Organ donations from one donor can save up to eight lives, and also change the lives of more than fifty people (“Facts About Organ Donation”). What is simply baffling about this statistic is the fact that most people usually don’t consider that something like organ donation could be that impactful. However, in Mary Roach’s Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, she explores the relevance of this process, as well as many other topics associated with the scientific study of cadavers. The purpose that Roach is trying to convey in this novel is to persuade the audience to think about the impact cadavers have had in history, as well as in the world today, and to consider the options she provides as to what can be done with the human body after

In Salvage the Bones, Jesmyn Ward parallels the mythological story of Medea in order to highlight her representation of women. The use of Medea, who is embodied in various aspects within the three main female characters, allows Ward’s work to obtain a sense of universality to her narrative. Also with this incorporation, Ward is able to change the dominant perspective of “blackness” that has plagued southern literature written by African-American authors. Salvage the Bones occurs in Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, following Esch,who has just found out she is pregnant, and her poor family just days before the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina. Medea, an anti-hero, who succumbs to her own decisions and the demons of love represents a dynamic femininity, rather than the stereotypical aspect of which is what being a female is. Ward is able to show that women are not only powerful but can also be strong, independent yet vulnerable and ferocious. Through Esch, China and Hurricane Katrina with the corresponding Greek mythology, Ward shows her depiction of a women by addressing common stereotypes and rejecting them.

civilization raised or how the people lived? How they regulated their lands? Or what they used to eat? Etc. One of the aspects that many people are curious about is the old-world medicine, how ancient people dealt with illnesses and how they treated their patients? As for the American civilization, the most recorded advanced medicine was in the Aztec’s empire. The Aztec’s Empire was the most powerful Mesoamerican kingdom of old ages. In fact, their culture was full of creativity with a combination of methodology and religious tradition. They arrived in the Valley of Mexico in 1325C.E, and their name means Aztlan people, where they were originally from. In fact,

STEM CELL RESEARCH is a very controversial topic in today’s time. Not only has it sparked a hundreds of debates it also has been the center of much criticism for its use of human cells. For those of you who don’t know stem cells are unspecialized cells found in living things and are able to grow and rebuild themselves as long as the host is alive. Stem cell research is not worth supporting. Advocates of stem cell research believe that the cells are not equivalent to human life because it is inside the womb even facing the fact that the start of a human life is in the moment of conception. While many people say the use of the cell research is a way to advance medical knowledge and expand treatments, there is no guarantee that the treatments will work. There is limited ability of the adult stem cells to grow in culture for long time and they cannot distinguish from others(Joseph). What this means is that the stem cells do not last long and can not be distinguished from other cells. What 's the point of having them if they don’t last long enough to be of use?

In Galileo’s Daughter, Dava Sobel assembles an account of Galileo’s attempt to prove the heliocentric model of the universe in a world where mans’ logical reasoning is potent, yet second to his devotion to God, and by relation, the Catholic Church. Sobel writes about Galileo’s tendency to question the reasoning of those around him. Though it may not be apparent, Galileo was born into a world of great similarity to the modern day. In Galileo’s time, Science was seen as blasphemy and a tool to undermine the construct of God. Moreover, it didn’t help matters that at the time, the Church was the governing body throughout Italy. This made it particularly difficult for scientific advancement, as any theory that suggested conflict with religious teaching

Memories are an important component to Ng’s novel “Bone.” I think it’s important to note that “Bone” could be called a memory book, because of how it moves in reverse chronological order and through flashbacks. Memories make up the book, but they also play a role within the novel. Memories are a fragment of an important past event. Through memories, we keep the feelings and people in those memories alive, which is what Leila says in the quote above. Leila later says, “If Ona was here, she would count the living; Ona would tell us that there are more living than dead” (Ng 86). People live on because they are remembered. This is essentially what the quote is saying. Every time Ona is mentioned in the novel, her spirit is kept alive by Leila remembering her. Memories allow Leila and her family to remember those who are important to them, it keeps them alive, even if it’s just in their minds.

