a) In relation to oxygenation, what is happening in the cells, tissues and the body?
b) Apply the above to a specific disease.
Ans) a) Oxygen is important to every cell, tissue in body.
- Oxygen, through a process called oxidation, chemically changes food and liquid into energy. It's this "oxygen fire" that contracts our muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains, and even calms our nerves. Not only that, but breathing is our body's chief cleansing tool.
b) Several factors are needed to continuously supply the cells and tissues in the body with oxygen:
- A problem with any of these factors — for example, high altitude, asthma or heart disease — might result in hypoxemia, particularly under more extreme conditions, such as exercise or illness. When blood oxygen falls below a certain level, can experience shortness of breath, headache, and confusion or restlessness.
a) In relation to oxygenation, what is happening in the cells, tissues and the body? b)...
a) what is cognition and how does it affect the body's health? b) What are common alterations related to cognition? c) what is happening in the cells, tissues and the body in relation to cognition? and apply the concept of cognition to a specific disease.
Topic is AIDS 1.) Where in the body (what tissues, organ, cells) does the AIDS pathogen affect? 2.) What damage does the pathogen inflict? 3.) How is this damage inflicted? Is there direct chemical damage? Is it a toxin produced? Does the immune system response cause damage? 4.) What is the time sequence of the disease (length of incubation, prodrome, illness, decline, and convalescence? 5.) What are the major signs and symptoms?
For each of the body cells/tissues/organs below, list all the glucose transporters they express (I.e., specific GLUTs, SGLT1, or "none"). Remember, some tissues express multiple types of glucose transporters. Assume that "GLUT 1" Is not a correct answer for neurons.
a) What is mobility, and how does it affect the body's health? what are common alterations related to mobility? b) with mobility, what is happening to the cell, tissues and the body? what is the basic problem? Apply the concept to a specific disease? c) What evidence do you see of alteration in the body with mobility? and what can be done to improve balance or counteract imbalances?
a) what is metabolism and how does it affect the body's help? what are common alterations related to metabolism? b) What is happening in the cells, tissues, and body? what is the basic problem? Relate this concept to a disease.
The correct folding of proteins is necessary to maintain healthy cells and tissues. Unfolded proteins are responsible for such neurodegenerative disorders as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (the specific faulty protein is different for each disease). What is the ultimate fate of these disease causing, unfolded proteins? A. They form structured filaments, B. They form protein aggregates. C. They bind a different target protein. D. They are degraded.
What are the "basic" cells, what kind of tissues do they make? and where are some places in the body can they be found.
The body has a remarkable way of healing, specifically with tissue repair. Tissues are repaired by fibrosis and regeneration. Explain what are the differences between the two types of tissue repair? Give examples of the cells and tissues involved in both repair processes.
1. Understanding cell shape Within the context of tissues and organs cells adopt specific shapes or form certain patterns to facilitate their function. The human body contains more than 300 different types of cell, many of which have a unique appearance that is indicative of their function. The sketches below are of neuronal cells, muscle cells, red blood cells, bone cells and fat cells. Decide which sketch is which cell type and then write a small comment suggesting how the...
An infection always results in a disease which can destroy cells in the body. What part of the statement is incorrect? Infections do not always result in a disease. A reservoir results in people getting the disease. Diseases do not destroy cells in the body. Diseases are not considered part of the hosts
