Neuroscience For Kids - Explore the nervous system
Colorfully explores neuroanatomy by describing key structures and functions of
the brain.
Let's break the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system into more parts
Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) The central nervous system is divided into two parts: the brain and the spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System The peripheral nervous system is divided into two major parts: the somatic nervous system and the
Autonomic Nervous System The is divided into three parts: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system

The market for body parts in the US is an estimated $6 billion per year
On 8 December 1998 the go-ahead was given in the UK for the cloning of human embryos for the production of human body parts
Even were all the technical problems to be solved, there to be an unlimited supply of parts, it has been estimated by Richard Nicholson, editor of the Bulletin of Medical Ethics, that life expectancy would be extended by 0.003% (less than a day in a lifetime), the use of xenotransplants would extend life expectancy by 0.02%

Science and Human Values - Aristotle
Article by Prof. Fred L. Wilson of the Rochester Institute of Technology on
Aristotle's impact on the history and philosophy of science.
In any case Aristotle found it expedient to set out upon a journey that carried him to various parts of the Greek world, particularly to Asia Minor
He was particularly interested in sea life and observed that the dolphin brought forth its young alive and nourished the fetus by means of a special organ called a placenta
Nineteen centuries were to pass before Alpini was to correct this particular error
This was not mere perversity on their part, for the state of instrumentation was rudimentary indeed in ancient times and there were few clear methods of making accurate measurements
In particular, they could not measure small intervals of time accurately, a deficiency that was to remain for two thousand years until the time of Huygens
After the fall of Rome, his work was largely lost to Europe (only Organon , his work on logic, was saved) while Plato's works were, for the most part, retained
He was convinced that the universe was supremely a living being both in its entirety and in its parts
For proof, one of the arguments refers to the case of living beings, to human consciousness and animal behavior in particular

Though he declines to reveal the chip'smanufacturer, Warwick did disclose that it's a 'commercial' product.'For obvious reasons, both positive and negative, they didn't want usshouting about what the name of the exact product was, ' he says

CNN.com - UCLA suspends its Willed Body Program - Mar 9, 2004
[CNN]
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Top officials at UCLA Tuesday voluntarily suspended the university's Willed Body Program after accusations that its director and others sold body parts for profit, a lawyer for the school said
The order was issued one day after a class-action lawsuit was filed by families of donors who allege parts of their loved ones' remains were illegally sold for profit
Allegations and arrests Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, meanwhile, said one of its subsidiaries purchased human tissue from a middleman authorities accuse of obtaining body parts from the program's director
The Willed Body Program's director, Henry Reid, was arrested Saturday "for illegal activities involving the commercialization of human remains, " or selling body parts, authorities said
Reid, 54, is alleged to have sold the parts to Ernest Nelson, 46, who was also arrested
Nelson allegedly then sold the body parts to other people, who were not identified, officials said
Raymond Boucher, the attorney for the families, condemned the companies that allegedly bought body parts from Nelson

Female Genital Mutilation - A Human Rights Information Pack
Amnesty International covers the topic of clitoridectomy, including procedures,
why and where practiced, mental and physical effects on women.
WHAT IS FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION? The different types of mutilation Female genital mutilation (FGM) is the term used to refer to the removal of part, or all, of the female genitalia
The procedure consists of clitoridectomy (where all, or part of, the clitoris is removed), excision (removal of all, or part of, the labia minora), and cutting of the labia majora to create raw surfaces, which are then stitched or held together in order to form a cover over the vagina when they heal
This indicates that the practice is decreasingly associated with initiation into adulthood, and this is believed to be particularly the case in urban areas
Where FGM is carried out as part of an initiation ceremony, as is the case in societies in eastern, central and western Africa, it is more likely to be carried out on all the girls in the community who belong to a particular age group
The procedure may be carried out in the girl's home, or the home of a relative or neighbour, in a health centre, or, especially if associated with initiation, at a specially designated site, such as a particular tree or river
Where the mutilation is part of an initiation rite, the festivities may be major events for the community

Noble classes or castes as well as religious, ethnic, and racial groups have attempted to outlaw out-group mating in an effort to maintain some kind of supposed 'purity' and also to increase the numbers of the particular group
A successful voluntary program in time would be so obviously advantageous that everyone would want to participate in it! Programs like the above are often derided as 'eugenics' and then dismissed on the grounds that the Nazis practiced eugenics
As an embryo develops and turns into a fetus, the cells that make it up begin to specialize to form the various parts of the body
In the adult body there are stem cells called somatic stem cells which can turn themselves into specialized cells in a particular context, but not everywhere

THE SUBTLE BODIES AND CONSCIOUSNESS
An examination of the subtle body.
Each of these parts of the Soul has its own nature and functions, and its own role in the awakening process
The physical body, for its part, is the body known to medical and biological science
It serves as the material foundation and instrument of the other parts of the Soul, enabling the Soul to perceive and act in the realm of material experience
Traditional lore assigns each of its parts to one or another part of spiritual symbolism; thus, for instance, each of the five fingers is assigned to one of the five elements
The etheric body is usually divided, for clarity, into two parts
The second part of the etheric body is called the aura or, in another context, the Sphere of Sensation
It contains most of those parts of the self we normally think of as "mental" or "inner" intellect, emotion, imagination, will, and memory, the instruments of concrete consciousness and it is also the basis for the individual personality
What we must learn to do is to resonate with the pure part of our psyche - the part that is open to the impulses coming from the Soul, so that the resonance of the Higher impulses are felt and manifested in the lower astral, etheric and physical bodies as well

Encyclopedia Smithsonian: Egyptian Mummies
The Smithsonian Institute describes how they were preserved and who they might
have been, with suggestions for reading more about the subject.
The first step in the process was the removal of all internal parts that might decay rapidly
Even so, unused canopic jars continued to be part of the burial ritual
As part of the funeral, priests performed special religious rites at the tomb's entrance
The most important part of the ceremony was called the "Opening of the Mouth"
A priest touched various parts of the mummy with a special instrument to "open" those parts of the body to the senses enjoyed in life and needed in the Afterlife
The vocal tract
Diagram and descriptions of the places of articulation.
Anatomy of the vocal tract In addition to their normal names, many of the parts of the vocal tract have fancy names derived from Latin and Greek
The adjectives we use to describe sounds made with each part are usually based on the Latin/Greek name
tongue body/dorsum the main part of the tongue, lying below the hard and soft palate
The body, specifically the back part of the body (hence 'dorsum', Latin for 'back'), moves to make vowels and many consonants
tongue root the lowest part of the tongue in the throat epiglottis the fold of tissue below the root of the tongue
The 'Adam's apple' in males is the bump formed by the front part of the larynx
the textbook tries to distinguish between sounds made with the backest part of the tongue body and sounds made with a fronter part of the tongue body
