Other signs arise from either anemia or blockage includes vision problems, fever, pale skin, jaundice, or…

Lipids: Lipids have a hydrophobic nature because of the predominantly of hydrocarbon chains in their structure. They are insoluble or poorly soluble in water, but readily soluble in non polar solvents such as ether and benzene. Characteristics of Lipids:  Amphiphatic  Naturally occurring  Soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water  Undergo saponification  Undergo emulsification Classification and biological functions of Lipids: • Fatty Acids:  Energy sources  Biosynthetic…

all of the body systems to help maintain homeostasis starting with nonspecific defenses such as skin where that acts as a barrier to incoming pathogens. Antigens and pathogens that pass through that barrier are transported to the lymph nodes and the spleen where filtering and eradication occur where harmful antigens and pathogens are then tagged for destruction. The destruction is performed by immune cells such as phagocytes and…

severe, life-threatening, penetrating and blunt force injuries. The job as a trauma surgeon involves operating on critical, and often multiple injuries to different organ systems. Today, some organs that are commonly operated on are: the pancreas, spleen, stomach, and the colon (study.com). Dr. George…

It was hypothesised that the ventricle of the Bufo marinus would have a greater mass (g) in comparison to the atrium. Prediction of results You predicted that: It was predicted that the ventricle has a greater mass than the atrium of the Bufo marinus. Materials and methods 2 The Bufo marinus was firstly double pithed then opened via surgical scissors and tweezers to expose the abdominal cavity. The heart was located and the connective tissue surrounding the heart was removed so the heart…

A 51 year old Hispanic woman was readmitted for the fifth time, with nausea, vomiting, diffuse abdominal pain and diarrhea. During her initial presentation, she was diagnosed with Clostridium difficle colitis (C diff) and during the subsequent admissions, she remained positive for C diff and is currently on a vancomycin taper for treatment of recurrent C diff. Over the past several admissions, she was found to have bacteremia with organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Eubacterium lentum,…

In Cystic Fibrosis, symptoms start slowly. The respiratory tract (nose to lungs) and the gastrointestinal (digestive) systems are the most affected. Symptoms usually start in the gastrointestinal system. Male fertility and sweat glands are also affected. Only about fifteen percent of babies who carry the disease have meconium ileus which is sticky and thick caused by thick mucus from intestinal glands. Vomiting and abdominal swelling are caused and surgery right after birth is needed usually. If…

headaches, lung problems, confusion, seizures, poor coordination, or blurred vision. Babies can also have their own set of symptoms when infected with the t. gondii Parasite such as jaundice, severe eye infections, seizures, or an enlarged liver or spleen.

Pregnant women and infants are harder to treat due to…

The Bubonic Plague is a bacteria known as Yersinia Pestis that infects the lymphatic system causing it to become inflamed (Tonsils, Adenoids, Spleen, and Thymus). The bacteria needs calcium to grow but when there is no calcium it produces amino acids called aspartic acid. Aspartic acid raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. This excess can lead to damage of sensitive neurons. It can also help generate cellular energy, balance neurochemistry, and help the liver rid the body of…
