Synthetic Fibers And Its Effects On The Body
2.2.2.2Elastic fibres
Elastic fibres are 1 Вµm to 3Вµm in diameter and are loosely arranged in all directions in the dermis [90]. These fibres are scattered among the
collagen bundles and become thicker in the deeper layers of the dermis [90]. Elastic fibres, as their name indicates, are extremely elastic and help in
the elastic recoil of the skin and that is the reason why they are more abundant in the dermis of the face, scalp and the extensible organs, such as tendons
and arteries [91, 92].
2.2.2.3Extrafibrillar matrix
The extrafibrillar matrix includes a ground substance (glycosaminoglycans), dermal fibroblasts, dendritic cells, mast cells, histiocytes, blood vessels,
nerves, and lymphatics [85]. Ground substance is a gelatinous amorphous substance of sugar and proteins (glycoproteins and proteoglycans) that is
observed between the fibres and between the cells. It provides support to the dermis and has an extraordinary capacity to store water. Moreover, it
facilitates the passage of nutrients, hormones, and other molecules through the dermis [72, 73].
Fibroblasts, the major cell type of the dermis, produce and maintain most of the ECM proteins. Indeed, they produce collagen, elastic fibres, and
glycosaminoglycan [93]. The dermal fibroblasts are differentiated from the mesenchymal cells and appear as thin spindle–shaped cells. The dermis
includes other types of cell such histiocytes, mast cells and dermal dendritic cells. Histiocytes are star–shaped cells with a small

Cellular adaptations of growth and differentiation
In order to function properly, the cells and tissues have to maintain a steady state (homeostasis)– the cells must constantly adapt cellular adaptation– is
the state between a normal unstressed cell and the overstressed injured cell –by definition – an adaptative process is reversible –within defined limits,
all the cells are capable of adapting to a variety of stimuli which may upset normality
NORMAL CELL GROWTH –Normal tissue growth depends on a balance between the number of cells actively dividing and the number of the cells
dying –the cells of the body can be divided into 3 groups on the basis of their regenerative capacity– they respond differently to stress and injury ...

Atrophy – is a decrease in the size of tissue or organ resulting from decrease either in the size of individual cells or in the number of cells composing
the tissue atrophy– decrease in size of normally developed organ. It is different from agenesis, aplasia, hypoplasia which are abnormalities of organ
development. atrophy– decrease in the size of the cell results from the loss or reduction of cell substances, reduction of the number of cytoplasmic
organelles associated with diminished cell function
Atrophy represents a reduction of cell structural components –less mitochondria –less endoplasmic reticulum –fewer myofilaments metabolic rate is
reduced –less amino acid uptake –less oxygen consumption –less protein synthesis
Degenerating organelles are taken up in lysosomal vacuoles for enzymatic digestion, process is represented by –marked increase in the number of
autophagic vacuoles –many autophagic vacuoles may resist digestion–residual bodies some of them contain lipofuscin granules–brown atrophy
–atrophy may progress to cell injury and death, a decrease in cell number results from cell death due to irreversible cell injury –when sufficient number

Understanding Development Of Emphysema Through Imaging
Understanding Development of Emphysema through Imaging Started in 2012 when I was accepted to the University of Maine, in the school of
Biology and Ecology. I had envisioned myself as a medical professional or conducting some type of research that could have an impact on modern
society. Taking course after course, learning basic biology, to medical physiology, and eventually applying those concepts into my own research. Mouse
lung tissue is the starting point of my research. By creating a histological slide of this lung tissue, I was able to have a control for a healthy mouse
lung. Identifying major structures such as, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. My intent for this research is to apply my findings, and compare them to
other imaging techniques used on mouse lungs. With the prime focus on the effects of smoking with the leading of emphysema. Emphysema is
common, yet serious condition that is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is so serious because it can enlarge and eventually destroy air
spaces within the lungs. This disease effects millions of people in the United States, and is the third leading cause in the United States. Smoking is the
leading cause of this condition. Understanding how COPD works, it helps to know how the lungs work as well. When you inhale air, that air is sent
down your windpipe, or trachea, into tubes called bronchi. These bronchial tubes then branch into the lungs by getting smaller, thinner and by the

Cilia Are Tiny Hairs Of The Respiratory Tract By Capturing...
What are cilia?
Cilia are tiny hairs, which protect parts of the respiratory tract by capturing particles, which has entered the body by using a sweeping movement to
keep the particles such as dust and debris out of the lungs. The cilia are found attached to the apical surface of the cell. For example, dust that has
been breathed in through the nose would be captured to stop it going even further. There are roughly 200 to 300 tiny hairs on the cell.
Non–ciliated simple columnar epithelial tissue
Non–ciliated simple columnar epithelial tissue is found on the lining digestive tract, which is the stomach, gall bladder and the excretory ducts of some
glands. It is a tube, which transfers food to the digestive organs. It also contains a nucleus at its base, has a single layer of cells however are not
ciliated; they do not contain tiny hairs. It also has microvilli to increase the surface area and to make the absorption more effective, the microvilli can
also be referred to as the brush border due to its hairy appearance.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue
The Pseudostratified columnar epithelium tissue that lines the trachea and upper respiratory tract contains many goblet cells. They are unevenly shaped
due to the nucleus that is positioned in different places within the cells; it is this that makes the cells look as if it has many layers, however it only has
one layer that stretches between the apical surface and basement membrane. It secretes mucus and can

Glomerular Filtration : The Major Function Of The Glomerulus
Glomerular filtration
The major function of the glomerulus is to produce an ultrafiltrate from the blood using the glomerular capillary wall(GCW) as a filter by a process
differs from the transcapillary exchange process as in other organs in two ways. First, the GCW almost completely excludes plasma proteins of the
size of albumin (radius 36Г…) or larger from the filtrate. Second, the glomeruli exhibit an extraordinary high permeability–surface area productto water
and small solutes and also a very high capillary filtration capacity (Anderson et al. 2000)вЃ .
Fluid movement across the glomerulus is, similar to the conditions in other capillaries, governed by the Starling forces, i.e. the effective hydrostatic
pressure gradient minus the effective oncotic pressure gradient. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can thus be described by:
GFR = LpS Г— ( ∆ P в€’ ∆О
)
Where, Lp represent the hydraulic conductivity of the GCW, and S is the surface area available for filtration. ∆ P denotes the hydrostatic pressure in
the glomerular capillaries minus the hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman's space, and ∆Πthe effective oncotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries
minus that in the Bowman's space. If LpS is 4 ml/min/mmHg/100g of kidney weight in humans, and ∆ P ≈ (52
–15) mmHg, while ∆Π≈
(28–0) mmHg, then, the GFR in man equals 4 x 3 x [(52–15) – (28–0)] ≈ 120 ml/min. GFR can be measured clinically using molecules that are

The Basic Types Of Tissue
Tissue
In humans, there are four basic types of tissue:
1.Connective tissue
2.Muscle tissue
3.Nervous tissue
4.Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue & subtypes
The epithelial tissue covers inner and outer layer/surface of the body, e.g. the stomach, or blood lines, vessels and the lung.
The epithelium consists of closely packed, flattened cells that make up the inside/ outside lining of body areas. Epithelial tissues that cover/line surfaces
are classified by cell shape and by the number of cell layers, the image on the left is the subtypes of epithelial tissue;
Squamous – flattened cells, fried egg shape in appearance. The nucleus is flattened and centrally located. Because of their thin membrane and large
surface area, it allows passage of small molecules e.g. air diffusion in the lungs. The function of simple squamous tissue is absorption & excretion of
gases lungs. And the function of stratified squamous is protection due to its many layers and is located in the outer layer of skin, oral cavity lining,
esophagus, vaginal & anal canal.
Cuboidal– cubed or squarish shaped, has a single nucleus located in the middle. The simple cuboidal tissue can be found in the lines of kidney tubules
and glands it's function is absorption, secretion and protection. The stratified cuboidal tissue is found in the lines ducts of sweat glands, it's job is to
secrete water & ions.

