Annelise Fullerton STEAM Project
Videos of the Simple Machines in Action (click here) In order to demonstrate and elaborate on the “describe how muscle contraction is induced” learning objective, I created a simple machine to illustrate the process. I expanded on the material by going into much greater depth on the individual steps that …
Diabetic Neuropathy
This paper is about diabetes. Diabetes is a big part of my family, my grandma had it for years and I took care of her. I learned a lot about diabetes during the time I took care of her. Diabetes from then has been a huge interest in my life. …
Healthy Cell vs Cancer Cell ( Pancreatic Cancer)
Threw out our unit and labs learning on cells and their functions we learned the stages of mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase this is known as the cell cycle. We know that in this cycle cells divide cells and make copies of themselves. Cells are supposed to do this …
An Overview of External Fixations for Fracture Treatment
When going over the types of fractures during one of our lectures I wondered how some of them could possibly be treated. At the time the only treatment I knew of were casts and internal fixations, but these didn’t seem to be sufficient for things like comminuted fractures. After doing …
Temporomandibular Disorders
This STEAM Project is about Temporomandibular Disorders, or TMDs. These disorders are often called TMJ, however, this term properly only refers to the associated Temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint is a synovial joint containing an articular disc. This joint connects the mandible and the temporal bone. Movement of this joint …
Steam project
For this project I wanted to model bone growth and the process that happens to repair fractures. Unfortunately the best option that suited my skill was drawing. The first picture is the model of bone growth. I was working with limited supplies so I choose to use the white to …
Bicep Tears and Muscle Contraction – Dean Pacheco
For my Steam project, I decided to research bicep tears. I was interested finding out the different way biceps can be torn. After my dad tore both of his bicep muscles, his right arm bicep while working out, and his left arm while playing volleyball. For the bicep he tore …
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in children and it’s effects on bone health
Pediatric patients who undergo chemotherapy for ALL are at higher risks for fractures and decreased bone mineral density. This is due to the leukemia cells triggering osteoclast mediated bone resorption and this reduces bone growth and density. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. …
