Human Cloning Surrogate Mother
1,762 words
Twenty years from now, as you are walking around
the square in Wilkes Barre, you pass someone who
looks exactly like you. They have your same brown
eyes, round face, light brown hair, short stature,
and even the same dimples you possess. Can you
imagine the shock and even fright that may
accompany such a sighting? The world was
bewildered when the news that an adult mammal was
produced without any eggs being fertilized with
sperm. The results of Dolly surprised society and
the idea that human cl...

Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide Oxygen And Carbon Blood
374 words
Respiratory gases-oxygen and carbon dioxide moves
between air and blood in the lungs. The structure
of the human lung provides immense internal
surface that facilitates gas exchange between the
alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary
capillaries. Respiratory gases move between the
environment and the respiring tissues by two
principal mechanisms, convention and diffusion.
Convention is responsible for movement of air from
the environment into the lungs and also for the
movement of the blood betwe...

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer Human Cloning Research
2,325 words
Human cloning has become a hot topic for debate.
As we progressed one step closer to successfully
cloning and developing a human being, legislators
and the general public have become more concerned
about the ethical and moral implications of this
procedure. The federal government has been
unsuccessful in reaching an agreement as to what
policy to pass and enact. Thus, any current
legislation on human cloning has been developed
and enforced by individual states. The state of
California is one of ...

Nerve Impulses Emotional Pain
1,397 words
Every human being throughout history has felt pain
sometime in his life. The moment a newborn leaves
the womb, he is exposed to his first experiences
of light and sound; which is painful compared to
the cozy embryonic sac they have become accustomed
to. Everyone in the world has felt disappointed or
let down, which can also be painful. There are two
major types of pain in the world; physical pain
and emotional pain, which can be somewhat related
at times, and independent of each other at other

Skin Cancer Ultraviolet Radiation
1,554 words
Skin cancer is a disease that can affect any one.
Skin cancer includes many types that can be
classified as severe or superficial. Consequently,
treatment of skin cancer depends on the degree of
severity a person has. In the following paper, we
will shed lights on the types of skin cancer and
its causes. Finally, we will investigate how to
treat the different types of cancer and how to
avoid it. Skin cancer is a term used to describe
cancer in skin tissues. The skin is made of
several layers. Sk...

Risk Of Developing Breast Cancer
1,294 words
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is the most common
malignancy in women and the second leading cause
of cancerous death. The incident of breast cancer
has been increasing steadily from 1: 20 in 1960 to
1: 8 in women today. The American Cancer Society
estimates that 211, 000 new cases of invasive
breast cancer will be diagnosed this year and 43,
000 patients will die from disease. It is a
disfiguring and life threatening disease.
Moreover, many women do not even know until it is
too late that they have...

Human Cloning Stem Cells
789 words
Since I am majored in biology, I will mainly talk
about the topic of human cloning today. Four
billion years ago, life arose on the earth. Four
billion years later, human beings begin to look
into the secrets hidden in the genes, which are
the most delicate structure of life. A little over
a year ago, scientists completed the Human Genome
Project, which is one of the three most important
advances in scientific history. Cloning is the
major technique developed in the research of
genes. To clone m...

Studies Have Shown Blood Vessels
1,197 words
Biological regeneration has been studied over the
years, in salamanders, and biological imitations
of life. Through research on the mitotic
capabilities of certain animals, to the DNA and
hormones that make regeneration possible,
scientists are slowly finding a way so that humans
can regenerate lost or missing limbs, or grow
organs used to save millions of lives in the
future. Because being able to reproduce a limb or
body part is dependent on nerves, scientists have
found it vital to perform es...

Stem Cell Research Period Of Time

One of the most popular clinical studies being
researched these days is stem cell
transplantation. Until recently, moral issues of
states and countries haven't allowed research to
expound deeply into the unknowns. Within the last
ten years though, scientists have made leaps and
bounds in finding out concrete facts that this
stem cell research has supplied. Tommy G.

believe it will open up a world of opportunity for
scientists, not only at the NIH...

Somatic Cell Therapy Germ Line Therapy

Science is a creature that continues to evolve at
a much higher rate than the beings that gave it
birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to
ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical
engine, to calculator, to computer. But science,
in the past, has always remained distant. It has
allowed for advances in production,
transportation, and even entertainment, but never
in history will science be able to so deeply
affect our lives as genetic engineering will
undoubtedly do. With the b...

Hormones are organicHormi? one Introduction
Hormones are organic substances that are secreted
by plants and animals and that function in the
regulation of physiological activities and in
maintaining homeostasis. They carry out their
functions by evoking responses from specific
organs or tissues that are adapted to react to
minute quantities of them. The classical view of
hormones is that they are transmitted to their
targets in the bloodstream after discharge from
the glands that secrete them. T...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic
disorder of collagen synthesis associated with
broad spectrum of musculoskeletal problems, most
notably bowing and fractures of the extremities,
muscle weakness, laxity in the ligaments, and
spinal deformities. (Binder, 386). Other
collagen-containing skeletal tissues, such as the
scleral, the teeth, and the heart valves are also
affected to a variable degree. OI has a common
feature of bony fragility associated with
defective formation of collagen ...

Part Of The Body Massage Therapy

My discovery of massage therapy's healing powers
resulted directly from trying to break a friends
ribs. I was taking my first kickboxing class, and
Hugh, a two-year veteran of the sport, encouraged
me to try my roundhouse kick on him a bit faster
and harder. Who could pass up such an invitation?
Crouched down, I swelled my body and, with venom,
kicked the punching bag he was holding. It felt
good. Next I went for the kill, and connected so
high and fast that I ripped my hip muscles. That
was six...

Funk 038 Wagnalls Cancer Cells

Mitosis in cancerous cells Mitosis, the process in
which a cell undergoes nuclear division, is one of
the four subdivisions of the cell cycle
responsible for cell growth and reproduction. The
first step in mitosis is prophase. In prophase the
chromatin, diffuse in interphase, condenses into
chromosomes. Each chromosome duplicates and has
become two sister chromatids. At the end of
prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down into
vesicles. The following step in mitosis is
metaphase. During metapha...

Cancer Prostate Cancer Prostate Cancer Cancer of
the prostate, a common form of cancer, is a
disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are
found in the prostate. The prostate is on the male
sex glands, and is located just below the bladder
and in front of the rectum. The size of the
prostate is about the size of a walnut. It
surrounds the part of the urethra, the tube that
carries urine from the bladder to the outside of
the body. The prostate makes fluid that becomes
part of the semen, which co...
