...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to not only cut the cost of cigarettes in half, but also save you hundred of dollars. A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple. Why don’t we, instead of spending the $6 plus on an already produced pack of Marlboro Lights, make and produce our own pack of very similar cigarettes? Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive. GS Hammack, a man who writes for a website called AssociatedContact.com, said that “smokers that are looking for...

...Henrietta Lacks as well explain the issues of tissue collection. Tissue collection causes lots of issue like the arguments of ownership, privacy, consent, and compensation. Tissue collection causes arguments over ownership. People tend to have a strong sense of ownership when it comes to their body. One main and important point in the debate over ownership of human biological materials Scientist feared that if tissue samples including blood cells were considered patients property then researches taking them without getting consent would be charged with theft, which would “create chaos for researchers”. They were worried that “patients would block the progress of science by holding out for excessive profits” which could possibly happen. When tissue are a part of your body they are clearly yours but when they are taken away from your body things get questionable, because of this it causes an issue in tissue collection...

...HeLa cells. In 1951, a young black woman admitted herself into Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to have doctors look at what she described as a knot on her womb. It turned out Henrietta had an aggressive case of cervical cancer, and almost 9 months after first visiting Hopkins, she died at the age of 31. Before she died, the doctors treating her had taken samples of her tumor and sent them to a man named George Gey who also worked in Hopkins, but was working to create the first “immortal” line of human cells in hopes of helping cancer research. Gey’s lab worked to grow and sustain cells in culture, using cervical cancer tissue samples from numerous women admitted into Hopkins. Although these women’s tissues were being used, it’s very likely that most, if not all, had no idea their tissues and cells were being used. This was the case with Henrietta’s tissue samples. Labeled “HeLa” for the abbreviation of her name, Henrietta’s cells became the first human cells to grow successfully in culture, and soon became known around the world. Gey’s lab sent samples of these HeLa cells all across the globe, eventually leading to the standardization of the field of cell culture. The HeLa cells popularity quickly grew, and soon they were being mass produced, setting the foundation for many of the big biotech companies we have today. The cells use in studies and research led to many big steps in science...

...MIXED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE Dominique Lewis Anatomy & Physiology I | BIO1011 15 South University . Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) What’s considered to be an autoimmune disorder, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) is one of the most puzzling diseases due to its overlapping characteristics. These overlapping characteristics include the diseases systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, and polymyositis (http://lup.sagepub.com/content/15/3/132.short). Though the disease is somewhat unknown and presumably hereditary, the uncovered cause and criteria for diagnosis is linked through like antibodies and antigens (http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM197611182952101). MCTD affects numerous body systems i.e. skeletal, muscular, skeletal, digestive, and nervous (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases_conditions/hic_Mixed_Connective_Tissue_Disease). Treatment for this disease is patient specific depending on the severity of each case; while the medications prescribed are ailment specific, creating a huge risk of developing side effects due to contraindications and normal use. In diagnosing these side effects, one must first explore the history of MCTD. What is Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD)? In 1972 (Venables) Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) was first recognized for its overlapping features by its like or “mixed” similarities noticed in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of three autoimmune connective...

...zycote cell subdivides into many smaller cells through the process mitosis. Cells are made up of plasma membrane which encloses organelles. Orgnelles are small organs which have individual and specialised functions and are often enclosed in their own membrane within the cell. All cells with the exception of red blood cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is thelargest organelle and contains the body’s genetic material. Most damaged and dead cells can be replaced aged cells are programmed to self destruct. Cells are thebody’s smallest functional units, grouped toether they form Body tissue. There afre four main tissues in the body, epithelium, muscle, connective and nervous tissue. * Epithelium tissue functions – protects from the outside word (skin), it absorbs (stomach and intestinal lining), filters and secretes * Muscle tissue functions – responsible for body movement, moves blood, food and waste through the body’s organs, responsible for mechanical digestion * Connective tissue – wraps and cushions organs, stores nutrients, internal support for organs, protects joints and attached muscles, gives strength * Nervous tissue – conducts impulses to and from the body via neurons Water makes up around 60% of your body weight.

