The respiratory system is adapted for gas exchange between the air and blood. Oxygen diffuses into the alveoli and into blood capillaries, while carbon dioxide diffuses out. The diaphragm and intercostal muscles drive breathing by expanding the lungs to inhale air and relaxing to exhale. Gas exchange occurs through the thin walls of alveoli surrounded by capillaries, allowing oxygenation of blood and removal of carbon dioxide.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance

3. The intercoursal muscles, attached between the ribs, move the rib cage
up and down
The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle at the base of the rib cage
Cillia in the nose warms the air allowing it to absorb into the blood
quicker
each alveolus is covered in a net of thin-walled (one cell thick) blood
capillary
4. Alveolus structure
Oxygen diffuses through the alveolus & capillary linings and attaches to
red blood cells
At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses from the plasma into the
alveolus
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high
concentration to a region of lower concentration
6. Preventing infection
The lining cells of the nose, trachea and bronchi produce a sticky mucus
that traps dust and germs
White blood cells in the alveoli can engulf bacteria and foreign matters
7. How are the lungs adapted for their function
Alveoli have a large surface area
Short distance between air and blood
1 cell thick
Rich blood supply
Walls of alveoli are elastic
8. Composition of air in the lungs (% volume)
Inhaled air Exhaled air
Oxygen 21 16
Carbon dioxide 0.04 4
Nitrogen 79 79
Water vapour Varies saturated
9. Inhaling (inspiration)
The brain sends signals to the rib muscles and diaphragm to contract
The ribs are pulled up and out, and the diaphragm flattens downwards
The volume of the chest increases
Air pressure drops in the lungs
More air drawn into the lungs and alveoli
11. Transport of oxygen in the blood
Red blood cells have haemoglobin in them
Red blood cells carry 97% of the oxygen
The other 3% is carried in the plasma
12. Transport of carbon dioxide
Most is carried in the plasma as bicarbonate ions or as dissolved carbon
dioxide
A small % is carried by the red blood cells
13. Exhaling
The rib muscles and diaphragm relax, springing back to their original
position
Air pressure in the lungs increases
Air is pushed out from the alveoli
14. Voice box
Made up of two sheets of muscles
Vibrates as the air passes between them
Produce sounds & speech, in co-operation with our mouth, tongue and
teeth
We breath automatically by involuntary reflex action
Controlled by medulla oblangata of the brain
15. Role of the brain in breathing
Mostly our breathing rhythm is unconsciously set by the brain
We can voluntarily change the rate at which we breath
You can’t hold your breath forever
Your brain won’t let you
16. Why can’t you stop breathing?
When you hold your breath
Carbon Dioxide levels rises in your blood
This triggers the medulla oblangata in your brain to make you breath
You end you gasping for breath
17. Breathing disorders
Asthma – inflammation & constriction of bronchi
Bronchitis
Emphysema – destruction of alveoli
TB – elasticity reduced (bacteria)
Pneumonia – fills with fluid
18. Asthma
Cause: narrowing of the bronchioles due to some irritant (dust mite, pollen,
cold virus). Sufferer finds it difficult to inhale oxygen
Prevention: removing the offending agent
Treatment: inhalers
