This is my cross-section model of the phases of wound healing sculpted out of playdough.

I chose to look into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for my project. In the earlier stages of DMD, a child’s calve muscles may appear larger than average, giving the muscle a healthier look. However, in reality, the fibers are being broken down. They can not keep up with the healing processes …

I did my STEAM project on how pain processing differs in fibromyalgia patients when compared to neurotypical patients. I used the sketchbook app on my computer to design and implement all aspects of the project. As shown above, there aren’t many major differences. The most important difference in pain processing …

The head and neck’s motor and sensory functions are a result of the twelve bilateral cranial nerves. The trigeminal nerve is the 5th cranial nerve and is the largest (Borges & Casselmann 2010, Rice University 2017). The trigeminal nerve receives input from our face, controls muscle responsible for chewing, and …

This project is a representation of the bone structure and development. The fetus represents an infant in the womb, whose bones are primarily composed of cartilage instead of the spongey bone matrix. Once the fetus is born, the bone turns into a true bone structure with the help from the …
