that needs cleaning up, but it doesn’t require much. A carpet cleaning company can do the work. However, crime scene cleanup can be as complicated as someone shot or beaten in your home or office. This type of crime scene cleanup deals with bodily fluids and hazardous waste. You need a special company to answer this call. Because this is not something you normally
Fluid Compartments The two main fluid compartments in the body include the intracellular and extracellular compartments. Fluid within the cells is intracellular fluid and fluid outside the cells is extracellular fluid. The extracellular compartment is further divided into three categories, which includes interstitial, intravascular, and transcellular. The interstitial fluid lies within the tissue spaces, the intravascular fluid lies within the blood vessels, and the transcellular compartment holds
Fluid within the articular cartilage accounts for up to 80% of the entire weight, and provides lubrication and opposition against friction. Collagen is the second most numerous structure by weight within articular cartilage and functions to provide the cartilage with tensile strength. Type II collagen is by far the most numerous type, accounting for 90-95% of the total collagen within the extracellular matrix and articular cartilage. Proteoglycans
Introduction The immune system is a versatile defence system that has evolved to protect animals from invading pathogenic microorganisms. It generates an enormous variety of cells and molecules capable of specifically recognizing and eliminating an apparently limitless variety of foreign invaders. The immune system is highly specific. In present time it can be clearly noticed that every individual generally falls the victim of many viruses and infectious diseases. But whatever is the case, if we
Pathology is a scientific discipline involves study of diseases such as cancers and infections in genetic, molecular, cellular and organ levels. Pathology involves examination of tissue, bodily fluid, organs, and autopsies in order to diagnose the disease. A pathology study examine how and why the disease develop, the process of the disease, and effects of the disease including its symptoms and complications involved. An understanding of diseases is important as it contributes to diagnostic tests
The bodies of these motor neurons are located in the ventral horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord. These motor neurons and muscle fibers combine to form a motor unit and once innervated, groups of motor units coordinate to perform a muscle contraction
A&A2- How the body defends itself against infection An infectious disease is caused by pathogens. Many pathogens do not cause harm as the human body has physical, chemical and cellular defences that prevent these pathogens from entering the body. If pathogens do enter, then the immune system can prevent them from spreading through the body. The immune system is involved in the recognition and rejection of foreign cells and tissues. Most of the white blood cells of the immune system recognise a foreign
INTRODUCTION Glaucoma can be defined as the group of eye diseases having optic neuropathy as a common characteristic resulting in progressive visual loss. Glaucoma causes structural and functional changes as well as damage to the optic nerve, optic disc and the nerve fiber layer eventually leading to blindness if untreated in time. These changes usually occur as a result of the raised intraocular pressure. Elevation of the IOP is secondary to the reduced drainage of the aqueous humor through the
Intermolecular forces play a large role in the chemistry of life. Since the chemicals in living organisms are constantly being broken down, assembled and transported, many molecular interactions utilize intermolecular forces rather than high energy covalent and ionic bonds. One of the most important products of chemistry in living organisms is the phospholipid bilayer. This forms the structure of the plasma membrane that encloses all cells. The plasma membrane regulates the passage of molecules
The result of drug interaction become harmful if the interaction causes an increase in the toxicity of the drug, However, a decrease in clinical response to drug can be occur and sometimes can be dangerous especially in the chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. These undesirable and unbeneficial adverse side effects for drug interactions. Contrariwise, there are other drug interaction that are wanted and beneficial, like the co-administration of diuretics and antihypertensive (Hydrochlorothiazide