It is made up of either liquid, solid, or connective tissue, within the matrix there are many types of connecting fibres, such as collagen and elastic fibres.
The function of the connective tissue is to support, bind, cover, protect and give structure to the body.
Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective
tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, areolar, adipose bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms
of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue.
Cartilage tissue is a smooth, firm substance that protects ends of the bones from friction during movement and they can be found at the end of our
bones in mobile joints, the front ends of the ribs, also in parts of our nose and ears.
Our bone tissues are made of a much harder substance than the cartilage, but they can be worn away by friction. They are tough on the outside, but on
the inside they have a sponge–like design that helps to reduce the weight while retaining strength. They are designed to maintain the body's structure
and support the body's movement and are used to protect weaker tissues, such as the brain, lungs and heart.

Cardiac Muscle Cells
Your heart beats approximately 100,000 times a day to circulate 7570 liters of blood.
Cardiac muscle cells are called Cardiomyocytes. These cells are equipped with specialized organelles such as myofibrils, mitochondria, the
sarcoplasmic reticulum for storage and release of calcium and the sarcolemma which is a membrane that encloses each muscle cell.
Cardiomyocytes have a tremendous amount of mitochondria present inside the cell compared to many other cells, this gives the cardiomyocyte the
ability to be highly resistant to fatigue. Whereas skeletal muscle cells can fatigue much easier.
Cardiomyocytes are very flexible as they shorten and lengthen to perform the mechanical function of a beating heart.

Epithelial Tissues:
Epithelial are the lining of internal and external surfaces and body cavities, including tubes/channels (ducts) carrying secretions from glands. Epithelial
tissues can be made of several layers of cells (called compound epithelia), or a single layer known as simple epithelia. The lowest layer of cells is

The matrix of a tissue can be secreted by the connective tissues within the body. The functions of connective tissues are to transport materials around
the body to give support to the weak areas to protect and support the body.
Body Organs:
The body has different organs that work together and they make up a system such as the
Respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. These are the main systems within the body and
are made up of individual organs that then work together. For instance, the respiratory system is made of the nose, lungs, heart and this lets us breathe.
Blood:
Blood is a bodily fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells within the body. Blood has plasma that lets the different types of blood travel
round the body. Plasma contains proteins that have different functions for the blood– clotting, transporting and defence organisms and osmotic
organisations. The plasma carries the red blood cell which has a elastic membrane so it can fit through the small capillaries within the body. Red
blood cells can be also known as erythrocytes they don't have a nucleus when they are matured which gives a bigger space for oxygen, although as
there is no nuclei the red blood cells can't divide so they only live for around 120 days. Red blood cells gain their colour from haemoglobin,

Columnar Connective Tissue
Tissues are groups of cells with a common structure and function. There are four main tissues in the body which are epithelium, muscle, connective
tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelium functions are It protects us from the outside world. For example, the skin, absorbs the stomach and gut, filters the
kidney, and forms glands traits. It closely attached to each other forming a protective barrier, has no blood vessels but can soak up nutrients from blood
vessels in connective tissue underneath, can have lots of nerves in it, very good at regenerating for example fixing a sunburn or skinned knee. There
are different types of epithelium by shape and cell. The shapes are squamous, cuboidal, and columnar. By cell there is simple and stratified epithelium.
Connective tissue functions are it wraps around and cushions and protects organs, stores nutrients, internal support for organs, as tendon and ligaments
protects joints and attached muscles to bone and each other, and runs through organ capsules and in deep layers of skin giving strength. The three
elements of connective tissue are ground substance, fibers, cells. There are two kinds of Connective Tissue: Loose Connective Tissue which has

B. What can the shape of the cells in a particular type of tissue tell about the function of that tissue?
The shape of the cells in a particular tissue can tell us the function of that particular tissue based on how it can move or communicate with other parts
of the body. For example, a neuron can carry electrical messages from the brain to other parts of the body because these cells are long and thin, making
them mobile.

Abstract Pulmonary carcinoma, also known as Lung Cancer, in among the most prevalent and thermal kinds of cancers in the world. A network around
Matriptase including it 's inhibitor HAI–1, HAI–2 and it 's downstream substrate prostasin play a significant role in both the epithelia construction in
normal epithelial cells and tumor development and progression in cancer cells. My research focuses on the expression of matriptase, HAI–1, HAI–2 and
prostasin in lung cancer cell line NCI–H209, NCI–H292 and NCI–H1944 by means of Western blot and Inmunoflurescense. Antibodies M23, M19 and
DC16 are used to recognize matriptase, HAI–1 and HAI–2, respectively and antibidies YL89, YL11 and YL10 are used to recognize prostasin in both
experiment. All the 4 proteins in the network are detected to express in all cells line used in research and they express both on cells menbrane and
inside cells in NCI–H1944. Both HAI–1 and HAI–2 can act as inhibitors to both matriptase and prostasin while HAI–1 is the predominant inhibitor.
This network should be very essential to the oncogenesis and metastasis of lung cancer cells.

Is Cancer A Genetic Disease?
Introduction Cancer is one of the oldest genetic diseases known to man. Since the evolution of mitosis as a means for cell division and the development
of multicellular eukaryotes – like humans and their biological progenitors – mutations in normal cell maturation and proliferation have resulted in
various types of cancers, some benign but many of which exhibit great malignancy (Hajdu, 2011). Cancer, and one of its more common forms
carcinoma, is characterized as a genetic disease where by mutations – often caused by environmental stressors such as chemical or radiation exposure –
in the development of epithelial cells lead to abnormal growth, either in terms of size or abundance. This abnormal uncontrolled growth is known as
neoplasia (Rock & Hogan, 2011). Carcinoma cells can develop by other methods however, anaplasia for example is the process by which normally
mature differentiated cells begin to lose their form and resemble immature cells lacking proper function, becoming irresponsive to normal stimuli
(Scatena, 2011). Dysplasia is similar in that it consists of a proliferation of immature often undifferentiated cells, eventually outnumbering the number
of mature cells as they 're removed by the process of apoptosis – programmed cell death (Wang, 2010). Eventually the neoplasm, or anaplastic cells,
can replace normal tissue; as apoptosis of cancer cells is non–functioning, the development of a large tumour can inhibit the functionality of healthy

