The retina is the sensory membrane that lines the inner surface of the back of the eyeball. It's composed of several layers, including one that contains specialized cells called photoreceptors.
Photoreceptor cells take light focused by the cornea and lens and convert it into chemical and nervous signals which are transported to visual centers in the brain by way of the optic nerve.
In the visual cortex of the brain (which, ironically, is located in the back of the brain), these signals are converted into images and visual perceptions.
Cornea is the clear front surface of the eye. It lies directly in front of the iris and pupil, and it allows light to enter the eye.
Cornea forms the transparent and anterior 1/6th of the external fibrous coat of the globe of the eyeball.
The cornea is the eye's most powerful structure for focusing light that provides approximately 65 to 75 percent of the focusing power of the eye.
The cornea has unmyelinated nerve endings sensitive to touch, temperature and chemicals; a touch of the cornea causes an involuntary reflex to close the eyelid.
Each eyelid contains a fibrous plate, called a tarsus, that gives it structure and shape; muscles, which move the eyelids; and meibomian (or tarsal) glands, which secrete lubricating fluids. The lids are covered with skin, lined with mucous membrane, and bordered with a fringe of hairs, the eyelashes.

The mucose membrane lining of gastrointestinal tract is stratified squamous epithelium at the esophagus which slowly convert into simple columnar epithelium at the stomach until the anus it converts back into the stratified squamous epithelium at the lower half of the anal canal. The stratified epithelium is a wear and tear epithelium.
As it passes down from the small to large intestine, goblet cells increase because as it passes down water was absorb, goblet cells function to produce mucous.

Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
3. Characteristics of the epithelial cells:
They are tightly packed together with very little intercellular
matrix. (Intercellular junctions: t ight j unct ions, zonulae
adherent es, desm osom es, gap j unct ions).
Epithelia are derived from all t hree em bryonic germ layers.
The principal functions of epithelial tissues are covering and
lining of surfaces (cove r in g e pit h e lia ), absorpt ion of
subtances (a bsor pt ive e pit h e liu m ), secret ion of
substances (gla n du la r e pit h e liu m ), sensation (sensory
epithelium/neuroepithelium).
The epithelial cells rest on a basem ent m em brane (lamina
lucida + lamina densa + lamina fibroreticularis), and are
connected to this membrane by hemi- desmosomes.
The apical surface of the epithelial cells may be equipped
with structures that greatly increase t he surface area
(microvilli, stereocilia), and structures which are
responsible for motility (kinocilia, flagellum).
4. The simple squamous epithelium consists of a single row of
flattened cells. In cross section the cytoplasm of these cells
is extremely attenuated, so that it is hardly visible. The part
of the cell containing the nucleus is enlarged, the nucleus
stands out in relief.
Location: squamous alveolar cells in the lung (type I
pneumocytes), parietal wall of the renal Bowman capsule,
the narrow segment of renal loop of Henle.
Special types of simple squamous epithelium:
1. Endothelium: epithelium lining the inner surface of the
heart and blood vessels
2. Mesothelium: epithelium of serous membranes lining
certain body cavities (pericardium, pleura, peritoneum)
5. Simple squamous epithelium
1.Mesenterium (Ag)
Actually it is not a section,
but a very thinly stretched
membrane (mesenterium
of frog or rat), and each
side of this membrane
presents mesothel cells
arranged mosaically, side
by side.
Mesothel
cells
The cell-boundaries are
visible by silver nitrate
treatment as silver
granules deposit in the
intercellular spaces.
6. It is formed by one row of cuboidal cells that possess
spherical nuclei .
Location:
Follicles of the thyroid gland
Distal and proximal renal tubules
Epithelium germinativum covering the ovary
Amniotic epithelium
The cuboidal cells may have resorbing function,
presenting m icr o villi attached to their apical surface
(e.g. proximal renal tubules).
7. Simple cuboidal epithelium:
68. Thyroid gland (HE)
The simple cuboidal
epithelium of the follicles
represent an epithelium of
both covering and
endocrine glandular type
involved in the secretion of
thyroxin. The cells are
flattened in hypofunction
of the gland, and they are
Cell nuclei Follicles taller in hyperfunction.
The cell boundaries are
hardly visible, and the
cuboidal epithelium might
be recognized according to
the spherical shape of the
nuclei.
8. Simple columnar epithelium:
It consists of a single row of cells that have cylindrical or
prismatic shape and oval nuclei.
Location:
In the digestive tract from the cardia to the anal canal.
Striated ducts of the salivary glands
Epithelium of the uterus
Cells that have resorbing function present brush border
formed by microvilli that are disposed on the apical surface.
Location of the simple columnar epithelium with brush
border:
Small and large intestine
Location of the simple ciliated columnar epithelium:
Oviduct
9. Simple columnar epithelium:
49. Gallbladder (HE)
Oval cell nuclei The inner surface of the
gallbladder is lined by
simple columnar
epithelium equipped with
brush border.
The cell boundaries are not
clearly visible, but this
form of epithelium may be
recognized by the oval
nuclei disposed in one row.
The brush border exhibits
positive PAS reaction.
10. The cells form a single row, but their nuclei are disposed at
different levels so that it gives the illusion of stratification.
Every cell is lying on the basal membrane, that s why this is
a type of simple epithelium. Cells that reach the surface
usually present cilia.
Location of the pseudostratified epithelium with stereocilia:
Ductus epididymidis
Ductus deferens
Location of the pseudostratified epithelium with kinocilia:
Respiratory tract to bronchioles
Auditory tube, lining of the tympanic cavity
Inner surface of the lacrimal sac
