My project covers the objective, “Explain how bone development is hormonally regulated.” I wanted to concentrate this project specifically on osteoporosis and in part how rural Alaska residents may be affected. The medium used was clay and the art made was of a healthy bone and a bone affected by …
Payton Moore Hormones in the body play an important role in bone growth and development. Many hormones play a role in this but a particularly important one is vitamin D. Vitamin D plays a role in skeletal health because it regulates normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus (Chanchlani 2020). …
https://humanap.community.uaf.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/848/2024/11/image1-4-scaled.jpeg I chose Ketamine as the topic for my project because this particular drug has grown fairly prominent and notorious in the last decade and it’s a medication I can give patients at my job when it’s needed. Fortuitously, it coincided with our previous chapter as most of its effects …
The topic of my project is how skeletal growth is hormonally regulated. A large part of what allows hormones to be regulated properly is primary cilia. Primary cilia are a type of cilia, organelles which project from the apical surface of cells and are largely responsible for transmitting signals. They …
Annalee Coryell Astronauts have a very unique experience when they are in space, their bodies experience something very unique as well. The lack of gravitational force in space takes a toll on the bodies of astronauts. Because of the usual lack of gravitational force on our bodies that we …
Course objective: Identify the various components and key structures of the nervous system. My Research The frontal lobe provides many cognitive functions for the brain (1). One of those functions is attention, which can be divided into three categories: sustained, divided, and focused (1). Sustained attention is the ability to …
Bones provide structure, protection, and mobility for the body. However, as we age, the balance between bone formation and breakdown shifts, leading to conditions like osteoporosis (the silent disease). This condition weakens bones over time, increasing the risk of fractures. My poster board, illustrates how osteoporosis progresses through four stages, …
This is a sketch of a woman who suffers from Atopic Dermatitis. This is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the integumentary system, more specifically the skin.
An osteophyte is also known as a bone spur that grows on the joints of our lower spine because of degenerative changes. Ostephytes have three types of osteophytes: traction spur, inflammatory spur and the original osteophyte or osteochondrophyte. Osteophyte is diagnosed with a bone density test that will measure the …
