1. Cellular respiration involves three main phases - glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
2. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP. The citric acid cycle further breaks down pyruvic acid and produces more ATP and electron carriers.
3. The electron transport chain uses oxygen to produce the most ATP by shuttling electrons and pumping protons across membranes, building an electrochemical gradient used to synthesize ATP through chemiosmosis.
The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that make up the axial and appendicular skeleton. Bones provide structure, movement, protection and store minerals. There are two types of bones - compact bone which is dense and spongy bone which is porous. Bones develop through intramembranous or endochondral ossification, with long bones forming around cartilage models. Bone growth occurs at the epiphyseal plate until skeletal maturity at age 25. Homeostasis maintains bone mass through the actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts regulated by hormones. Nutritional deficiencies or excesses can impact bone development.

An ideal waste management system minimizes environmental impacts and maximizes resource recovery. In India, most cities currently have crude waste disposal practices. Integrated solid waste management aims to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste through various approaches. Special types of waste like e-waste, hazardous waste, and biomedical waste require specific management and disposal methods due to their harmful effects.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."

Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

6.1: Introduction
• Two or more kinds of tissues grouped together and
performing specialized functions constitutes an organ.
• The skin and its various structures make up the
integumentary system.
3. 3
6.2: Skin and Its Tissues
• Composed of several tissue types
• Maintains homeostasis
• Protective covering
• Retards water loss
• Regulates body temperature
• Houses sensory receptors
• Contains immune system cells
• Synthesizes chemicals
• Excretes small amounts of wastes
4. 4
Skin Cells
• Help produce Vitamin D needed for normal bone
and tooth development
• Some cells (keratinocytes) produce substances
that simulate development of some white blood
cells
12. 12
6.3: Accessory Structures
of the Skin
• Accessory structures of the skin originate from the
epidermis and include:
• Hair follicles
• Nails
• Skin glands
17. 17
6.4: Regulation of
Body Temperature
• Regulation of body temperature is vitally important
because even slight shifts can disrupt metabolic reactions.
19. 19
Heat Production and Loss
• Heat is a product of cellular metabolism
• The most active body cells are the heat producers and
include:
• Skeletal muscle
• Cardiac muscle
• Cells of certain glands such as the liver
• The primary means of heat loss is radiation
• Also there is conduction, convection and evaporation
21. 21
6.5: Healing of Wounds and Burns
• Inflammation is a normal response to injury or stress.
• Blood vessels in affected tissues dilate and become more
permeable, allowing fluids to leak into the damaged tissues.
• Inflammed skin may become:
• Reddened
• Swollen
• Warm
• Painful