...others who choose to find hope in the midst of tragedy, literally giving of their own bodies in the effort to save others. Transplants aren’t miracle, but they do work- ideally, they are a stopgap measure until someone more permanent and effective can be developed. Fortunately, there does exist such a possibility on the horizon. Eventually, people may be able to simply have replacement organs grown from their own DNA, eliminating matters of procurement, distribution, and even organ rejection. But this will apparently require the use of embryonic stem cells developed with cloning technology, opening up a host of different ethical debates. Pros and Cons for Transplanting Organs Some Facts for selling of transplant organs are -Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, race, or medical history. –All major religions in the United States support organ, eye and tissue donation and see it as the final act of love and generosity toward others. –If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ, eye and tissue donation can only be considered after you are deceased. – When you are on the waiting list for an organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other important medical information, not you financial status or celebruty status.- An open casket funeral is possible for organ, eye and tissue donors. Though the entire donation process the body is treated with care, respect...

...better to fight off the disease you been exposure before. It has memory, antibody and T-cells. The real cell in our immune system we have is red blood cell (erythrocytes) carry out oxygen to the tissues. White blood cell (leukocytes) is mediated our immunity. So there are six types of white blood cell Granulocytes include Neutrophils,Basophils and Eosinophils. Agranulocyts include dendridic cell, monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes which is our (T-cells: B cells: Nk cells). The function of the Granulocytes is when Neutrophils, Eosinophils or Basophils are simulated what they do is take the granule and release them. The granule contains chemical like histamine it cause inflammation in your body. One of the common examples is Allergies. Phagocytosis is the phagocyte has to send out information there is something is foreign and part of the function of Granulocytes is when they release histamine and tell the phagocyte there is a problem in here and coming over to eat. Phagocytosis is something you do when you get infected with bacteria and you need to get rid of the bacteria but it is also something you do if you get a big bruise your own tissues is damage and you need to get rid of the damage tissues replace by the health tissues so the Phagocyte also can help to maintains your health tissues as...

...Regeneration Strayer University SCI 115 Spring 2015 May 8, 2015 Regeneration in biology refers to the process of renewing, restoring, and growing that makes cells, organisms, ecosystems and genomes resilient to damage. “Grow your own... heart, limb, or organ" is about research that is being conducted on the flatworm known as planaria. They have the ability to regrow their head or tail in as little as one week when damaged or cut off. Scientists are studying these worms in an effort to learn how to grow a new pancreas, new neurons, and other body parts. The researcher hopes this research will be an effective way to combat diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and many other diseases that plague human beings. "This promising possibilities of tissue regeneration are being explored in the labs of molecular biologists like Peter Reddien. Reddien's lab at MIT seeks to answer two fundamental questions about planarian regeneration. First: Which cells have the ability to regenerate tissue? And second: How are they instructed to do so" (Garcia, 2014)? Reddien and his group found that clonogenic neoblasts can give rise to new tissue. Clonogenic neoblasts are adult stem cells found in planaria bodies. Their bodies are loaded with these stem cells and are ready to regenerate promptly practically any missing body part. Reddien's lab is also studying how the planaria know which part to regenerate, the head or the tail. One of the researchers, Christian Petersen found that one particular...

...With the help of stem cells scientists make new biomedical discoveries everyday. Scientists are trying to identify how undifferentiated stem cells become the differentiated cells that form the tissues and organs. Finding out something like that could possibly help cure diseases. Also, stem cell research could cure burn victims. With the help of technology, scientists are able to to actually use one’s own stem cells an literally spray your skin on your burnt area. Stem cells can also help the medical world. Embryonic stem cells could be grown into more specialized cells for screening potential drugs to help other with illnesses. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), stem cells are being considered for a wide variety of medical procedures, ranging from cancer treatment to heart disease and cell-based therapies for tissue...

