human body that allows for humans to be able to function and communicate‚ but it is also a structure that can greatly affect the body and its functions if damaged. The brain is at risk of damage in most situations such as accidents or disease‚ but one of the greatest events in life that have a huge risk of brain damage are contact sports. Four brain structures that can be affected by a sports related injury to the head are the cerebellum‚ hippocampus‚ amygdala‚ and thalamus. These structures at risk

Background: Connective tissue nevi (CTN) are hamartomas in which components of the dermis (collagen‚ elastin‚ or glycosaminoglycans) are altered. Appear as firm‚ asymptomatic‚ skin-colored plaques composed of closely grouped papules with an orange peel-like surface texture. Previous classifications made based on which dermal component was found in excess‚ genetic patterns of inheritance‚ and +/- organ involvement fail to explain all reported cases. o Example: Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome

Myeloid tissue Is the bone marrow Why we discuss myeloid tissue/bone marrow? – because we want to study the development of blood cells. We called it HEMOPOEISIS/HEMATOPEISIS HEMOPEISIS/HEMATOPOEISIS –Blood cell formation (occurs in the bone group) Why study this? Because: there is a continuous replacement of cells they have short life span when they are in the peripheral circulation so‚ we have to study how these cells mature and differentiate Phases of hematopoeisis MESOBLASTIC PHASE

Outline the main reasons for gender differences in subject choices? There are many reasons for which there is gender difference in subject choice such as people stereotyping‚ labelling‚ peer pressure and gender domination. All these affect the way the students are represented by teachers or other members. Firstly the reason there is gender difference in subject choice is because of the way society shapes children’s gender identity‚ these can lead to different subject choice. There is a gendered

Histology is the study of tissues: in our case‚ it means study of tissues which make up the human body. Tissue is defined as a group of cells which perform a common function. All the cells in a given tissue are not necessarily identical or similar e.g. blood is a type of connective tissue but it has many different types of cells. However‚ tissue also contains two other components i.e. ground substance (or matrix) and fibres. Despite the complexity of the human body and the diversity of organs

The main branches of science (also referred to as "sciences"‚ "scientific fields"‚ or "scientific disciplines") are commonly divided into two major groups: social sciences‚ which study human behavior and societies‚ and natural sciences‚ which study natural phenomena (including fundamental forces and biological life). These groupings are empirical sciences‚ which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and be capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under

Tissues to Tattoos 1. Why do some areas of the body have simple squamous epithelium and other areas have stratified squamous epithelium? Stratified squamous epithelium is used in areas of the body that undergo more abrasion (Epithelial Cells) than then areas of the body that require just having

four major tissues in the human body. One of the major tissues is the epithelial issue that covers the surface of the body. It helps line the body cavities and organ cavities. There is no extracellular matrix between the cells that are located in the epithelial tissues because they are closely packed. The epithelial is also composed of one or more layers of packed cells. The other major tissue is the connective tissue‚ which is more diverse and abundant‚ compared to the other tissues. The function
