Tuberculosis is widespread. Alaska is the 8th least populated state (only Vermont and Wyoming have less people), yet we have a tuberculosis incidence rate of 13.0 per capita. So how did it get this bad in the first place, and what do we even do about a disease that can …
My STEAM Project is on coronary artery disease. The objective covered is to explain the structure and function of the heart and to know the path of blood through the heart and circulatory system. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a heart condition where the heart does not get enough oxygen-rich …
cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease caused by a mutation of the CFTR gene, the gene responsible for regulating the amount of chloride salt transmembrane channels in cells that produce mucus or sweat. The overproduction of mucus caused by cystic fibrosis has affects in the respiratory as well as digestive …

For my steam project I chose to look at the white blood cells in out body and how they function. More specifically I looked at the lymphocytes, and how they were affected in a healthy individual vs an individual that has leukemia.
I focused on explaining “how the endocrine system and nervous interact with each other”. I did this by exploring neuroendocrine tumors. Neuroendocrine tumors or NETS is a classification of rare tumors called neuroendocrine neoplasms—the heterogeneous tumor affects neuroendocrine cells meaning endocrine cells connected to the nervous system (Oronsky, Ma, Morgensztern, & Carter, 2017). Neuroendocrine cells are similar to nerve cells and hormone-producing cells in traits (Neuroendocrine tumors, 2023). The neuroendocrine system is responsible for transporting information, regulating metabolic functions, and controlling the interaction between the body’s organs (NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia, 2022). Neuroendocrine cells make hormones like endocrine cells, receive signals like nerve cells, and release hormones (NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia, 2022).
