#GetHelp- Q3 biology project

Posted by Alexander Delgado in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 9:16 pm

For the Q3 project, me and my group were in charge of describing and presenting how the brain and nervous system is affected by the effects of alcoholism and substance abuse, as well as treatments and reasons for why the victims end up developing addictions to certain substances. While working on this project I learned a lot from how addictions can develop from just about anything and also how alcoholism literally drunks your brain with alcoholic fluids. I also had the amazing chance of interviewing amazing individuals such as Dr. Hector Colon-Rivera, and Elvis Rosado. Two people involved in treating people who have some sort of substance abuse and also help in teaching other people of the consequences and what it could really do to the body in the Philadelphia area.

How Addiction Affects the Nervous System

For this quarter 3 benchmark, my group and I created a website serving as an informational guide and helping resource for individuals on their road to recovery from addiction. Information that I took out of this project was how sugar causes the same addicting effects as drugs and other substances. As well as local organizations that are combating addiction and spreading awareness in communities throughout Philadelphia.

Anatomy of the Human Body: Addiction

Posted by Miki Huang in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 3:08 pm

​Here is a link to our website: https://ssam19.wixsite.com/gethelp/opioid 

For this project, we had to pick a topic that was related to the Nervous System. We decided to focus on alcoholism and addiction. The reason for this is because in the past few decades there has been a big opioid epidemic that has been continuing to grow. While working on this project I learned more about the specific parts of the brain and how they were affected by drugs, but more importantly I also learned that sugar has a similar effect on the brain and it is related to our biology. However, this leaves me thinking are people who don't have a sweet tooth also affected by this? and how do we fight the biological craving?

I learned a lot throughout this benchmark. I didn’t know that doctors would induce people into comas.

Form fits function. In a coma the brain stays the same. We learned about comas and how different comas happen. We have certain body parts that perform certain functions.

Coma

Posted by Zaina Belgrave in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 11:37 am

In our project we researched how comas happen and how they effect the physiology and anatomy of the project. We learned that there are different types of comas and ways to treat them. We also learned what chemicals are affected.

Dissociative Identity Disorder!

Posted by Zaniyah Norman in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 8:27 am

For our project we explain the differences between an healthy brain and a brain that suffers from DID. People with DID have smaller amygdala and hippocampus. I learn that those functions is used to help you remember things and having a smaller one makes it harder.

Stress and The human body

Posted by Anthony Walker-Wardlaw in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 8:08 am

I learned a lot about stress in the making of this project, I never thought about stress as a physical thing with it's own chemicals tied to it.

Alzheimer's Disease

Posted by Aquilah Bond in Biology of the Human Body · Aziz · E on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 7:55 am

The project taught me how Alzheimer's Disease can affect the brain. What I learned is that can it cause damage to the brain and caused memory to be completely gone. There is medication to treat the disease but no cure.
