Human body

cadavers and students can come around to see how everything that we have observed and discussed fits and is connected in the human body (Figure 6). It is of critical importance to ensure that the students can not identify the cadavers. The face remains permanently covered and not revealed, and any identifiers of the donors are removed. All toe tags are taped, which must remain on the body at all times as per our agreement with Wright State University’s Anatomical Gift Program. We also cover any…

to examine the abandonment of the rigid and unnatural Egyptian pose, into the more realistic sculpture that portrays how a human body truly stands. Greek sculptors were particularly concerned with proportion, poise, and idealised perfection of the human body. As Greek sculptors practiced throughout the years, they were able to more accurately depict the parts of the human body in proportions related to one another, creating the beautiful Greek sculptors that we see today. Starting with the…

Articulations within the human skeleton were classified into joints and its primary actions. Muscles that contributed to the joint action, were broken down to the origin and insertion of the skeletal musculature in the human body. Application of terminology was explored as it applies to the principles and concepts of daily exercise. Detailed analysis of sports skill was performed…

my interest towards modern medicine and how the human body reacts to certain chemicals. The first time I was sick, my parents had given me a colored liquid. I started to get curious as to why they were giving it to me and how something that looked like colored water would make me feel better. Surprisingly though, I had felt better in a matter of a few short days. This is when my curiosity and interest of medicine had blossomed. The way the human body reacts to a certain type of chemical is…

nature is uncontrollable and sustains mankind. Nature is the only thing humans cannot control directly. It behaves in its own way, and naturally does what God created it to do. The sublime…

"Body Rituals among the Nacirema" was a well written article. Horace Miner presented a strong argument to back up the claim of magic and the human body being a major factor in the Nacirema culture rituals. The opinions and biases were kept to a minumum, and rather let the argument speak for itself. The article did not come of as harsh nor judgmental, but some choice words made the culture sound more exotic in some situations than need be. The format was also logically laid out and easy for the…

exactly how far back does dissection go? Well in about the third century, BCE, there were many physicians performing dissections. Two of the most famous are those by the names of Herophilus, of Chalcedon, and Erasistratus, of Chios. These two performed human dissections in a part of Egypt called, Alexandria. However, this practice was…

Dear Global Teacher Prize Academy Committee, I am very pleased to recommend Dr. Katherine Heavers for the Global Teacher Prize. I was a 12th grade student in her class from 2014 to 2015. The course was called Human Anatomy and Physiology, but that name does not do everything she taught me justice. In her classes, she sets aside five to ten minutes for students in one of the most competitive N.J. schools to relax with yoga techniques. Reinvigorated, students listen to a quote from Dr. Heavers and…

Proposal for Scottish about rejuvenation programme for Bowling Basin I would like to propose a site-specific performance piece as part of the Bowling Basin rejuvenation programme. The performance would aim to attract the local community, passers by as well as anyone interested in the history of the harbour. The Bowling Harbour was first opened in 1851. It was a pioneer within the UK shipbuilding industry and provided the country with a large quantity of quality ships, before and during the war…

medical assistant student. I was going to class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I went to class for six weeks, I learned a lot. In those six weeks I had three classes, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, Medical Terminology for Health Care, and Strategies for the Technical Professional. In anatomy and Physiology I we learned the human body using a systems approach, focusing on the integumentary system, bones and skeleton tissues, joints, and muscles, the nervous system, special senses and the…
