Brain Dissection Aim: the aim is to dissect the brain and identify all the different parts of it. Equipment: a semi –frozen sheep’s brain‚ dissecting board‚ dissecting instruments (scalpel‚ forceps‚ scissors)‚ plastic ruler‚ paper towel and gloves. Method: * We placed the brain so that the cerebral hemispheres are at the top of the board and the brain stem is at the bottom. * My group identified the external features of the brain: the cerebral hemispheres‚ cerebellum and brain stem.

Stem cells are an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type‚ and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. The body is not able to produce new neurons to repair spinal cords injuries‚ such as those that cause paralysis. Because of this‚ there is no way for doctors to restore movement to paralyzed people. Stem cells may be the perfect solution to that problem. Researchers have found that implants

Anatomy and PhysiologyHuman Brain The anatomy of the brain is complex due its intricate structure and function. Thisamazing organ acts as a control center by receiving‚ interpreting‚ and directing sensoryinformation throughout the body. There are three major divisions of the brain. They arethe forebrain‚ the midbrain‚ and the hindbrain. Anatomy of the Brain: Brain Divisions The forebrain is responsible for a variety of functions including receiving andprocessing sensory information‚ thinking

Stem Cells: Future of Failure? When does a sperm and egg begin to resemble what we call a fetus? Research has shown that at four weeks‚ the embryo is the size of an seasame seed (New Health Advisor). The cells that make up this sesame seed could be the future of regenerative medicine. Stem cells are the cells made during the process of fertilization. They are the first traces of humans‚ making them basically a blank slate for all types of cells. They can become essentially any type of cell in the

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells made from human somatic cells are a very recent technology of our world. They were first created using mice in 2006‚ and were created from human cells in 2007 by Japanese and US scientists. For many people‚ they represent a beautiful work of science that will help to save many lives. Induced pluripotent stem cells are human skin cells that have been reprogrammed to have the stem cells ability to

Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to process information‚ react

Are the brains of men and women specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities? Many studies are showing that the brains of men and women may be specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities. An example of this would be a man’s brain using one part of the brain to accomplish a task and a woman’s brain accomplishing the same task with another part of the brain. Based on the text I believe that the brains of men and women are specialized in different ways. One example
