Understanding the anatomical map of structures such as the phrenic nerve is vital for medical treatments. G.S. Muller Botha mapped the phrenic nerve and described her findings in The Anatomy of the Phrenic Nerve Termination and the Motor Innervation of the Diaphragm. Sleep apnea is a common disorder caused by under stimulation of the diaphragm from the phrenic nerve, O. Oldenburg and team described alternative treatments for the apnea in Effects of unilateral phrenic nerve stimulation on tidal…

I pick the integumentary system. The organs with this system are skin, hair, nails, and oil glands. The skin is the body’s outer covering and forms a barrier to protect the body from chemicals, disease, and physical change. Hair and nails protect it from infections. The oil glands produce sweat and moisturize the skin. This elps with dehydration and regulate body temperature, and throws away waste. A few possible ailments are *acne* where the skin on the body become clogged and look like…

Name: Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease AKA: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) – Common Organ: Cysts form in the proximal convoluted tubules, Bowman’s capsule and collecting ducts of the kidneys. With time, the cysts enlarge. Patients can also present with cysts in the liver, pancreas, lungs, spleen, ovaries, seminal vesicles, testes, epididymis, thyroid, uterus, and bladder. Labs: Proteinuria (50% of patients), azotemia, hematuria, anemia Signs and Symptoms: Abdominal and…

The heart is one of the major organs in the body that is essential. The heart is considered a pump that helps the blood flow, continuously, throughout the body. The heart is located under the rib cage, between the lungs, and more on the left side of the breastbone. It has two major coronary arteries, electrical impulses, four chambers, and four valves to help the blood flow one way. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. When the right atrium…

Epidermis is the tough outermost layer of the skin, and is made up of the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. It is mainly comprised of the protein keratin, squamous epithelial cells and melanin. The epidermis acts as a waterproof barrier and the melanin absorbs ultra violet light to prevent burns, inflammation, and swelling of the skin. Dermis is the lower layer of the skin that contains collagen, nerve fibers, lymph vessels, and blood…

requires a license to use animals in medical or cosmetic trials. The in-vitro chips are more applicable to human research because they are made of human cells. They can test a variety of body parts; lungs, liver, kidney, heart, brain and many other organs and tissues. MatTek’s Epiderm is one of the many cell-based tests to test skin allergies. Harvard West Institute states, “MatTek’s EpiDerm Tissue Model—a 3-dimensional, human cell-derived skin model, replaces the use of guinea pigs or mice, who…

that the male reproductive system includes mostly external organs, produces testosterone, and produce sperm during puberty, while the female reproductive system includes mostly internal organs, produces progesterone and estrogen, and produces a set number of eggs in the womb during embryonic development. The reproductive systems, however, share one common similarity in which both systems have gonads that produce gametes and other sex organs. The first difference between the male and female…

she is addressing is how morbid it is for dead people and their bodies to be harvested for it organs. The way she starts the essay is by using a narrative approach, and the reason there is the narrative approach is for more effect of emotion to the readers. Her thesis statement that grabbed my attention the most was “Compared with such micro scare cures, transplants- which consist of salvaging entire organs from a heart- beating cadaver and sewing them into a different body- seem crudely…

Tried and true skin care products that make a difference Ever since I was twelve years old and I got my first pimple, I have been searching high and low for successful skin care products that won’t break my bank account. After twenty-one years of existence, I have learned that no such this is possible. However, I have tried more skin care products than I can name, most of them ending up in the garbage can. For those few products that do work, I will continue to use over and over until the day I…

Cadaver Observation and Interaction The cadaver interaction is the last part of the HAPI lab. The cadavers are previously covered up until we reach this stage of the program to prevent undue distraction. We reveal the 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…
