When your lab report is complete, submit this document to your instructor in your assignment box. 1. Endocrine System Question 1: How does the insulin and glucagon secreted by the pancreas function in glucose metabolism? Answer 1: Insulin and Glucagon work in tandem to keep the glucose levels in the blood within the normal range. If someone if experiencing high blood sugar levels, the pancreas will begin to secrete insulin by way of the beta cells. As this is happening the liver will take up the glucose and store it as glycogen. Now in the reverse, if a person is suffering from hypoglycemia and has low blood sugar, the alpha cells located inside of the pancreas will begin to produce glucagon. This substance will be sent to the liver and begins the process of converting glucagon to glucose. 2. Cardiovascular System Blood flows through the body in two distinct pathways: the pulmonary pathway and the systemic pathway. The blood flowing in the pulmonary pathway is deoxygenated, and it delivers this blood to the...

...want to conduct research in the area of tissue engineering, which primarily exists in the realm of research, and for that I need a Ph. D. A master's degree is a step on the way to earning a Ph. D. I am particularly interested in engineering of cardiovascular tissue. Specific research topics that I am hoping to work on include the creation of 3D scaffolds, the influence of mechanical forces on the differentiation of cardiac tissue, and the study of cytokines in the differentiation of cardiac tissue. I hope that one day it will be possible to grow whole hearts from a patients' own cells to replace their damaged or diseased hearts. This could effectively eliminate organ transplant waitlists for hearts. My interest in biomedical engineering over other science related fields stems from the fact that my mother is a nurse and my father was a lab technician while he was in the military. Sometimes he would take me to his work and I could see how the lab was set up. He would let me look through the microscopes and sometimes explain what he was doing. He would often tell me that he was surprised that I actually understood most of what he told me. Before attending UT, I earned a biotechnology certificate at Temple College. During the program I gained hands-on experience in many...

When your lab report is complete, submit this document to your instructor in your assignment box. 1. Endocrine System Question 1: How does the insulin and glucagon secreted by the pancreas function in glucose metabolism? Answer 1: “Insulin and glucagon work together to keep glucose levels in the blood within the normal range. When there is an elevated blood glucose level, this stimulates beta cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin. The insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose by body cells, and the liver will uptake the glucose and store it as glycogen. These actions return blood glucose levels back to normal. When there is decreased blood glucose, this stimulates the alpha cells in the pancreas to produce glucagon. The glucagon travels to the liver and facilitates the conversion of glycogen to glucose. This glucose is released in the bloodstream to return levels back to normal.” (M.U.S.E.) 2. Cardiovascular System Blood flows through the body in two distinct pathways: the pulmonary pathway...

...UTAR FHSC1214 Fundamentals of Cell Biology Trimester 1 How YOU can do well in BIOLOGY Follow the 4A’s and you can expect A’s. A ttitude • Attend ALL lectures, tutorials and practicals on time without fail. • Be attentive in class and revise your notes after class while the topic is still fresh in your mind. Why waste time re-reading 2-3 months later? • Do your assignments faithfully as they carry marks for the finals. • Come prepared for lessons (i.e. read up beforehand). • Read up beforehand before attending lectures so that you won’t be lost and wasted hours of your life week after week. • Why stress yourself out if you can avoid it? Do NOT count on last minute revision for tests and examinations, as it will be too late to catch up and seek help in areas where you may find confusing or unclear of. • Why panic before exams because you can’t find this or that? Keep separate files for lecture, tutorial and practical. File up the respective notes systematically so that you do not lose them along the semester. • Do you expect the lecturer/ tutor to be available all the time to answer your questions? It is YOUR responsibility to take the initiative to clear your doubts or satisfy your curiosity to understand certain scientific phenomena by reading up on the relevant topics.

...NUTRITION 121 HUMAN NUTRITION LABORATORY BACKGROUND AND METHODS MODULE #1 BODY COMPOSITION Late Labs: 10 point deduction! A report submitted >1 week late, will receive 0 points for the lab!! Written and edited by: Karon Felten and Nutrition 121 TA’s With Special Thanks to: Chris Pritsos Ph.D. Nutrition Department Chairman ABSTRACT: In nutrition, there are many factors that influence an individual’s health and body weight, such as heredity, food selection, eating behaviors, and physical activity. Scale weight is not always a good indicator of body fat, lean mass, body water or overall health (1). This laboratory experience will give students the opportunity to conduct physical assessments by evaluating body weight and body composition. To determine body weight and body composition, techniques such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, wrist circumference for determining frame size, and a scale will be utilized. Students will also evaluate their own risk for cardiovascular disease and assess cardiovascular health in volunteers by measuring heart rate, filling out a heart disease risk score form, and estimating oxygen consumption and energy expenditure through a technique known as the Queens College Three-Minute Step Test. BACKGROUND: Your body is made up of the six essential nutrients: water, fat, protein, carbohydrates and various vitamins and minerals. Many factors can influence an individual’s...

PT test is done at NDT ILSAS Lab in order to detect surface breaking defects in non porous material such as metals and plastics. PT test is also widely applied since it is a low-cost inspection method. The technique used is based on the ability of a liquid to be drawn into a "clean" surface breaking flaw by capillary action. There are two ways in which PT test makes the flaws in a material to be seen clearly. One of the ways is PT test produces flaw indication which is larger and can be seen clearly from the eye. Many flaws are too small or too...

...Stem Cell Research: A Road to Recovery Lisa Wainwright Kaplan University CM220 Stem Cell Research “Recent studies suggest these cells may hold the secret to treatment — even cures — for some of our most baffling diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.” (Reaves, 2001) With constant development in science and medicine, it was only a matter of time before scientists and doctors would be on the verge of finding cures for diseases that people everywhere have been waiting for. Stem cell research began around 1981, when scientists discovered controllability in the development of mouse embryos; however, it wasn’t until 1998 that scientists discovered how to originate human stem cells from embryos and cultivate them in a lab. (U.S. Department, 2009) President Barak Obama signed Executive Order 135005, “Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells,” on March 9, 2009. Section 1, Policy, reads, “Research involving human embryonic stem cells and human non-embryonic stem cells has the potential to lead to better understanding and treatment of many disabling diseases and conditions. Advances over the past decade in this promising scientific field have been encouraging, leading to broad agreement in the scientific community that the research should be supported by Federal funds…. including human embryonic stem cell research, to the extent permitted by law.” (Obama, 2009) There are those who argue that stem cell research should be limited...
