1 introduction to anatomy
Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationships between body parts. It comes from the Greek word for "cutting apart" or dissection. There are several subdivisions and specialties within anatomy including gross anatomy, histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy. Gross anatomy involves the visible dissection and study of the human body and its organs. Other areas like histology use microscopy to examine tissues, cells, and structures too small to be seen with the naked eye. Anatomy provides the foundation for medical knowledge and uses specific terminology derived from Greek and Latin to describe body parts, structures, and their spatial relationships.

The key components of the human cell are described as the cell membrane, cytoplasm and organelles. The cell membrane forms the boundary of the cell and regulates what enters and leaves it. Organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum play important roles within the cell.

Prenatal development phases
Human development begins at conception. There are three main periods of prenatal development: the germinal period lasts 2 weeks after conception and involves cell division and implantation; the embryonic period lasts from weeks 2-8 and organs begin to form; and the fetal period lasts from months 2-9 where growth and maturation continue dramatically. By the end of the fetal period, the fetus is fully developed and capable of surviving outside the womb.
Piaget's theory of cognitive development lecture 3
Jean Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. In the sensorimotor stage from birth to age 2, infants learn about the world through senses and motor activities. From ages 2-7, the preoperational stage is characterized by egocentric thought and learning language. During concrete operations from 7-11 years, logical thought emerges about concrete objects. Finally, in formal operations from 11-15 years, abstract and hypothetical thinking develops.
Middleadulthood
Middle adulthood brings physical changes like gradual weight gain and loss of strength and senses. Women experience menopause around age 50 which can cause hot flashes and night sweats. Health concerns increase as risks for diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension rise. Stress remains a factor in health. Overall, health risks are lower than younger ages if healthy habits are maintained.

Introduction to neurons
Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and communicate via electrical and chemical signals. There are three main types of neurons - sensory neurons that receive information, interneurons that process information within the central nervous system, and motor neurons that send signals to muscles and glands. Glial cells provide support and insulation for neurons and are involved in nutrient supply, debris removal, and synaptic function. Neurons and glial cells work cooperatively to carry out the vital functions of the nervous system.
Political Philosophy
This document provides a short overview of key concepts in political philosophy.

Theories of government like the social contract theory and divine right are explained. It also outlines different branches, principles, and types of government like democracy, dictatorship, and constitutional monarchy.
Piaget's theory of cognitive development
Piaget's theory of cognitive development consists of four stages through which children progress as they interact with their environment: the sensorimotor stage (birth to age 2) where children learn through senses and motor skills; the preoperational stage (ages 2 to 7) where symbolic thought and language emerge but reasoning is still egocentric; the concrete operational stage (ages 7 to 11) where logical and systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects occurs; and the formal operational stage (ages 11 to 15) where abstract reasoning and formal operational thought emerge.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
