Ancient Egyptian Medicine

Medicine in ancient Egypt

In Ancient Egypt they understood that disease could be treated by pharmaceuticals. It was recognized that the healing potential in massage and aromas, had male and female doctors who specialized in certain specific areas, and understood the importance of cleanliness in treating patients.

It wasn’t til the 19th century CE that the germ theory of disease was confirmed by Louis Pasteur and proven by the work of british surgeon Joseph Lister. The Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865) offered the then outlandish proposal to the medical community that they could cut mortality rates in their practices simply by washing their hands.

Injuries were easy to understand in Ancient Egypt. Disease however was more complex. When someone was injured there was a simple cause and effect which could be treated. However when someone was sick the cause was unknown therefore harder to treat.

So how does this all link to our modern day and age? Although the technology we use to treat certain diseases and injuries has drastically changed, the overall procedure has stayed pretty similar. If someone was sick there’d be a diagnosis and medicine. If someone was injured there’d be a cause and certain healing process (depending on the severity of both) In conclusion the way we treat medicine has stayed the same, it’s just grown.

Sexxy Paragraphs.

In English, we were working in groups to form Sexxy Paragraphs to explain the overall plot and structure of ‘The Power Of One’.

1. The director uses a Longshot to highlight everything going on in this scene.


2. The angle of this long shot is focusing on Sergeant Borman’s legs with Geel Piet ahead of him, suggesting there’s going to be a confrontation.


3. The Director’s purpose was to show inferiority and superiority. It shows from the angle that Sargeant is superior while Geel Piet is inferior.


4. The angle and position of the camera make it clear to the audience that there is going to be some kind of confrontation. This right away makes the viewers nervous. We knew Geel Piet was guilty of holding the tobacco, we’re automatically scared and panicked for him. We feel utter sympathy for Geel Piet although we know he’s broken the rules.

5. You can link this to the scene where Geel piet got beaten by Sargeant Borman.

Tech and Change

We've recently been looking into and doing research on technology and how it's changed the way we do things and the way we act. Our google slide pinpoint and address everything from how the tech itself has changed, to how it's changed us. For example me and my work partner show how we went from reading news papers to watching live action news on our televisions, how we went from reading books, to watching movies, washing our clothes with our bare hands to putting them in machines, and possibly the biggest change is how we went from using telephones to using cellphones that literally have the answer to almost everything behind a screen. Tech has changed almost everything around us, whether it's for better or for worse is yet to be known.

The actual definition for 'Technology' is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

Chicken Dissection

Chicken dissection

Place the chicken leg on the dissecting tray and examine at the exterior features. The tough outer later is called the epidermis. The small bumps covering the skin are where the feathers were attached.

Examine the lower leg. This is called the drum stick and it is the equivalent of your lower leg. The large muscle at the back of the leg is the same as your gastrocnemius. It also includes 2 bones. The tibia and the Fibula.

Examine the upper leg. On both a chicken and a human this part is called the thigh. It contains a large bone called the femur.

Carefully pull the skin by sliding it done and off the lower leg. You may need to use your scalpel to remove it, but he careful not to cut any muscle tissue.

The yellowish material under the skin is fat.

The muscles of the egg, like all muscles, work in bundles. Separate a bundle of muscle by inserting your thumb into the muscles of the lower leg. You will notice that the muscle bundle is covered in a silvery lining called the fascia and this makes it hard to separate. But if you push hard enough you will tear it and find that separating muscle bundles is a lot easier.

At either end of the muscles, you will see the white cord like tissue. These cords are called tendons. Tendons attach muscle to bone.

Using the scalpel, carefully remove all the muscle from the lower leg. Using your dissection probe to examine any blood vessels you find and try to determine which muscles blood is supplied to.

Near the bone you should see thin, thread like strands. These are nerves.

Using the dissection scissors, cut across the tendons that join the muscles to the bones. Be careful not to cut any ligaments that attach bone to bone. You should end up with all the bones still attached to each other, but no muscle tissue present.

Move the bones around the joints. The main joint between the bones of the lower leg and the fur is  a hinge joint like the one in your knee. Note how the bones can move only in one plane.

Use your scalpel, carefully cut the ligaments, keeping the bones together.

In the joint between the bones is a piece of cartilage. Cartilage allows joints to move smoothly and protects the bones against shock to the body.

Break one bone in half and examine the marrow. This is where the blood cells are made.

Clean up your work area. Ensure you clean your bench using antibacterial spray. Wash your hounds thoroughly with plenty of antibacterial soap and water.
