Digestion and absorption: Human digestive system

The physical substance of the human organism, consisting of live cells and extracellular components and organised into tissues, organs, and systems, is referred to as the human body. Humans are, without a doubt, animals—more specifically, members of the order Primates, which is a subphylum of the phylum Chordata and belongs to the order Vertebrata. The […]

Introduction to human & plant physiology Human & plant physiology is the study of how living beings normally work. It is a branch of biology that studies anatomy, biological molecules, cells, organs and how they interact to allow life to exist. In some ways, the study of physiology is the study of life. It asks

The scientific name of humans is Homo sapiens. Humans’ structural and organisational units are made of cells that aggregate together to form tissues. The tissues come together and form organs and the overall organ system in the body. Each organ system is responsible for various metabolic and regulations occurring in the body and hence helps

Dialysis can remove toxic compounds and extra water from the body when the kidneys fail. This is accomplished through the application of technology that utilises the physical principles of diffusion, osmotic pressure, and convection.  Peritoneal and Hemodialysis dialysis are the two most common kinds of dialysis. Diffusion To grasp the concept of diffusion, consider the following basic experiment

Hypocalcemia is characterised by a low amount of calcium in the body, which indicates an electrolyte imbalance. 4.5-5.5 mEq/L is the normal calcium level in an adult’s blood plasma. Calcium is essential for the maintenance of building strong bones as well as teeth, and also for the regular operation of muscles and nerves. Calcium is

The rectum is an integral human body part, also found in some other mammals, that is situated at the lower part of the large intestine. It functions as the temporary storage of wastage from the colon. It seems like a tube that is around 15 cm in size. It is connected to the anus at

Active transport is an important mechanism in cellular biology and is related to the production of ATP, used as energy currency in the body. So, how does active transport work? It is the process by which the molecules move from the lower to higher concentration region across a membrane against the gradient. As the molecules

The hepatic portal system is the vein that connects the digestive tract and the spleen to the liver (where raw nutrients in blood are processed before the blood returns to the heart). Essentially, it drains the structures fed by the celiac (with the exception of the gonads), anterior mesenteric, gastro splenic, and posterior mesenteric arteries.

Haemodiafiltration (HDF) is a renal replacement treatment that combines convective and diffusive clearance. HDF eliminates more middle-molecular-weight solutes compared to regular haemodialysis. HDF has been linked to better clinical outcomes in certain trials, though not all, when appropriate convection volumes are attained. What is Haemodiafiltration? Haemodiafiltration is a therapy for kidney illness that is reported

The term “physical growth” refers to an increase in size. Growth in function and capability is what development is all about. Genetic, dietary, and environmental factors all play a role in both processes. It’s helpful to divide children into age groups as they grow physically and emotionally. Anatomy is a branch of biology dealing with
