Clostridium tetani is a rod shaped microorganism’s bacteria in charge of the frequently lethal infection tetanus he word tetanus originates from the Greek word tetanus, which anticipates the meaning to stretch. Tetanus is described by unbending nature and sudden contractions of skeletal muscle and infection within the integumentary system, skin (Tortora, et al., 2016). Bacterial cells, similar to plant cells, are surrounded by a cell wall. However, bacterial cell walls are comprised of…
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a self-limited multisystemic disease of unknown etiology that typically causes fever and acute inflammation in young children. It is also referred to as "mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome," because of its involvement of the mucous membranes, skin, and lymph nodes. It has 3 stages that lasts about 12 days which are comprised of the acute, subacute, and convalescent phases. This syndrome may result in the complication of damage to the coronary arteries, due to inflammatory…
Bacteria Basics The Cambridge Online Dictionary characterizes bacteria as “very small organisms that are found everywhere and are the cause of many diseases” (Cambridge University). Bacteria is all around no matter where someone were to go. Bacteria can be very dangerous. People are exposed to bacteria from the time they are born to the day they die. Much of society think of public restrooms as bacterial feeding grounds, but what about high schools? Do high schools have dangerous sorts of…
In 1888, Otto von Bismarck remarked that “the next great European war will probably come out of some damn foolish thing in the Balkans.” (Massie, p. 82) At the time, he was referring to the aftermath of the Serbo-Bulgarian war, which managed, in a series of resonating blows, to shatter the Ottoman Empire’s tenuous grasp on the Balkans and splinter the League of Three Empires. Over the next forty years, the ever-fluid situation in the Balkans ebbed and flowed, but never strayed far from a point…

Achievement Standard 91604, BIO AS 3.4 • Purpose (why we need glucose and why levels need to be stable) Homeostasis by definition is the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment. Blood glucose regulation is a type of homeostasis that helps maintain the level of blood sugar in the body and therefore gives energy to cells, making the body able to function properly. It…
Recombinant DNA is genetically engineered DNA that is formed by splicing fragments of DNA. Organismal cloning is the artificial creation of a new organism that is genetically identical to its counterpart. DNA cloning is a recombinant DNA technique where cDNAs and fragments of genomic DNA are inserted into a cloning vector and maintained during growth of the host cells. Vector is an agent that transfers genetic material into a cell or organism. Restriction enzymes are bacterial enzymes that find…

The nervous system makes it possible for animals to know and react to the environment around them. A change or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue is a stimulus. There can either be an internal or an external stimulus. Internal stimulus being something like hunger or pain, while external is more along the lines of a sound or an odor. The nervous system interprets stimuli and orders other organ systems to respond. The nervous system does so through using sensory…
