Sexual Reproduction The sexual mode of reproduction comprises the process of combining DNA from two different individuals. There are two germ-cells (responsible for producing a new organism); one is large and contains the food-stores whereas the other one is smaller and likely to be motile. The motile germ-cell, normally, is known as the ‘male gamete’ and the germ-cell containing the stored food is known as the ‘female gamete.’ Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants As shown in the image given below, flowers have different parts, such as sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Among these, stamens and carpels are the reproductive parts and contain the germ-cells. Stamen is the male reproductive part, which produces pollen grains (yellowish substance). Carpel, which is present in the center of a flower, is the female reproductive part. Carpel is made of three parts. The bottom part, which is swollen, is the ovary; the middle part, which is elongated, is known as the style; and the termin...

Antiseptics and antibiotics are used to control bacteria through chemical methods. Antiseptics are bacteriostatic agents (not necessarily killing them) while Antibiotics can also have bacteriostatic and bacteriocidal properties. Some bacteria and fungi produce antibiotics as their natural product. These chemicals, on the other hand, could be synthetic versions of their natural equivalents. The filter paper disc method is a simple and effective way to compare antiseptics and antibiotics based on their ability to stop bacteria from growing.  The picture depicts the relative effectiveness of an antiseptic agent (Iodine) and one antibiotic (ampicillin) against two organisms: S. epidermidis and E. coli. (Distilled water had been used as control).  The millimetre scale clearly shows the zone of inhibition from the edge of the disk to the edge of the growth.

Menstrual Cycle (1) Menstruation occurs in human, apes and old-world monkeys. (2) Menstruation is bleeding from the uterus of adult females at intervals of one lunar month. (3) Beginning of menstruation or first menstruation is called menarche. (4) The beginning of menstruation varies. It usually occurs between 12 and 15 years. (5) The cycle of events starting from one menstruation till the next one is called Menstrual Cycle. (6) In human females, menstruation is repeated at an average interval of about 28/29 days. (7) One ovum is released (ovulation) during the middle of each menstrual cycle. (8) It is regulated by certain hormones, some of which are secreted by the pituitary gland. (9) The pituitary gland is stimulated by releasing factors produced in the hypothalamus. (10) The hormones produced by the pituitary gland influence the ovaries. The hormones secreted by the ovaries affect the walls of the uterus. Phases of Menstrual Cycle The menstrual cycle consists of following four pha...

ECG:-  An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from the heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on the chest to record the heart's electrical signals, which cause the heart to beat.  The signals are shown as waves on an attached computer monitor or printer.

Structure of a Human Eye The eye is spherical in shape and has a diameter of 2.3 cm on an average. The internal structure of the eye includes- cornea, iris, pupil, lens, ciliary muscles, retina, nerve cells, optic nerve, and yellow spot, aqueous and vitreous humor, and suspensory ligament. Defects of a Human Eye There are few common eye disorders seen in all individuals and are caused by several factors. These conditions can be improved by the corrections. The defects include: Myopia – This is also called as the short-sightedness. A person with this eye defect can only see the nearby objects clearly compared to distant objects. This condition can be corrected using a concave lens. Hypermetropia – This is also called as the farsightedness. A person with this eye defect can only see the distant objects clearly compared to near objects. This condition can be corrected using a convex lens. Presbyopia – This is an age-related condition caused due to the weakening of ciliary muscles, hardeni...

The cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves in the back of your brain. Cranial nerves send electrical signals between your brain, face, neck and torso. Your cranial nerves help you taste, smell, hear and feel sensations. They also help you make facial expressions, blink your eyes and move your tongue...........

Hypoglycemia:- Low blood sugar, the body's main source of energy. Diabetes treatment and other conditions can cause hypoglycaemia.  Hyperglycemia:- High blood sugar can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include recent consumption of a high carbohydrate meal or medication side effects.

Hypoxia... An absence of enough oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions. Sign of hypoxia- Severe hypoxia can cause additional symptoms: Slow heart rate (bradycardia). Extreme restlessness. Bluish skin (cyanosis)

Movement of small intestine  After you eat a meal, your small intestine contracts in a random, unsynchronized manner. Food moves back and forth and mixes with digestive juices. Then stronger, wave-like contractions push the food farther down your digestive system. These movements are known as peristalsis.

