Final Affirmation: A Human Approach To Biology

Biology has always intrigued me; that is why I took advanced biology courses every year during high school. I chose cardiology in particular for medical school because cardiac diseases run in both sides of my family. I have seen my grandmothers get pushed into the emergency rooms and I thought they were not going

Upon starting my freshman year in high school, I had been in honors Biology, and it quickly became my least favorite subject. Biology was something I couldn’t understand, no matter how much

Courses I have taken that are relevant to my career interests are biology, chemistry, Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, advanced genetics and applied biotechnology, and physiology. Biology and chemistry have provided me with a basic science background that is essential to understanding more advanced science courses. Human Body Systems and physiology have helped me to learn basic anatomy and physiology through hands-on activities like constructing organ systems out of clay and dissecting a cat. In addition, I learned how basic biomedical science knowledge and research methods in Principles of Biomedical Science and continued this

I have always had an interest in the human body and animal anatomy. I've studied it on my own with coloring books, online programs and thru home dissection kits. It is fascinating to learn the numerous ways our bodies function. I completed an anatomy and physiology course through our home school coop. I learned a lot of important information that will help me advance in my education and career.

Biology. Seven letters, one word. Biology initially was a course the state of Texas required me to take but as time progressed biology soon became my passion. Eventually over time, biology started to reflect in my everyday life and started to inspire me to scope more into the study. Biology became my calling and the key to the future I’ve always desired to obtain. Becoming a biology major in the University of Texas at Austin and obtaining a Human Biology degree with be the first step of many to being closer to becoming a successful physical therapist.

The study of biology is relevant now because it has everything to do with life and life is everywhere on Earth. We can use biology to keep that from changing. Biology has helped us grow food, protect the environment, tell us how the body works, and so much more. Thanks to biology viruses and diseases can also be controlled. Biology has advanced the world so much and without it everything would be completely different.

Photosynthesis, respiration, the classes of animals, what makes the human body work, how viruses work: all of these are so exciting in my eyes. Science is real and usable in daily life and interested me when it came to application. What to eat, why you think the way you do, what makes your body work, how the world goes round, all of these directly affect your life every day. The same can't be said for European history or learning German. I can't name one time I spoke German outside of high school. But biology studies things like how your body works and that is something that happens every day even if you are

A degree in human biology qualifies a person for a variety of jobs. This degree provides a foundation to pursue veterinary, dental, or medical school paths, in addition to positions in research and development, laboratory testing, instruction, production, and quality control. Human biology provides a broad base from which to draw upon. The occupation that interests me the most is physical therapy. Physical therapy interested me ever since I began getting involved in gyms. My first encounter with a trainer at a gym was when I got trained for an hour for a baseball camp to help protect your rotator cuff, that was the moment I realized I wouldn’t mind having a job similar to what the trainer had. I wanted a job where I could help people

When I graduated from high school I enrolled into Morgan State University and majored in biology. My fascination with microorganisms, the diseases that they cause

In today’s society biology helps us in many ways, from learning how we are made to finding treatments for diseases to learning about our heredity. For example, DNA is used today to find about our heredity. Its stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. DNA contain genetic information that has been passed down by parents onto their children for many generations. It is a unique blueprint that makes us alive and without it we wouldn’t be existing today. DNA is what makes us alive today and it’s our guide to life. Its job is to store genetic information and then pass down to our children and grandchildren. In simplifying the basic of DNA, it creates genes, further on genes make chromosomes which make up a cell in which we gain chromosomes from both parents (23 chromosomes from mom and 23 chromosomes from dad). It has also helped doctors and specialists how to keep individuals eat nutrition’s and stay healthy by preventing causing any danger to their health and fight off diseases that can develop. Today, biologist have come up with many solutions to prevent and reduce diseases that can harm people in the future, Because of biology, it has saved many people lives and also has helped live longer.

It is vital for someone that wants to become biologically literate to understand the knowledge, values, and ways of scientific questioning (Bybee & Uno, 1994). One must be prepared to learn about the history, development, of humans and their impact on the earth. Must establish personal ethics toward the importance of biology and science,

Biology is wide because it touches on all living things that are either animals or plants. This directly translates that its impacts is far reaching. Health is a fundamental aspect of human beings and man is constantly involved in coming up with methods that are going to maintain his health and counter emerging health challenges. One of the channels he has been using to achieve this is through use of biological

And it can help determine why these diseases occur or help find cures for the people that already have them. According to NYLN Youth Leaders Blog there has been test with genetic engineering “where there was a little boy who was born genetically engineered and they took the cells from his umbilical cord and transplanted them into his sister, who had Fanconi's Anemia, which is a disease that affects the bone marrow causing a decrease in all types of blood cells, and by using those cells they were able to save that little girl's life”. And by testing and learning more about genetics, scientist can find out ways to cure people and save their lives.

Since high school, I was really enjoyed biology. It helps me understand how the body system work and how ones live in a population. At undergraduate level, I have more variety of courses to choose from. That helped me know about different field of science and biology. So far, ecology and developmental biology are easy for me to understand but I’m more interested in cell biology and physiology. Cell biology today as told by my professor has undergo to include interdisciplinary such as biotechnology, chemistry and biology. From my cell biology courses, I learned how to use southern blotting to detect a specific DNA sequence, as well as other techniques that I think

But let's not start there, lets go back a little. It was my fourth year at Michigan Tech's Summer Youth Programs. This year I chose to take Medical Physiology. I wonder when I'm getting my degree, I comically thought to myself with a snicker. Medical Physiology was delightfully fun actually, learning about the different bones in our body and different systems. Although it was mostly a result of all the dissections we were doing. Which we were in the middle of one right now.
