Red blood cell

muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. There is also the SKELETAL SYSTEM The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals. There is also the NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the…

vessels in between cells of body tissue. These collect tissue fluid that has been forced out of blood capillaries and has not returned to them. They are drainage vessels and their walls are made of a single layer overlapping endothelial cells which makes them permeable. Filaments anchor the endothelial cells to surrounding structures so when the tissue swell with fluid the endothelial cells of the lymph capillary wall are slightly pulled apart. This results in the tissue fluid between cells and…

buffer system in the body is the Bicarbonate Buffer System. The bicarbonate buffer system is an acid/base mechanism which involves the balance of Carbonic Acid (H_2 〖CO〗_3), Bicarbonate Ion (〖HCO〗_3^-), and Carbon Dioxide (〖CO〗_2) so that the pH in the blood and duodenum can be maintained, among all other tissues and to support metabolic functions. A catalyzed reaction also takes place forming this equation: 〖CO〗_2+H_2 O⇋H_2 〖CO〗_3⇋〖HCO〗_3^-+H^+ What is hypertonic solution and a hypotonic…

away tHere was a white blood cell named disgrace. Disgrace was always teased and bullied by his peers for being, well, being a disgrace . Disgraces’ mother, who was intoxicated with alcohol at the time of giving birth to him (alcohol consumption during pregnancy is rarely a good idea), had given her newly born son a surprisingly faultless name. Disgraces’ only real friend was obviously someone in the same boat , another ill-named white blood cell named, “ugly poo,” this cell never made fun of…

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that is found in the Central Nervous System. The cause for the disease is still unknown, but there have been suggestions and theories that MS can come from genetic and environment factors that maybe involved. No cure has been found to eliminate the disease from a patient’s body, however there is treatment available to alleviate the immense pain of the symptoms and reduce the spread of the disease in the body. Dr. Sandeep Chhabra from the Monash Institute of…

principal regulator of the circadian clock is a group of nerve cells known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is located in the hypothalamus, an area found at the base of the brain that is responsible for controlling the endocrine system. The SCN is connected to the nerve cells in the eyes that send signals to SCN cells when they sense the presence or absence of light. When optic nerve cells sense light in the daytime, SCN cells send efferents in the form of hormones and neuronal…

and Neutrophils using the light microscope at 40x to see presents of the white blood cells (Vale 2013). Cell counting is important in this experiment because it is going to help determine the number of cells found in the wounded site. Cell count can be done manually or automatically (Chung 2015). As stated above, in this experiment I am going to be using the light microscope and manually counting the WBC. By doing the cell count it is going to let us know how well the treatment is working. This…

assumption is that the cells function more effectively with greater proliferation of the lymphocytes. The division is achieved by incubating the lymphocytes with substances called mitogens e.g. phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A). On the other hand, NK cell cytotoxic activity is carried out to ascertain the effectiveness of NK cells in killing altered or damaged cells. To run this assay, effectors (immune cells) are incubated with target cells (for example tumor cells) at…

It categorises a person’s blood type according to the antigens found on the surfaces of their red blood cells. This blood grouping system was discovered in 1901 by Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner (Durand & Willis, 2010) and is a system of classification that still exists today. The ABO blood grouping system is controlled by the ABO gene, which is found on chromosome 9 and has three alleles A, B and O (Farhud…