The Hooves Of Horses Are Particularly Prone
The hooves of horses are especially prone to infection, due to their constant exposure to bacteria and sensitivity of the hoof wall to environmental
changes. Abscesses within the hoof may vary in degree, ranging from mild to life threatening. Typically, abscesses occur when bacteria are introduced
into the epithelium of the hoof, where the body responds and produces purulent fluid that effectively forms a pocket. This pocket will become
enlarged with pus and due to the inability of the hoof to expand, pressure will begin to build up and cause pain. Severe lameness and resistance to
bearing weight on the painful hoof is therefore the first sign of an abscess. Normally, the thick outer wall and sole of the hoof protects the more sensitive

The stratum basale and stratum spinosum, and stratum corneum (forms the hoof capsule) are subdivisions of the epidermis. The five regions of the hoof
include the coronary band, the hoof wall, the sole, the frog, and the heel bulbs. Highly specialized subcutaneous tissues within the hoof include the
perioplic tissue, coronary tissue, lamellar tissue, solar tissue, and cuneate tissue.
The outer hoof wall consists of keratinized laminar epithelium that is constantly being regenerated. Regeneration of the hoof wall takes place at the
coronary band where there are basal epithelial cells that produce keratinocytes. Just below the outer hoof wall sits the lamina, connecting the interior
wall to the distal phalanx, and acts to secure the bone in place. The lamellae layers consist of the stratum externum, stratum medium, and stratum
internum (see Figure 1). The laminar layer surrounds the distal phalanx (P3) and makes up the statum internum (lamellatum) of the laminar corium,
consisting of keritanized primary laminae, and non–keratinized secondary laminae. The strong bond between the hoof wall and pedal bone is a result of
interdigitating of the primary and secondary laminae as shown in figure 2 (Ownby, 2002), (Anatomy of the Hoof Capsule, n.d.).

The Small Intestine: The Most Rapidly Dividing Tissue of...
Small intestine is the most rapidly dividing tissue of the body. It undergoes a fast turnover of 3–5 days by Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs), replacing all the
older cells with new ones which is necessary for the nutritional uptake by intestinal cells and thereby, maintaining tissue homeostasis. Small intestinal
epithelium has several crypts/villi structures which inhabits ISCs. Cells are arranged in the order of increasing maturity from bottom to top of each
crypt. ISCs are present at base of each crypt and they give rise to transit–amplifying cells (TA).These transit–amplifying cells divide actively 4–5 times,
approximately after every 12 hours. Further, these cells differentiate to form – enterocytes, goblet cells and entroendocrine cells. ISCs differentiate to
form Paneth cells towards the base of crypt (Marshman et al., 2002).
ISCs were first identified by BrDU label retention method (Cheng and Leblond, 1974). After 30 years, Clevers and colleagues identified ISCs at single
cell resolution by lineage tracing. They found that Lgr5 gene, encoding the leucine–rich repeat–containing G–protein coupled receptor 5, is expressed
in ISCs and LGR5+ cells give rise to all four different kind of intestinal epithelial cells (Barker et al., 2007).In addition, LGR5+ cells cultured in vitro
give rise to organoid expressing all the markers of intestinal epithelium (Sato et al., 2009). Potential stem cell niche for ISCs consist of Paneth cells,

The cornea is part of the ocular surface system and is of vital importance to maintain its slightly dehydrated state (Gipson, 2007). The cornea consists of
layered structures as shown in Figure 3. Corneal epithelium consists of three layers of superficial, wing and basal cells and is the main refractive site of
the eye and is constantly bathed by water (tears) secreted from lacrimal glands (Schey et al, 2014). Keratocytes are scattered among a network of
collagen fibrils which are spaced in the stroma is important in maintaining the transparency of the cornea (ibid). The endothelium layer is immersed in
an aqueous humor and gives access to fluid and nutrients for the cornea (ibid). Changes in the corneal water volume will change the length and spacing
of stromal collagen fibrils which later affects the transparency of the cornea (ibid). Both AQP5 and AQP1 are the major channels for water transport
across the corneal epithelium and endothelium (ibid). AQP5 is responsible for water transport across the corneal epithelium onto the ocular surface due
to the high osmotic pressure of the tear film (ibid). AQP1 facilitates water transport across the corneal endothelium and together with epithelial AQP5,
maintains the slightly dehydrated and transparent stromal layer of the eye

Word Count:1828
Summary
Residence within host gingival epithelia cells provides bacteria with a nutrient–rich, generally reducing environment that is partially protected from the
host immune system. Accessing this secure environment isvital in the early stages of sulcus colonization by periodontal bacteria, as low numbers of
bacteria are susceptible to clearance by immune mechanisms. While this does not immediately contribute to disease, invasive bacteria use the
intracellular location to safely persist and replicate. The main bacteria focused in this essay isP. gingivalis. It is a gram–negative anaerobic bacteria that
is associated with more severe forms of the periodontal disease.P. gingivalisuses many mechanisms for adhesion and internalisation into host cells such
a frimbriae, gingipains, and proteolytic enzymes. These and other processes cause induction of host's immune–inflammatory activity, which affects the
structures supporting the teeth. This may also lead to the destruction of the surrounding bone and connective tissue, and ultimately tooth loss.
Adhesion
Initial interactions with epithelial cells require adhesion. The adhesion in the human oral cavity is essential for the microbial survival, as microbes
have to attach themselves to a host surface before being able to

The Oropharynx : The Area Behind The Oral Cavity
Oropharynx: the oropharynx occupies the area behind the oral cavity, which extends from the uvula to the level of the hyoid bone. Its boundaries are:
anteriorly, the mouth through the isthmus faucium, laterally, is the palatine tonsil, between the palatoglossal arch and the palatopharyngeal arch. The
anterior wall consists of the base of the tongue and the epiglottic vallecula; the lateral wall is made up of the tonsil, tonsillar fossa, and tonsillar
(faucial) pillars; the superior wall consists of the inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula1'2. Groups of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the
pharynx surround the entrance of the throat in a ring–like positioning, known as Waldeyer 's Ring. They are three groups: –1– Palatine tonsils, the most
protruding groups in the ring and form recognizable masses, (also known as the tonsils), –2– Pharyngeal tonsil (also known as the "adenoids"), and the

A Family Of Transcription Factors
Introduction
1. The Grainyhead (Grh) gene family
Grainyhead (Grh) genes are conserved in metazoans. They encode a family of transcription factors with a unique, unusually large, DNA–binding and
dimerization domain, and an isoleucine–rich activation domain(Attardi and Tjian, 1993; Gustavsson et al., 2008; Moussian and Uv, 2005; Ting et al.,
2003b; Uv et al., 1994; Venkatesan et al., 2003; Wilanowski et al., 2002). Grh factors were first identified inDrosophila (Bray et al., 1989; Bray and
Kafatos, 1991; Dynlacht et al., 1989; Johnson et al., 1989) and since then, they were also found in animals as diverse as nematodes and humans. Grh
proteins have not yet been detected in unicellular organisms. Phylogenetic analysis subdivides this gene family into two main classes, the Grh–like
sub–family and the CP2 sub–family, depending whether the family members are more related to the Drosophila grh, or to another Drosophila gene,
CP2 (Ting et al., 2003b; Venkatesan et al., 2003; Wilanowski et al., 2002). The fly and worm genomes each contain a single grh gene. Mammals, both
mice and humans, have evolved three Grh homologues: Grh–like–1 (Grhl–1, or Mammalian Grainyhead (MGR)/TFCP2L2), Grhl–2 (Brother–of–MGR
(BOM)/TFCP2L3) and Grhl–3 (Sister–of–MGR (SOM)/ TFCP2L4). This group of genes encodes proteins with highly homologous DNA–binding and
dimerization domains. They all show restricted expression pattern during embryogenesis and play important roles in organogenesis and epidermal

