...Clinical Notes The Visible Human Project p. 7 Homeostasis and Disease p. 13 An Introduction to Studying the Human Body This textbook will serve as an introduction to the inner workings of your body, providing information about both its structure and its function. Many of the students who use this book are preparing for careers in health-related fields—but regardless of your career choice, you will find the information within these pages relevant to your future. You do, after all, live in a human body! Being human, you most likely have a seemingly insatiable curiosity—and few subjects arouse so much curiosity as our own bodies. The study of anatomy and physiology will provide answers to many questions regarding the functioning of your body in both health and disease. Although we will be focusing on the human body, the principles we will learn apply to other living things as well. Our world contains an enormous diversity of living organisms that vary widely in appearance and lifestyle. One aim of biology—the science of life—is to discover the unity and the patterns that underlie this diversity, and thereby shed light on what we have in common with other living things. Animals can be classified according to their shared characteristics, and birds, fish, and humans are members of a group called the vertebrates, characterized by a segmented vertebral column. The shared characteristics and organizational patterns provide useful clues about how these animals have evolved over time...

...Project 1: Chapter 1: The front page of the magazine relates to the book because on the front cover is a picture of a fish with a flat head. In the book, Neil Shubin talks about how in the Arctic he first saw the skeleton of a fish with a flat head, this led him to believe it would explain the early stages of the human skull, neck and potentially the limbs. This flat headed fish called the Tiktaalik was an important find because it showcased the transition between fish and land animals (specifically tetrapods). On the cover of the magazine it also says “When Fins Became Limbs”. In chapter one it explains how the Tiktaalik has fins but inside the fins there are bones that resemble bones typically found in the upper arm, forearm and parts of the wrist. The Tiktaalik also has joints while still having scales and webbing typically found...

...Jason Billing Mrs.Werle AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 1 – Finding Your Inner Fish 1. Explain why the author and his colleagues chose to focus on 375 million year old rocks in their search for fossils. Be sure to include the types of rocks and their location during their paleontology work in 2004. In 365 million year old rocks the amphibians had characteristics that were not similar to fish, but in 385 million they found fish that were dissimilar to amphibians. The scientists then looked at the 375 million year old rocks to find the missing piece. The rocks were sedimentary rocks in composition which are formed on the bottom of rivers and some seas as well, where most marine life live. Some places they looked were Ellesmere Island, in Canada, a good location due to the lack of human effects on the environment. 2. Describe the fossil Tiktaalik. Why does this...

...1 Jacob Widner Minter Bio 04 September 20XX Reflection paper Since our last paper we have covered about four chapters. Covering chapters seven, eight, eleven, and 13. All of these chapters have to deal with the human body and what makes the human body what it truly is. Such things as Genes. Genetically modified organisms(GMO), genetics/inheritance, and stem cells. In chapter seven we talked about the structure of human DNA. DNA is a rather complex structure because that's just what it is a double helix structure. Hereditary Molecule are served as an instruction manual for how to build an individual. One DNA molecule has 23 pairs of chromosomes one from each parent. The 23ed chromosome is what determines your sex, you could either be a female XX, or a male XY. Part of the chapter we did a lap on making our own DNA chain. We had to take our supplies and see what traits we had two off and which one was closest to the lines in yo have that trait. Once you made you match you had to cut them out and put them with the other chain to from your DNA linking them together. Chapter eight is about GMO’s. A GMO is where something in the DNA sequence has been altered by humans. Certain things have been changed by humans. Such things as plants. Plants have been changed to help them last in different weather conditions. Such as drought, the desert, or even climates that don't provide the right weather conditions for them to grow. Now 2 ...

The begun of the cyborgs unplugged, they started to talk about the two main people that create the cyborgs project. The two people were very important to this project because not only they made the cyborgs; they made something that most people would not have made. The idea was to create a cyborg with animals and machines that will response in section they create it for. The cyborg they waned to create was a man-machine hybrid that would become an artifact-organism system in what is an implanted electronic device. The device was to have a bodily feedback singles that would automatically response to the wakefulness and metabolism and even the respiration, heart rate, but other as well that would be feedbacks signals. Also explain how the device work as in if its was a toilet seat that would be flush. The way the toilet seat that flush: It would have a to be flush in order to have the water flows into the ballcock and than the water would be riding on the rising tide, which would reaches to the preset level and than after that it would thus recloses the valve.

...attitude of staleness, rather than revolving and advancing. Bush’s book (2003) is divided into eight chapters. It starts with Chapter 1, entitled “The Worldview of the Advancement”. This chapter discusses the fundamental of compare and contrast of modern view and earlier view of God, nature, history and mankind. The second chapter of Bush’s book, The Rise in the Advancement of Science, pays particular attention the development of modern science. The rise of uniformitarian thought in evolution. “The human body is related to nature, and it is similar in many respects to the body of animals” (34). This thought does not include that the Christian view that a human body is different than animals. We have a soul, whereas, animals do not. Sigmund Freud’s The Future of an Illusion, argued that religion base on wishful illusion, rather than reality. Bush’s third chapter (2003), The Advancement and the Theory of Knowledge, concentrate on how science effects and outcomes with the absence of God. The Bible promotes the idea that man was made in the image of God. However naturalistic biological evolution “explains the variety of living things as being a set of natural variations of organic matter. Every life-form, including human life, supposedly arose from the same underlying reality” (page 38). The only reality that exist is physical reality. Bush refers to this as “nature”.

Copyright © 2011 by Pearson Education, Inc. 3.1 ■ General Layout of the Nervous System I n order to understand what the brain does, it is first necessary to understand what it is—to know the names and locations of its major parts and how they are connected to one another. This chapter introduces you to these fundamentals of brain anatomy. Before you begin this chapter, I want to apologize for the lack of foresight displayed by early neuroanatomists in their choice of names for neuroanatomical structures— but, then, how could they have anticipated that Latin and Greek, universal languages of the educated in their day, would not be compulsory university fare in our time? To help you, I have provided the literal English meanings of many of the neuroanatomical terms, and I have kept this chapter as brief, clear, and to the point as possible, covering only the most important structures. The payoff for your effort will be a fundamental understanding of the structure of the human brain and a new vocabulary to discuss it. 51 Central nervous system Peripheral nervous system 3.1 General Layout of the Nervous System ISBN 0-558-78571-9 Divisions of the Nervous System The vertebrate nervous system is composed of two divisions: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system (see Figure 3.1).
