INTRODUCTION In this assignment we are going to elaborate on the role of aqueous humor and vitreous humor in maintaining the pressure of the globe, the structures related to the humor, functions of the humors, origin and also pathology related to them. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR The aqueous humour is a transparent fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary epithelium (a structure supporting the lens). It is located in the…

any circulatory system. It provides the muscle power to transport the blood throughout the entire body, even to itself. There are arteries that supply the heart with blood, these are called coronary arteries.They are the bright red blood vessels in the heart. In a closed circulation system, animals possess hearts with distinct chambers. Fish have a two-chambered heart, the two cavities are called the atrium and the ventricle. Blood enters the heart through the atrium and then out through a…

foreign bodies, or immune reactions. The stimulus is recognized by receptors on the surface phagocytes, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells. The two types of the receptors are the toll like receptors and the inflammasomes. The toll like receptors recognize bacterial and virus DNA and endotoxins and in response produce inflammatory mediators. The inflammasome recognizes microbial or dead cell products or components and elicits a cascade that activates caspase 1 leading to the activation of IL-1…

Although bloodletting is now recognized as dangerous and misleading tradition, it carries a deep and interesting history that deserves to be acknowledged. Bloodletting is the purposeful draining of blood for various medical reasons. Throughout history, the practice has been advised for acne, asthma, cancer, cholera, coma, convulsions, diabetes, epilepsy, gangrene, gout, herpes, indigestion, inflammation prevention, insanity, jaundice, leprosy, plague, pneumonia, scurvy, smallpox, stroke, tetanus…

In some of these cases, this may be due to gonadal mosaicism in the mother. Mosaicism is a phenomenon where more than one set of genetic information can only be found in gamete cells. In this manner, mutations not present in the parental DNA can still be passed on to their offspring. While theoretically possible, female manifestation of Barth Syndrome is highly unlikely; however, one notable case was recorded in 2012. The patient…

3/22/17 showed mild diastolic dysfunction with EF of 58%, small left ventricle chamber and had limited images only. He had repeat labs on 3/30/17, showed normal electrolytes, normal liver enzymes with mildly low albumin [3.1], normal CBC with normal white cell count [9.4] and normal thyroid functions…

improve appearance and prevent complications of increased intracranial pressure such as cognitive impairment, auditory and visual loss. Correction of craniosynostosis includes various surgical techniques, some of which are associated with substantial blood loss. Cranial vault remodeling is the historical gold standard for treating this condition and yields predictable results in terms of cranial shape and volume expansion. The technique involves wide scalp dissections with multiple osteotomies…

contract slowly but can contract repeatedly over long periods. These fibres would be suitable for an athlete such as a marathon runner because this is an endurance sporting event that requires you to use aerobic energy which relies on oxygen from the blood for the supply of energy. B. Type 2a: These fibres are fast twitch or fast oxidative fibres and are red because of the large number of mitochondria and myoglobin present. They have a high capacity for generating ATP by using both anaerobic…
