The And Its Effects On The Human Body

Planarians are hermaphrodites and have both the male and female organs but they are reproduced by asexual reproduction – known as fission (Fernandez, 2016). They are commonly in freshwater streams and ponds (Collines, 2007). They are carnivorous, feeding on living and

This article studies the ability of regeneration possessed by the planaria. Morgan (1898) observes in different methods how the planaria are cut into smaller pieces, and then he observes the pieces to see if the planaria will regenerate. When the planaria are cut near the head, the pieces do not appear to regenerate, and the pieces cut too small also do not possess the ability to regenerate (Morgan, 1898). Pieces cut from the middle and the end piece of the planaria, however, have shown results of respawning from within the old tissue. When the author tried to fuse two sampled pieces together, he observed that the pieces formed a union (Morgan, 1898). However, the fusion did not last long, and the pieces died long after fusing together (Morgan, 1898). It is likely that the samples were not able to complete the regeneration after the union emerged. I will be able to use this report for my lab report as a reference to the process of taking samples from a live planaria, sampled from the likely

The planaria regenerated due to the huge amounts of stem cells in its body. The stem cells were able to help the planaria regenerate a head and grow to its original size. If the planaria did not have any stem cells, it would not have been able to regenerate and would have died after being its head was cut off. An experimental error that occurred was that one of the planaria died due to living conditions and was not able to completely

Gerty Theresa Cori was a biochemist born in Prague,and at age 16 she decided she wanted to be a medical doctor,later on after years of study,she was known for being the third woman and the first American woman to win a Nobel prize in science.During her time and age women were often criticized for being scientists and women at the time were offered little opportunities involving education, but,Gerty got accepted to a medical school (German University of Prague) where she met her husband Carl Ferdinand Cori.After their graduation from medical school they decided to get married however, due to the horrible conditions in Europe at the time,they decided to emigrate to the United States in 1922.During their time in the U.S.,they still continued their study in medical research.Although Gerty had more difficulty obtaining research positions (which gave her little pay) she continued working on her passion.

Planarians are one of the most simplest organisms out there in the world, and they have a stunning ability, regeneration. These flatworms are bi-directionally regenerating

Cell proliferation in planarians carried out through the formation of the blastema regeneration and proliferating, having to require steps, mitosis and migration, to active area of planarian regeneration. Interactions between pre-existing and regenerated tissues distinguish the positional identities of tissues due to the origin of influence. Not all planarian species display morphallaxis pattern therefore not all triclad planarians such as, free-living flatworms with the characteristics of having three branches. D. lugubris species display relationship between pre-existing tissues and the blastema, forming new structures or having old structure be remodeled within pre-existing tissue. Studying planarians have hinted that organ system and cell type regulation that occur are produce d in proper proportions, developing the result defining that proportion of specific tissues in planarians models and their cell numbers correspond to each

The concept of regeneration is an interest to many researchers. Regeneration is the ability/process of re-growing lost process. This process if of much interest too many researchers is because only a few selected organisms can undergo this process. The process of regeneration takes a large amount of energy to withstand and this becomes problematic for multicellular organisms. The complexity of multicellularity is contradictory to regeneration and that’s why humans cannot undergo regeneration. However, Planarians which are a group of free-living flat worms, can undergo regeneration. This is supported by the fact that Planarians’ have a simpler and the ability to form a blastema. A blastema is an accumulation of undifferentiated cells, at the

Planarians are a kind of flatworm that don’t have specific cellular differentiation. So, they are able to regenerate when almost anything happens to them. This leads to the question, “At which point does cellular differentiation allow organisms to function?” We hypothesized that cellular differentiation is not necessary for organism survival. To test our hypothesis, we cut the planarians into four different sections to see if each part will grow into a new planarian. The head of the planarian was excluded, but each of the other sections were placed into separate petri dishes filled with water to observe and see if they re-grow and begin reacting to their environment again. This experiment will help us understand whether cellular differentiation

Planarians are non-parasitic flatworms in the Platyhelminthes phylum. They are free-living and are commonly found freshwater habitats however, they can also be found in marine and terrestrial environments. Planarians’ nervous systems consists of a brain and of large ganglia in which two nerve cords go throughout the body and between those nerves they have transverse nerves. The Planaria have two “eyes” which have photoreceptors help them respond to light stimuli. They also have pits containing chemoreceptors that respond to chemical stimuli. These worms have multi-branched gastrointestinal systems that allow for digestion and the movement of nutrients throughout their bodies. Planarians ingest food and excrete waste only one cavity:

Introduction: Many model organisms have been used in order to advance human medicine. The primary one being the lab mouse, but there are several other different species that give rise to advancements in human treatment. Planaria and axolotls have been a prominent source of how signaling mechanisms work in order to regenerate parts in eukaryotic organisms. If researchers can figure out how to turn these signaling pathways on in the conserved regeneration part of the human genome, then doctors will likely be able to use this to their advantage. This can be achieved by manipulating human signaling pathways to regenerate tissues within the heart, lungs, nervous system, and even systems with multiple tissue types like the limbs. This is where the study of axolotls comes in.

From the dawn of time, the primitive beings that wandered the face of this earth have always been fascinated and curious about the perplexing human body. They have pondered upon the mysteries that lie dormant within the vessel and the potential of what it could do. Even today, after millions of years have passed, anatomists still have yet to explore the human body completely and uncover all its complexity. Along with the advancement of our knowledge in terms of anatomy and physiology, the concept of health has also evolved. In fact, the human body and health go together like peanut butter and jelly; you cannot have one without the other. Unlike the approved definition used in the past, health is much more than the “absence of disease” and having a fit body. This paper will present you my rendition of the definition of health and my personal reflections on the health-related readings presented in this course so far.
