Strokes

Strokes can be very dangerous, but not all strokes are fatal which means a person can still survive a stroke. Strokes are caused when there is not enough blood supply to the brain or by a bleeding inside the brain. Strokes can be fatal depending of which part of the brain it damages. A stroke can damage a person’s ability to talk, vision, and mobility just to mention some of the harms it could cause. There are several diseases or illness that could be the causes or help develop a stroke, for example; diabetes, high cholesterol, or hypertension, etc. Smoking is strongly related to people who have a risk of having a stroke. Some of the symptoms of a stroke include weakness, numbness, headaches, loss of balance, trouble speaking, inability of movement, etc. Obesity, especially abdominal fat is related to the causes of strokes; therefore, exercise is much recommended to get a better quality and healthier life.

My Grandmother passed away three years ago because she couldn't recovered from a stroke. She was a very healthy person until one day she suffered a stroke that left her in bed for almost two years suffering, because she was never able to talk, or move again after been so healthy.

Opiates Drugs

Opiates Drugs can be as addictive as morphine, but at the same time it can be a very good way of controling harmful pains. In some cases opiates drugs are very necesary to survive because people need to deal with some diseases that can be super painful: therefore, for those people these drugs are eesential to take in order to have a normal life. Even though brain does produce endorphins which helps to control pain among human's body, sometimes it is not powerful enough. These endorphins are good to decrease some of pains caused by injuries or diseases and they are necessary for survival, but Opiates do help a lot because they are much more powerful than endorphins.

It is very dangerous to take these drugs without supervision but as I understood this video even when a person is given these drugs by a doctor they will develop addiction towards this drugs eventually. .

Glia Cells

Biology has been by fartest the hardest subject I have ever studied, I have had a really hard time trying to understand all the concepts and terms. It is a very complex subject in my opinion so I might not have much understanding or knowledge of it, but something that did get my attention are Glia cells. There are so many of them and with different functions it is amazing how such a little cells are able to do so many fuctions of the brain, which in my opinion is the most important part of our body.

This video explains the importance of glia cells which I believe are more important or at least more interesting than neurons cells.

Animal Research

Psychology have always been a subject that interested me in so many ways, and one of the topics that got my attention of all the three sections is definitly animal research. I do believe it is a cruelty what scientist do to all animal species just to get the results they are looking for, but when I see all those people specially children dieying of cancer for example, because there is no cure for them it tear my heart apart as well. I think is it a very complicated subject to touch and talk about and even more to make a decision of which side do you support well at least for me it is a hard decision to make. I have so many reasons of why animal research should not be perform at any circustances, but I have as many to believe that scientist should do everything as possible to save a human's life.

This video clearly show how animals are being torture for no reason. Supposedly scientist are looking for answers to help cure or treat human's diseases, but there has to be a limit and it is obvious that some scientists do not see the cruelty they are commiting against innocent non-human species. There are millions of animals that get killed every year from animal testing.

On the other hand, hundreds of children die from so many diseases every year. I mentioned children because my goal is to work for child protective services and I would do what ever it takes to save our little angle's lives. Not forgeting that not only children die from diseases but adults as well, and it is frustating to see our love ones get killed and not be able to do anything to save thier lives.
