Lab 1: ANATOMICAL ORIENTATION Purpose: The purpose of this Lab is to gain a full understanding of the Anatomical Orientation through completion of an in-depth worksheet‚ using all available research tools. Although there are a great number terms to learn‚ fully understanding each will be absolutely key in understanding the location of all body structures covered in this unit. Hypothesis: If I review all instructions thoroughly‚ and utilize all resources in the process of completing the Anatomical

The image I chose was Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical sketches‚ the reason I chose this artwork and drawings was it intrigues me how precise Da Vinci’s drawings were and how he viewed the anatomy of the human body. Back then there wasn’t x-rays or any technological advancements that would allow someone to see the human body but Da Vici was able to use his mind and envision how the anatomy of the human body is and draw it. The drawings many of his first human images were anatomically inaccurate representations

The person to read Galen’s book On Anatomical Procedures‚ a book about his surgical findings‚ was Andreas Vesalius. Upon reading this book‚ Vesalius decided to do his own dissections to see just how true Galen’s observations had been. He had been granted a job as a surgeon in 1573 right after medical school at just 23 years old. As Galen had only used animals as his source of dissection‚ Vesalius found that Galen was wrong about anatomy in many occasions. One of these incidences occurred because

Anatomical dead space and functional residual capacity (FRC) play a very important role to ensure the constancy of alveolar gas tensions. Firstly it is important to understand what the anatomical dead space and FRC actually are. The anatomical dead space refers to the gas in the conducting areas of the respiratory system where air does not come into contact with alveoli. Examples of places in the respiratory system where anatomical dead space is present are the mouth and trachea. The functional residual

Among the current fields of research in Biotechnology‚ research on drugs and vaccines targeting viral diseases such as HIV/AIDs has been of major importance given the high prevalence of these diseases across the world. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a type of virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune-deficiency Syndrome) (HIV and AIDS‚ n.d). The virus devastates the body’s defense mechanism‚ leaving a victim highly susceptible to opportunistic infections such as those caused by bacteria‚ fungi

one of these branches is Microbiology and within this specific branch theories have been created. It may not be obvious theories are ever evolving and go through changes and previous theories are falsified and new ones emerge. For instance‚ the theory of biogenesis was first introduced by a man named Rudolph Virchow‚ who eagerly challenged the current theory of spontaneous generation at the time. Spontaneous generation theory was the thought that some forms of life could actually be spontaneously

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) LSD)‚ a potent hallucinogenic drug‚ also called a psychedelic‚ first synthesized from lysergic acid in Switzerland in l038. Lysergic acid is a white odorless drug‚ a component of the mold of ERGOT. Ergot is a product of the fungus Claviceps purpurea. Th e bio-active ingredients of ergot are all derivatives of lysergic acid. LSD is a semi-synthetic derivative of lysergic acid. Thus LSD is an "ergot" - like substance. The drug evokes dreamlike changes
