The adaptive immune response is a specific defense mechanism of the immune system; it recognizes and targets specific antigens. There are two main branches of the adaptive immune system: humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity and cellular (cell-mediated) immunity. For this project, I will be focusing on the humoral immune response. The first …

My STEAM piece for Human Anatomy and Physiology I demonstrates and explains the anatomy and physiology of the human nose, focusing specifically on its tissues. I am going to note and explain the different types of tissue present in the human nose and what their functions are. I created a …

Celiac disease is a hereditary autoimmune disease in which the consumption of gluten damages the small intestines, which can lead to malnutrition. When gluten enters the body, the immune system responds by attacking the small intestines. When the small intestines are attacked, the villi are damaged, which inhibits their ability …

For my STEAM project I chose to mold a model of the knee joint out of clay. This knee joint made of clay shows the structure of a knee, which is the largest joint in the body and functions to help move and stabilize the body. The blue represents the …

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes antibodies to bind to acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction and impair communication between the nerves and muscles, causing weakness in skeletal muscles. Myasthenia Gravis is often visible in the faces of affected individuals, as the eyes and mouth tend to droop …

As humans, the ability to adapt to our environment is what has allowed us to exist from the beginning of time to present day. One way we have been able to survive all these years is by regulating our core temperature to ensure that we do not fry ourselves from …

This is depiction of the uterus of a woman going through her second pregnancy. She is Rh negative and previously gave birth to a Rh positive baby but did not receive RhoGAM to stop the build up of Rh antibodies in her blood. Subsequently, she became pregnant again with a …

The human body has three different types of muscle tissues, skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. When muscles are overworked, one can suffer from muscle strains. To illustrate the different muscle tissues as well as muscle strains, I used photographs of Arnold Schwarzenegger as an example and created a collage!
