Alternatives to Animal Testing Throughout history‚ animal testing has been used for a variety of research and tests‚ but we never stop to realize the cruelty and inhumanity of their environments. Gandhi once said‚ “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” (qtd. in Hajar). Animal testing is unnecessary and irrational because we have the technology to replace the inhumane testing‚ which proves to be even more accurate and precise with its

Minerals are important for maintaining homeostasis which essentially is a big part of what keeps us alive. Minerals are inorganic compounds（lack of carbon atom)‚ which are quite different from other nutrients. The reason is that carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and vitamins are all organic compounds(contains carbon) . The structure of minerals is very simple‚ usually nothing more than a molecule‚ or molecules. Most of the minerals in a diet come from eating plants and animals or from drinking water

The human body can show anatomical non-pathological anomalies known as variations which need to be able to be recognised. Physiology focuses on the systems and their organs of the human body and their functions. Many systems and mechanisms interact in order to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal structure frames the