P2: Outline the four main tissue types such as Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous.
Tissues are groups of cells, which are placed together to achieve a common function. There are four main types of tissue: Epithelial, connective,
muscle and nervous. Most of these tissues are found in our bodies, however the epithelial tissue is covered all over the surfaces of the body.
Epithelial tissue
This tissue covers the whole surface of the body and is specialised to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. The bottom
layers of the cells are attached to the basement membrane for support and connection. Endothelium is an epithelial tissue that occurs on surfaces on the
interior of the body. There are nerve ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It doesn't contain blood vessel and is nourished by the diffusion from the bone. Adipose, is another term for fatty tissue. It is common for under the
skin and around the organs such as the heart, kidney and part of the digestive tract.
Muscle tissue
These muscle tissue cells specialised to contract and move parts of the body. It is also capable of responding to stimuli. There are three types of
muscle in the body such as: skeletal, cardiac and smooth. Each muscle is created of muscle fibers that are capable of contracting and returning back to
original state–relaxation. Contraction causes movement of the skeleton, soft tissue, blood or specific material. Skeletal muscle is attached to the bones
of the skeleton. Some facial muscles are attached to the skin. They have direct control over them through nervous impulses from our brain sending
messages to the muscle. Contractions can vary to produce fast, powerful movements. These muscles also have the ability to stretch and contract to
return to original shape. Cardiac muscles are found in the chambers of the heart such as the atria and ventricles. It is under the control of the automatic
nervous system; however, even without nervous input contractions can occur. It is completely different to all the other muscles. Smooth muscles are
also known as involuntary due to our inability to control its movement. This muscle is usually found in the walls of hollow organs

glands, and sweat glands are found in this layer. The epithelial layer is primarily used for protection. This layer consists of keratinized stratified
squamous epithelium. It is tough, relatively impermeable, and self–replacing. The epidermis is made up of several layers. Stratum corneum are cells of
the cornified layer are dead, protective keratinized that are eventually sloughed off. Stratum granulosum cells are in the granule–cell layer, and they

пѓ Systemic Disease
Host–adapted serotypes are more invasive and tend to cause systemic disease in their hosts; a feature which is linked to their resistance to phagocytic
killing. In humans, this applies to the typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli, S. Typhi, and S. Paratyphi A, B, and C, which cause the septicemia diseases,
enteric fever. Typhoid fever has an incubation period of anything from 3 to 56 days, though it is usually between 10 and 20 days. Invasive salmonellas
penetrate the intestinal epithelium and are then carried by the lymphatics to the mesenteric lymph nodes. After multiplication in the macrophages, they
are released to drain into the bloodstream and are then disseminated around the body. They are removed from the blood by macrophages but continue to
multiply within them. This eventually kills the macrophages which then release large numbers of bacteria into the blood stream causing a septicemia.
In this, the first phase of the illness, the organism may be cultured from the blood. There is a slow onset of symptoms including fever, headache,
abdominal tenderness and constipation and the appearance of the body of rose red spots which fade on pressure. During the second stage of the

Tissues and Cell Structures
Tissues are groupings of cells with similar functions. There are four main kinds of human tissues: Muscle Tissue
Muscular tissue is made up of cells that have sliding protein (actin, a globular protein, and myosin) filaments. As these filaments slide over each other,
they cause the cell to contract. Cells are arranged in cables within cables, twined around each other, so that when a muscle contracts, it is actually
millions of cells contracting synchronously. There are three types of muscle tissue; cardiac muscle that operates in the heart; skeletal muscle which is
used for locomotion (among other functions) and is found all over the body; and smooth muscle which is found in a variety of organs (such as the
stomach and bladder) and in blood vessels. Smooth muscle also causes our hair to stand on end.
Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue makes up the brain and nervous system. It is used to transmit information around the body for a huge variety of tasks (for example,
controlling muscles). Apart from in the brain, it is also found in the spine and in sensory organs such as the eyes. It is made up of cells called neurons
which transmit electric–chemical signals around the body and centrally to the brain. For example, when we feel pain in our finger, it is caused by
sensory input to the nerve cells in the finger, which transmit an electric impulse to the brain. The brain then "translates" this impulse into what we call
pain.

Different Methods Used For The Diagnosis Of The Cancer
In the medical field, currently various methods are used for the diagnosis of the cancer. Mostly the cancer specialist uses the gland structure for the
diagnosis of the cancer patient. Hence the glandular structure observation is very important for the cancer patient disease diagnosis. For the disease
diagnosis purpose we required the microscopic image of the gland. A single gland contains thousands of tissues and cells in it, some of them may be
overlapped to each other. In this paper we used the, Saliency Map Method, for the segmentation of the input image given by the user. Then we have
used the Visual Signal To Noise Ratio (VSNR) Method, This method is used to detect the overlapped cells and it also plays the important role to
separate the overlapped cells. The VSNR method is also helps to detect the various features of the gland like area, eccentricity and the orientation of
each cells present and detect the total area covered by cells in that image. from all above observations the pathologist can easily predict the disease.

Transitional epithelium is also composed of several layers but is constructive of pear shaped cells instead. This type of tissue is stretchy, meaning it
can contract and expand. It is usually found lining the urinary bladder as it allows for stretching as the bladder fills up.
The second type of tissue found in the body is connective tissue. They lie beneath the epithelial tissue helping to connect different part of the internal
structure, the cells are more widely separated from each other then in epithelial tissue. The intercellular substance known as the matrix is found in
considerably large amounts. Within the matrix there are usually fibres which may be a jelly like consistency or dense and rigid depending on the type,
function and positioning of the tissue. Theses fibres form a supporting system for cells to attach to. The major functions of connective tissue are to
transport materials, give structural support and protection. The types of connective tissue that will be explained are blood, bone, cartilage, bone,
areolar tissue and adipose tissue.
Blood is made up of straw coloured plasma, the matrix, in which various types of blood are carried. Plasma is mainly water where substances are

The two types of osseous tissue are spongy bone and compact bone. Blood is the liquid connective tissue. It is made of a ground substance called
plasma and other formed elements. The formed elements are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets that aid in
clotting.
Nervous tissue is made of neurons, and neuroglia (glial cells). The neurons have a pronounced cell body called the neurosoma. Dendrites are extensions
that branch from the neurosoma to receive messages and communicate those messages to the neurosoma. Neurosoma also have an axon (nerve fiber)
that extends from the cell body that sends out signals to other cells. Glial cells transmit messages only short distances. They provide protection and
support to the nervous system.
Muscular tissue is built to contract and relax for movement, circulation and digestion. Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle are the 3 types of muscular
tissue. Skeletal muscle is usually attached to bone, but there are exception like the tongue and some muscles of the face. Skeletal muscle is voluntary
and striated. Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart. It is involuntary muscle tissue but is also striated. Smooth muscle is neither striated nor

Lubricating and protective properties of mucus and its importance in the gastrointestinal tract
Mucus is a thick secretion made up of water, electrolytes, and a mixture of several glycoproteins. The Glycoproteins are made up of large
polysaccharides which are bound with much smaller quantities of protein.
Mucus is slightly different in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. It has numerous important characteristics applicable everywhere that make it
both a superb lubricant and a protectant for the wall of the gut. These are as follows:
1.It has adherent qualities – it adheres tightly to the food or other particles to spread as a thin film over the surfaces.

