Rabies is caused by a virus of the same name that is shaped like a bullet; it is oblong on one end and flat or concave on the other. The the surface of the virus, expect the flat end, is covered in knobs of glycoprotein. The rabies virus is most commonly transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal. Though transmission has occurred through transplantation, this occurrences are extremely rare and the virus and subsequent disease are overwhelmingly transmitted by any warm blooded animal.…

Bullying primarily affects the CNS (central nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system) of an individual which activates the hormonal glands. Therefore it will start to secrete certain stress hormones in adequate amount that will have negative effect on behaviour of the child. Mental and physical stressors, for example, being the objective of tormenting, actuate the anxiety framework focused on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) hub (Dallman et al., 2003; McEwen and McEwen, 2015).…

at the edge which is called papillae. Also, many different types of glands were observed in oral cavity. Three major glands(Figure 3, Figure 4) were found during dissection which were the parotid gland, the mandibular gland, and the sublingual gland. The parotid gland was found under the ear which produces saliva and amylase. The mandibular gland was salivary gland that helps to bind food together into a bolus. The sublingual gland opens bottom of the…

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…

he entered the room with his dog and his dog would begin to salivate. In behaviourist terms: Unconditioned Stimulus (food) > Unconditioned Response (salivate) Pavlov showed the unconditioned response by giving a dog of food and measuring its salivary secretions. Though, when Pavlov discovered that if any object or event which the dogs learnt to associate with food, the dogs would most always start to…

or if there were some setbacks. 3. Name five organs that secrete digestive juices and describe how these juices and enzymes facilitate digestion. Salivary Glands The cheeks, under the tongue and around the jaw contain the core salivary glands in the human body. Amylase is an enzyme in saliva that breaks down carbohydrates. Lysozyme is another salivary enzyme, which helps to keep the mouth germ free. Saliva also contains mucus, which coats the food and allows each bite to travel smoothly through…

brain damage, and blindness. Until the discovery of penicillin, it could not be cured by treatment. They also spread mumps, which is a more common virus, even today. According to The Disease Book by Margaret Hyde, “Painful swelling of the salivary glands is a chief sign of mumps. It is a viral disease that can be spread by direct contact or through the air.” The Bubonic Plague was also transferred to…

involuntary and voluntary actions. Many people go through a process called GERD that happens in the esophageal phase. The first part of the deglutition phase is the oral process. This is when food is placed in the mouth and is moisten from saliva glands. The mastication process is started here by chewing the food that was placed in the mouth. The food is chewed and formed into a bolus. The bolus is then passed from…

it indicate the previous disease but not the activity or the presence of a new one.(34) Serum CRP has been accepted as an accurate measure for systemic inflammation.(35) In addition to serum CRP, salivary CRP can be used to monitor periodontal disease.(36) CRP may reach saliva via GCF or salivary glands. Recent studies evaluate the level of CRP in saliva and found a significant elevation in patients compare to control…
