Plasmodium is a parasite with over 100 species, but only four directly affect humans(“Malaria Parasites”). This parasite affects the circulatory system, or cardiovascular system(Coolidge-Stolz 78). Even though it’s microscoping in size, it can cause a lot of damage. It has many things that structure it, and some are even in common with animals (“Structure of Plasmodium Merozoite”). The parasite gets into the body from mosquitoes and infects the bloodstream(“Plasmodium”). The plasmodium parasite…

which functions as a channel transporting chloride ions across the plasma membrane. This protein also regulates the transport of sodium ions across the cell. Chloride ions aid in the movement of water into and out of cells so that epithelial cells lining organs can produce a thin, fluid mucus as a lubricant or protectant. A mutated CFTR gene is unable to provide instruction for chloride ion transport across the plasma membrane, resulting in an insufficient movement of water into and out of…

The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP…

Calcified drusen have a shiny appearance. All of the other types of drusen can have calcification also, but calcified hard drusen are known to stand out the most. It is unclear how much drusen effects the development of macular degeneration. In some cases, there can be a little amount of drusen with a greater amount of visual damage, or there is a lot of drusen present and the vision may not be that bad. Drusen are infamous for being inconsistant. (Kanski, 1992). Non-exudative (dry) is by far…

hypothalamus and released by the neurohypophysis. AVP binds to the G-protein couple receptor, arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2), in the basolateral membrane of the kidneys. This leads to transport of aquaporin water channels (AQP2) to the apical membrane of the collecting duct principal cells. Water permeability is induced in the membrane resulting in water reabsorption in the principal cells. 1 The four types of diabetes insipidus (DI) include central DI, nephrogenic DI, gestational…

To begin, the role of the ACH receptor is vital to biology. An incoming action potential to an alpha motor neuron causes acetylcholine or ACH, at the end plate. The ACH binds to ACH receptors on the sarcolemma causing a depolarization through sodium influx. In your body, calcium performs a number of basic functions. The body uses around 99 percent of its calcium to keep bones and teeth strong, as a result, supports skeletal structure and function. The rest of the calcium in your body plays…

to the elbow. The long bone as suggested by its name is long in structure, meaning they are considerably longer then they are wider. The structure for the humerus is typically similar to all structures of long bones, with a shaft, bone ends and membranes. Dyaphysis or the shaft of the humerus makes up the long axis of he bone and is constructed of very high density compact bone (Merieb, 2010). This structure engulfs around the medullary cavity, which houses the bone marrow. Humerus epiphyses is…

Now everything has been accounted for the cricothyroid membrane needs to be found again. After the membrane has been found again place one hand on the trachea. Being sure that you are as gentle but firm as possible. Gently clean the site with alcohol wipes. Cleaning in a circular motion from the inside out. Never going over the same…

Potassium channels (KC) are selective transmembrane proteins that allow K+ ions flow down an electrochemical gradient across cell membrane, thus controlling plasma membrane potential in both excitable and non-excitable cells (Szabo, Zoratti&Gulbins, 2010). Evolutionarily conserved KC family is one of the larges and most diverse of ion channels (Table1). Its diversity comes not only from a large number of genes coding for main subunits (over 80 mammalian genes). Many other processes such as…
