Endometriosis
Olivia Tucker University of Fairbanks, Alaska Human Anatomy & Physiology Professor Larson April 18, 2024 The course objective I would like to cover in this paper are: Endometriosis About 5 million women in America suffer from endometriosis. The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There is no known way to prevent …
White Blood Cell Impacts with Leukemia
For my steam project I chose to look at the white blood cells in out body and how they function. More specifically I looked at the lymphocytes, and how they were affected in a healthy individual vs an individual that has leukemia.
Neuroendocrine Cells and their effect on Endocrine Neural Interactions
I focused on explaining “how the endocrine system and nervous interact with each other”. I did this by exploring neuroendocrine tumors. Neuroendocrine tumors or NETS is a classification of rare tumors called neuroendocrine neoplasms—the heterogeneous tumor affects neuroendocrine cells meaning endocrine cells connected to the nervous system (Oronsky, Ma, Morgensztern, & Carter, 2017). Neuroendocrine cells are similar to nerve cells and hormone-producing cells in traits (Neuroendocrine tumors, 2023). The neuroendocrine system is responsible for transporting information, regulating metabolic functions, and controlling the interaction between the body’s organs (NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia, 2022). Neuroendocrine cells make hormones like endocrine cells, receive signals like nerve cells, and release hormones (NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia, 2022).
Hemoglobin and its Binding Affinity
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and transports it throughout the body. Why does it bind to oxygen though? Are there other molecules that it may bind to instead? Carbon monoxide is a chemical commonly produced by incomplete combustion and exists in small …
Where Does the Acid Flow? Understanding GERD’s Impact on the Digestive System
I will be researching what GERD is and it effects on the body. This project aims to illustrate and describe GERD in relation to the digestive system. The course objective my STEAM project will relate to is the basic layers and functions of digestive organs. The digestive system is a …
A Comic Strip on Macrophages!
How do Macrophages Work Macrophages are a cell in your immune system which work to protect the body. This covers the objective “ Describe the various WBC and their function” from unit 10. Macrophages are derived from monocytes, meaning that the monocytes mature into macrophages only when leaving the circulation …
The Damaging Effects of COVID-19 Pneumonia on the Lungs
Introduction: STEAM Model Description My STEAM project explores the effects COVID-19 pneumonia has on the respiratory system. It explores the infection process, pneumonia development, and how it affects the respiratory system. To develop my project, I utilized clay sculpting to formulate the base, and majority, of my piece. Then, I …
