B i o l o g y Ode to My Digestive Tract by Stephanie Thompson BIO 2402: Anatomy and Physiology II. During a lab practical exam, students ended up with about 8 minutes of wait time. The lab practical exam was about the digestive and reproductive systems so I suggested that they use the wait time to write a poem about one of the systems. Stephanie’s “Ode” demonstrates quick wit, creativeness, and the humorous side of science. Kathryn Gronlund My digestive system is the best, it’s hard at work while I’m at rest. Before bedtime I give it a healthy snack, in the morning mass peristalsis gives it right back. Food for feces may seem a bad exchange, but it works for us even though it seems strange. Were it ever to leave me I’d be in a bad way, not only would I cry, but I’d die the same day. I love every structure from my liver to my cecum, we work well together so I intend to keep them. 9 W r i t i n g A c r o s s t h e C u r r i c u l u m
R e s e a r c h P a p e r BIOL 2401: Anatomy and Physiology I. This report by Ana Maria Castro is an outstanding example of a research paper completed as part of the Anatomy and Physiology I course writing requirement. The report is a good example of the proper use of peerreviewed journal articles. Locating and using peer reviewed articles is a skill that many students find difficult. This report is also outstanding because it exemplifies the style of writing (tone, conciseness) that scientists use. Additionally, the report effectively and correctly uses figures, another important science writing skill that not many of the students choose to develop (not a requirement for the assignment). Kathryn Gronlund Chagas’ Disease by Ana Maria Castro Abstract Chagas’ disease or American trypanosomiasis is a tropical disease prevalent in Latin American countries. It is a disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi which is transmitted to humans and animals by kissing bugs of the family reduviidae. The disease has three phases: acute, latent, and chronic and the symptoms vary from phase to phase. In the acute phase the symptoms are mild, but the parasitemia is high. When the infection progresses, symptoms such as cardiomegalias and viseromegalias increase, but the parasitemia is low. The chronic disease is often fatal; however, there are two drugs used to treat the disease: Benznidazol and Nifurtimox. Discussion Cause Chagas’ disease or American tripanosomiasis is produced by a protozoan known as Trypanasoma cruzi (Figure 1). This organism is a flagellate of the Kinetoplastida Order, Family Trypanosomatidae, characterized by the presence of a flagellum and a single mitochondrion in which is situated the Kinetoplast, a specialized DNA-containing organelle (Brusca 133). The vectors of this disease are hematophagus commonly known as kissing bugs of the family Reduviidae and genus Rhodnius, Triatoma, and Panstrongylus (Brusca 614). These insects get infected when they suck the blood of an animal or human that has the parasite in its circulatory system. Within the digestive tube of the bug, the protozoan evolves and the infective stage V o l u m e I V : F a l l 2 0 0 8 1 0
