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.
For my STEAM project, I chose to wood-burn and engrave a skull with craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis is when one or more of the cranial sutures close/fuse prematurely. I have also used colored pins and a color key to label the visible sutures and fontanelle.
For my project I focused on two different types of snake venom toxin (alpha and beta neurotoxins) that target the neuromuscular junction. Both of these toxins interfere with the process of muscle contraction, so the objective I’m addressing here is “Describe how a muscle contraction is induced”. Because my art …
Prosopagnosia, also known as ‘face blindness’ refers to the neurological condition in which those affected suffer a severe deficit in recognising familiar people from their face and rely on voices or distinct features such as hairstyle or clothing to recognise people. Alongside the inability to recognise faces, many people also …
Osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN), aseptic necrosis or ischemic bone necrosis is a disease that can result in the death of bone cells. There are subsequent structural changes that lead to the femoral head collapse, secondary hip joint osteoarthritis which finally results in hip dysfunction. AVN is …
For my steam project, I decided to represent a herniated disc in the cervical spine. On the left is a healthy cervical spine and on the right is a cervical spine with a herniated disc between the C5 and C6 vertebrae.
