Through the transformation of fertilization and development of a baby, many different changes occur at a cellular level. First, once the sperm and egg meet, a zygote forms. It is 2 cells, with 23 male and 23 female chromosomes. It then through mitosis begins to go through cell division. Once …
I expanded on the objectives focusing around how lactation is induced and maintained as well as the benefits to breastfeeding. When mothers aren’t able to breast feed there can be a few things that are causing this problem, from latching issues to a poor milk supply. A poor milk supply …
My project is on the cardiovascular and circulatory system. I did a poster on how the electrical signals goes through the heart and from where it begins. The cardiac action potential is involved in this process of engaging the start for the electrical signal from the SA node. Arrhythmia is …
My steam project is on the interconnection of the circulatory and lymphatic system. Major lymphatic system components are depicted in green, while the circulatory system is in blue and red for veins and arteries respectively. There are also capillaries that are harder to see that represent locations where lymphatic capillaries …
Objective: Explain how the heart translates an electrical signal to a contraction
I completed a watercolor painting of the heart and the major structures within the heart. I also made a diagram that shows the progression of heart disease from no issues to a complete blockage from plaque in the arteries of the heart. By not having adequate blood flow to the …
I did my project on GERD and a surgical procedure that is used as a common treatment option for it. In my drawing, the first illustration represents what the stomach and esophagus look like before. Here, the esophagus is on its own. In GERD, the lower esophageal sphincter isn’t functioning …
This project is drawing of a heart with various arteries and veins entering and leaving it. The heart has a disease called Endocarditis represented by the green growths in the chambers and valves. The picture also has “vegetation”, chunks of bacteria, flowing in the aorta and pulmonary arteries. These will …
The objective that I covered, from our lymphatic and immune systems unit, is: interpret the response of WBC counts on disease. For this I went pretty specific on a helminth, the hookworm, and what reaction occurs between eosinophils and the invading parasites. The “art’ I chose to display, is a …
