Anatomy Of Mammals
Anatomy Of Mammals Comes To Life Again
By Sam Malcolmson
In our bodies as every one knows we have organs. In the last about 60 number of years we have been able to start transplanting all the organs in our body to other recipients who have had trouble with theirs. An example of an organ that can be transplanted is your heart.
The first successful organ transplant was in 1954 and that was a kidney that was transplanted. That is incredible.
Organ transplantations can last for the rest of your life or it can last a very short time. The reason for this is that there can be complications from the surgery.
What type of complications? A complication can be as simple as an infection or rejection.
A transplantation of an organ can happen to anyone at any time. Some people may have an organ transplanted or some may go a life time without any organ problems.
An organ transplantation usually takes place at hospitals in which have the best medical team to suit the organ that is being transplanted. This would most likely to take place in a big hospital such as McMaster or St. Joseph’s hospital.
An organ that is donated can come form either a living donor are someone who has passed away.
Before a person can get an organ there is a process in which it has to go through to make sure it is a match. A couple steps of the process is tissues and blood need to be a perfect match. There are a few additional steps in which need to be taken.
If you would like to be an organ donor you can got to:

The most important, endurant learning point for unit 1 was the virus. This really stuck out for me because it showed me that even the smallest of flu’s can cause your whole system to go into an attack mode. The real life situation that made me understand this was when I was little I had strep throat in my eyes ears and throat.

This website helped me understand viruses a bit more because it helped me understand that although a virus might be really serious. It can cause you to die. It helped me understand that a virus can be a problem for plants, animals and humans. Some viruses consist of either protein, lipid or glycoprotein.

This website helped me understand viruses a bit more because it said that some viruses don’t have a membrane in which surrounds it. I learned that human viruses cannot grow in food. I never knew that a virus couldn’t grow in food. I never knew that a plant virus depended on a break in the cell wall in order for it to infect the plant.
Book
The Invisible Invaders
“Chapter 14” The virus that works backwords
In this chapter it states that “viruses can cause cancer”. I found this very interesting in the fact that I never knew that a virus could cause cancer. I enjoyed learning about this. I now understand that sometimes a virus can cause more bodily harm on you than good.
