This STEAM project is covering the four cells that comprise bone tissue. My project is on the disease Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). FOP is a disease that affects the ligaments, tendons, and skeletal muscles and causes heterotopic bone formation. This occurs when bone tissue begins to form in soft tissues, …
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) – The topic I chose to research was carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. This topic relates to the class objective from unit 4: “Describe the structure and function of peripheral …
The learning objective I’m discussing and expanding on is how neurons carry an electrical charge. How It Works Neurons work like one way roads, there’s a path to send messages to the brain and another to send messages to the body. Afferent pathways travel toward the brain, and efferent travel …
Throughout the semester we learned about the mechanics of a muscle contraction and their functions. Dystonia is a movement disorder that is characterized as slow, often repetitive involuntary movements and posture, (Fehlings, 2024).

When humans grow old we change and do things like develop wrinkles, gray hairs, and for some maybe even thinning of the hair. While our outer appearance changes, our inner systems begin to …
Bioabsorbable Screws Bioabsorbable implants are made of materials that are first reabsorbed and then replaced by the body with natural material. This topic relates to an objective from Unit 4: Know the stages of bone development and repair. These implants are being used more due to their benefits over certain …
