Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells in the body. They are produced during normal metabolic processes and can cause oxidative stress. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and prevent or reduce oxidative damage to cells. Common antioxidants include vitamins C and E, and enzymes like superoxide dismutase which help eliminate free radicals and protect the body from diseases linked to oxidative stress.

2) It also explains the visual cycle and how activation of rhodopsin causes hyperpolarization in the rod cell, leading to a receptor potential.
3) Finally, it covers common errors of refraction like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia as well as visual field defects that can result from lesions along the visual pathway from the retina to the visual cortex.
Thalamus .ppt
The thalamus is located in the center of the cerebral hemispheres. It receives sensory input from various areas and projects to different cortical regions. The thalamus and cortex work as a single functional unit, with the thalamus integrating inputs and the cortex performing higher-level processing.
Anatomically, the thalamus is divided into anterior, lateral, and medial groups of nuclei. The lateral group contains sensory relay nuclei that project to sensory cortices. Association nuclei in the medial and dorsal groups integrate sensory and limbic inputs and project to association cortices. Nonspecific nuclei in the intralaminar and midline regions are involved in arousal, emotions, and alertness.

Pulmonary Surfactant for MBBS .pptx
Pulmonary surfactant is produced by type II alveolar cells and acts to reduce surface tension in the lungs. It is composed primarily of phospholipids including dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine and surfactant proteins. Surfactant functions to prevent alveolar collapse during exhalation by reducing surface tension and to maintain uniform alveolar size. Disruption of surfactant production can lead to respiratory distress syndrome in newborns and adults with lung injury.
What does it mean by Patient.pptx
The document discusses key concepts related to patients and illness. It defines a patient as someone suffering from an illness and receiving medical treatment. It describes acute illnesses as short-term and severe, while chronic illnesses persist for over 6 months and may cause disability. The stages of illness behavior are discussed, from initially experiencing symptoms, to assuming the sick role and seeking medical care, becoming dependent on treatment, and recovering. Emotional responses like fear and anxiety are also reviewed.
WBC formation and regulation.pptx

composition of blood.pptx
Blood is a connective tissue composed of plasma and cellular elements. Plasma is 55% of blood and contains water, proteins, nutrients, gases, and electrolytes. Cellular elements include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. White blood cells help fight infection. Platelets help with blood clotting. Blood has many functions including nutrient transport, waste removal, temperature regulation, hormone transport, and immune defense. Anemia is a decrease in red blood cells or hemoglobin and can be caused by blood loss, increased cell destruction, or decreased cell production.
Determination of WBC count by Dr. Pandian M..pptx
The document describes the calculation method for determining white blood cell (WBC) count per cubic millimeter of blood. It involves dividing a central square under the microscope into 25 smaller squares and counting the WBCs in 5 of those squares. This number is then used to calculate the number of WBCs in 1/50 cubic millimeter, and through multiplication, the number of WBCs per cubic millimeter of undiluted blood is determined based on the dilution used during sample preparation.
PLATELET COUNT by Dr. Pandian M .pptx
Dr. Pandian M describes the procedure for performing a platelet count. Platelets serve important hemostatic functions and their normal range is 1.5-4 lakhs/cumm. The procedure involves mixing blood with a diluting fluid in a Neubauer chamber, then counting platelets in grid squares under a microscope. For the sample, 40 platelets were counted in 1/50 mm3, indicating a platelet count of 2 lakhs/mm3 of blood, within the normal range. Abnormally high or low platelet counts can occur due to various bone marrow and other disorders.
Growth by Dr. Pandian M.
Microbial growth involves an increase in cell number through cell division. There are four phases of bacterial growth in a batch culture: lag phase, exponential/log phase, stationary phase, and death phase. During exponential phase, the population doubles in each generation time. Environmental factors like temperature, pH, oxygen levels, and nutrients influence microbial growth rates.
Fever by Dr. Pandian M.
The document discusses body temperature regulation and fever. It defines fever as an elevation of body temperature caused by the hypothalamic temperature regulation center raising its set point in response to pyrogens. The thermoregulatory center maintains core temperature within a normal range through mechanisms that conserve or dissipate heat. Fever has benefits like enhancing immunity but can also cause dehydration and increased metabolism.
Excretory system by Dr. Pandian M.
The excretory system removes waste from the body and regulates water balance and salt concentration. It includes the lungs, skin, liver, and kidneys, which work together to filter the blood and produce urine. The kidneys are essential organs that remove toxins and excess water from the blood to produce urine, which is then expelled from the body.
Examination of mental functions by Dr. Pandian M.
The document discusses examination of higher cerebral functions including:
- Performing standardized tests like the Mini-Mental State Examination to assess cognition, attention, memory, and mood.
- Using bedside tests to evaluate attention, memory, language, reasoning, affect, and hemispheric dominance.
- Attention should be assessed systematically starting from level of consciousness to directed attention and cognition.
- Thorough history taking and observation of patient behavior during examination provides important information.

This document summarizes the 4 main types of tissues in the body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. It provides details on epithelial tissues, which are sheets of cells that cover and line body surfaces. There are two main classes of epithelium - simple, with one layer of cells, and stratified, with multiple layers. Examples of different epithelial cell shapes and tissues are given. The roles of cell junctions and features of the apical, lateral, and basal surfaces of epithelial cells are also described briefly. Glands are mentioned as a specialized type of epithelial tissue.
Introduction to Endocrine Dr. Pandian M.
Arnold Berthold conducted early endocrine experiments in 1849 showing that castration caused changes in roosters that could be reversed by testicular extracts, demonstrating the endocrine role of the testes. Claude Bernard established that hormones travel via blood to regulate the internal environment. The endocrine and nervous systems both integrate stimuli and responses but differ in their modes of communication. Hormones are categorized into peptides/proteins, amino acid derivatives, steroids, and fatty acid derivatives. Key aspects of hormone function, synthesis, regulation, and control are discussed.
Endocrine applied physiology – disorders BY Dr. PANDIAN M
Gigantism and acromegaly are disorders caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Gigantism occurs when excess growth hormone is secreted during childhood, leading to abnormal growth and extremely tall stature over 7 feet. Acromegaly occurs when excess growth hormone is secreted in adulthood, after bone growth plates have fused, resulting in thickening of bones in hands, feet, and face. Dwarfism is caused by hyposecretion of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary during childhood, leading to stunted growth. Cretinism is a form of dwarfism caused by congenital hypothyroidism.
Digestion, absorption BY Dr. PANDIAN M
Digestion, absorption and metabolism refers to the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in the body. Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars like glucose, proteins into amino acids, and lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. These smaller molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body to be used for energy, structure, and other functions.
Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
2nd-generation Antihistaminic Part I.pptx
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
