Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy‚ also known as CTE is a progressive degenerative brain disease. It is a lot like alzheimer’s and dementia in the sense that both Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and alzheimer’s/dementia have similar symptoms. Some symptoms of CTE Include memory loss‚ confusion‚ impaired judgment‚ impulse control problems‚ aggression‚ depression‚ anxiety‚ suicidality‚ parkinsonism‚ and eventually‚ progressive dementia. As you can see in the thermal scan above the brain is progressively

Overview Snake venom is the poison fluid normally secreted by venomous snakes when biting. It is produced in the glands‚ and injected by the fangs. Snake venom is used to immobilize and/or kill prey‚ and used secondarily in defence. It is a clear‚ viscous fluid of amber or straw colour. There are two main types of venom produced by snakes‚ containing primarily either: *Neurotoxins - these attack the nervous system. *Hemotoxins - these attack the circulatory system. While most snakes’ venom contains

Bennet Omalu discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in a former NFL player‚ Mike Webster. CTE is a progressive brain degenerative disease that is caused by repetitive brain trauma. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy can affect who has had multiple brain injuries and may be any age. CTE can only be diagnosed through an autopsy but‚ tests can be done to determine if a person

1 Western Governors University 2 Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Metabolism is the process of cellular respiration. It involves three steps‚ 1) glycolysis‚ 2) the citric acid or Krebs cycle and 3) electron transport system. The glycolytic pathway or glycolysis is a metabolic process that leads to the formation of the energy source adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is essential to the cell and the cellular processes used by the cell. The first step‚ glycolysis is the process

All living things require the input of energy to exist – this energy is used to drive the thousands of biochemical reactions that occur to allow the organism to grow‚ reproduce and sustain life. This energy comes almost always from the Sun‚ in the rst instance – energy from sunlight is captured by photosynthetic organisms (e.g. plants‚ algae‚ certain bacteria) and converted into carbohydrates. These are then broken down by a process called cellular respiration‚ to produce energy-rich molecules (e

I have studied a variety of subjects such as animal biology‚ genetics‚ comparative vertebrate anatomy‚ immunology‚ plant biology‚ biochemistry‚ and animal behavior. I have been challenged in new ways to think‚ when I fail I seek to find new approaches to solutions and remain persistent. Biochemistry was a very difficult course‚ with may cycles and chemical processes that are very precise and intricate. By repeated drawing of each step I was able to remember and
