1. Acetylcholine (ChA) Acetylcholine (ChA) is a classical neurotransmitter‚ which is mainly located in neuromuscular junctions‚ where this chemical stimulates motor neurons to active muscles‚ in synapses and other sites across the central nervous system. Cholinergic neurons are the cells that uses acetylcholine to send its messages and perform other important functions [22]. Acetylcholine is synthesized in neuronal terminals from acetyl CoA and choline‚ the enzymes of this reaction is choline

In a blood film the nucleus of leucocytes will be stained purple‚ this allows neutrophils‚ lymphocytes and monocytes to be identified from each other by the shape of their nuclei.

It is define as an Acute Infection Disease with a large number of atypical lymphocytes. Caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. There may be abnormal liver function and spleen enlargement. Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is often called the kissing disease. The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva‚ so you can get it through kissing‚ but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze‚ or by sharing a glass or food utensils with someone who has mono. However‚ mononucleosis isn’t as contagious

Asthma Asthma is described as an inflammatory condition of the lungs with no cure. This condition is a chronic or long-term lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. This inflammation makes the airways swollen and incredibly sensitive. The airways then tend to react to certain substances that cause irritations. When the airways are irritated by these substances the muscles around the airways tighten and narrows the airways. The narrowing airways then cause a lack of air flow into the lungs

However‚ egg and sperm cells have only 23 chromosomes‚ and mature red blood cells do not contain any chromosomes at all. Karyotyping can be done on most other cells in the body‚ but usually it is done on white blood cells (lymphocytes). A karyotyping test most frequently is done on a blood sample taken from a vein. It also can be done on cells taken from a tissue sample (such as skin or bone marrow)‚ from amniotic fluidor from Chorionic Villus sampling (CVS). For more information

that work together to protect the body. White blood cells‚ also called leukocytes ‚ are part of this defence system. There are two basic types of these germ-fighting cells: * phagocytes ( fah-guh-sytes)‚ which chew up invading germs * lymphocytes ( lim-fuh-sytes)‚ which allow the body to remember and recognize previous invaders Leukocytes are found in lots of places‚ including your spleen‚ an organ in your belly that filters blood and helps fight infections. Leukocytes also can be found

leucocytes called granulocytes (they have granular cytoplasm and lobed nuclei) and agranulocytes (the cytoplasm appears smooth and the nucleus is rounded or horseshoe in shape). Agranulocytes consist of monocytes (phagocytic against foreign cells) and lymphocytes which produce antibodies. Granulocytes consist of neutrophils (phagocytic and contain lysosomes)‚ eosinophils (phagocytic against allergens) and basophils which makes heparin to prevent unnecessary blood clots and serotonin to allow phagocytes to