Diabetes mellitus..... A group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood (high blood glucose). MOST COMMON TYPES Type 2 diabetes A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose). Type 1 diabetes A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

Micturition reflex........ The micturition reflex is a bladder-to-bladder contraction reflex for which the reflex center is located in the rostral pontine tegmentum (pontine micturition center: PMC). There are two afferent pathways from the bladder to the brain. One is the dorsal system and the other is the spinothalamic tract.

About Physiotherapist .... Physiotherapists are responsible for designing treatments, reviewing recovery, and conducting therapeutic activities with patients. They assist patients with physical limitations caused by sickness, injury, disability, or ageing in regaining and optimising their mobility while reducing the risk of future issues.

Reflex Actions If the nerves that detect heat, cold, or any such kind of more sensational element move muscles in a simpler way; so, the process of detecting the signal or the input and responding to it by an output action, is known as reflex action and such connection is known as a reflex arc....

  TYPES OF CANCER   Carcinoma is a cancer that starts in the ectoderm or endoderm of epithelial cells of skin or the tissues that line other organs. Sarcoma is a cancer of connective tissues such as bones, muscles, cartilage, and blood vessels.  Leukemia is a cancer of bone marrow, which creates blood cells.  Lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system that starts in the lymph glands or cells of the lymphatic system  Myeloma is a cancer of the immune system that starts in plasma cells ( WBC)  Melanoma is a cancer of skin that develops when melanocytes (the cells that give the skin its tan or brown color) start to grow out of control.  Germinoma is a cancer derived from germ cell which are commonly found in the brain of young ages.

DELAYED EJACULATION Delayed ejaculation is a medical condition in which a male cannot ejaculate. It may occur either during intercourse or by manual stimulation with or without a partner. Ejaculation is when semen is released from the penis. CAUSES Most men ejaculate within a few minutes of starting to thrust during intercourse. Men with delayed ejaculation may be unable to ejaculate or may only be able to ejaculate with great effort after having intercourse for a long time (for example, 30 to 45 minutes). Delayed ejaculation can have psychological or physical causes. Common psychological causes include: 1 Religious background that makes the person view sex as sinful 2 Lack of attraction for a partner 3 Conditioning caused by a habit of excessive masturbation 4 Traumatic events (such as being discovered masturbating or having illicit sex, or learning one's partner is having an affair) Some factors, such as anger toward the partner, may be involved. Physical causes may include: 5 Bl...

Problems with the fallopian tubes also account for a significant percentage of infertility cases. Sometimes, the tubes may be blocked or they may be scarred as a result of disease or infection. When an egg is released from one of the ovaries, it travels through one of the fallopian tubes, which are narrow ducts that connect the ovaries to the uterus. Normally, the egg will join with the sperm in the fallopian tubes during conception and the now-fertilized egg will continue on to the uterus. However, the fallopian tubes are extremely fragile. If they are blocked, there's no way for the egg to become fertilized by the sperm. The fallopian tubes can be damaged by diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, infections and sexually transmitted diseases Getting pregnant when you have fallopian tubes problem To determine whether your fallopian tubes are blocked, your doctor may suggest a laparoscopy or a hysterosalpingogram (...