...units and their functions. The four basic human structure units are : * Cells * Tissues * Organs * Systems Cells : These are the basic structural unit of the body that maintain life. Every person consists of billions of cells that perform a infinite number of tasks in order to maintain the continuation of life. These live independently and can reproduce themselves. A cell also comes in different shapes and sizes depending on their function within the stability of life, for example, a mature red blood cell is less than 1mm in diameter and their function is to transport oxygen around the body. Tissues : Tissue is a collection of cells, not identical but a similar function, specialised to perform a specific function. Tissue comes in many different forms including blood, muscle, glands and bone(such as cartilage). These can also form nerve tissue to which are cells that specially conduct electrochemical nerve impulses throughout the body. Organs : All organs are formed when tissue combines with other forms of cells. This then gives you a structural unit, for example, a heart, that perform a specific function. Other examples of organs include the eye, liver, stomach, testis, uterus and kidneys all with their own particular function in sustaining life. Systems : System are cells, tissues and organs all working together to get a final outcome. For example, your digestive system needs a mouth, because without it the system is floored and no food etc. can...

...TISSUE STRUCTURE & FUNCTION There are 4 types of tissue in the body. Epithelial tissue covers the body, connective tissue is used for protection and support, muscle tissue (there are 4 different types) and then the nerve tissue which is used to send messages around the body. Epithelial Tissue It covers the whole surface of the body and it can be identified by one cell attached to another and is one cell thick or it sometimes has multi layers of thickness. Epithelial tissue protects the organs from damaging and also protects it from tension, it also protects the body from dirt, dust and bacteria and other things that may harm the body. There are 4 types of different epithelial tissue: pavement tissue, tessellated tissue, stratified tissue and ciliated/columnar tissue. Pavement tissue: has the appearance of thin, flat plates. It is normally found in the mouth, blood vessels and lungs, it makes up the outer layers of the skin and it is one cell thick. Tessellated tissue: they have wavy outlines because these cells line the blood vessels. Stratified tissue: has many layers of cells and the top cells are flat, it is all close together. Ciliated/columnar tissue: these cells occur with one or more layers and they are column shaped. They are the lining of the stomach and intestine but some of these are in the nose, ears and the taste buds of the tongue. The ciliated tissue is the same as columnar tissue the only difference is that it has thin, fine hair on the...

...Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause major damage to any organ or tissue in your body. Lupus causes your immune system to become unbalanced and is of unknown etiology. In Lupus the immune system is unable to differentiate between foreign and its own systems cells and tissues. It then produces antibodies that fight the body’s own tissues. Lupus is diagnosed in 90% of women between the ages of 14-44, this is more than the men, but it can affect children and younger teens. It is found in non-whites more than Caucasians (Womens Health 2009). Lupus is not contagious or related to cancer; it is not related to or like HIV (Human Immune Deficiency Virus) or even AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). It’s causes are unknown to researchers. Many researchers think its a over active immune system. The human body has many ways to identify cells. The bodies cells are marked by protein. That the immune system can either defend the body or allow the cell to live. To further understand autoimmune disorders, it is helpful to understand the workings of the immune system. The purpose of the immune system is to defend the body against attack by infectious microbes (e.g., bacteria, viruses, fungi) and foreign materials (e.g., chemicals, poisons). When the immune system attacks a foreign invader, it is very specific—a particular immune system cell will only recognize and target one type of invader. To function properly, the immune system must not only develop this...

...not a complex issue and not a matter of psychological experience but a matter of morality! Elective abortion kills human beings, for the most part chosen for convenience purposes only and strips the unborn human of its legacy to be dignified. Think one day your little sister/brother or your child walks behind you and asks “Can I kill this?” You cannot answer the question unless you have answered the prior question “What is it?” The issue in abortion leads to the question “What is the unborn?” Health physicians claim that it is “just a blob of tissue”. The research done in the University of Edinburgh revealed that there are specific procedures done to help a woman conceive a baby. This procedure is done through killing ten week developing baby girls in utero and harvesting the babies’ eggs from their ovaries and then implants it to the woman unable to conceive. This very significant finding of the unborn human is the exact unborn blob of tissue that abortion advocates pertains to! The ten week baby girls that said to be only just a small insignificant tissue in a woman’s womb yet are substantial in forcing motherhood. Scientifically, the Law of Biogenesis states that each living organism/ thing begets after its own kind. That is to say that two fish cannot reproduce a dog, nor can spiders breed a cow....
