In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles, talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all people would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy, and energy is required for this. We need energy to be able to move and use our muscles which also only operate when they are warm. Energy is the ability to do work in our bodies. That means doing everything that a body needs to do to stay alive and to grow: pumping ions across membranes, making new proteins, making new lipids, making hormones, making new cells, neural function, contracting muscles, replacing damaged components, absorbing nutrients, excreting wastes and pumping blood.…
This is a career path I did not consider when I was younger because it was awkward to think about. However, as I’m growing older my fascination with how the body works, specially during pregnancy, is increasing. Becoming an OB/GYN takes ambition and a long time of preparation, things that will certainly not be easy. However, I am aware…
The journey to medical school has by no means been an effortless one. Choosing the non-traditional route to complete my studies has not only equipped me with the maturity necessary to excel in medical school, but also the knowledge required to overcome the challenges I may encounter during my journey. Upon completing my undergraduate studies at FSU, I subsequently went on to complete additional post baccalaureate science courses at both Miami Dade College and Florida International University. Also, I have recently completed my Masters degree in Biomedical Science at Barry University. During my undergraduate and graduate years, I maintained full time employment, which has taught me the art of time management; a trait I believe will be essential to my success while in…
I was a premature baby when I was born, so I know how difficult it can be during labor and delivery. My mother was really close to having a stroke while giving birth to me and my twin brother. Once I learned about how dangerous my mom’s delivery was I took interest in the whole labor and delivery process. After researching and getting an understanding of the process I decided I wanted to become a doctor, an ob/gyn to be more specific. My goal is to become an ob/gyn I know it’s a lot of work and school but I have a plan.…
