For my project I decided to create an animation to illustrate the vision impairments caused by open-angle glaucoma. If this does not show the animation, I also posted it in media just in case. https://humanap.community.uaf.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/848/2021/11/Glaucoma.png
My project is to help in understanding how our largest organ functions, the integumentary system. This organ of the body, so much overlooked does so much for us including thermoregulation, protection, and forming a physical barrier against the environment.
My Steam project is on Osteomyelitis which is inflammation of the bone and bone marrow due to infection. Pictured is a clay model that I made to represent a segment of long bone such as the femur that has undergone a fracture. the green clay represents infected tissue, yellow bone …
The objective for my steam project was to compare and contrast the function and structural characteristics of three different types of tissue and to describe the healing properties of each. The media I used was special effects makeup. I chose to add microscopic drawings of each type of tissue to …
This drawing is meant to be an abstract representation of how the central nervous system is affected by alcohol and more specifically how it affects neurotransmission and the continuation of an electrical signal between neurons. The silhouette in the center is meant to show the person affected and the colored …
The objective I will be relating to is: “know the different energy molecules in the cell and their use in anaerobic and aerobic exercise.” In terms of my project directly I will be addressing how supplementing creatine can increase intramuscular creatine content and boost athletic performance. To start we must …
For my STEAM project, I chose to examine the effects of neurophysiology and psychology on signaling between nociceptors and the brain and how that creates pain tolerance. This relates in particular to the objective of “explaining how sensory cells translate stimulus into action potentials”. For my media, I am presenting …
For my steam project I looked at the physiology behind Intraosseous (IO) drug administration during medical emergencies. The objective from class that this project connected to is “Identify the 7 functions of bone”. In order to demonstrate how Intraosseous infusions work, I drew a diagram of an IO insertion in …
My project is based on the objective: “Identify the four most abundant elements in the body”. For my example, I’ve made woven yarn art, the yellow and red beads represent neutrons and protons, the blue sections represent electrons, and the grey rings represent valence shells.
For my steam project, I decided to show the process of mitosis through baking. On sugar cookies, I used icing to create a sketch of each step of mitosis including interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
