What is DNA?
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that carries the genetic information in all living organisms. It is located in the nucleus of each cell and organized into structures called chromosomes. DNA comprises four nucleotide bases - adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. The particular sequence of these bases makes up an organism's genes, encoding the proteins and other molecules essential for life. This unique DNA sequence determines an individual organism's traits and characteristics

DNA Inheritance
DNA inheritance occurs when DNA is passed from parents to offspring during reproduction. It enables the transmission of genetic information across generations. Each parent contributes DNA in the form of chromosomes that carry genes. The specific combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes comprises the genetic blueprint of the offspring. This ensures variation among individuals of a species, while heredity provides continuity of traits through generations allowing species to evolve.
the different types of cells in an animal's body and how to use them
Types of Cells
Cells are broadly categorized into two main types - prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, lack membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles that perform specialized functions as well as a nucleus containing genetic material. Eukaryotic cells include plant cells containing chloroplasts and cell walls, animal cells lacking cell walls, and fungal cells with cell walls but no chloroplasts.

DNA Nitrogen Bases
DNA is composed of nucleotides that each contain one of four nitrogenous bases - cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine. These bases form specific base pairs: cytosine always pairs with guanine, and adenine always pairs with thymine. The sequence of these bases along the DNA molecule carry an organism's genetic code. During DNA replication, complementary bases are added to produce two identical DNA double helices carrying the same genetic information as the original strand.

Steps of DNA Replication
The DNA double helix unwinds and unzips. An enzyme called helicase separates the two strands, while topoisomerase relieves tension. DNA polymerase then builds the complementary strands by adding nucleotides that base pair with the parent strands. Finally, the complementary daughter strands come together to form two new, complete double helix molecules.

Spinal Cord Stimulator
A spinal cord stimulator is an implanted device that sends low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord to relieve pain. Spinal cord stimulation can improve overall quality of life and sleep, and reduce the need for pain medicines. It is typically used along with other pain management treatments, including medications, exercise, physical therapy and relaxation methods.

Structural Organization of the Human Body
Life processes of the human body are maintained at several levels of structural organization. These include the chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and the organism level. Higher levels of organization are built from lower levels.

Veins of the Leg
The leg's primary veins include the posterior tibial vein, anterior tibial vein, and peroneal vein. The posterior tibial vein is responsible for draining blood from the plantar arch and the posterior compartment of the leg.

Spinothalamic Tract
The spinothalamic tract (STT) is a sensory tract that carries nociceptive, temperature, crude touch, and pressure from our skin to the somatosensory area of the thalamus. It is responsible for our quick withdraw reaction to a painful stimulus such as touching the stove burner.

Classification of Skin Burns
You can identify what type of burn you have by its appearance. A first-degree burn may only cause skin discoloration. A second-degree burn includes blisters, a darker tone and a shiny, moist appearance. A third-degree burn may cause your skin to turn black and dry out.

Nervous System Poster
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The nervous system has three main functions: sensory input, integration of data and motor output. It allows you to do things like walk, speak, swallow, breathe and learn. It also controls how the body reacts in an emergency.

Corticospinal Tract
The Corticospinal tract (CST), also known as the pyramidal tract, is a collection of axons that carry movement-related information from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord. It forms part of the descending spinal tract system that originate from the cortex or brainstem.

Human Body Cavities
A body cavity is a fluid-filled space inside the body that holds and protects internal organs. Human body cavities are separated by membranes and other structures. The two largest human body cavities are the ventral cavity and the dorsal cavity. These two body cavities are subdivided into smaller body cavities.
