  1. How the Human Papilloma Virus Can Affect Squamous Epithelial Cells reply
    This project examines the learning objective “Describe in depth each type of epithelial and connective tissue. Be able to describe their function and location” However, she specifically looked at epithelial tissue, its function, and its location. She then goes a step further in explaining how the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can affect squamous epithelial cells and how certain strains of HPV can lead to a higher risk of cervical cancer. Marie displays this concept using an image, the center of this image has a vagina and each corner displays different levels of cell growth in the cervix. Normal cell growth, mild dysplasia, moderate/severe dysplasia, and cervical cancer. This allows viewers to see the virus’s effect on cell production and also allows them to see what normal and healthy cell production looks like. The human papillomavirus drastically speeds up the process of cell multiplication. The virus enters human cells through epithelial injuries like micro-abrasions and then spreads throughout the cells, potentially causing massive damage to the tissue.
