Adipose tissue

Kim 2 Shape & Structure The pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a special simple columnar cell that appears to be stratified. However, upon closer inspection of the cell, we see that it only has one layer instead of the multiple layers like it's stratified counterpart. The actual shape of the cell itself consists of basal, fusiform, and columnar cells with only the columnar cells reaching the apical(free) surface, this makes it appear stratified due to the other cells (basal & fusiform) not…

Anyone who trains seriously knows the meaning of intensity. It is the trainer against the weights with only two possible outcomes: complete the lift or fail. As the trainer makes there way to the bar they began to prepare themselves for there final bench press, the real deal, the pump to the iron, the best of the set, and they know what needs to happen to complete this exercise. The trainer’s adrenaline is rushing as they begin to prepare to un-rack the weight, slowly lower the bar to their…

Traditional tenderising methods is poor. This includes mechanical, enzymatic and chemical methods. Better results were obtained by using heat and ultrasound for the sterilization process. Technically, ultrasound can work in two different ways in the meat tissue: by the integrity breaking of the muscle cells and by promoting enzymatic reactions.…

span of someone with FOP is reduced to 40 years due to the debilitating nature of the disorder, with death usually being caused by the complications of thoracic insufficiency syndrome in the later decades of life. FOP causes muscles and connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage to be gradually replaced by bone, resulting in bone forming outside of the skeleton which locks joints into place and heavily restricts movement. (www.ghr.nlm.nih.gov).…

factors, fertility drugs, and vaccines. In 1960s, researchers first discovered that bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the medullary cavities - the centers of bones contains at least two types of stem cells. One type named "hematopoietic" stem cell found to form all kinds of blood cells. The second type of stem cell was called "stromal cells" cartilage, and connective tissue cells. Which mean are nerves in all around are body, those cells are the foundation of stem cell research…

break easily, usually caused by a mild trauma or no cause at all. Multiple fractures are common with this disease since bones are weak. Although, in severe cases fracture of bones can occur before birth. This disease is caused by defective connective tissue and the lack of Type One Collagen. There are eight recognized forms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta ranging from Type I to Type VIII. Different signs and symptoms can differentiate the eight types of OI. My research is focused on OI Type I, which…

Definition Cellulitis is an inflammatory condition of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue usually found obstructing a wound, ulcer or dermatosis [10]. Cellulitis is a common bacterial infection. It may appear as a swollen, red area of the skin that will feel hot and tender to touch. Cellulitis can spread to other parts of the body however it is not contagious and cannot spread from person to person. The lower leg of the body is most commonly affected, although cellulitis can occur anywhere…

Physiological effects that arise from this condition include the degradation of muscle tissue, causing muscles to progressively weaken. This effect can be seen through various symptoms, beginning with frequent falls, trouble walking or getting up, learning disabilities, enlarged calves, gluteus, or shoulder muscles, and muscle weakness that…

effects of a common disorder (Atinder). Marfan syndrome is a genetically inherited disorder that affects the connective tissues that exist through the body. Specifically, Marfan syndrome alters the FBN1 gene and this affects the production of fibrillin (NHGRI). Fibrillin is a protein that is produced by the body to give strength to connective tissue. Without this protein, connective tissues are susceptible to breaking, ripping, or tearing (Atinder). Some areas that are more directly affected by…

Marfan syndrome is an inherited, autosomal dominant disease that affects the Fibrillin-1 gene. The research will investigate the efficiency of the beta-blocker therapy, a common treatment for cardiac complications. The scientists will also explore the cause of Marfan syndrome, and provide evidence on the theory of TGF-ß causing particular Marfan syndrome symptoms. In brief, with funding, an experiment on patients, ages 5-20, will be asked to receive either the beta-blocker therapy or the…
