body that does not discriminate against anyone. This common disorder can develop at the beginning of puberty during childhood stages and can progress to more serious problem as the child grows. According to Medline Plus, scoliosis can be legally defined as being a sideways or lateral or “S” shaped curve of the spine also known as your backbone that is part of the skeletal system whose cause is unknown (Mayo Clinic). It is a spinal disorder that can be affected by any individual’s growth process at

Plasma membrane: The plasma membrane controls how substances move in and out of the cell. The cell membrane contains phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates. These are arranged in a fluid mosaic structure. Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is everything that is outside the nucleus and inside of the cell membrane. The fibre network helps maintain its shape and gives it support. Nucleus: Nucleus contains the DNA and is like a brain Ribosome: Ribosomes contain and give out the protein. They connect

Digestive System Digestive system refers to the group of organs that break down food and absorb the nutrients used by the body for fuel and to excrete waste products. Smokeless tobacco products allow tobacco to be absorbed by the digestive system or thorough mucous membranes. Obesity Obesity is the condition of being more overweight than what is considered average or healthy. Researchers have identified an enzyme that could hold the key to reducing obesity. Circulatory System Circulatory system refers

The Skeletal System The Skeletal System is a very important part of your body and without it you would be a huge blob of skin and organs and tissues. It would actually be pretty gross. Without your bones you wouldn’t be able to walk, or write, or talk, or anything else. When you are born, you have about 300 bones made of mostly cartilage. Cartilage is a soft "mushy" substance that acts as a pad. As you reach adulthood the cartilage turns to bone, and some of your baby bones join together to form

Research project # 40904000 Muscular Dystrophy Definition Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of more than 30 genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles used during voluntary movement. The word dystrophy is derived from the Greek dys, which means "difficult" or "faulty," and troph, or "nourish." These disorders vary in age of onset, severity, and pattern of affected muscles. All forms of MD grow worse as muscles progressively degenerate and

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchene Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that is distinguished by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. This genetic disorder is cause by an absence of Dystrophin . The onset of symptoms begin early in childhood between the age of three and five. This disease primarily affects males, but in some rare cases it has also affected females. What are the symptoms? As early as three the signs of muscle weakness begin to appear. The first muscles to be affected

mood disorders are thought to be directly related to imbalances with neurotransmitters. The four major neurotransmitters that regulate mood are Serotonin, Dopamine, GABA and Norepinephrine. The Inhibitory System is the brains braking system, it prevents the signal from continuing. The inhibitory system slows things down. Serotonin and GABA are examples of inhibitory neurotransmitters. GABA (Gamma amino butyric acid) GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

ANATOMY: Skeletal System is comprised of 206 individual bones in an adult human. The bones of Skeletal System are divided into two type i.e. * Axial Skeleton * Appendicular Skeleton Axial skeleton of the body contains 80 bones in the following regions. * Skull: Except for Mandible (lower jaw) it has 22 bones fused together. * Hyoid: It is the only bone not forming a joint with any other bone. It lies inferior to the Mandible. * Auditory Ossicles: Malleus, Incus and Stapes

Cellular Pathophysiology Huntington’s disease causes many changes in the immune system and the inflammatory response. According to Ellrich, Reick, Saft and Linker (2013), “increased inflammation in HD might be the response to neuronal death induced by mhtt toxicity” (para. 10). The immune system initiates the inflammatory response that is seen in Huntington’s disease. The exact impact of the innate and adaptive immune system is unknown in Huntington’s disease (Ellrichmann, Reick, Saft and Linker,
