Having the information that collagen was abundant protein in vertebrates people are used to extract collagen from mammals. But due to negative effects of collagen from mammals‚ fish skin serves as another option because it also contains collagen. It is much safer for it’s being said that marine collagen are not associated with the risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) outbreaks which is common in pig‚ cow or any mammals’ skins and bones. In extraction of collagen we can be able to produce

Keloid Background- It is a result of an overgrowth of granulation tissue (collagen type 3) at the site of a healed skin injury which is then slowly replaced by collagen type 1. Keloids are firm‚ rubbery lesions or shiny‚ fibrous nodules‚ and can vary from pink to flesh-coloured or red to dark brown in colour. A keloid scar is benign and not contagious‚ but sometimes accompanied by severe itchiness‚ pain‚[2] and changes in texture. In severe cases‚ it can affect movement of skin. Keloid is the medical

1. Hemostasis Hemostasis is the first stage of acute wound healing. It is characterized by the formation of a primary plug to prevent any further blood loss and exposure to environmental pathogens. Once the tissue has been injured‚ the vascular and lymphatic vessels that are disrupted become constricted. The reparative coagulum is initiated as platelets adhere to the interior surfaces of the vessels as well as to a newly forming matrix of fibrin that together become the cruor of the thrombus‚ thus

December 18th‚ 2013 Block 8 Body Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems

method. Pig valves are trimmed then fixed in buffered glutaraldehyde at high pressure. A pig heart valve is comprised of three main components: collagen‚ elastin‚ and glycosamino¬glycans (GAGs). Collagen fibers provide strength to the overall structure while elastin molecules give the valve elasticity. Finally‚ GAGs act as a cushion between the collagen and elastin layers. Glutaraldehyde has been shown to sterilize the tissue and prevent inflammation. The problem is‚ glutaraldehyde causes faster

Anatomy Outline Notes Exam 1 Developmental Anatomy – is the way anatomy changes over time in a single species -somites are segmental blocks found in embryos that form muscles & vertebrae etc. Comparative Anatomy – is the comparison of anatomies between different species. -all known vertebrates have common feature (skull & vertebrae): this leads to evolutionary theory.
