Normal Flora Of Human Body And The Risk Of Infectious Disease

Normal flora of human bodyMicroorganisms are found everywhere such as in the air, water, soil, plants and animals. Without microbes the life on the earth will become unbalanced, because the microbes play an important role in supporting the cycles of the earth. All of the human beings contains microorganism in their body, which are known as the normal flora of the body. The internal tissues, e.g. blood, brain, muscle, etc in a healthy human bei…

An Evaluation On The Simplicity Of Scientific Theories

The Philosophy of Occam’s Razor
In this paper, I will argue that the simple theories should be preferred in science over the complex ones from a subjective point of view using the Bayesian model of evidence in science. In this paper, I will explore the various standpoints of people criticising the several versions of the “Occam’s razor” that inherently talks about the preference of the simple theories over the complex …

Homeostatic Control Of Heart Rate, Breathing Rate, Temperature, And Blood Sugar Regulation, Kidney Structure And Function, Skin Structure And Burn Impact

Heart Rate ControlThe heart rate is usually regulated and/or controlled by impulses which are produced by both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nerves within the Sino-atrial node. The parasympathetic nerve system mainly functions as a calming system and thus functions when the heart is at rest (Zhang, 2009). The vagus nerve as part of this system makes the heart to beat slower when need be. The sympathetic system on the other hand accor…

Principle Of Homeostasis, Feedback Mechanisms, And Hormone Action – Understanding Molecular Processes

Understand homeostasis and feedback mechanismsHomeostasis is a kind of process in which the body maintains a stable internal environment and it is the very significant approach for the body to control the function of the cells (Blau, et al., 2015). It is observed that it has the potential to control and manage the stable internal environment and there are many things which require to be regulated which are described below:
The temperatur…

The History, Types, And Uses Of Stem Cells

HistoryThe stem cells that have characteristic features of differentiation into stem cells that can divide further through mitosis and produce more stem cells. They are found in multi-cellular living things. In warm blooded cells, there are two wide sorts of stem cells: embryonic youthful cells, which are isolated from the internal cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues (Izadpanah et al. 2015). Stem …

Koch’s Postulate, Bacterial Population Growth And Gamma Proteobacteria

Koch’s PostulateFor many years, epidemics of contagious infections were believed to be as a result of the wrath of ancient gods, or miasma. German physician Robert Koch (1843-1910) helped in establishing a method useful in identifying a disease-causing agent.  Koch’s postulate refers to the four criteria formulated in 1880’s to help in the determination of a causal relationship between a disease and its causative microbe (Inglis 200…

Study Of Myogenesis And Proliferation Of C2C12 Cells

MethodsThe general aim of the experiment was to study myogenesis of C2C12 cells and investigate the appearance of Myosin Heavy Chain and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) during differentiation and proliferation. This aim was achieved through several lab sections with different objectives. The first lab section’s aim was to learn how to seed, culture and even differentiate and determine viability of C2C12 cells. Through the secon…

Tetanus, Wound Observations, And The Immune Response Analysis

1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus1a. Clostridium tetani, a bacterium that can infect wounds exposed to soil or dirt is an endospore-forming, rod shaped bacterium that can cause tetanus. In Mary’s case she had got an open wound when working in her garden and this could have exposed her wound to the soil and also to the bacterium…
