What are lipids? Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats‚ oils‚ waxes‚ certain vitamins‚ hormones and most of the non-protein membrane of cells (Mandal‚ 2012). In understanding catabolism‚ it would be best to consider the overall metabolic process‚ and the molecules are being technically burnt to extract the energy. The cellular respiration is a catabolic process‚ and mainly glucose

Lipids enter the lacteals and pass through the lymphatic vessels to the venous circulation. The lymph passing through these lymphatic vessels‚ called

Arteries carry blood away form the heart the extremities and organs. They have typical three layer blood vessel wall structure with a thick tunica media. The walls of arteries are highly compliant due to the elastic fibres present. The wall thickness of the arteries varies in based on the proximity to the heart. The elasticity of arteries allows pressure absorption from the left ventricle of the heart as it pumps blood into the arteries. There are two significant types of arteries‚ elastic and muscular

Introduction The development of this device is basically to wrap around the forearm of the patient and it will provide accumulated pressure around the forearm. This device is non-pneumatic thus it will not use any air pressure or pump to operate. Current device use in the market

Tonsillitis is inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils. The inflammation usually extends to the adenoid and the lingual tonsils; therefore‚ the term pharyngitis may also be used (1). Tonsillitis most often occurs in children; however‚ the condition rarely occurs in children younger than 2 years. Tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus species typically occurs in children aged 5-15 years‚ while viral tonsillitis is more common in younger children (1). Most cases of bacterial tonsillitis are caused by group

The main common carotid artery splits into the external carotid artery and the internal carotid artery. The external carotid artery supplies blood to the exterior features outside of the skull‚ primarily the exterior of the face and the neck. The internal carotid artery supplies blood to the interior of the skull

When the baby is born its circulation needs to be changed because now the baby must breathe by own using its lungs. Increased level of pO2 causes spasm of the umbilical arteries and‚ as follows‚ decreased venous return to the right atrium. The vascular resistance in the lungs drops and all cardiac output flows through the pulmonary vessels now. Increased return to the heart through the pulmonary veins causes the raised pressure in the left atrium. As result of the changes described above foramen
