The Human Body Is Constructed By Millions Of Cells

The purpose of this article is to inform the audience of new ways to help people with mental illnesses and explain some of the changes that happen in their brains. The author even mentions how free will might not even really exist. “What the lack of free will and the lack of free won’t have in common is the lack of “free” (Eagleman 10).” This is talking about the fact that what we consider free will now could just be something within our genes. Eagleman also talks about people developing mental illnesses that make them change and do things that they never did before.

Although a few abnormal behaviours are clearly caused by physiological factors (such as brain tumours or drugs), there is little evidence that most of the others (e.g. neuroses) are. Szasz suggests that the former should not be referred to as ‘mental illnesses’ but rather as ‘diseases of the brain’. Whereas the latter should not be referred to as ‘functioning mental illness’ (implying that they are physically based, but the precise physical cause has not yet been discovered) but rather as ‘problems in living ‘. In other words, such disorders are not illnesses but are the result of people’s problems in adapting to the environments they live in.

The biological model draws on traditional medicine and attempts to identify the presence of a ‘stable’ phenomenon called mental illness through scientific objectivity. One of the consequences of viewing

The medical model dismissed psychological explanations of mental illness, suggesting that such explanations were no better than demonology. In the mid-19th century, the prevailing belief was that all illness was caused by disordered physiology or brain chemistry. The search for psychological causes for mental illness, such as conflict, frustration, and emotional disturbance, was held back by the dominance of the medical model. This belief persists—explanations for alcoholism range from inheritance and other biological factors to life circumstances and a need to escape, exemplifying the contrast between the medical and psychological models (p. 502-03).

The general public increasingly attributes mental disorders to biological causes such as a chemical imbalance or inherited genes (Schnittker, 2008; Schomerus et al., 2012).

Nowadays there is a hot debate on what exactly causes mental illnesses. The two main suspects are society and genetics. Proponents of the genetics theory believe that there is a physical ailment of the brain which causes mental health issues. Those who support the society ideology believe that mental health is shaped by the society in which the person lives.

According to Ronald Comer, biological theorists view abnormal behavior as an illness brought about by malfunctioning parts of the brain. These malfunctioning parts can be brought around by a chemical imbalance as well as brain structure abnormalities. So, they tend to point the problem to the anatomy or the chemistry alone, adopting a purely medical perspective. The brain is made up of millions of tiny connections call synapse. In order for the biological process in the brain to work properly everything must be functioning perfectly. The brain runs on an all or none perspective, meaning if one small neuron isn’t firing properly, (the firing of the neurons is how the brain is charged to function) the neuron will die and stop working. This is the chemical outlook of mental illness, that mental illness could possibly be brought around by the misfiring of neurons, or the complete failure to fire that neuronal death could cause.

In his article “The Myth of Mental Illness”, Thomas Szasz argues that the concept of mental illness is a myth. Szasz argues that mental illness is a vague term used to label problems with the mind. However, according to modern science and anatomy, there is not actual mind per se. Instead, humans have a brain, therefore every diagnostic of mental illness is actually referring to problems with the brain. Szasz states that there is an ongoing false believe that mental illness is some sort of disease or infection entity.

Both psychology and religion try to explain what it means to be human. Some Christians and some psychologists do view themselves as 'enemies.' These extremes are represented in Christian 'combatants' who view all of secular culture as suspicious and militant atheists who see all religions as superstation. But even the American Psychological Association demands that therapists honor and respect their patient's religious beliefs (Entwistle 2010: 137).Moreover, Christianity was at the forefront of even the earliest movements to provide care for mentally ill people (Entwistle 2010: 37).

Our complicated body system are made up to trillion of living cells. Each part of the body has its own specialized cells and functions to corroborate with your body. Everyday, our body are constantly making new cells to replace injured and worn out cells so that it can allow the body to function normally. These new cells are made through the division of one cell into two through the process called mitosis. During the process of cell production, it is important to have cell correctly or properly divided. If anything goes wrong during this complicated process, the result of cell becomes cancerous.

The movie A Beautiful Mind is one that offers psychologists with a lot of fodder to think about and its storyline brings out various aspects of psychology that can be analyzed to bring a more conclusive close to this debate. The thesis statement of this essay is that psychological disorders need to be understood independently of various factors such as biological and environmental factors. This is because the world of psychology has always tried to attach the above factors to various psychological disorders but I strongly feel that psychological disorders need to be understood and analyzed independently so as a true and deeper understanding of these disorders comes to the fore. The movie A Beautiful Mind is about a genius mathematician Nash who has a psychological disorder, which is later diagnosed to be paranoid schizophrenia. The effects of this disorder are evident in the movie and the essay tries to see how the need to study psychological disorders independently could be helpful in helping various examples of cases such as that of John Forbes Nash.

Have you ever wondered how are cells reproducing? It is amazing how all living things are made up of cells, for example, humans have cells, animals, and even plants have cells. I think if cells did not exist, none of the organisms would be alive. Most cells are too tiny and you have to use a microscope to see them, and not all of them look the same. The human body has trillions of cells. We have a lot of different cells in our bodies. There is bone cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, etc. Every single part of our bodies has a lot of cells. Cells give our body energy and the cells divide to form new cells. When a cell forms the two new cells they are called daughter cells, and the original cell is called the parent cell.

Kidneys are one of the most essential organs in a human body which are crucial for blood filtration, toxins, and waste removal and maintaining and regulating the body’s pH. The researchers created kidney structures from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) called organoids which have the function and structural organization of a human fetal kidney in the first trimester. This study used the results of a previous study where human embryonic stem cells were differentiated towards a renal lineage. As a result, the progenitors for both collecting ducts and nephrons were generated from iPS. In that study, the researchers found out that although both nephrons and collecting ducts originate from the intermediate mesoderm layer, they develop at a different specific time and area from the mesoderm layer. The intermediate mesoderm layer is a germ layer arising from the mesoderm, and it is important in the development of kidneys, reproductive system, and lower urinary tract of the embryo. Thus, the scientists exploited this temporospatial origin difference, and they identified the regulating mechanism behind what caused the induction of collecting duct versus other kidney progenitors like the nephrons for instance. As a result of this finding, kidney organoids were formed which were segmented into distal and proximal tubules, loops of Henle, glomeruli, and podocytes which establish a vascularization network. This study is important in near future because it can be used as a model for

The stability of the mind is uncertain in the medical field. Even though researches about how the mind works has helped us developed a better understanding about the human mind and its behavior, they have failed to give us a complete and knowledgeable concrete answer to all the questions of its deep studies. The human mind is still a very abroad subject to medicine. What makes a mind stable and what triggers mental illnesses is a question that will still be unknown to the medical field for more years to come. The understanding of the mind is a quest that has started since the beginning of human civilization and it has not stopped. The mind is an organ of its own, and it develops its own unique style of evolution through time. It is a very small organ that is responsible for the function of the human body. All our functions come from there, the way we speak, think and behave. As all other organs, it also has its own illnesses that for many centuries we have tried to understand. The illness of the mind still has no cure and what science has found only contributes to the temporary solution, but not the cure of the illness. One of the most severe forms of mental illness is Schizophrenia. This illness has tormented people since the beginning of history. Schizophrenia, the illness that is still very mysterious to medicine; the symptoms, the cause, diagnosis, types of schizophrenia and the medication are not the solutions for a lasting illness.

Our cells are the building blocks of our body. With them we are able to fight off infections, diseases and heal us when we are damaged. Like all things our cells are also the base for some of mankind’s worst disease like cancer. But if we are able to getter a better grasp of what our cells are, how they act and why. We might one day be able cure diseases before they begin.