It causes fecal particles to adhere to one another to form the fecal masses that are excreted during a bowel movement.
5.It can't be easily digested by the gastrointestinal enzymes (very strong resistance).
6.The glycoproteins of mucus have amphoteric properties (they are capable of buffering small amounts of either acids or alkalies) and mucus regularly
contains moderate amounts of bicarbonate ions, which particularly neutralise acids.
Mucus allows easy slippage of food along the gastrointestinal tract and to prevent abrasive or chemical damage to the epithelium. When the salivary
glands does not secrete saliva you very quickly become aware of the lubricating qualities of mucus, as it is then difficult to swallow solid food even
when it is eaten while drinking large amounts of water.
Lubricating and protective properties of mucus and its importance in other parts of the body
The mucus secreted by the epithelial cells within the linings of the respiratory and upper gastrointestinal tracts also contains antimicrobial chemicals.

Comparing Cardiac Muscle And Brain Tissue
1) Comparing and contrasting cardiac Muscle tissue (figure a) and brain tissue (figure d)
Commonalities in the structures and functions of muscle tissue and brain tissue
In cardiac muscle, a single nucleus is located in the middle of each fibre. The brain tissue also has a nucleus which is located in the middle of cell
body. The cardiacmuscle and brain tissue don't have the exact same function. The cardiac muscle and the brain tissue don't work together because the
cardiac muscle doesn't takes any instructions from the brain tissue (Neurones). This means that the cardiac muscle contracts automatically.
Differences in the structures, functions and location of muscle tissue and brain tissue
The cardiac muscle consists of long branched fibres. Whereas, the brain tissue has spider web like structure. The cardiac muscle cell are made up of
fibres. The function of cardiac muscle is to help the heart to pump blood. The function of brain tissue is to send messages to and from the brain. The
cardiac muscle is present inside the heart. However, the brain tissue is located inside brain.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multi–faceted, heterogeneous disease of unknown etiology. Despite its high clinical variability, it is consistently
characterized by three main elements: vascular alterations, autoimmunity and progressive fibrosis. However, there is increasing evidence that SSc
pathogenesis is dominated by vascular changes, as demonstrated by numerous experimental and clinical studies (1).
Diagnosis is made by the physician based on the presence of specific features; however, until recently, the requirements for classifying patients as

The Importance Of Homeostasis And A State Of Equilibrium...
All living things strive towards one goal: homeostasis. Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium reached through physiological processes. In order to
maintain homeostasis, living things use cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to counteract physical changes. Using a variety of different tissues,
organs are formed to accomplish specific tasks. The four main types of tissues are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous
tissue. Several sublevels exist for each type of tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines body cavities. The three main kinds of Epithelial
tissue are squamous which is composed of flat cells, cuboidal, which is composed of cube–shaped cells, and columnar which is composed of stretched,
pillar–like cells. Each type of epithelial tissue can be either simple or stratified. Simple is one layer of cells, while stratified has more than one layer.
Each type can also be glandular. Glands can be either one epithelial cell or multiple cells. Its purpose is to secrete products into different parts of the
body or outside of the body. Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts or directly into a tube/cavity. Endocrine glands secrete their products
directly into the bloodstream. Examples of epithelial tissue are the linings of lungs, kidneys, small intestine, and the nose. A common trait that all

Synthetic Fibers And Its Effects On The Body

  • 1. Synthetic Fibers And Its Effects On The Body 2.2.2.2Elastic fibres Elastic fibres are 1 Вµm to 3Вµm in diameter and are loosely arranged in all directions in the dermis [90]. These fibres are scattered among the collagen bundles and become thicker in the deeper layers of the dermis [90]. Elastic fibres, as their name indicates, are extremely elastic and help in the elastic recoil of the skin and that is the reason why they are more abundant in the dermis of the face, scalp and the extensible organs, such as tendons and arteries [91, 92]. 2.2.2.3Extrafibrillar matrix The extrafibrillar matrix includes a ground substance (glycosaminoglycans), dermal fibroblasts, dendritic cells, mast cells, histiocytes, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics [85]. Ground substance is a gelatinous amorphous substance of sugar and proteins (glycoproteins and proteoglycans) that is observed between the fibres and between the cells. It provides support to the dermis and has an extraordinary capacity to store water. Moreover, it facilitates the passage of nutrients, hormones, and other molecules through the dermis [72, 73]. Fibroblasts, the major cell type of the dermis, produce and maintain most of the ECM proteins. Indeed, they produce collagen, elastic fibres, and glycosaminoglycan [93]. The dermal fibroblasts are differentiated from the mesenchymal cells and appear as thin spindle–shaped cells. The dermis includes other types of cell such histiocytes, mast cells and dermal dendritic cells. Histiocytes are star–shaped cells with a small ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Atrophy – is a decrease in the size of tissue or organ resulting from decrease either in the size of individual cells or in the number of cells composing the tissue atrophy– decrease in size of normally developed organ. It is different from agenesis, aplasia, hypoplasia which are abnormalities of organ development. atrophy– decrease in the size of the cell results from the loss or reduction of cell substances, reduction of the number of cytoplasmic organelles associated with diminished cell function Atrophy represents a reduction of cell structural components –less mitochondria –less endoplasmic reticulum –fewer myofilaments metabolic rate is reduced –less amino acid uptake –less oxygen consumption –less protein synthesis Degenerating organelles are taken up in lysosomal vacuoles for enzymatic digestion, process is represented by –marked increase in the number of autophagic vacuoles –many autophagic vacuoles may resist digestion–residual bodies some of them contain lipofuscin granules–brown atrophy –atrophy may progress to cell injury and death, a decrease in cell number results from cell death due to irreversible cell injury –when sufficient number of cells is involved–the entire tissue or organ diminishes in size= becomes atrophic – connective tissue or adipose tissue fills ...

