Learn About Our Knee Joints
My STEAM project will focus on describing the knee structure. I drew this anatomical diagram of the knee joint so that I have a deeper understanding and memory of it. We consider the knee joint is a modified hinged joint because it has the ability to rotate in addition to …
Hormone of the Bone – Osteocalcin
My piece is a comic showing a pink character introducing his friend Billy to the bone-derived hormone osteocalcin. The comic is meant to be a taste into what more can be learned about this hormone and hopefully leaves the reader wanting to find more research. The protagonist has a great …
Mining into the Renal System
The renal system works as a gold mine in our body; it filters out the needed substances and disposes the waste. It is vital for the fabrication of many hormones, regulating fluids, and removing waste. Mining allows for the collection of minerals and the removal of waste. Both mining and the renal system contain operations that are comparable. (My essay makes the words in parentheses make more sense, they don’t relate directly to the kidneys. I also have other photos but I couldn’t upload them)
ORIF- Open Reduction Internal Fixation
In my project I discuss how in severe bone fractures an ORIF is needed. An ORIF is essential for optimal bone repair to occur. It is a surgical process in which an orthopedic surgeon places hardware such as screws, rods, wires, plates and other items into the bone to allow …

TRUAMATIC BRAIN INJURY
My project for STEAM has to do with traumatic brain injuries. I chose to create a blog post adding my artwork to illustrate how injuries to the head can affect an individual. This blog post is an overview of the different types of damages an individual may encounter, whether mild, …
The Humoral Immune Response
The adaptive immune response is a specific defense mechanism of the immune system; it recognizes and targets specific antigens. There are two main branches of the adaptive immune system: humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity and cellular (cell-mediated) immunity. For this project, I will be focusing on the humoral immune response. The first …