Stroke is the sudden death of neurons in localized brain areas due to inadequate blood supply to that area. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds, or when there’s a blockage in the blood supply to the brain. The rupture or blockage prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the brain’s tissues. Without oxygen, brain cells and tissue become damaged and begin to die within minutes.  It can be characterized with reversible and irreversible paralysis and other symptoms. It is also called CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT OR BRAIN ATTACK CAUSES 1. Heart diseases 2. Hypertension 3. High cholesterol in blood 4. High blood sugar 5. Heavy smoking  6. Heavy alcohol consumption TYPES ISCHEAMIC STROKE IsCheamic stroke occurs due to interruption of blood supply or flow to a part of the brain by thrombus or atherosclerotic embolus. HEMORRHAGIC STROKE Tho stroke is developed due to the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, there by stopping the flow of blood to a particu...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — also called prostate gland enlargement — is a common condition as men get older. An enlarged prostate gland can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It can also cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. There are several effective treatments for prostate gland enlargement, including medications, minimally invasive therapies and surgery. To choose the best option, you and your doctor will consider your symptoms, the size of your prostate, other health conditions you might have and your preferences. Symptoms The severity of symptoms in people who have prostate gland enlargement varies, but symptoms tend to gradually worsen over time. Common signs and symptoms of BPH include: Frequent or urgent need to urinate Increased frequency of urination at night (nocturia) Difficulty starting urination Weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts Dribbling at the end of urination In...

Orthostatic hypotension also called postural hypotension is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even faint. Orthostatic hypotension may be mild and last for less than a few minutes. However, long-lasting orthostatic hypotension can signal more-serious problems, so it's important to see a doctor if you frequently feel lightheaded when standing up. CAUSES Orthostatic hypotension occurs when something interrupts the body's natural process of counteracting low blood pressure. Many different conditions can cause orthostatic hypotension, including: 1 Dehydration. Fever, vomiting, not drinking enough fluids, severe diarrhea and extreme sweating can all lead to dehydration 2 Heart problems. Some heart conditions that can lead to low blood pressure include extremely low heart rate (bradycardia), heart valve problems, heart attack and heart failure. 3 Endocrine...

Salt works on your kidneys to make your body hold on to more water. This extra stored water raises your blood pressure and puts strain on your kidneys, arteries, heart and brain. Kidneys Your body removes unwanted fluid by filtering your blood through your kidneys. Here any extra fluid is sucked out and put into your bladder to be removed as urine. To do this, your kidneys use osmosis to draw the extra water out of your blood. This process uses a delicate balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across a wall of cells from the bloodstream into a collecting channel that leads to the bladder. Eating salt raises the amount of sodium in your bloodstream and wrecks the delicate balance, reducing the ability of your kidneys to remove the water. The result is a higher blood pressure due to the extra fluid and extra strain on the delicate blood vessels leading to the kidneys. Over time, this extra strain can damage the kidneys - known as kidney disease. This reduces their ability to f...

What is Neurotransmission? Neurotransmission is the process where chemical signals are transmitted between neurons and their target organ and tissue.  Neurotransmission helps to regulate excitatory and inhibitory functions in the nervous system. They are mediated by chemical substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS  What is a Neurotransmitter? Neurotransmitters are chemical substances that are transmitted between neurons and effector tissues and organs.. Types of Neurotransmitters -Excitatory Neurotransmitter -Inhibitory Neurotransmitter  Examples of Excitatory Neurotransmitter -Glutamate -Nitric Oxide -Aspartate  Examples of Inhibitory Neurotransmitter -GABA -Glycine -Serotonin -Dopamine  Note: Some neurotransmitters act as both excitatory and Inhibitory Neurotransmitters examples: Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine, they are neurotransmitters that are released from the presynaptic or pre-juctional site following the presence of action potential in the Autonomic Nervo...

  Neural Control and Coordination  Parts of nervous system (1) Nervous system is divided into three parts: (i) Central nervous system (CNS): (a) In all the vertebrates including man, CNS is dorsal, hollow and non-ganglionated while in invertebrates when present, it is ventral, solid and ganglionated. (b) CNS is formed of two parts: Brain – Upper and broader part lying in the head; and Spinal cord – Lower, long and narrow part running from beginning of neck to trunk. (ii) Peripheral nervous system (PNS): (a) It is formed of long, thin, whitish threads called nerves which extend between CNS and body parts (muscles, glands and sense organs). (b) It controls the voluntary functions of the body. (c) It has cranial and spinal nerves. (iii) Autonomic nervous system (ANS): (a) It is formed of nerve fibres extending upto visceral organs and controls the involuntary functions of visceral organs of body like heart beat, peristalsis etc. (b) It is again formed of two systems: sympathetic ...
