Article Assignment
Summary
As far as I understood in this article there are some contradictions. There is a stem cell researcher named Steve Stice who has discovered a new way to use cells for protection on our national security. The only problem is that the new invention needs dead human embryos that last up to four months for the machine to detect the presence of chemical agents. A stem cell researcher collects cell that don’t have a function and uses it for something useful like Steve did with his idea.
This creation effects some people ethically because even though the embryos are dead some people think it isn’t good to use them for creations like the ones they have started. Steve to prevent this issue was using nerve cells from mouse embryos but the problem was that it would only last the machine to be useful for two weeks. So that caused for the invention of using human embryos that last longer than mouse embryos.
In my opinion our president George Bush is right by saying that destroying human embryos to extract stem cells crosses a moral line. I am totally against that if the embryos were force to be killed, but as far as I know there are a lot of people that having abortions. Instead of throwing them to the trash scientist are trying to make a use of unwanted embryos, I suggest. If people wouldn’t make as much abortions than there wouldn’t be ideas to use something that is being done. So its not the scientist fault is just the people that have the heart to abort their babies they are the ones we should be against.
Well in conclusion, This is a device is only helping out soldiers and Americans. Scientist are just trying to make use of embryos that are naturally dead. It effects people who are sensitive and that know that poor embryos that deserve to be buried are just used like some kind of chemical. Yeah I understand its wrong but in my opinion dose embryos are saving other lives on war so they are being useful for a good cause. Those embryos are heroes by protecting live people. So after all they came to heart for a reason I guess. That’s my opinion on these devices.

Eye Anatomy Worksheet
The eye is part of which nervous system?
Central Nervous System
What types of tissues give the eye protection?
The fatty and Connective tissue
What structure in the eye produces tears?
*Lacrimal Glands
What acts as an antibacterial layer in the eye?
Con juctiva
What is the cornea?
The outer protective layer of the eye, The anterior (front) portion of the sclera
What layer of the eye contains the rods and cones?
Retina layer
What is the function of the rods? The cones?
Cones- are for daylight vision and color vision
Rods- are for night vision
What is the colored part of the eye?
Iris
What structure allows light to enter the eye?
Pupil
Sketch picture of eye with following labeled:
O n a seperate piece of paper!!!
lacrimal glands, eyelashes, iris, pupil, cornea, lens, eyelid, sclera, choroids, optic nerve, and retina

Ear Anatomy Worksheet
Sketch a picture of an ear and label the following:
* On a separate piece of paper!!!! :)
Inner ear
middle ear
outer ear
pinna
tympanic membrane
cochlea
stapes
malleus
incus
What is the function of the following:
Pinna- Is a flap of cartilage which has the sole purpose of directing sound waves into the auditory canal.
tympanic membrane- Sound waves turn into sound vibrations.
Ossicles- (3 small bones) vibrates and then the ossicles magnify the sound vibrations.
Cochlea- the tiny hairs move as the fluid in the cochlea moves the hairs in turn stimulate nerve impulses to be sent to the brain by way of the auditory nerve.
semicircular canals- these canals deals with balance, the equilibrium of the body. They are filled with liquid and also have tiny hairs.
What three bones make up the ossicles?
Malleus
Incus
Stapes
What is the function of hairs in the ear?
* So the tiny hairs send nerve impulses to the brain by way of a nerve known as the vestibular nerve.

The Nervous System Worksheet
What does CNS and PNS stand for?
Central Nervous System- is the nerve center of the human body, controls all body activities except chemical functions
Peripheral Nervous System- lies outside the brain and spinal cord and serves as a message system between various organs and muscles of the body and the CNS. Connects the CNS with the rest of the body
What are the parts of the CNS?
* Consist of the brain and spinal cord and it controls thinking, memory and behavior.
Describe something that you do on a regular basis that your PNS controls.
* Maintain digestion and controls the urge to urinate.
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system and what does each control?
Sympathetic- controls stress, worry, fear and emergency
Parasympathetic- brings the body back to a normal state and allows for rest and relaxation to occur.
What are the three main types of neurons? Whh
at is the function of each?
Sensory neuron- It deals with the senses it takes the impulse towardsthe CNS to the spinal cord
Motor neuron- Carries the impulse from the CNS for an action
Interneuron- moves the impulse within the CNS.
What is the function of the axon of a nerve cell? The dendrite?
Axon- Is the sending end of a neuron
Dendrite- Is the receiving end of a neuron
What is a synapse?
Synapse- transfers the impulse from one neuron to another.
Sketch a neuron and label the axon and the dendrite.
