GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR TISSUE CULTURE
Introduction to Tissue Culture Tissue culture is a widely-used technique in plant and animal biology, as well as in medical research and pharmaceutical industries. It involves the growth of cells or tissues outside of the organism in a controlled environment.…
UNDERSTANDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE FUNCTIONS
Introduction Connective tissue is a type of biological tissue that provides support and structure to the body. It is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissues. Connective tissue is made up…
THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLAPS AND TISSUE EXPANDERS IN PLASTIC SURGERY
Flaps versus Grafts A flap in medical terms refers to a piece of tissue that is transferred from one part of the body to another, while maintaining its blood supply. Flaps are commonly used in reconstructive surgery to repair defects…
HISTOLOGY OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Introduction Histology of connective tissue involves studying the cellular composition and extracellular matrix of various connective tissue types, like loose, dense, cartilage, bone, and blood. It helps understand their functions, structure, and role in the body’s support, protection, and maintenance.…
EXPLORING THE IMPORTANCE OF HEME-LYMPHOID TISSUE IN IMMUNE FUNCTION
Introduction Hematopoietic (heme) tissue is responsible for producing blood cells, while lymphoid tissue plays a crucial role in the immune system, producing and storing white blood cells (lymphocytes). Both types of tissue are vital for maintaining overall health and immunity.…
NERVOUS TISSUE HISTOLOGY
Histology of nervous tissue involves studying the microscopic structure of neurons and supporting cells, like glia. Neurons are the functional units, while glia provide support and protection. Stains are used to highlight specific features like cell bodies, axons, and dendrites.…
HISTOLOGY OF FAT TISSUE
Fat tissue, also known as adipose tissue, is a specialized connective tissue primarily composed of fat cells (adipocytes). It plays a crucial role in energy storage, insulation, and protection of organs in the body. Adipose tissue is distributed throughout the…
MICROSCOPIC SLIDE PREPARATION AND TISSUE MORPHOLOGY METHODS
Microscopic slide preparation Microscopic slide preparation is a critical process that involves several steps to create a slide with a specimen that can be examined under a microscope. These steps ensure that the specimen is adequately preserved, stained (if required),…
BIOCHEMISTRY OF BONE AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Bone Structure: Collagen & Hydroxyapatite Bone tissue is a complex and dynamic connective tissue that provides structural support, protection, and facilitates mineral homeostasis in the human body. It is composed of various components, including cells, fibers, and a mineralized matrix.…
HISTOLOGY OF BLOOD SMEAR AND LYMPHOID TISSUE
Blood Cell Identification Criteria When identifying blood cells, several criteria are considered to distinguish different types of cells. Here are the common review criteria used for identifying blood cells: Cell Size: Blood cells vary in size, and their diameter is…
UNDERSTANDING SOFT TISSUE TUMORS
Soft tissue tumors, also known as mesenchymal tumors, are a diverse group of neoplasms that originate from the various types of soft tissues in the body, excluding bone and hematopoietic tissues. These tumors can develop in muscles, tendons, fat, blood…
A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF TISSUE REPAIR PROCESS
Introduction Tissue repair is the process by which damaged tissues in the body are repaired and regenerated. The process of tissue repair involves several steps including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. When tissue damage occurs, the body’s immune system responds by…
ORGANISATION OF LIFE
All living things are highly organised. This organisation occurs in levels. The simplest structures are found at the lowest levels and they interact to build up more complex structures at the next level and so on. Levels of Organisation…
