Shingles is an acute inflammatory condition of the dorsal root ganglia, which causes the nerve cells on a spinal nerve to become inflamed (Nazarko, 2013). People develop chickenpox when they first exposure to herpes virus in childhood. When they recover from chickenpox, the virus remains in the spinal nerves in a dormant form. People with healthy immune systems keep the virus dormant with no symptoms of shingles. When people are in immune depressive status or when people are aging, they have…

Repair of membrane is carried out by exocytosis of different intracellular vesicles provoked by rapid calcium. This results in membrane patch being formed to reseal damaged area of the membrane. Findings indicated that dysferlin play a vital role in muscle repairing process. They possibly play a part as a calcium sensor that provokes fusing of vesicle. These findings of functions are not proven however it is based on findings regarding the structure of dysferlin…

1. A salivary gland is stimulated by its parasympathetic nerve. a) Describe the organization of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system that largely acts involuntarily. It consists of nerves in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, exocrine and endocrine glands. The main visceral activities are temperature regulation, digestion, blood pressure and genitourinary function. The second main division of the…

Mojave Toxin in the Mojave Rattlesnake Neurotoxins are an often studied, naturally occurring set of chemicals with vast potential toward a variety of applications. These toxins are produced by countless different species of animals: amphibians, insects, arachnids, and even birds, just to name a few. Neurotoxins, a specific class of toxins, act by impairing or artificially enhancing neurotransmission at the pre-synaptic or post-synaptic level (Camp & Gilbert, 2014, para. 1-5). Neurotoxins…

because of heart pain. Most people who complain of this pain are hypertensive. This means that they have high blood pressure caused by the constriction of blood vessels. Since the overall diameter of the blood vesicle is decreased, the sickle cells are more prone to lyse the blood vesicle. 1, 3,…

a form of endocytosis, when bacteria enters the human body, the plasma membrane engulfs the microbes by a membrane called pseudopodia. The membrane folds inwards to form a vesicle known as phagosomes. Phagosomes then leaves the plasma membrane to enter the cytoplasm which then fuses with the lysosome to form a protective vesicle. The importance of the process of phagocytosis is to fight of bacteria. It acts as a defensive role to the body, an example of this is the white blood…

Blood sugar regulation is the process by which the levels of blood sugar, primarily glucose, are maintained by the body within a narrow range. This phenomenon of tight regulation is commonly referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin and glucagon are the most well-known of the hormones involved. Blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in homeostasis. The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by many tissues, but the cells in the pancreas's Islets…

Chickenpox’s causative microbe name is known as Varicella-Zoster virus. In the medical field its terminology is known as Varicella. Chickenpox is well acknowledged as one of the numerous childhood diseases that produces skin lesions (Bauman, 2014). Varicella is highly contagious because the virus can spread in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread by touching or even breathing in the virus from the varicella lesions (Clinical Overview, 2013). Varicella is…

catecholamines (VanMeter & Hubert, 2014, p. 423). According to a research article written by Eric Grouzmann (2015), “In chromaffin cells and pheochromocytes, norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) are stored in vesicles where they sustain a passive leakage into the cytoplasm before being recaptured in the vesicle pool” (p.2). This is important because, the enzyme responsible for transforming norepinephrine into epinephrine is only in the adrenal medulla and is…
