According to Rodak’s (2016)‚ Platelets‚ which are also known as thrombocytes‚ initiate the vessel wall repair when damaged to keep the integrity of blood vessel and regulate the hemostasis. Platelets are round or oval‚ no nucleus‚ and small in size ‚ ranging from 2 to 4 μm in dimater. They are vital to life and are studied for their significance physiology. Consequent to vessel injury‚ platelets are activated to form plug at the site of injury to prevent blood loss. Vessel injury exposes the subendothelial

Evolution of the Regenerative Properties in Crayfish Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs‚ tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy‚ resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish)‚ compete for food‚ survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the

The scaffold should be biodegradable to avoid certain risks that can take place with any foreign material in the human body. Approach B‚ on the other hand‚ acquires scaffold materials loaded with or without suitable growth and differentiation factors to be

2.1 Cell Theory 2.1.1 Outline the cell theory The three main principles of the cell theory are: * All organisms are composed of one or more cells * Cells are the smallest units of life * All cells come from pre-existing cells New Concepts * Cells contain the blueprint for their own growth‚ development and behavior * Cells are the site of all the chemical reactions needed to sustain life * Cells (and multicellular organisms) show emergent properties – appears as complexity

Embryonic VS Adult Stem Cell Research Stem cell research just by saying its name creates an uneasy feeling because it is such a controversial topic. There are many ethical and moral issues that make people uneasy because they can’t decided whether they should side with the more ethical side of this research‚ adult stem cell‚ or the more well known‚ embryonic stem cell. This ethical issue between the two research categories gives rise to another issue that isn’t usually discussed. This issue is

maintenance of vascular integrity. Under certain conditions‚ as in hemorrhage or infection‚ just the right type of blood cell is expanded to compensate for the loss or to meet the demands of the individual. Red blood cell proliferation and differentiation increase with acute blood loss. White blood cells increase in number during acute infection. In the absence of serious pathology‚ the blood system returns to its basal state once the needs of the individual are met. Blood system homeostasis

specific to that organ‚ in that each individual cell shares a common chemical DNA that is only found in that organ. For example the cells in the heart share a different DNA sequence to those in the liver and vice-versa. When a cell shows this differentiation in chemical structure‚ that cell is specialized. When a human embryo is forming‚ its cells are specializing and are becoming organ specific cells. Before they do so they are called stem cells because these cells are “babies” and belong to no organ
