Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Evolution, three words that seem to be thrown around a good bit, but which of them is “right”? Well, if you define “right” as being the most factual, then Evolution is, by far, the most :right” of these ideas. There is a mountain of evidence for Evolutionary Theory, such as genetic similarities between different species, following change over time in the fossil record, and even seeing Evolution in action. It is because of this evidence that many individuals…

collateral ligament. Rosenhek states that once diagnosed with a Tommy John injury, a doctor performs surgery (3). Around the area of the elbow, the patient's arm is opened. Holes are inserted to house a new tendon. This process usually occurs in the humerus bone or the ulna bone in the elbow. The surgeon collects a new tendon from the body. Usually after harvesting the…

There exists a continuous cycle of manipulation and domination within the relationship between the people and their representative governments, as one continuously changes the other to suit their needs and desires. Composers also contribute to the cycle of suppression through manipulation of language and linguistic devices to exemplify their views. Such ideas are closely explored in WH Auden’s poems, “In Memory of WB Yeats’ (1939) and ‘September 1st 1939’ (1939), as well as the short, animated…

Medical Story: Reverse Shoulder Replacement “This surgery gave me my life back,” said Elizabeth McMearty, a successful and recovered patient who received a reverse shoulder replacement on February 24, 2014. Before receiving this intense surgery, Elizabeth was unable to drive a car, brush her own hair, feed herself, dress herself, or lift her arm past 90 degrees. Elizabeth now sees herself to have a more purposeful life, without pain in her shoulder. In 2005, Elizabeth was diagnosed with…

Andreas Vesalius discovered modern day human anatomy that we use today to help us with surgeries, medical school, etc.. Vesalius discoveries have shaped our medical school to be the way it is today. His scientific reasoning has had an immense impact on the way we do things today. In this paper I will be discussing Andreas’ background/personal information, his college adventures, his inspirations, what was known before his discoveries, and other scientists alive at his time. Andreas Vesalius…

Med, 2016). Bone tissue is a rigid connective tissue, internally supports body structures, very active tissue, and heals faster than cartilage. It can be found: on the cranium, vertebral column, clavicles, acromium (process of the shoulder), the humerus, the radius, ulna, and forearm (SIU Med,…

In 2003, the remains of a small skeleton were found in a cave called Liang Bua on Flores, a small island in Eastern Indonesia. The individual was nicknamed LB-1 and originally scientists thought it was a child due to the size. However, when they took a closer look at the skull and teeth they realized it was the skull of an adult. Many scientists think this is a new species that they named homo floresiensis, but others argue that it is just a modern human with a mutation. Since 2003, bones and…

Biogeography It shows how the past and present geographical distribution of organisms played a role in their evolution.Also, how species are distributed in accordance to the genetic relationships they share with other organisms. Marsupials and Placental Mammals Marsupials animals are almost exclusively found in Australia, while Placental mammals are very rare there. There are fossils of marsupials in North America, and South America. 30 million years ago South America and Australia…

Long bones are also as the Femur, Humerus, and the Tibia. The smallest bones in our body called Metacarpals, Metatarsals, and Phalanges. Short bones are providing a function of providing support and stability with little movement, the wrist and foot bones are examples of short bones. They…

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, often from little or no apparent cause. It is also known as brittle bone disease. OI can also cause many other problems such as weak muscles, brittle teeth, and hearing loss. About 20,000 to 50,000 people in the United States have OI. In this paper, I will cover the topics of etiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, treatment, and prevention (National Institute of Health). Etiology Osteogenesis…
