A mink is a good specimen to study the human anatomy because it is so closely related in internal features to that of a human being. Since these features are so closely related it provides a sort of “model” that can be used in order to better understand the anatomy of humans.

Dr. Fox is an emergency physician at UCI Medical Center, treating and diagnosing patients using an ultrasound. His scope of research involves looking at patients’ internal organs via ultrasound, which is much quicker and less harmful than using x-ray scans that are traditionally used in emergency departments. He is also a part of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (“Faculty and Staff”). Dr. Fox is also a director of instructional ultrasound and is the assistant dean at the UCI School of Medicine (“John Christian Fox”). He started an ultrasound rotation at the UCI School of Medicine, and with a grant given by SonoSite, Inc., the ultrasound curriculum is now embedded within the UCI School of Medicine curriculum (“Faculty and Staff”). He went to Tufts University School of Medicine, receiving his MD in 1997 (“John Christian Fox”). His main research focus is to try to incorporate ultrasound more into the emergency department, and tries to find revolutionary ways to utilize ultrasound, especially because it is very cost-efficient and images are seen real-time, unlike MRI scans or x-rays, which can emit harmful radiation or results take much longer to acquire. Eric Viquez is one of the Bio 199/EMRAP (Emergency Medicine Research Associates Program) students in Dr. Fox’s ultrasound lab. He is currently a 4th year undergraduate biological sciences major who is going to medical school in the fall; he shadows shifts with Dr. Fox and

The melanocytes synthesize melanin (dark brown/reddish pigment). They are in the deepest layer of the epidermis, the stratum basale. The melanocytes are located on the superficial part of the nucleus of the keratinocytes. The help protect the keratinocytes and the rest of the cells by shielding and absorbing the UV radiation, forming the color. For those who have darker skin there is more melanin produced from these melanocytes. The melanosomes (granules) which are transported along the actin filaments is where the melanin accumulates.

As an early years practitioner it is your job to ensure that you meet children’s learning needs and understand and work with all children’s learning needs. It is important that you provide different kinds of opportunities also focus on individual children’s learning needs each and every child is unique and all learn at different rates. When in a setting it is important that you plan an enabling environment that children will find challenging but will allow them to learn in different areas.

Throughout my years as a childcare practitioner, I have accumulated a wide range of experience working with children aged 3 – 11. However, the majority of my experience is with children aged 3-5. Through

Transverse fracture when the break occurs across the shorter part of the bone, rather than down the length of the bone

Through working with 0-2 year olds it has provided me with opportunities and experience to acknowledge children’s needs by finding ways to communicate through body language. By having opportunities to extend by knowledge via different courses has allowed me to extend my knowledge. Although I have gained a

A practitioner’s role in meeting children’s learning needs are to understand and work with each and every child’s learning needs. They can do this by providing different opportunities to individual children because each child is unique and learns differently. The practitioners’ role would therefore be to plan and resource an environment that is challenging and helps children learn in many different areas of their learning.

data; his writings contain some basic anatomy. There are planes and sections in our body. First is the Sagittal Section. It divides the body into the left and right sides; Mid-Sagittal Section is a straight down the center of the body. Frontal Section divides the body into front and back sides. Transverse (Cross) Section is the cut straight across the body. Anatomy is always linked to physiology, the study of how biological processes function in living organisms. Living anatomy is the observation of the living body at rest or in action. This has both drawback and plus points. Our own bodies are always available to see and feel. Abduction is a movement of any part away from the midline in the coronal plain. Adduction is return to the midline