  • 3. Understanding Development Of Emphysema Through Imaging Understanding Development of Emphysema through Imaging Started in 2012 when I was accepted to the University of Maine, in the school of Biology and Ecology. I had envisioned myself as a medical professional or conducting some type of research that could have an impact on modern society. Taking course after course, learning basic biology, to medical physiology, and eventually applying those concepts into my own research. Mouse lung tissue is the starting point of my research. By creating a histological slide of this lung tissue, I was able to have a control for a healthy mouse lung. Identifying major structures such as, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. My intent for this research is to apply my findings, and compare them to other imaging techniques used on mouse lungs. With the prime focus on the effects of smoking with the leading of emphysema. Emphysema is common, yet serious condition that is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is so serious because it can enlarge and eventually destroy air spaces within the lungs. This disease effects millions of people in the United States, and is the third leading cause in the United States. Smoking is the leading cause of this condition. Understanding how COPD works, it helps to know how the lungs work as well. When you inhale air, that air is sent down your windpipe, or trachea, into tubes called bronchi. These bronchial tubes then branch into the lungs by getting smaller, thinner and by the thousands, these are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Cilia Are Tiny Hairs Of The Respiratory Tract By Capturing... What are cilia? Cilia are tiny hairs, which protect parts of the respiratory tract by capturing particles, which has entered the body by using a sweeping movement to keep the particles such as dust and debris out of the lungs. The cilia are found attached to the apical surface of the cell. For example, dust that has been breathed in through the nose would be captured to stop it going even further. There are roughly 200 to 300 tiny hairs on the cell. Non–ciliated simple columnar epithelial tissue Non–ciliated simple columnar epithelial tissue is found on the lining digestive tract, which is the stomach, gall bladder and the excretory ducts of some glands. It is a tube, which transfers food to the digestive organs. It also contains a nucleus at its base, has a single layer of cells however are not ciliated; they do not contain tiny hairs. It also has microvilli to increase the surface area and to make the absorption more effective, the microvilli can also be referred to as the brush border due to its hairy appearance. Pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue The Pseudostratified columnar epithelium tissue that lines the trachea and upper respiratory tract contains many goblet cells. They are unevenly shaped due to the nucleus that is positioned in different places within the cells; it is this that makes the cells look as if it has many layers, however it only has one layer that stretches between the apical surface and basement membrane. It secretes mucus and can ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Glomerular Filtration : The Major Function Of The Glomerulus Glomerular filtration The major function of the glomerulus is to produce an ultrafiltrate from the blood using the glomerular capillary wall(GCW) as a filter by a process differs from the transcapillary exchange process as in other organs in two ways. First, the GCW almost completely excludes plasma proteins of the size of albumin (radius 36Г…) or larger from the filtrate. Second, the glomeruli exhibit an extraordinary high permeability–surface area productto water and small solutes and also a very high capillary filtration capacity (Anderson et al. 2000)вЃ . Fluid movement across the glomerulus is, similar to the conditions in other capillaries, governed by the Starling forces, i.e. the effective hydrostatic pressure gradient minus the effective oncotic pressure gradient. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can thus be described by: GFR = LpS Г— ( ∆ P в€’ ∆Π) Where, Lp represent the hydraulic conductivity of the GCW, and S is the surface area available for filtration. ∆ P denotes the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries minus the hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman's space, and ∆Πthe effective oncotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries minus that in the Bowman's space. If LpS is 4 ml/min/mmHg/100g of kidney weight in humans, and ∆ P ≈ (52 –15) mmHg, while ∆Π≈ (28–0) mmHg, then, the GFR in man equals 4 x 3 x [(52–15) – (28–0)] ≈ 120 ml/min. GFR can be measured clinically using molecules that are freely filtered across the glomerulus and that are not bound to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. The Basic Types Of Tissue Tissue In humans, there are four basic types of tissue: 1.Connective tissue 2.Muscle tissue 3.Nervous tissue 4.Epithelial tissue Epithelial tissue & subtypes The epithelial tissue covers inner and outer layer/surface of the body, e.g. the stomach, or blood lines, vessels and the lung. The epithelium consists of closely packed, flattened cells that make up the inside/ outside lining of body areas. Epithelial tissues that cover/line surfaces are classified by cell shape and by the number of cell layers, the image on the left is the subtypes of epithelial tissue; Squamous – flattened cells, fried egg shape in appearance.

The function of the connective tissue is to support, bind, cover, protect and give structure to the body. Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, areolar, adipose bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue. Cartilage tissue is a smooth, firm substance that protects ends of the bones from friction during movement and they can be found at the end of our bones in mobile joints, the front ends of the ribs, also in parts of our nose and ears. Our bone tissues are made of a much harder substance than the cartilage, but they can be worn away by friction. They are tough on the outside, but on the inside they have a sponge–like design that helps to reduce the weight while retaining strength. They are designed to maintain the body's structure and support the body's movement and are used to protect weaker tissues, such as the brain, lungs and heart.

Body Organs: The body has different organs that work together and they make up a system such as the Respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. These are the main systems within the body and are made up of individual organs that then work together. For instance, the respiratory system is made of the nose, lungs, heart and this lets us breathe. Blood: Blood is a bodily fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells within the body. Blood has plasma that lets the different types of blood travel round the body. Plasma contains proteins that have different functions for the blood– clotting, transporting and defence organisms and osmotic organisations. The plasma carries the red blood cell which has a elastic membrane so it can fit through the small capillaries within the body. Red blood cells can be also known as erythrocytes they don't have a nucleus when they are matured which gives a bigger space for oxygen, although as there is no nuclei the red blood cells can't divide so they only live for around 120 days.

  • 21. Is Cancer A Genetic Disease? Introduction Cancer is one of the oldest genetic diseases known to man. Since the evolution of mitosis as a means for cell division and the development of multicellular eukaryotes – like humans and their biological progenitors – mutations in normal cell maturation and proliferation have resulted in various types of cancers, some benign but many of which exhibit great malignancy (Hajdu, 2011). Cancer, and one of its more common forms carcinoma, is characterized as a genetic disease where by mutations – often caused by environmental stressors such as chemical or radiation exposure – in the development of epithelial cells lead to abnormal growth, either in terms of size or abundance. This abnormal uncontrolled growth is known as neoplasia (Rock & Hogan, 2011). Carcinoma cells can develop by other methods however, anaplasia for example is the process by which normally mature differentiated cells begin to lose their form and resemble immature cells lacking proper function, becoming irresponsive to normal stimuli (Scatena, 2011). Dysplasia is similar in that it consists of a proliferation of immature often undifferentiated cells, eventually outnumbering the number of mature cells as they 're removed by the process of apoptosis – programmed cell death (Wang, 2010). Eventually the neoplasm, or anaplastic cells, can replace normal tissue; as apoptosis of cancer cells is non–functioning, the development of a large tumour can inhibit the functionality of healthy organs and their ...

The Hooves Of Horses Are Particularly Prone The hooves of horses are especially prone to infection, due to their constant exposure to bacteria and sensitivity of the hoof wall to environmental changes. Abscesses within the hoof may vary in degree, ranging from mild to life threatening. Typically, abscesses occur when bacteria are introduced into the epithelium of the hoof, where the body responds and produces purulent fluid that effectively forms a pocket. This pocket will become enlarged with pus and due to the inability of the hoof to expand, pressure will begin to build up and cause pain. Severe lameness and resistance to bearing weight on the painful hoof is therefore the first sign of an abscess. Normally, the thick outer wall and sole of the hoof protects the more sensitive ...

The five regions of the hoof include the coronary band, the hoof wall, the sole, the frog, and the heel bulbs. Highly specialized subcutaneous tissues within the hoof include the perioplic tissue, coronary tissue, lamellar tissue, solar tissue, and cuneate tissue. The outer hoof wall consists of keratinized laminar epithelium that is constantly being regenerated. Regeneration of the hoof wall takes place at the coronary band where there are basal epithelial cells that produce keratinocytes. Just below the outer hoof wall sits the lamina, connecting the interior wall to the distal phalanx, and acts to secure the bone in place. The lamellae layers consist of the stratum externum, stratum medium, and stratum internum (see Figure 1). The laminar layer surrounds the distal phalanx (P3) and makes up the statum internum (lamellatum) of the laminar corium, consisting of keritanized primary laminae, and non–keratinized secondary laminae. The strong bond between the hoof wall and pedal bone is a result of interdigitating of the primary and secondary laminae as shown in figure 2 (Ownby, 2002), (Anatomy of the Hoof Capsule, n.d.).

