fibrocartilage. Hyaline cartilage makes up the tip of our nose. Elastic cartilage is what gives the shape to our external ear. Fibrocartilage is found in the intervertebral discs. Dense regular connective tissue is named for two properties; the collagen fibers are closely packed and leave relatively little open space‚ and the fibers are parallel to each other. Collagenous fibers are very abundant in tendons and

Vitamin C? Before I go on to explain what Vitamin C has to do with our skin color‚ I think it’s important to know just what Vitamin C is first. Vitamin C (also called Ascorbic Acid) is a water-soluble vitamin‚ and is needed by our bodies to form collagen in bones‚ cartilage‚ muscle and blood vessels. We get Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables‚ particularly citrus fruits like lemons‚ limes and oranges. It is also readily available in pill or liquid supplements. Although it is a vitamin‚ Vitamin

Lab 4 Histology Name AL List the four types of tissue found in the human body and give an example of each. 1. Epithelial 2. Connective 3. Muscular 4. Nervous Epithelial tissue What are the characteristics of epithelial tissue? it never has contact with another cell‚ it always has a free surface. They contain no blood vessels (avascular) and depend on underlying tissues for needed nutrients and oxygen sources to maintain homeostasis. it is usually very thin for this reason

Chapter 12: The Antioxidant Nutrients - start march 4 at ~ 42 mins - Slide 1 * we produce a lot of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from reactions in the body‚ especially from energy metabolism * these ROS can damage the molecules in the body‚ especially in dna and rna molecules and lipids. This can have serious consequences on the health of the individual * one of the ways that the body deals with ROS is by having compounds that can help to neutralize the radicals or protect the body

resorption or destruction of old bone. They also carry out other small roles. There are four main types of bone cells: Osteogenic‚ which are bone cells that respond to traumas‚ osteoblasts‚ which form bone matrix around themselves by laying down collagen fibers and depositing the hard mineral material‚ osteocytes‚ which respond to the bodies need for lower or higher circulating level of minerals contained in the bone and osteoclasts‚ which break down bone tissue. Bone cell replacements have a turn

Enzyme concentrations Hypothesis The higher the concentration of protease enzyme the higher the rate of breakdown of the egg white. This is because egg white is mainly formed of collagen‚ which is a protein‚ which is what the enzyme protease breaks down. The more enzyme there is the more enzyme substrate complexes are formed which break down peptide links between the monomers of the protein accelerating the amount of protein broken down in a space of time. How the results will be obtained

Muscle contractions are the way that humans are able to move within the enviornment that surrounds them. To be able to understand the complexity of movement‚ there needs to be an understanding of the gross and micro-anatomy muscle contraction‚ and an understanding of the physiology of muscle contraction. This paper will provide an explaination of both the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction. Anatomy of Muscle Contraction There are three types of muslces within the human body: skeletal

Microdermabrasion In advanced esthetics there are many devices that can be used to treat problem of the skin. One of this advanced devices is Microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a form of mechanical machine exfoliation that was first invented in Europe approximately in 1985. In 1994 Italian company Mattioli Engineering disigned first closed- loop microdermabrasion system. In gained popularity quickly in the many European contries and soon after come to
