Macromolecular Composition of the Liver Cell Formal Report Aims The aim of the experiment was to test for the presence of DNA‚ RNA‚ protein and glycogen in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of bovine liver cells. From the findings of the results the distribution of these macromolecules can be shown within the liver cell. This was carried out by undertaking qualitative experiments‚ where the observation of a colour change was noted and a quantitative experiment‚ where numerical data was recorded from

environment [2]. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent that can be decomposed by catalase [11]‚ the liver is able to decompose hydrogen peroxide enzymatically because it contains catalase [12]. The reaction rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction under the effect of changes in temperature was tested in this experiment. It was hypothesised that the fastest reaction rate would occur a 37 degrees Celsius. Liver and hydrogen peroxide were placed into 4 different test tubes‚ all set in different temperatures:

to the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance‚ there were 79‚466 patients on the U.S. National Waiting List as of January 1‚ 2002‚ with only 6‚148 donors in the country that year. In response to the organ shortage‚ scientists have made recent advances in transplant technology with the development of two new types of organ replacement: xenotransplantation and artificial organ replacement; the latter of the two types consists of either synthetic or natural materials. However‚ because xenotransplantation poses

below 40 but above 20‚ then the liver will show bubbles. If the temperature is raised higher than the optimum temperature‚ then an extreme decline in enzyme activity would occur following by the quick denaturing of the enzyme‚ rendering it is permanently useless. Also about 37°C is body temperature. The liver that was at 25°C had a huge amount of bubbles (a 4 on the scale) and the 0°C still had some bubbles but not as much (a 2 on the scale). The boiled liver had no bubbles. My hypothesis was

An Ethical Implication of Organ Transplants Nickolus Sorenson Health Care Ethics and Medical Law Instructor: Kymberly Lum September 24‚ 2012 All aspects of health care face the inevitability of moral and ethical issues arising on numerous fronts. The organ donation and transplantation field of medicine is no exception. Each day‚ approximately 18 people die waiting for an organ to become available for transplant (Taranto‚ 2010). In the grand scheme

In the Transplant Department‚ the electronic medical record system (EMR) is used to house information obtained about each patient‚ in one central location. Much of the data stored in the EMR includes medication records‚ patient assessments‚ clinician notes‚ and service requests. From this‚ data reports are generated monthly in search of potential gaps in care related to topics such as immunosuppressant medication compliance‚ patient responses to the transplant preparative regimen and emotional assessment