It undergoes a fast turnover of 3–5 days by Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs), replacing all the older cells with new ones which is necessary for the nutritional uptake by intestinal cells and thereby, maintaining tissue homeostasis. Small intestinal epithelium has several crypts/villi structures which inhabits ISCs. Cells are arranged in the order of increasing maturity from bottom to top of each crypt. ISCs are present at base of each crypt and they give rise to transit–amplifying cells (TA).These transit–amplifying cells divide actively 4–5 times, approximately after every 12 hours. Further, these cells differentiate to form – enterocytes, goblet cells and entroendocrine cells. ISCs differentiate to form Paneth cells towards the base of crypt (Marshman et al., 2002). ISCs were first identified by BrDU label retention method (Cheng and Leblond, 1974). After 30 years, Clevers and colleagues identified ISCs at single cell resolution by lineage tracing. They found that Lgr5 gene, encoding the leucine–rich repeat–containing G–protein coupled receptor 5, is expressed in ISCs and LGR5+ cells give rise to all four different kind of intestinal epithelial cells (Barker et al., 2007).In addition, LGR5+ cells cultured in vitro give rise to organoid expressing all the markers of intestinal epithelium (Sato et al., 2009).

Introduction : пѓ Regenerative periodontal treatment involves systems which are especially intended to reestablish those parts of the tooth–supporting structures which have been lost because of periodontitis or gingival injury. The expression "recovery" is characterized as a recreation of lost or harmed tissues in a manner that both the first structures and their capacity are totally reestablished. Strategies went for reestablishing lost periodontal tissues support the making of new connection, including the development another periodontal tendon with its filaments embeddings in recently framed cementum and alveolar bone. пѓ Profound infra–hard imperfections connected with periodontal pockets are the great sign for periodontal regenerative treatment. Furthermore, distinctive degrees of furcation association in molars and upper first premolars are a further sign for regenerative methodologies as the furcation range stays hard to keep up through instrumentation and oral cleanliness. A third gathering of signs for regenerative periodontal treatment are confined gingival subsidences and root presentation since they may bring about a noteworthy tasteful sympathy toward the patient.

The cornea is part of the ocular surface system and is of vital importance to maintain its slightly dehydrated state (Gipson, 2007). The cornea consists of layered structures as shown in Figure 3. Corneal epithelium consists of three layers of superficial, wing and basal cells and is the main refractive site of the eye and is constantly bathed by water (tears) secreted from lacrimal glands (Schey et al, 2014). Keratocytes are scattered among a network of collagen fibrils which are spaced in the stroma is important in maintaining the transparency of the cornea (ibid). The endothelium layer is immersed in an aqueous humor and gives access to fluid and nutrients for the cornea (ibid). Changes in the corneal water volume will change the length and spacing of stromal collagen fibrils which later affects the transparency of the cornea (ibid). Both AQP5 and AQP1 are the major channels for water transport across the corneal epithelium and endothelium (ibid). AQP5 is responsible for water transport across the corneal epithelium onto the ocular surface due to the high osmotic pressure of the tear film (ibid).

DENT262C Oral Microbiology Does internalisation of subgingival bacteria by epithelial cells represent invasion by the bacteria or a defensive strategy of the host? I.D. 58962 Word Count:1828 Summary Residence within host gingival epithelia cells provides bacteria with a nutrient–rich, generally reducing environment that is partially protected from the host immune system. Accessing this secure environment isvital in the early stages of sulcus colonization by periodontal bacteria, as low numbers of bacteria are susceptible to clearance by immune mechanisms. While this does not immediately contribute to disease, invasive bacteria use the intracellular location to safely persist and replicate. The main bacteria focused in this essay isP. gingivalis. It is a gram–negative anaerobic bacteria that is associated with more severe forms of the periodontal disease.P. gingivalisuses many mechanisms for adhesion and internalisation into host cells such a frimbriae, gingipains, and proteolytic enzymes. These and other processes cause induction of host's immune–inflammatory activity, which affects the structures supporting the teeth. This may also lead to the destruction of the surrounding bone and connective tissue, and ultimately tooth loss. Adhesion Initial interactions with epithelial cells require adhesion.

They encode a family of transcription factors with a unique, unusually large, DNA–binding and dimerization domain, and an isoleucine–rich activation domain(Attardi and Tjian, 1993; Gustavsson et al., 2008; Moussian and Uv, 2005; Ting et al., 2003b; Uv et al., 1994; Venkatesan et al., 2003; Wilanowski et al., 2002). Grh factors were first identified inDrosophila (Bray et al., 1989; Bray and Kafatos, 1991; Dynlacht et al., 1989; Johnson et al., 1989) and since then, they were also found in animals as diverse as nematodes and humans. Grh proteins have not yet been detected in unicellular organisms. Phylogenetic analysis subdivides this gene family into two main classes, the Grh–like sub–family and the CP2 sub–family, depending whether the family members are more related to the Drosophila grh, or to another Drosophila gene, CP2 (Ting et al., 2003b; Venkatesan et al., 2003; Wilanowski et al., 2002). The fly and worm genomes each contain a single grh gene. Mammals, both mice and humans, have evolved three Grh homologues: Grh–like–1 (Grhl–1, or Mammalian Grainyhead (MGR)/TFCP2L2), Grhl–2 (Brother–of–MGR (BOM)/TFCP2L3) and Grhl–3 (Sister–of–MGR (SOM)/ TFCP2L4).

Contraction causes movement of the skeleton, soft tissue, blood or specific material. Skeletal muscle is attached to the bones of the skeleton. Some facial muscles are attached to the skin. They have direct control over them through nervous impulses from our brain sending messages to the muscle. Contractions can vary to produce fast, powerful movements. These muscles also have the ability to stretch and contract to return to original shape. Cardiac muscles are found in the chambers of the heart such as the atria and ventricles. It is under the control of the automatic nervous system; however, even without nervous input contractions can occur. It is completely different to all the other muscles. Smooth muscles are also known as involuntary due to our inability to control its movement. This muscle is usually found in the walls of hollow organs ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands are found in this layer. The epithelial layer is primarily used for protection. This layer consists of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. It is tough, relatively impermeable, and self–replacing. The epidermis is made up of several layers. Stratum corneum are cells of the cornified layer are dead, protective keratinized that are eventually sloughed off. Stratum granulosum cells are in the granule–cell layer, and they accumulate keratohyalin or darkly stained granules. Stratum spinosum cells are the prickle–layer, and are attached to one another.

