The four quadrants that divide the abdomen are the right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant and left lower quadrant.

For years now, I’ve had dreams of going to medical school and becoming a surgeon. I don’t know what kind of surgeon I would want to be, but cardiothoracic is up there. In my eighth-grade science class we dissected pig’s hearts and a kid’s dad, a heart surgeon, helped. He told me I had the hands of a surgeon, which I thought was incredible considering my aspirations. Not only did this article interest me because I have general knowledge on the workings of a heart, but also because it shows the process of cleaning up mistakes in a medical

I’ve explored these connections in several extracurricular programs relating to art history as well as science and technology. At the American Museum of Natural History, while taking science research courses in astrology and the structure of our universe, I couldn’t help noticing the artistic beauty inherent in the multiple color composites in the solar system that we analyzed. Similarly, at my internship at the Rubin Museum of Art, where I discovered Southeast Asian art and created computer-generated mandalas, I saw spatial patterns and various geometric sequences in the artwork. When I see these connections I get very excited because, honestly, it all makes sense! Art and science are not mutually exclusive concepts; rather, I think the line between the sciences and arts is

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.

Gabrielle Knappenberger, 18, recently five of her art works from Drawing-1 with Dr. Terrence Mckelvey published and hung up on the second floor walls of Hamilton Hall. The five pieces of art that is published consists of a figure drawing that took 1-3 minutes to complete, a one 1-point perspective that took part of class, two 2-point perspectives, and an 3 contour drawing on one picture of her feet. Gabrielle’s favorite drawing out of the five is the contour drawing of her feet because it has more detail and it took more time unlike the simple gestures.

When I was in seventh grade I was constantly drawing eyes; all of my papers and all of my notebooks were littered with them, in all different shapes and colors. When I graduated from middle school to high school, my affinity for eyes expanded to a love of human features in general. For as long as I can remember I've been inspired by all the different shapes, sizes, colors, and features people have, however, I never realized this until I began to express it through art.

As stated, this project was executed solely for the purpose of learning and exploring. Because of all the intricacy within the thin cross section cuts and the detailed CT and MRI scans, the digital format of the project is extremely detailed and educational. Some big achievements obtained through this project have been critiques on prostate surgery for men with prostate cancer (Grady). The images shown from the VHP allow surgeons to see tricky nerves and muscles within the body, resulting in less drastic measures for surgery. Another finding is the discovery of an unnamed/undocumented facial muscle. The project also benefits high school and college teachers and students teaching or taking anatomy classes. It’s very beneficial to these people because the files are free and able to be accessed by anyone, and the information that they hold very well furthers the education and learning experience of young people hoping to learn more about human anatomy. It is plain to see that this project is so great for many people who desire new knowledge about the human

Because their study took place in the arts category, their words and style had to be chosen carefully as not to stifle creativity. One-hundred eighty pages of notes were taken over

In writing this report I hope to find out how Leonardo Da Vinci, contributed to the medical world. What he did that may have helped us in Madison today? "Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452 in Vinci, Italy during a time known as the Renaissance" (Cool Kid Facts), he was born out of wedlock the son of Sir Piero from Vinci. Not much is known about Da Vinci's youth. He spent his first five-years in Tuscany near Florence, after that he lived in the household of his father, and grandparents. His father San Pierro, married a number of different times only to end in divorce, but he finally met and married a lady from a wealthy family where 5-year old Da Vinci was a welcome addition. As a child Da Vinci was very smart with a big talent for arithmetic as well as singing. His early schooling was done at home in Vinci, where he lived on a big estate with his new stepmother, his father, and several of his brothers and sisters, and his Uncle Francesco, who was a farmer and nature lover. Young Da Vinci spent a great deal of time with his uncle working outdoors and drawing. When Da Vinci was just a young teen he began a long apprenticeship with the artist Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence, There "he learned a

The Classical period of Ancient Greece produced some of the most beautiful and intensely felt sculptures ever. The sculptures of this time period are characterized by a freedom of movement and a freedom of expression. Of the many notable works there is one that every college student should understand, the Discobolus by Myron, or the Discus Thrower. This sculpture celebrates the style of the time period like no other. “The best example showing freedom of movement is the Discobolos (The Discus Thrower) by Myron in the Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome.”

In (a)-(e), a directional term is followed by elbow/wrist. In each case, choose the structures or locations. In each case, choose the structure or organ that matches

During my volunteering at Bellevue hospital in the department of internal medicine, I was able to observe a team of PAs and an attending doctor intimately. Although everyone worked together and managed an entire floor of patients, I noticed that the PAs regularly assessed and did frequent check ups on patients and worked hard in learning more about them as an individual. They knew their patients by name and offered a personal touch that seemed to put them at ease and facilitate communication. There was an old Chinese patient who spoke a rare dialect that I understood, and I was able to help translate his care management. I hope to one day meet

Dr. Harvey Cushing used illustrations to document his patients and their disease, to record operative procedures and pathology. In his illustrations, one could see the clear reasoning and precise courses of action used by the neurosurgeon. He went into detail and never failed to keep a collection of his drawings which was later incorporated into his registry. Cushing's medical illustration displayed a sense of understanding and careful examination. With his drawings, he showed the medical community that using illustration to document surgical operation and procedures was an effective way towards outlining the steps and motives than written documents alone. During his time spent in Hopkins, Cushing drew many medical illustrations that were published

Enclosed please find my application for Anatomy Instructor at Jacobs School of Medicine and Anatomical Science. I feel confident that I would be an ideal addition to the teaching faculty at the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, as you will observe that my experiences, researches and future plans are highly compatible with a number of your current faculty members. Moreover, I am presently enrolled in masters in Anatomical Science program, which further polished my teaching skills by incorporating a thesis project, graduate course-work, a teaching practicum, anatomical specimen preparation and dissection techniques. My colleagues and I are presented with a number of far-ranging opportunities from learning how to use an electron
