THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF PRESYNAPTIC ALPHA-2 (α2) RECEPTORS AND PROSTAGLANDIN E-SERIES TO THE CONTROL OF SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS ACTIVITY.

      ABSTRACTThe Sympathetic nervous systems (SNS) is an efferent division of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) with neurons which anatomically originates in the central nervous system (CNS). It has a short preganglionic neuron which comes from the thoracic and lumbar regions (T1 to L2) (also termed, thoracolumbar outflow) of the spinal cord. The axons of the postganglionic neuron extend from these ganglia to the tissues that they innervate and regulate. In most cas...

PUBERTY: Role Of Endocrine System In The Onset And Regulation Of Puberty; Disorders Associated With Puberty.

AbstractThe endocrine system is a system of glands, each of which secretes a type of hormone directly into the bloodstream to regulate the body. Many of the body's hormones influence growth, such as growth hormone, thyroxine, insulin, and corticosteroids (all of which influence growth rate), leptin (which alters body composition), and parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, and calcitonin (all of which affect skeletal mineralization). However, the key hormone in growth is GH which is...

FACTORS THAT CAN UPREGULATE AND DOWNREGULATE DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF CARBOHYDRATE

Digestion is the breakdown of complex food substances into simple and absorbable form by the aid of enzymes using a process known as hydrolysis. Carbohydrate basically are divided into three: Polysaccharides (example Starch), Disaccharides (Sucrose and Lactose), and monosaccharides (Fructose, Galatose and Glucose). Almost all the carbohydrates of the diet are either large polysaccharides or disaccharides, which are combinations of monosaccharides bound to one another by condensation (Guyton...

CLINICAL ASPECT OF SPINAL MOTOR SYSTEM - THE BROWN SEQUARD SYNDROME

Brown-Séquard syndrome, also known as Brown-Séquard's hemiplegia and Brown-Séquard's paralysis, is a loss of sensation and motor function (paralysis and anesthesia) that is caused by the lateral hemisection (cutting) of the spinal cord. This may be seen most often in the cervical (neck) or thoracic spine. Other synonyms are hemiparaplegic syndrome, hemiplegia ethemiparaplegiaspinalis, and spinal hemiparaplegia.  Brown-Séquard syndrome is characterized by loss of motor function (i.e...

CELL TO CELL SIGNALLING - HOW CELL COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER TO PROMOTE AND SUSTAIN LIFE

Cell to cell signaling refers to the transfer of information from one cell to another. This is also called cell signaling or intercellular communication. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their microenvironment is the basis of development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis. Errors in cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, and diabetes. The cells of the body communicate with each other ...

BLOOD FLOW MEASUREMENT

Blood is a specialized connective tissue in fluid form that flows through the entire body of a person or animal. Blood flow is the continuous circulation of blood through the cardiovascular system to body tissues and organs. An adequate amount of blood supply is necessary for the proper functioning of all body organs. This is vital as the blood carries and supplies body tissues and organs with its daily metabolic requirements while it also gets rid of any waste arising from tissue metabolis...

Cultivation of Plasmodium Falciparum And Antiplasmodia Screening of Methanol Extract of Ocimum Basilicum (Scent Leaf)

ABSTRACTThe methanol extract of Ocimum basilicum (Scent leaf) was greenish in colour and increases in concentration through evaporation process which turns the extract to thick and dark green colouration. The percentage parasitaemia growth increases consecutively for seven (7) days with 7th day result having the highest parasite growth of 18.73%. The antimalarial activity of methanol extract of Ocimum basilicum conducted at six (6) different concentration (µg/ml) value shows that the highest...
