Hematological Diseases

Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin (Hb) is less than normal. The oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is, therefore, decreased.

Urinary System

The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood

Respiratory System

The cells of the human body require a constant stream of oxygen to stay alive. There are 3 major parts of the respiratory system: the airway, the lungs, and the muscles of respiration

Diseases Of Bones & Joints

INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN SKELETON The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of 270 bones at birth. This total 206 bones by adulthood after some bones have fused together. The bone mass in the skeleton reaches maximum density around age 30.

Cardiovascular System

INTRODUCTION TO CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM The heart is muscular organ about the size of a closed fist located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium. On its superior end, the base of the heart is attached to the aorta, pulmonary arteries and veins, and the vena cava.

Enzymes

Enzymes are biocatalysts – the catalysts of life. A catalyst is defined as a substance that increases the velocity or rate of a chemical re

Metabolism Of Lipids

METABOLISM OF LIPIDS - Lipids are indispensable for cell structure and function. Due to their hydrophobic and non- polar nature, lipids differ from rest of the body compounds and are unique in their action.

Electrolytes and their imbalance

There are many chemicals in blood stream that regulate important functions of bodies. These chemicals are called electrolytes. Human body's nerve reactions and muscle functions are dependent upon the proper exchange of these electrolyte ions outside and inside cells. Examples of electrolytes are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Types of inflammation: Pathophysiology

Depending upon the defense capacity of the host and duration of response, inflammation can be classified as acute or chronic

Atherosclerosis Causes, Pathophysiology, and symptoms

Atherosclerosis (or arteriosclerotic vascular disease) is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to an excessive buildup of plaque around the artery wall. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood.

Healing : Regeneration and repair | pathophysiology notes

Healing- Injury to tissue may result in cell death and tissue destruction. Healing on the other hand is the body response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and function.

Packaging Material
Pharmaceutical Packaging: is the means of providing protection, presentation, identification, Information and convenience to encourage compliance with a course of therapy.

Acidosis and Alkalosis

Alkalosis is excessive blood alkalinity caused by an overabundance of bicarbonate in the blood or a loss of acid from the blood (metabolic alkalosis), or by a low level of carbon dioxide in the blood that results from rapid or deep breathing (respiratory alkalosis). Acidosis is caused by an overproduction of acid in the blood or an excessive loss of bicarbonate from the blood (metabolic acidosis) or by a build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood that results from poor lung function or depressed breathing (respiratory acidosis).

Cellular swelling and Calcification

The plasma membrane forms a barrier against excessive amounts of Na within the extracellular fluid from entering the cell. However, the plasma membrane is slightly “leaky” to Na , allowing minimal amounts of Na to gradually move into the cell.

Morphology Of Cell Injury- Adaptive Changes

Cell adaptation within limits: Most cells have the ability to adapt to changes in their environment by altering their morphology, pattern of growth and metabolic activity. Common examples include: atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia and dysplasia.

Mechanism of Cell Injury - Reversible and Irreversible Cell Injury

Cell injury is the common denominator in almost all diseases. It is defined as 'an alteration in cell structure or biochemical functioning, resulting from some stress that exceeds the ability of the cell to compensate through normal physiologic adaptive mechanisms'
