Emulsification of Fats

May 15, 2023June 29, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 4 Comments.

Emulsification of fats is an important process in digestion in which large globules of fat are broken down into smaller droplets. This process is carried out by bile, a substance produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile emulsifies fats by acting as a detergent, breaking down the fat into smaller droplets that can be easily digested and absorbed by the body. Without this process, the digestion and absorption of fats would be much less efficient.

Endocytosis and Exocytosis – Differences , Similarities ,Roles, Steps , Types

April 26, 2023October 6, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Endocytosis and Exocytosis are cellular processes used to move molecules in and out of cells, respectively. Endocytosis involves the formation of a vesicle to engulf and transport molecules into the cell, while exocytosis involves the fusion of a vesicle with the plasma membrane to release molecules out of the cell. These processes play important roles in nutrient uptake, waste elimination, cell communication etc.

Endocytosis -Definition, Mechanism, Types, Examples

April 20, 2023April 26, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

Endocytosis is a cellular process by which cells absorb molecules and particles from the external environment by engulfing them within a vesicle. There are three main types of endocytosis – phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Endocytosis plays a crucial role in nutrient uptake, immune defence and cellular signalling. Examples of endocytosis include the uptake of bacteria by immune cells and the absorption of nutrients by intestinal cells.

Human Circulatory System

April 7, 2023February 7, 2024 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

The human circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells and tissues throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body through arteries and the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through veins. The circulatory system also helps remove waste products from cells and helps regulate body temperature.

Ascent of Sap

April 5, 2023May 3, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 1 Comment

The Ascent of Sap is the movement of water through the Xylem vessels from the roots to the leaves. It is essential for various processes such as photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration. The cohesion-tension theory is widely accepted to explain the mechanism of the Ascent of Sap, where water moves up through the Xylem vessels due to a combination of transpiration and cohesive forces. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind affects Ascent of Sap

Blood Coagulation (Blood Clotting)

April 3, 2023November 9, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Blood coagulation or blood clotting is a complex process that prevents excessive bleeding after an injury. It involves platelets, clotting factors, fibrin, and endothelial cells and occurs in a series of steps including vasoconstriction, platelet activation, the coagulation cascade, clot retraction and fibrinolysis. There are many clotting factors involved in coagulation. Disruptions to any of them can lead to bleeding disorders or unwanted blood clots.

Phloem – Definition, Structure, Function, Types and How does Phloem tissue work

March 23, 2023March 23, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

Phloem tissue is a type of vascular tissue in plants that transports sugars, amino acids, hormones and other organic compounds from the leaves to the rest of the plant. The tissue is made up of several different types of cells like sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibers. Phloem tissue plays a critical role in plant growth and development by facilitating the transport of hormones, defending against pathogens, transmitting signals and storing nutrients. There are two types of phloem tissue- primary phloem and secondary phloem.

What’s Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure?

March 19, 2023December 23, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 2 Comments.

Blood pressure is a vital sign that reflects the pressure of blood against the walls of arteries. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood out into the body, while diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. This article will provide an in-depth look at the differences between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and why they are important .

Heart Valves- Types, Location, Structure and Functions

March 17, 2023November 1, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 3 Comments.

The human Heart has four chambers, and four valves ensure that blood flows in the correct direction. The valves are made up of thin flaps of tissue that open and close like doors. There are four main types of Heart valves – the Aortic Valve, Mitral Valve, Pulmonary Valve and Tricuspid Valve. Each valve plays a vital role in regulating blood flow in and out of the Heart. Any problems with the valves can lead to a variety of conditions that affect Heart function.

Veins – Structure , functions ,Venous System and Circuits and Vein Valves

March 16, 2023April 11, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 6 Comments.

Veins are vital blood vessels that collect oxygen-poor blood and transport it back to the heart. They are made up of three layers of tissue and fibers, and can contain one-way valves that keep blood flowing in the right direction. Veins transport oxygen-poor blood throughout the body and oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the heart. Veins require external forces such as breathing and muscle movement to push blood in the right direction.
