human organs on 3D printers. This process is called bioprinting and “it uses an “ink” of stem cells to produce 3D shapes that can be places into the human body‚ where hopefully the cells will be accepted by the existing tissues.” Also‚ artificial limbs are being created with 3D printers. A boy lost both of his arms to a bombing in Sudan‚ and now is able to use an artificial arm to change his life. Scientists are also printing body parts ranging from plastic skulls to artificial eyes. 3D printing

chose to tell you about artificial limbs. Job order costing is appropriate to use since artificial limbs are specially made for certain people of all different shapes‚ sizes and colors so each limb is unique. This company would need a cost system because there are many different steps needed to create the limb. A manager would need to decide how much each individual person who spent time making the limb would get paid. They could get paid by the hour or by how many limbs they complete in one day. A manager

syndrome called phantom limb and experience paralysis and pain in their phantom limb. What he found out was the paralysis in his patients’ phantom limbs were actually learned because before the patients had their limbs amputated‚ their limbs were paralyzed and the brain was sending messages to move but it would get visually messages that the limb wasn’t moving; thus the learned paralysis would get carried over to the phantom limb. What he did to cure his patients’ from phantom limb and the paralysis was

Florida-based company ONI BioPharma has engineered a new bacterial strain‚ called SMaRT‚ that cannot produce lactic acid—plus‚ it releases an antibiotic that kills the natural decay-causing strain. Dentists will only need to swab SMaRT‚ now in clinical trials‚ onto teeth once to keep them healthy for a lifetime. * 2. Artificial Lymph Nodes Scientists from Japan’s

This is called dysvascular amputation

About two million people in the United States are amputees (“Limb Loss Statistics”). Technology research on prosthetics has improved tremendously over the years. There are now many different models of prosthetics that amputees can use. Most prosthetics are aimed to help injured military soldiers (Snedden 11). Scientists