• Anatomical location- The integumentary system is superior or external to the body. The organs that make up this system are the skin, glands, nails, hair, and sense receptors. In addition, the skeletal frame is superficial to the cutaneous membrane in the human body.

Spongy bone also knowns as cancellous contain red and yeallow bone marrow. Red bone marrow produces roughly 200 million of red blood cells (RBC) per a day. Yellow bone marrow contains primary fat cells. This can be transformed into red bone marrow to provide RBC if needed (Ivy Rose Holistic,n.d). The sponge is light and have low density which balance the heavier parts of bone. Sponge tend to form a long line of stress which gives strength and flexibility in that area (Biology dictionary, n.d). articular cartilage is smooth elastic tissue which decreases friction and distribute load. Cartilage exhibits stress-shielding of the solid matrix components due to its high-water content, the incompressibility of water and the structural organization of the proteoglycan and collagen molecules (Derek Moore,n.d). Epiphyseal line is area of developing tissue and everyone has at least two, one at each end of bonePeriosteum is outer membrane which contains connective tissue, nerves and capillaries. It allows blood in and out of bone and help with growth and repair (PubMedhealth,n.d). compact bone provides the strength and protection of bones. It provides strong mechanical layers which with

Attention getter: Amelia Earhart: American hero and one of this nation’s most puzzling mysteries. You all know the story of how on July 19, 1937 the iconic first female aviator disappeared into the Pacific during her flight around the globe. Well, according to an article covered by Science Daily on March 7th, professor Richard Jantz of the University of Tennessee used his forensic anthropologic expertise to match skeletal remains found in the South Pacific to Amelia Earhart.

Slaves had it hard throughout their lifetime. In the book Chains it gives brief examples of what it was like to be a slave and what some had to go through. In the book it explained a slave's life in plantation, small farm, and the city. Slaves working in plantation were in the rural areas of the country. When the slaves had to work it was a lot harder because of the sun. Out here it was a lot easier to escape but it was harder to be able to survive on their own. The owners of the plantation were very brutal to the slaves, verbally and physically. One example from the book Chains, it states, “He grabbed my arm and pulled me roughly to my feet. “I told you to move,” Mr Robert snarled at me. “Apologies, sir,” I said wincing with pain”(6-7). This shows how harsh the owners were and the slaves couldn’t do anything about it. If they tried to do something back they would most

The Neovison vison dissection lab was intended so students could study the external and internal anatomy and physiology of the Neovison vison. Once the Neovison vison was dissected, students could see the similar and different characteristics of the Neovison vison that are present within the human body. Students were able to identify muscles, bones, organs, tissues, insertion points, and origin points within the body of the animal. Reflection on skeletal and muscular structure was also studied throughout the dissection lab. Although the muscles within the Neovison vison and the skeletal structure of the Neovison vison are highly similar to those in a human body, this dissection lab made it known that there truly are anatomical differences within

In the essay “The Culture of Denial” (2015) by Christopher Delgado, he expounds on the opinion that there is an issue within the public with the trusting of the scientific community’s discoveries. Delgado does this by providing numerous examples of the kind of discoveries that a good amount of the public does not fully believe along with some examples of why those people do not trust said scientific concept. Delgado explains this in order to expose the masses to how much we mistrust the scientific community, and how we must alter that mistrust into trust. The intended audience for this reading is the general public, or specifically the ones who are in denial of scientific information.

Science and religion has always been an argument for years. I think science and religion are both very important to the way of life and how we see the entire universe. But I believe religion is more believable than science. For science can be proven wrong at any given time and religion can never be stated untrue. Such as the story of creation, evolution, practices and beliefs can contradict these theories.

The human spine (also referred to as vertebral column or spinal column) is a bony structure in the middle of the back starts at the base of the skull and continues to the pelvis. It consists of vertebrae (small bones) and joints (intervertebral disks) together to form a flexible and stable spinal column. The spinal cord and nerve roots are preserved by the vertebral body, supports the body and responsible for carrying weight. The disks allow movement in the spine and have a shock absorbing. They separate the vertebrae from each other so they also protect them from the wear and tear. There is an empty space in the spine to permit the nerve roots and spinal cord to pass inside.
