Aging causes changes in the body with or without the presence of disease processes. Tissue elasticity reduces over time and fat replaces space that was once occupied by the muscle (Corbin-Lewis et al.‚ 2005). Similar changes can be seen in the oropharyngeal component during normal aging. With age‚ the mucosa in the oral cavity becomes more keratinized or fibrous (Corbin-Lewis et al.‚ 2005). The tongue becomes smoother and starts to atrophy. The temporomandibular joint starts to lose range of

These topics were very informative and relevant in the day to day activities of the teachers and I learned a lot from the discussions. One of the topics that I really like most is the Social Cognitive Learning Theory of Albert Bandura. This theory was focus on learning through observing others. As the discussant of this

I have my own views about becoming the Principal of my school. I feel that the principal of the school should also be elected from the students. When we live in a democracy‚ why should we deny this right to the students? There should be a Students’ Council elected by the students themselves. Every class should send its own representative. These class representatives should form a Parliament. The Principal should be made responsible to them. The students are never consulted in the appointment of the

specialized cells for specific areas of the human body. There are two different categories of stem cells. They are the adult or somatic stem cells and the embryonic stem cells. The embryonic stem cell is spawned when a recently fertilized egg divides‚ which is then capable of becoming any cell in the human body. The embryonic cells are vital because unlike the adult stem cells‚ embryonic cells have the ability to spawn every type of cell that is in the body. These cells can just as importantly be

studying the human body‚ there are seven organizational approaches. Each approach studies the body in a different yet unique way and is used in the health care field. The approaches consist of; body planes and directions‚ body cavities‚ quadrants and regions‚ anatomy and physiology‚ microscopic and macroscopic‚ body systems and medical specialties. There are three body planes which use different directions: coronal‚ sagittal‚ and transverse planes. Coronal plane slices the body from head to

Superior to Humans Extraterrestrial bodies are far more advanced than humans on Earth and are capable of exceptional feats on an everyday basis. In this research paper‚ I will be discussing the possibilities of extraterrestrial aliens in our solar system. I will describe the reasons to why extraterrestrial bodies have a far more advanced physical makeup as well as mental abilities that are out of the realm for any humans on Earth. I will explain the possible outcomes that might happen if aliens

The human body is a very complex working system and it requires a lot of energy to function properly. The human body eats food molecules that contain nutrients in order to get the energy needed to function. Once these food molecules are broken down in the human body some of the nutrients are made into glucose‚ which is an energy source. This glucose is not quite usable as one whole thing so our body breaks down even more into other molecules like pyruvate. Eventually the human body needs to make