In humans, this applies to the typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli, S. Typhi, and S. Paratyphi A, B, and C, which cause the septicemia diseases, enteric fever. Typhoid fever has an incubation period of anything from 3 to 56 days, though it is usually between 10 and 20 days. Invasive salmonellas penetrate the intestinal epithelium and are then carried by the lymphatics to the mesenteric lymph nodes. After multiplication in the macrophages, they are released to drain into the bloodstream and are then disseminated around the body. They are removed from the blood by macrophages but continue to multiply within them. This eventually kills the macrophages which then release large numbers of bacteria into the blood stream causing a septicemia. In this, the first phase of the illness, the organism may be cultured from the blood. There is a slow onset of symptoms including fever, headache, abdominal tenderness and constipation and the appearance of the body of rose red spots which fade on pressure. During the second stage of the illness, the organism reaches the gall bladder where it multiplies in the bile. The flow of infected bile infects the small intestine causing inflammation and ulceration. The fever persists but with ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 35. Tissues and Cell Structures Tissues are groupings of cells with similar functions. There are four main kinds of human tissues: Muscle Tissue Muscular tissue is made up of cells that have sliding protein (actin, a globular protein, and myosin) filaments. As these filaments slide over each other, they cause the cell to contract. Cells are arranged in cables within cables, twined around each other, so that when a muscle contracts, it is actually millions of cells contracting synchronously. There are three types of muscle tissue; cardiac muscle that operates in the heart; skeletal muscle which is used for locomotion (among other functions) and is found all over the body; and smooth muscle which is found in a variety of organs (such as the stomach and bladder) and in blood vessels. Smooth muscle also causes our hair to stand on end. Nervous Tissue Nervous tissue makes up the brain and nervous system. It is used to transmit information around the body for a huge variety of tasks (for example, controlling muscles). Apart from in the brain, it is also found in the spine and in sensory organs such as the eyes. It is made up of cells called neurons which transmit electric–chemical signals around the body and centrally to the brain. For example, when we feel pain in our finger, it is caused by sensory input to the nerve cells in the finger, which transmit an electric impulse to the brain. The brain then "translates" this impulse into what we call pain. Epithelial Tissue Epithelial tissue, among other things, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 36. Different Methods Used For The Diagnosis Of The Cancer In the medical field, currently various methods are used for the diagnosis of the cancer. Mostly the cancer specialist uses the gland structure for the diagnosis of the cancer patient. Hence the glandular structure observation is very important for the cancer patient disease diagnosis. For the disease diagnosis purpose we required the microscopic image of the gland. A single gland contains thousands of tissues and cells in it, some of them may be overlapped to each other. In this paper we used the, Saliency Map Method, for the segmentation of the input image given by the user. Then we have used the Visual Signal To Noise Ratio (VSNR) Method, This method is used to detect the overlapped cells and it also plays the important role to separate the overlapped cells. The VSNR method is also helps to detect the various features of the gland like area, eccentricity and the orientation of each cells present and detect the total area covered by cells in that image. from all above observations the pathologist can easily predict the disease. Keywords: Gland Structure, Cells, Microscopic images, Segmentation.. 1. INTRODUCTION Tissue diagnosis [1] is the very important factor in the modern day medical field.

Transitional epithelium is also composed of several layers but is constructive of pear shaped cells instead. This type of tissue is stretchy, meaning it can contract and expand. It is usually found lining the urinary bladder as it allows for stretching as the bladder fills up. The second type of tissue found in the body is connective tissue. They lie beneath the epithelial tissue helping to connect different part of the internal structure, the cells are more widely separated from each other then in epithelial tissue. The intercellular substance known as the matrix is found in considerably large amounts. Within the matrix there are usually fibres which may be a jelly like consistency or dense and rigid depending on the type, function and positioning of the tissue. Theses fibres form a supporting system for cells to attach to. The major functions of connective tissue are to transport materials, give structural support and protection. The types of connective tissue that will be explained are blood, bone, cartilage, bone, areolar tissue and adipose tissue. Blood is made up of straw coloured plasma, the matrix, in which various types of blood are carried. Plasma is mainly water where substances are carried such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients such as glucose and amino acids, salts, enzymes and hormones.

The two types of osseous tissue are spongy bone and compact bone. Blood is the liquid connective tissue. It is made of a ground substance called plasma and other formed elements. The formed elements are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets that aid in clotting. Nervous tissue is made of neurons, and neuroglia (glial cells). The neurons have a pronounced cell body called the neurosoma. Dendrites are extensions that branch from the neurosoma to receive messages and communicate those messages to the neurosoma. Neurosoma also have an axon (nerve fiber) that extends from the cell body that sends out signals to other cells. Glial cells transmit messages only short distances. They provide protection and support to the nervous system. Muscular tissue is built to contract and relax for movement, circulation and digestion. Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle are the 3 types of muscular tissue. Skeletal muscle is usually attached to bone, but there are exception like the tongue and some muscles of the face. Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated. Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart. It is involuntary muscle tissue but is also striated. Smooth muscle is neither striated nor voluntary.

The Glycoproteins are made up of large polysaccharides which are bound with much smaller quantities of protein. Mucus is slightly different in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. It has numerous important characteristics applicable everywhere that make it both a superb lubricant and a protectant for the wall of the gut.

It causes fecal particles to adhere to one another to form the fecal masses that are excreted during a bowel movement. 5.It can't be easily digested by the gastrointestinal enzymes (very strong resistance). 6.The glycoproteins of mucus have amphoteric properties (they are capable of buffering small amounts of either acids or alkalies) and mucus regularly contains moderate amounts of bicarbonate ions, which particularly neutralise acids. Mucus allows easy slippage of food along the gastrointestinal tract and to prevent abrasive or chemical damage to the epithelium. When the salivary glands does not secrete saliva you very quickly become aware of the lubricating qualities of mucus, as it is then difficult to swallow solid food even when it is eaten while drinking large amounts of water. Lubricating and protective properties of mucus and its importance in other parts of the body The mucus secreted by the epithelial cells within the linings of the respiratory and upper gastrointestinal tracts also contains antimicrobial chemicals. As mucus is sticky, particles that stick to it are prevented from entering the blood.

Comparing Cardiac Muscle And Brain Tissue 1) Comparing and contrasting cardiac Muscle tissue (figure a) and brain tissue (figure d) Commonalities in the structures and functions of muscle tissue and brain tissue In cardiac muscle, a single nucleus is located in the middle of each fibre. The brain tissue also has a nucleus which is located in the middle of cell body. The cardiacmuscle and brain tissue don't have the exact same function. The cardiac muscle and the brain tissue don't work together because the cardiac muscle doesn't takes any instructions from the brain tissue (Neurones). This means that the cardiac muscle contracts automatically. Differences in the structures, functions and location of muscle tissue and brain tissue The cardiac muscle consists of long branched fibres. Whereas, the brain tissue has spider web like structure. The cardiac muscle cell are made up of fibres. The function of cardiac muscle is to help the heart to pump blood. The function of brain tissue is to send messages to and from the brain. The cardiac muscle is present inside the heart.

Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium reached through physiological processes. In order to maintain homeostasis, living things use cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to counteract physical changes. Using a variety of different tissues, organs are formed to accomplish specific tasks. The four main types of tissues are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue. Several sublevels exist for each type of tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines body cavities. The three main kinds of Epithelial tissue are squamous which is composed of flat cells, cuboidal, which is composed of cube–shaped cells, and columnar which is composed of stretched, pillar–like cells. Each type of epithelial tissue can be either simple or stratified. Simple is one layer of cells, while stratified has more than one layer. Each type can also be glandular. Glands can be either one epithelial cell or multiple cells. Its purpose is to secrete products into different parts of the body or outside of the body. Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts or directly into a tube/cavity. Endocrine glands secrete their products directly into the bloodstream.
