The Sperm and the Egg Anna Carroll PSY 265 When sperm fertilizes an egg‚ conception occurs. For conception to occur the sperm and egg must meet. This is a story about how Bob‚ the sperm and Mary‚ the egg meet for the first time. The moment Bob and Mary come together a new individual is formed. Mary’s was produced at the time she was in a fetus’s ovaries. It has been over 23 years since she and five million others like her were produced. It is an exciting day for Mary because unlike all

Two of humanity’s main priorities are at stake: protecting life and curing disease. Embryonic stem cells are the solution to the many unanswered questions surrounding these priorities. Many people question why scientists cannot simply use adult stem cells for their research instead of using embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have been researched for a much longer period of time and some treatments have successfully been developed from them. There are a couple of major constraints on the

Against Stem Cell Research Research on stem cells is knowledge constantly being explored about how an organism evolves from a single cell and how cells in good condition are put in place of cells that no longer work. The outcome that is anticipated from doing this research is that if scientist can fine tune stem cells into regular cells like blood or heart muscles and put it back into the body‚ then possibly they may find a cure for some of the widespread diseases that exist in our world

Stem cells are primitive cells found in embryos‚ fetuses‚ and recently adults that can grow into 210 types of cells in the body. James A. Thomson‚ an embryologist at the University of Wisconsin‚ and John D. Gearhart of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Thursday‚ November 8 1998 that they and their colleagues had isolated the cell. Scientists have tried for years to find stem cells because of their great medical value. Diseases such as Diabetes‚ Bone Marrow Cancer‚ Chronic

In cell biology and Pathophysiology‚ cellular adaptation refers to changes made by a cell in response to adverse environmental changes.[1] The adaptation may be physiologic(al) (normal) or pathologic(al) (abnormal). Five major types of adaptation include atrophy‚ hypertrophy‚ hyperplasia‚ dysplasia‚ and metaplasia. Atrophy is a decrease in cell size. If enough cells in an organ atrophy the entire organ will decrease in size. Thymus atrophy during early human development (childhood) is an example

Because MEPD‚ a self-contained division of SMA‚ achieved a profitable operating margin of 6.5% in 1990‚ is seems clear that they have survived an industry shakeout in the micro-electronic and telecommunications market. However‚ this is short of their targeted goal of 25-30%‚ which they achieved just five years earlier (see Appendix 1). This mediocre performance is the result not only of an industry downturn but also profound organizational and structural problems at MEPD. Due to increased competitiveness
