Human body

quality of life as well as preserving their physical and mental well-being. By becoming an osteopathic doctor, I will be given the proper medical education that will ensure my patients are evaluated and treated the way they should be, which is as a human being and not as a list of symptoms or…

Vanessa Ruiz: The spellbinding art of human anatomy Ruiz explains the history of anatomical drawings, their main and vital medical purpose, as well as the artistic quality that has been seen time and time again. This talk explained the idea that the drawings are not just for scientific purposes, but also art because of the emotions they demand from people; curiosity, joy, disgust. She says that “fear of anatomy and guts is a learned reaction”. This is proven by a particularly interesting artist…

Passionately Curious Curiosity is the lust of the mind. Have you ever felt that adrenaline rush through your body increasing the mind’s interest of a topic you were freshly introduced to? I feel that passion over the topic of the human body and the medical world and I become determined to learn more. I am interested in the foreign, universal language of medical terminology and of the hands-on skills of assisting a doctor. I strongly feel the desire to gain the knowledge and skills to become…

The enigma of the human body always intrigued me. It was first brought to my attention when I learned that my father was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. In part, the strong genetic disposition in my family history sparked my interest in medicine. Without modern medicine, he might have not lived for long. What motivated me even further is the complex mechanisms of the human body, which would prove to be a continual topic of study. In turn, I would like to become part of this pivotal system…

look down on and discriminate against. Nacirema also believe that this will help younger generation have moral principles, behaviors, values and ethics. In my opinion, Nacirema concern on the human body, appearance, health is a mental condition and the treatments (rituals) would lead to further diseases. The body is unappealing is a belief that the Nacirema believe. Practicing horrific rituals and ceremonies, in my opinion is not the solutions. Even though Nacirema is very devoted and respect…

Scott et al. compared those who suffer from spinal cord injury (SCI) and the body under microgravity. Their findings show that SCI patients and astronauts, in long term conditions, have similar physiological outcomes and those who have SCI can be good examples to study the effects of spaceflight on the human body. The importance of comparing and contrasting these two populations is to be able to see if scientists can test individuals of one group to come up with results and conclusions of how to…

hand, man is a body. On the other hand, man has a body. That is, man experiences himself as an entity that is not identical with his body, but that, on the contrary, has a body at its disposal' (Berger and Luckmann). With reference to TWO works studied on this course, discuss the body as the source of identity, and also as a source of confusion about identity. Kafka's 'Metamorphosis' and Gogol's 'The Nose' are both novellas that centre on a bodily catastrophe. The protagonists' bodies undergo a…

As technology in the space sciences advances, the distances humans can travel through space also increases. Long-term space missions can cause complications to astronauts’ health (see Figure 1), the severity of which are not yet well understood. This paper focuses on three main health complications experienced by crew members during long-term space travel: muscle atrophy; loss of bone mass; and immune system changes. This paper also explores current research into preventative measures and…

dosage of 0.15 mg/kg is used [3]. This would make the average usage of a patient in a day 1.325 mg/kg and 483.625 mg/kg in a year. Since there are 106098 patients who use this drug yearly, their usage would be 51,311,645 mg/kg. If the average weight of humans were to be taken as 75 kg, then 3,848,373 kg/year for all…

important components making up parts of the organ systems! All working as a unit allowing us to be the Homo sapiens we are today.These findings would not have been possible without the further enhancement of medicine. Although the studies of the human body have been interesting for me, my interest in medicine didn't start from an academic point of view rather from a personal experience which happened to me as a young teenager, breaking my right arm and also getting poor treatment which resulted…
