A) Growth plate and Endochondral ossification: In order to maintain a healthy skeletal system which is crucial for different organs such as respiratory system‚ brain‚ spinal cord and heart‚ it is very important to have a good development of the skeletal system. Endochondral ossification is the process through which the axial and appendicular skeletons are formed through the formation of a cartilage inter-mediate. A good model for endochondral ossification is the limb bud where the precursor cells

Causes Gigantism is abnormally large growth due to an excess of growth hormone during childhood‚ before the bone growth plates have closed. The most common cause of too much growth hormone release is a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland. The consequence is an accelerated growth rate and increased height as well as a number of additional soft tissue changes. * The growth plate‚ also known as the epiphyseal plate or physis‚ is the area of growing tissue near the ends of the long

Experiment 1 Salivary Gland Chromosome Preparation Introduction: Microscopic‚ threadlike part of the cell and a structured DNA which carries hereditary information in the form of genes is a chromosome. Endomitosis is mitosis without nuclear or cellular division. This produces many copies of the same chromosome in a single nucleus (Kim 2004). For this experiment‚ I hypothesize that D. melanogaster undergoes endomitosis meaning without cellular mitotic division. If it undergoes endomitosis‚ then

The Role of the Endocrine System Insulin‚ a hormone buried by the pancreas‚ controls blood sugar levels in the body. It travels from the pancreas to the liver in the bloodstream. Other responses are controlled by hormones; the response is slower but longer lasting than if it had been controlled by the nervous system. Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes
