SICKLE CELL ANEMIA Dillon Lukacs Normal Circulatory system In a normal circulatory system blood flows easily through the veins and arteries. Oxygen is delivered throughout the body to all the vital organs. Sickle Cell Disease An anemia is a condition where there are less red blood cells than normal. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder where the body creates sickle or crescent shaped red blood cells. In a normal blood cell they look like donuts with a hole in the middle. This shape helps them

done on the genetic causes of Sickle Cell Anemia and how it developes‚ as well as it’s effects on the circulatory‚ muscular‚ and respiratory systems‚ as well as it’s effects on the joints and other systems of the body‚ and the complications associated with them. Most of the research has been done to explore on the reasons why it mostly effects the African-American community and people who are from the West Coast of Africa. It has also been known that Sickle Cell Anemia also effects people from the

Dangers of Cell Phones While Driving In today’s society most of us have become very attached to our cell phones. They have become a very large part of our lives because they simplify communication‚ and they help us with everyday tasks. However‚ when used while driving in a car‚ cell phones can become very dangerous or even deadly by distracting drivers from the road. Using a cell phone while driving can include talking‚ texting‚ or navigating through a smartphone app. In fact‚ using your cellphone

Biology – Assignment One Cells. Question One Explain the roles of the main components and features of a cell to the cell function. A typical animal cell is rounded in shape‚ surrounded by a cell membrane. This holds in the cytoplasm‚ which contains other structures such as the nucleus‚ ribosomes‚ and mitochondria. Each cell has tiny structures inside called organelles; each type of organelle performs a particular function. For example there are mitochondria (power stations)‚ ribosomes (protein

Sickle Cell Disease Physical-Adult • Eye problems. The retina‚ the "film" at the back of the eye that receives and processes visual images‚ can deteriorate when it does not get enough nourishment from circulating red blood cells. Damage to the retina can be serious enough to cause blindness. • Jaundice‚ or yellowing of the skin‚ eyes‚ and mouth. Yellowing of skin and eyes. These are signs of jaundice‚ resulting from rapid breakdown of red blood cells. • Delayed growth and puberty in children

Hydrogen Fuel Cells There are many reasons to look for new cleaner forms of energy. Fossil fuels‚ being non-renewable‚ will eventually run out. Pollution from burning fossil fuels destroys our environment. Hydrogen fuel cells could be used many places where fossil fuels are currently being used. Using hydrogen as a form of energy can not only reduce our dependence on imported oil‚ but also benefit the environment by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants that affect our air quality

to a phone that could be taken virtually anywhere. He called it the cell phone. The cell phone today doesn’t share anything more than its name with the original Cooper model from 1983. However‚ the cell phone remains just as much of a groundbreaking device that divides people in very powerful ways. There are some who strongly back the product and those who stand strongly against it with very valid reasons. At times‚ the cell phone serves as a powerful communication device for humans and as a

Animal Cell Song I’m here to talk to you about animal cells. They are made up of many organelles. Chromosome‚ nucleus‚ those are a few They need them to live like me and you. Well we’ll start with the nucleus the “command center.” It’s the brain of the cell and keeps it away from danger. It’s a safe haven for the chromosomes. They store DNA like our own. The precious DNA carries our genes. Genes tell the cell what to do like info. machines. Now let’s talk about the mitochondrion
