My essay goes more in depth of how our blood antigens and antibodies interact, as my picture showcases an experiment to visualize the baseline of ABO compatibility as a simple and easy equation. As blood type O is clear water, it acts as an universal donor and successfully blends in …
Using air dry clay and acrylic paint I created a physical model of the female reproductive system as my project. I wanted to build a visual aid that could not only help me, but everyone else, better understand how the structure of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus directly relate …
For my project, I decided to bake heart-shaped cookies of electrocardiogram readings. An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) graphically records the electrical signal of the heart to examine different heart conditions. This is how abnormal heart rhythm can be detected. It is the composite of all action potentials at a given …
https://studio.youtube.com/video/MfbcUr05bbE/ This is the link to my STEAM Project video, really briefly explaining the effects of lactose intolerance! (My essay is much more detailed on why these side effects actually happen, etc.) It’s so amazing to me how our bodies are made to heal themselves, even though diseases do come. …
The cardiovascular system and respiratory system are very closely connected and rely on each other heavily. Understanding how they are connected is one of the objectives for this course. I chose to dig deeper into this relationship through my steam project by comparing COPD and CHF. The art portion of …
Manipulation of the endocrine system through the abuse of Anabolic Steroids creates greater health risks than just an interruption of the hypothalamus-pituitary- gonadal axis. Prolonged abuse places the user at risk of sever liver distress. Some of this distress is the result of interruptions in metabolic functions of the liver …
Emphysema is a respiratory condition and type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that describes the rupture of alveoli walls and the resulting enlargement of these air sacs. The rupturing of the alveoli and enlargement of the air sacs in the lungs leads to much less surface area in the …
I have chosen to make an edible representation of the act of respiration with a cake. The orange skittles are alveoli, with blue sprinkles flowing in one direction to show the intake of oxygen headed towards the alveoli, and the green sprinkles represent carbon dioxide headed out of the alveoli …
This is a working model of the diaphragm and lungs. You can see that when the diaphragm is distended, the lungs inflate, and when the diaphragm is relaxed, the lungs deflate. Also seen is the trachea and the bronchi where they split into the right and left lungs.
I chose to carve a representation of ARDS. I inverted the “bronchial tree” to play upon the name. The trunk has tracheal rings like trees have rings. I am a sucker for word play:) I tried to illustrate the stiffness of the lung through the squared off shape of the …
