How glucose levels are re-established when a disruption in the system by internal influences are made. An example of an internal influence that disrupts the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation is diabetes. Diabetes is a disease in which the body is not able to absorb enough glucose into cells or does not get converted into glycogen, either because of the lack of insulin in the body or because the body does not respond to the insulin properly. Because the negative feedback…

Diabetes Mellitus The human body is a perfectly balance organism that needs to be in a state of homeostasis( balance) in order to function properly. Certain conditions however, can cause a disruption in the bodies equilibrium. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that disrupts the bodies normal sugar levels leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar in the blood). There are 2 different types of diabetes mellitus; type 1 and type 2. Knowing the difference between diabetes type 1 and type 2 it’s…

entered through micropinocytosis, protease cathespin L activates the virus (12). Nipah Virus can replicate very easily in human lung fibroblasts. It can infect the surrounding cells by either cell-to-cell spread or through release of infectious particles. When monocytes get infected, they can transmigrate through the blood brain barrier to infect the brain. This could be plausible if the monocytes were inefficient in early clearance of the virus. Nipah virus can also infect neuronal cells but…

divided into two types, massive and massless radiation. Both can have high energy associated with them, Gamma rays are the most energetic form of massless radiation. When it comes to massive radiant the sun mostly emits protons with a scattering of alpha rays and betta rays. With proton emission having speed of nearly a 1/3 of the speed of light.These can cause substantial damage to humans specifically the weak hydrogen bounds in DNA [2]. The largest source for this kind of radiation would be a…

Kidney stones What are kidney stones? Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) are salts or crystals that precipitate in the urinary tract. These stones are typically made up of elements such as calcium (most common), uric acid, magnesium ammonium phosphate, or cysteine. The urinary tract begins with the kidneys, which empty urine into the ureters, which then drain urine into the bladder and finally the urethra. Stones can be located anywhere along the urinary system from the kidneys to the bladder.…

bombarded gold foil with particles (alpha particles) from a radioactive source, led to the understanding of the atom. “What he noted was that although most of the particles passed right through the gold foil, a very small percentage (approximately 1 in 8000) would "bounce back". What exactly did this imply?”(The Discovery of Radioactivity). This, in mister Rutherford`s head, meant that matter was made of empty space, but there is a tiny dense portion of matter that deflects particles. His…

of the carbon monoxide in the atmosphere came from motorized vehicles that operate on gas and diesel. There are also no nonrenewable fuels burned while riding a bike. Vehicles burn millions of barrels of oil each day in the form of gas and diesel. Alpha Online…

phenylalanine is lost as a result of this mutation. It is autosomal recessive so both the CFTR alleles should be faulty to cause the disease. Many of the epithilial linings of the ducts in the human body have a layer of mucus on it. It helps trap dust particles and microorganisms that enter the body. Patients of CF however have very thick and dry mucus. The hair like structures called cillia can then no longer move freely and less oxygen…

pollution; for example, nuclear weapons have left the greatest amount of radioactive pollution in the Earth. Mining has also added to radioactive pollution; extracting radioactive elements and processing them produces radioactive wastes which emits alpha particles into the air. Nuclear accidents are popularly known for their destruction and long-term danger. Some examples of this would be Chernobyl, a nuclear accident in Ukraine during 1986, and Fukushima in Japan in 2011. [Transition…
