The two main parts of the skeletal system are the axial skeleton with 80 bones and the appendicular skeleton with 126 bones. The primary purpose of the skeletal system is to provide the body with support, protection, movement, storage for minerals and lipids, and to produce red blood cells. The axial skeleton includes the skull, thoracic cage and vertebral column. The…
To be ethical, in terms of biological research and using new biological technologies, means that science should not offend any groups of people by doing something that angers them. To be ethical means to try and satisfy as many groups as possible, and to try and not anger as many groups as possible.

The heart is the organ that pumps blood through the body. Together with the circulatory system it makes up the cardiovascular system (Anatomy of the Heart, 2015). The heart is oddly shaped, almost oval at the bottom but with a series of veins and arteries at the top and sides. It definitely is not “heart” shaped. It is made up of four chambers consisting of two atria (upper) and two ventricles (lower). These chambers are separated into right and left side by the septum, which is a wall of muscle…

In a human body, there are four core classifications of tissues, which are epithelial tissue (plural form epithelium), connective tissue, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue.

In the beginning, the simplest structural elements or atoms such as calcium (Ca +2) or sodium (Na +1) involve in the basic unit of living matter. These matters combine to form other matters like the fusion…
