All living things are made up of cells. It’s the smallest unit of life. When cells make up one big group of cells put together‚ the group is called tissue. Tissue makes up organs which eventually make up organ systems. There are 11 different types of organ systems throughout the human body. Some major organs systems are circulatory‚ respiratory‚ digestive‚ excretory‚ nervous and endocrine system.Why would a human dissect a chicken leg to learn about different types of tissue and blood vessels rather

The church banned dissection for a time‚ however from 1492 the pope allowed dissection as long as the body was that of a criminal. The first medical school was set up in Salerno in 900 AD by the church. By the Montpellier in France was the most famous but there was a number of others at these school students

Cells Now we need to discuss CELLS. You’ve probably heard of cells‚ and may even know of a few‚ such as blood cells‚ nerve cells‚ or skin cells. What are these things called cells? Cells are the smallest living things. You’ll be learning a lot about cells in this course. For now‚ however‚ I’ll introduce you to just a few basic things about them. Cells are extremely tiny organisms that carry out all of the functions of life inside a thin layer of “skin” called (unimaginatively) the CELL MEMBRANE

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to observe the external and internal anatomy of a frog and identify the anatomical structures in order to further understand and compare it to the anatomy of the human body. Describe the digits on each foot. Which pair of feet is webbed? Why? How can you tell the difference between a male and female frog by looking at the forelimbs? The front feet of the frog are webbed which allows it to swim easier and quicker. Webbed feet are a fusion of two or more of the

comparison to other branches of medicine‚ I believe that surgery must be grounded in anatomy. I have been given the opportunity to perform my research on the cadavers of executed criminals after many years of only studying primates. This will increase my dissection material and provide a means in which I can compare the apes with the human. Due to various religious reasons‚ human cadavers have not been made available in times past. I see the world adapting to the importance of surgery and anatomy in medicine
