Germ layer

(http://kidshealth.org/en/parents/breast-bottle-feeding.html). Due to the many benefits in the breast milk, those who drink it will have a smaller chance of being hospitalized due to infections. This happens because “during breastfeeding, antibodies and other germ-fighting factors pass from a mother to her baby and strengthen the immune system. This helps lower a baby's chances of getting many infections,” (http://kidshealth.org/en/parents/breast-bottle-feeding.html) These infections include…

Health as, “Primitive (undifferentiated) cells derived from a 5-day preimplantation embryo that are capable of dividing without differentiating for a prolonged period in culture, and are known to develop into cells and tissues of the three primary germ layers” (2015). Somatic stem cells are defined…

Whether we notice it or not, chemistry lives in our bodies. Things such as skin conditions, digestion, breathing, and hair growth all deal with chemistry in their own way. They all have certain chemical reactions and chemical changes that affect the way our bodies work. Even though we study different curriculums during chemistry such as the chemical equations, chemical reactions, and other things we have learned go far beyond what is said in class. During food digestion there are…

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder that allows for some treatment, however the average life expectancy of a patient will Sickle cell anemia is only 30 years. An inherited gene causes the hemoglobin in the blood to become misshaped. Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cells (RBC) that carries the oxygen to all of the body’s tissues and organs. This leads to inadequate amounts of oxygen to be carried on the hemoglobin, thus resulting in insufficient oxygenation for…

Introduction: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst. These cells have the potential to differentiate into any of the 3 embryonic germ layers, and if cultured properly eventually can become any type of cell within the body. Due to the controversy and ethical concerns regarding the use of ES cells, scientists have discovered a way to generate pluripotent cells, by using Human Induced Pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC).…

Embryonic Stem Cell Research Samantha Sigman November 10th, 2014 Genetics Metropolitan Community College Typically, someone or something is special because of the uniqueness it fosters. A liver cell is special because its function is to preform as a filter or for the use of metabolism. Stem cells are so special because they have unbelievable potential in the world of genetics because they are not specifically special. According to Suzanne Holland, Karen Lebacqz and Laurie Zoloth in The…

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin Chapter Questions Chapter 1 – Finding Your Inner Fish 1. Explain why the author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks in their search for fossils. Be sure to include the types of rocks and their location during their paleontology work in 2004. The author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 Million Years as it was a period when the transformation took place from fish to fish with limb. The fish without characteristics of…

skin infections and rashes. I also used pieces about cleanliness in eating and drinking from the chapter in my demonstration also. The book had a lot of good facts I used such as don’t let flies on the food you 're going eat because they can carry germs and spread disease and only eat raw meat if it 's cooked completely or else it can carries a lot of dangerous bacteria. I also used the care of the teeth and gums section of the book to inform them on why it’s so important to try to brush your…

The use of tobacco products of any kind can have harmful and potentially life changing effects within in the body. Weather chewed tobacco, snuffed tobacco, or smoking tobacco, all contain chemicals that damage the user’s health. However, there is one drastically significant difference between smoking and smokeless tobacco- smoking tobacco affects others around them while smokeless only effects the user. Is it fair that nonusers face the carelessness of another’s second hand smoke? Is it fair to…

Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to divide for an indefinite period and can give rise to a wide variety of specialized cell types. The term stem cell can be interpreted into many different types of stem cells, each with very different potential to treat disease. There are multiple types of stem cells but the two significant stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells (Panno, “Stem cells are not all equal”). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop…
