Our human body consists of several different types of organs for example, lung, heart and kidney each organs have specific function that they carry out. Small part of the cell which is called organelles, they have been adapted to carry out certain function and this can be more than one. Organelles are found in eukaryotes and they are always surrounded by protective membrane. Mitochondria which is the organelle it acts like a digestive system because it takes in all the nutrients, breaks them…

and other irritants to the bronchial mucosa activates B cells, which produce IgE, together cause cell degranulation on the mast cells’ surface which cause inflammatory mediators to be released. Inflammatory mediators cause vasodilatation, increase capillary permeability, mucosal edema, bronchial smooth muscle contraction, and mucus secretion. Other inflammatory cytokines cause increase level of acetylcholine, which in turn causes bronchial smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion (which is…

The question has been asked if e-cigarettes are less harmful than smoking tobacco since the vapor produced doesn't contain the chemicals found in tobacco smoke. This relatively new method of nicotine administration and for the most part we don't know a lot about the safety of these products. The long- term health risks from using e-cigarettes will not be known for many years. E-cigarettes were created as an inhalable nicotine vapor by heating a liquid nicotine solution. The variety of these…

This rectangular shaped cell is the Cardiac Muscle cell. Each cell is relatively small, and has one nucleus (sometimes 2) They are connected by microscopic features of the cardiac muscle. This is known as the intercalated discs. These intercalated discs contain cell structures called desmosomes and gap junctions. Compared to skeletal muscle cells, these cells are Y shaped and are a lot shorter and wider. Desmosomes are thick patches in the cell membrane region, usually lying between two…

Acetaminophen Aspirin Caffeine Salicylamide C8H9NO C9H8O4 C8H10N C7H7NO Figure 1. The Chemical structure of Acetaminophen, Aspirin, Caffeine and Calicylamide. Obtain two TLC plates and 12 capillary micropipettes. Using a lead pencil lightly draw a line across the plates about 1 cm from the bottom. Then lightly mark off five same distance intervals on the line. These point use to spot samples.…

“Moisture Content” (MC). The hygroscopic nature of wood cause the water movement, either along the grain or across the grain. The free water moves through cell cavities (along the grain) and pit openings (across the grain). During drying it is moved by capillary forces that exert a pull on the free…

HINKLEY, CARLIFORNIA NEWS FORUM 01 August 1993 WATER CONTAMINATION IN HINKLEY I am Erin Brokovich; I am a twice-divorced mother of three young children aged between 9 months to 8 years old. I believe the $28 billion company Pacific Gas and Electric has poisoned the water supply of Hinkley, California with hexavalent chromium. In 18 months, I hope with the help of 634 plaintiffs and Masry law firm to sue PG&E for 333 million dollars for the water contamination in Hinkley. PG&E is a $28…

P1 had clear lung sound in all lobes and normal heart sound on auscultation; regular apical, radial, and pedal pulses; capillary refill was less than 3 minutes, +1 pitting edema in his lower extremities, skin was warm to touch. The patient exhibited poor skin turgor due to limited fluid intake. The pt. had ecchymosis on his upper extremities due to multiple IV lines insertion and erythema on his sacral area due to limited ambulation. Due to pt.’s history of acute-on-chronic renal failure, his…

extremities related to fatigue. The skin was warm, dry and intact with no noted lesions and skin turgor was less than three seconds. Heart sounds were distant and muffled, with S1 and S2 auscultated. No murmurs, pulsations or thrills were observed. His capillary refill time was less than three seconds in both hands and feet. Pulses were palpable in the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibialis with a decreased amplitude that was related to CHF and fluid overload. B.H. had a surgically implanted port…

Introduction Osteopathic medicine prides itself on being able to “recognize the body’s ability to regulate itself and mount its own defences against most pathologic conditions” (DiGiovanna, Schiowitz, & Dowling, 2005) Homeostasis can be referred to as the “maintenance of static or constant conditions in the internal environment.” (Guyton & Hall, 2000) Osteopathy and its principles, aim to regulate the bodies’ natural function including the use of osteopathic techniques to maintain the health and…
