Henrietta vocal

Why do you think Henrietta wasn't more vocal about her condition? Give support for your conclusion.

I believe that Henrietta was not more vocal about her condition due to her past. Henrietta grew up in a small community and never really opened up. She was taught to keep stuff to herself and not to tell anyone. Another reason why Henrietta may not have opened up about her conditions was her showing weakness. Henrietta does not want to show weakness to the doctor, her husband, or any of her children. It was bad enough that her race was being segregated, she didn't want people to think her race was also weak. She never opened up to her family since she carries her family's shoulder on her weight. Henrietta cares for Day and cooks/cleans for her children. If they knew she was in pain, her family will feel pity and attempt to do everything by themselves.

What I Want To Learn About Reproduction

I would like to learn how the male and female reproductive system work. I am curious on how they function and how certain hormones cause the systems to react. I also would like to learn on the development of babies and what goes on during the 9 month process. I always wonder how are organs and tissues developed within the baby that is growing inside the carrier's stomach. Also, I would like to learn what drives human reproduction. I would like to learn all the theories involving the drive and the psychological side of it.

John Gey ethical?

Was John Gey ethical for taking Henrietta Cells?

I believe that John Gey was not ethical in taking Henrietta cells. Gey took the cells without Henrietta's consent which is illegal. He didn't bother asking her family members or anyone that mattered in the situation. Although Henrietta signed a form in the hospital, Henrietta believed it was only a form saying that the doctors can perform necessary operations on her. Also, Henrietta did not understand the form and was manipulated in signing it from the nurses at the Hopkins hospital. Taking Henrietta's cells was a selfish decision made by Gey and was not made to help out Henrietta. Although Gey made a revolution in the science field and made multiple advancements and new understandings, what he did was still immoral and cause Henrietta's family much discomfort and pain.

Anemia

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Anemia is the disease where a person will have fewer red blood cells than a normal person.Iron Deficiency Anemia is the most common type of anemia. When there is not enough iron in a human body, the body can't produce a protein called hemoglobin,which carried oxygen to the body's tissues. The tissue and muscle need oxygen to function effectively. The causes of this anemia is not enough intake of iron, pregnancy or blood loss by menstrual cycle,internal bleeding, and inability to absorb iron. 

Symptoms of moderate to severe iron-deficiency anemia include:

• general fatigue
• weakness
• pale skin
• shortness of breath
• dizziness
• strange cravings for non-food items, such as dirt, ice, and clay
• tingling or a crawling feeling in the legs
• swelling or soreness in the tongue
• cold hands and feet
• fast or irregular heartbeat
• brittle nails
• headaches

Treatments:A victim of this disease can take iron supplements to bring his/her levels of iron in their body to normal.Also, taking Vitamin C can help the body absorb iron.Diets high in red meat, dark leafy vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, and iron-fortified cereals can help treat or prevent iron deficiency.

Some severe cases involve treatment in the hospital, blood transfusions, iron rejections, or intravenous iron therapy.

Cell Biologist

A Day In The Life of a Cell Biologist

A cell biologist works in the field of biology called cytology. Cell biologists study all aspects of the cells. They study the cellular and atomic composition of the cell and also their interactions of the cells in the environment. Cell biologists will conduct experiments to understand the nature of cells better.The biggest concern of cell biologists is the process and  structure that occur and exist in cells.They are usually interested in the relationships between the cells functions and structures.Cell biologists also tends to find similarities and differences of different cells belonging to different species. Also, cell biologists are very interested in the different kinds of protein located in cells and their different purposes. 

Training: Cell biologists are usually employed in research labs. For applying, the applicant need a bachelor's or master's degree in biology, cellular biology or a related science. In order to conduct independent research, a Ph.D. is required. 

Salary:$45,945-$68,918
