Advance the discussion or extend discussions already taking place. Responses must add new information not previously discussed. Pose new possibilities or opinions not previously voiced. Consider new factual information tied with critical thinking. Interesting and current research on the topic. Consider starting out posts with, “A research article I found said, Did you know, 3 things I found interesting were…”  it comes to the integumentary system it consists of the skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves; three of which are things we pay close attention to daily. The integumentary system provides mechanical protection against environmental hazards. (Martini & Nath, 2009) Each function is important as they help retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste and regulate our body temperature. Imagine if your circulatory system didn’t work, you’d not be able to have the correct circulation to areas of the body leading the nervous system to not be able to work properly then causing the body temperature to not function correctly. I have this problem with having lymphedema in my leg as a result of not having the correct circulation and extra fluid retention my nervous system does not work as it should. The sense is not the greatest or in some areas is over sensitive to touch, many times I have cut myself and not known due to no feeling in that area; as a result the ability of my leg to regulate the temperature is not able as its hard for it to sense what it should do so usually it is warm to the touch. Without the functions our body can easily go downhill like a snowball effect when even just one small function is off, as each part plays a roll in making our body function.

General Guidelines: Science essays are short, formal writings for a specialist audience and, hence, they typically appear in a “serious” tone. (Science is supposed to be serious, and so is science writing.) You may consider these essays as mini-reviews on specific subjects, being secondary literature in nature. If you take a visit to some of the leading scientific journals (such as Nature and Science), you will find many good examples of science essays. Here are two of such examples: 2 Gao J, Yao T, Masson-Delmotte V, Steen-Larsen HC, Wang W. 2019. Collapsing glaciers threaten Asia’s water supplies. Nature, 356: 19-21. Breeze E., 2018. Sweet and juicy: Identification and origins of the Dry alleles in sorghum. The Plant Cell, 30: 2234-2235. (This essay is an introduction to a full-length paper by Zhang et al. published in the same issue of the journal, pp. 2286-2307). Steps of writing a science essay: o Choose a topic that you are familiar with or have a strong interest, and give a suitable title. o Produce an outline and decide on the coverage. o Research your subject through collecting and reading literature. o Structure your essay through careful organization. o Use relevant results/evidence, and be critical on the information available. o Figure out how to present your work, and produce a good draft. o Perform multiple revisions. These steps do not always work in a linear order, but you will need to go back and forth to substantiate any points as necessary.  • Topic and subject: suitable and substantial. (10 points) • Information from reliable sources (mainly peer-reviewed primary and secondary literature) and cited properly. A professionally created list of references is included. (20 points) • Satisfactory integration of information, in-depth understanding of subject, coherence maintained. (20 points) • Presentation logical and smooth. (10 points) • A complete story told. (10 points) • Free from errors in grammar and spelling. (10 points) • Length suitable. (10 points)

write a developed research essay in which you defend your thesis as best as possible from your sources. Include evidence in the text

THIS IS AN IMMUNOLOGY COURSE THE PAPER HAS TO BE IMMUNOLOGY RELATED. Paper should explain how Ischemia stroke affects the immune system or vice-versa. Need 3 subsections  TERM PAPER REQUIREMENTS  • Introduction/Background  o This should set up the entire document, providing sufficient background to understand what you are talking  about (e.g., the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, disease background, etc.,)  • Sections  o These are major divisions of your research topic (e.g., If the topic were a review on neurodegeneration, that can be      broken down into different kinds of neurodegeneration). • Discussion / Conclusions o This is like the reflection part of your writing assignments. This is where you take a step back and look at the big picture as a whole. Now that you have researched it, what are the takeaways? Where are the holes or lack of knowledge in the topic/research? How did the studies you read compare to one another? What did you conclude after doing your research? JOURNAL ARTICLE IMMUNOLOGY INFORMATION SOURCES  o 9 – 10 primary research articles. MUST BE JOURNAL ARTICLES. EACH SUBSECTION SHOULD HAVE 3 JOURNAL ARTICLES TO EXPLAIN THAT SECTION. MUST USE THE DATA IN THE ARTICLE AS ALSO PART OF EXPLANATION. MUST USE PUBMED FOR JOURNAL ARTICLES:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov o No more than 1 review o ? 8 sources have to be 2018 or newer o ? 2 sources can be older than 2018 o No WEBSITES nor any non-scientific journal sources can be used Formatting: Submitted as a Word or PDF document w/ 1” margins 1.15 spaced Times New Roman Type Size 12 You may include a cover page (Course, Title, Name, University and date if you want to practice formality) or a properly labeled file (Name, Course, Year in the header or footer)  Page count: 5 pages, not counting references NO MORE THAN 3 DIRECT QUOTES, EACH LONGER THAN 1 SENTENCE EACH. Should follow the sequence: THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW A TOPIC CAN  BE BROKEN DOWN. o Introduction to Topic (e.g., Hematopoietic Stem Cells) § Should give sufficient fleshed out information that the person reading should understand § ASSUME THE READERS HAS TAKEN AND PASSED CELL BIOLOGY COURSE o Sub-Section 01 (e.g., Factors that play a role in how they divide) § These Sections are major divisions in the Topic  o Sub-Section 02 (e.g., Where they reside) § The Sections should follow a flowing order o Sub-Section 03 (e.g., Their role in transplantation) § The sections may include subsections but only 2 max per section Discussion / Conclusions § This is where you basically reflect and discuss your topic in light of the papers you read and the of course in light of what you have learned in the course WORK CITED MUST USE CSE/CBE STYLE FOR CITATIONS

Prepare a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation, which includes detailed speaker notes, discussing ecosystem exploitation. In your presentation, include the following items: Introduction Define the concept of overexploitation from a Conservation Biology perspective.  Discuss your ecosystem (or another relevant ecosystem) from the Acting Locally Paper (week 2) and discuss one type of past or current overexploitation.  Explain the past, present, and potential future consequences of the overexploitation in this ecosystem.  Explain who benefited from this overexploitation activity? Explain current and potential management of your ecosystems. How can modification, cultivation, or restoration alter these ecosystems? Outline at least two potential management plans beyond cessation of exploitation, and describe the costs and benefits of each. Identify at least one specific practical action you can take to support the protection of this ecosystem. What is one specific past, current or future political action undertaken or proposed to help reduce the exploitation of this ecosystem? Interpret how these specific actions can support conservation and biodiversity. Summary or conclusion Cite at least four references. Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines. Each slide should have approximately six (6) bullets, with each bullet being approximately six (6) words.  Avoid using long sentences or paragraphs.   Visuals in the form of photos, charts, graphs, and/or ClipArt are required for this presentation.  Utilize the Student Materials titled PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines and Sample PowerPoint Presentation.

what type of microbe it is, what helpful beneficial actions it performs and which subfield of microbiology it is involved in You must discuss only the helpful, beneficial, positive aspects in your own words, paraphrasing from only credible academic sources. You may not directly quote from your sources.  You must also cite your credible academic reference sources in text and provide full end ref information in APA format.
