Today advances in modern medicine have brought us many different technologies that can not only help extend the life expectancy of patients but also allow them to live a relatively normal life with a disease that a few decades prior would have been a death sentence. This ranges from new …
My STEAM project involves creating a model that represents a healthy testicle and one affected by cancer. Understanding the structure and function of the male reproductive organ and recognizing the differences between healthy testicles and testicular cancer is essential for maintaining reproductive health and overall well-being. What makes this art unique …

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 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 …
For my STEAM project I’ll be addressing the objective #46 analyzing the effects of disease on the function and structure of the respiratory system for emphysema. For this I’ll explain the origin, effects, how it disturbs the general function and regulation of our respiratory system. Emphysema, is a debilitating lung …
My STEAM Project is a board game that aims to teach the players the order of organ function and path of food during digestion through game play cards and information written on the board. The board itself has different sections (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus) which have …
For my STEAM presentation, I will be focusing the course objectives of the cardiovascular and circulatory system and expand on those topics into issues that can occur within the heart.
