Although not as immediately critical as the availability of oxygen and glucose, it is important for the nervous system of ectothermic humans to maintain normothermia for effective cellular functioning (Morrison, 2011). The principle source of heat originates from the body. Temperature control mechanisms in humans consist of both core and peripheral processes. Responses elicited occur in a feed-forward manner. Changes in thermoreceptors in primary sensory nerve endings distributed to the skin are…

It is not easy to absorb and utilize anything biochemically. Emission of calcium is done by mucous membrane of small intestines and from urine in the form of calcium phosphate. 2.8 Dairy, a good source of Calcium Calcium is absorbed in the body from milk in larger %age than supplements.

Herpes zoster (shingles): a skin condition caused by varicella-zoster virus, the virus causing chickenpox (a childhood illness). Shingles is common among people with previous chickenpox history. The virus may remain inactive in the nerves for a long time and become active again as a consequence of weak immune system (elderly, cancer patients). The virus targets the epidermis and cause painful rashes that appear as clusters of fluid-filled blisters. Although blisters may occur anywhere on the…

This gives a high radiation dose to the tumour while reducing the radiation exposure in the surrounding healthy tissues. History of the technology: The term 'brachytherapy' is derived from the Greek word for ‘short,’ (brachy) which refers to the, “distance between the therapeutic agent and the target lesion.” Commonly used to treat accessible tumours with radium New sources,…
