Sickle Cell Anemia Anatomy and Physiology 9/1/2014 Victoria Nimtz Definitions and History: Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetically passed disease. Instead of having normal disc – like red blood cells, a person would end up producing semicircular (sickle) shaped blood cells. This turns into a huge problem because the semicircular shaped blood cells block the blood flow within the blood vessels, which happen to carry inside them a protein known as hemoglobin, which ends up carrying oxygen from…

Mononucleosis is a type of infectious disease that is also known by a more popular name, the “kissing disease”. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus, also known as EBV. EBV is present in over 95% of adult, and it is found all over the world. Generally, the virus is not severe or very harmful. Mono also is not very contagious compared to other diseases. The disease can easily be treated and infects an organism for about three to six weeks. There are many different ways that mono can…

Sickle Cell Anemia is a trait or disorder that is characterized by abnormal hemoglobin which causes red blood cells to become crescentic or sickle shaped, erythrocytes and by speeding up hemolysis, due to substitution of a single amino acid. Low oxygen tension causes polymerization of the abnormal beta chains which changes the shape of the red blood cells to the sickle form. Sickle cells are fragile and they break apart easily they die leaving you with a poor amount of red blood cells. The red…

will end its life in order to relieve pain. Scissors were used to the fillet from the cloaca until right below the pectoral fin, after the fillet was removed the internal anatomy of the fish was exposed. The first visible organ to be removed was the spleen which is dark red and made it easier to remove the male gonads. The first gonad was removed by cutting cleanly at both ends then the tissue at the top was moved in order to access the second gonad. The digestive tract which consists mainly of…

Furthermore, in the year 1829, Dr. Louis, French physician, also separated it from other fevers, and associated the fever with the pathologic lesion in the intestines, lymph nodes and spleen. In 1884, Gaffkey, German biologist, isolated the microorganism, which causes the disease, Selmonella typhi, from the spleen of an infected person. Then this microorganism was cultivated from the stool, urine, rose spots ,and gall bladder by other German biologists…

the blockage of blood flow through the blood vessels. This blockage deprives the tissues and blood of oxygen which can lead to many difficulties and problems. SCD becomes life-threatening when the damaged red blood cells begin to breakdown, when the spleen does not work properly or at all, or when it is unable to prevent infections from coming in. Approximately 100,000 Americans have SCD. Most with SCD are of African ancestry. About 1 in 13 African American…

The digestive system consists of the oral cavity, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas,intestines, appendix and the rectum. All these organs interlink in order to carry out an environment of homeostasis. Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium inside the body as stated in the Journal of Nursing Standards (Hendry C 2012 page (46-50)).A further consideration is that of legal and ethical concerns within practice. The first part of the digestive system is the oral cavity and…

The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic capillaries and vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, the thymus, the tonsils, and lymph itself. Some of the fluid that is deposited into the tissues from the blood is taken up by lymphatic capillaries where it becomes lymph. Lymphatic capillaries and vessels have valves that prevent back flow, ensuring one-way flow of lymphatic fluids. Lymphatic capillaries eventually converge to form lymphatic vessels, which are similar in comparison to veins. Lymphatic…

Neema-Elie Joseph Ms.Kilburn English 4 29 March 2016 Baudelaire was born in Paris to financially secure parents. Baudelaire grew very close to his mother. When Madame Baudelaire married Jacques Aupick in 1928, Baudelaire became deeply resentful. Initially he had dropped out of school, but as he grew older he increasingly neglected his studies in favor of a rebellious lifestyle. In 1841 the Aupicks sent him on a trip to India in hopes that his experiences abroad would reform him. During his…

the leg are spleen, kidney and liver. The latter meridians of the arm are large intestine, small intestine and triple Burner, while Yang meridians of the leg includes stomach, bladder and gall bladder. As Yang Qi and Yin Qi flows along the Yang meridians and Yin meridians respectively in different directions, and as Qi passes through various tissues and organs, it facilitates their normal functioning. For example, ascending clear Qi in found in the spleen. This is essential for spleen to direct…
