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 …
The objective I covered for my steam project is to “identify the key components and various structures of the nervous system.” I will be focusing mostly on the brain and the structure and function of neurons specifically. To cover this objective I decided to use multiple sclerosis and how it …
I painted three different paintings to highlight the wide variety of tissues that are involved in the injury which is called shin splints.
