Muscle Strain Overview- Muscle strain‚ also termed as muscle tear and muscle pull is related to the muscle damage and its attached tendons. It occurs when you give excessive pressure on muscles during performing daily life activities like during sports or heavy weight lifting.it can be in the form of tearing of the fibres of your muscles and attaching tendons. In addition to this it also affects small blood vessels which leads to bleeding‚ bruising and pain. Causes- A severe muscle strain occurs

They serve as selective barriers‚ transport functions‚ or movement of mucus and detritus over surfaces. Some epithelial tissues serve sensory functions as well. B) Connective tissues are dispersed populations of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix that the cells themselves secrete

faulty genes are abnormal‚ causing the muscles to slowly disintegrate. Unable to function properly‚ the muscle cells die and are replaced by fat and connective tissue. The symptoms of MD may not be noticed until as much as 50% of the muscle tissue has been affected. All of the different types of MD cause weakening and wasting of muscle tissues. They vary‚ however‚ in the usual age at the beginning of symptoms‚ rate of progression‚ and initial group of muscles affected. The most common childhood type

The collection and use of human tissue samples‚ from the deceased or living‚ is a practice doctors and surgeons perform to be able to undergo research on diseases‚ cancers‚ and the functionality of tissues in the human body. While there are many issues surrounding the use of human cells and tissues in scientific research‚ the main problem pertains to morality and subsequently ownership and consent. Laws today state that patients must give consent to donate tissue samples to doctors for this procedure

The epidermis is where the epithelial cells are located‚ the dermis are where connective tissues‚ nerves‚ and blood vessels start to appear‚ and the hypodermis is where fat cells are located. The dermis of both tissues are divided into 2 layers of connective tissue. The connective tissue right below the

Development) The term phloem originates from the Greek word‚ phloios‚ meaning “bark”. (Merriam-Webster) In vascular plants‚ phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients‚ particularly sucrose‚ to all parts of the plant where needed. (Lalonde S‚ 2004) Phloem’s main job is to move sugars from the source tissue (ex. photosynthetic leaf cells) to sink tissues (ex. non-photosynthetic root cells or developing flowers). Molecules like proteins and mRNAs also are transported to parts of the plant by

Tissue Engineering: The Future of Surgery and Medicine The only thing worse than needing an organ? transplant is the waiting list. The average wait time for a heart transplant is four months and the wait time for a kidney extends to around five years. This issue is being addressed by scientist with the intention of changing the future. Tissue engineering is on the verge of becoming one of the most vital resources in medicine; it has a growing importance in organ and cartilage replacement and is

Your skin‚ for example‚ is a formidable barrier against many things. Skin is created when the basal cells in skin are dividing by the process of mitosis and‚ as division takes place‚ the cells get pushed upwards. As a result‚ the newer cells tend to stay near the bottom of the epithelial tissue‚ and the older cells get pushed upward and eventually are

Plant Tissues A mature vascular plant (any plant other than mosses and liverworts)‚ contains several types of differentiated cells. These are grouped together in tissues. Some tissues contain only one type of cell. Some consist of several. Meristematic The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small‚ thin-walled‚ with no central vacuole and no specialized features. Meristematic tissue is located in • the apical meristems at the growing points of roots and stems. • the
