). Helping people feel good about their appearance and health is something that I would like to do for my career, thus I chose to research dermatology. Becoming a dermatologist is no easy task, but Durant High School offers Health Occupational Students of America (HOSA) and health science classes which may make people’s goals of getting into a medical profession easier to achieve by exposing the student to health professions while in high school. Outside of high school is when the reality of becoming a dermatologist is more challenging. To become a dermatologist one must attend medical school, and obtain a Medical Doctorate. All of college from the baccalaureate degree to the medical degree is expensive, and one must be very intelligent to complete it; which is a limiting factor. Getting into and completing medical school isn’t an easy task to accomplish but once the student graduates and gets all their certification, getting a job is the easy part ("DERMATOLOGISTS."). Dermatology has a few limiting factors. Not everyone can handle looking at or being around…

The radio segment begins with a psychologist by the name of Gordon Burghardt. Burghardt studies snakes particularly the hognose snake. Gordon studies them by putting a chicken puppet inside the cage and begins to attack the snake with this puppet. The snake reacts by flipping over on its back, starts to bleed from…

nervous system function more or less in speech or hearing; these are the cranial nerves V (Trigeminal), VII (Facial), VIII (Vestibulocochlear), IX (Glossopharyngeal), X (Vagus), XI (Spinal Accessory), and XII (Hypoglossal). These have particular roles other than assisting speech or hearing.

But the interpretations…

We learn micro expressions so we can gain a broader perspective of how we interact with people, and achieve a greater perspective on situations. Also with the knowledge of micro expressions we can protect against deception, and manipulate or guide the perceptions of other people (Scheve, n.d.). A coding analyst named Dan Hill is able to take facial cues from people and use them to figure out if they are selfish, inclined to get into trouble or will fail under pressure. He then uses that…

Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder or autoimmune disorder. An autoimmune disorder occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissue. Neuromuscular disorders involve the muscles and the nerves that control them. With myasthenia gravis, the body produces antibodies that block the muscle cells from receiving messages (neurotransmitters) from the nerve, which causes weakness of the voluntary muscles. Therefore, fewer receptors are available for stimulation, resulting…
