What is Interstitial Fluid and its Vital Role in Cellular Health and Function

February 9, 2024February 9, 2024 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Interstitial fluid, also known as tissue fluid, occupies the spaces between body cells, acting as a crucial part of extracellular fluid. Originating from blood plasma through capillary filtration, it provides essential nutrients and oxygen to cells while removing wastes. Its composition, similar to plasma but with fewer proteins, supports various physiological processes, including nutrient transport and waste removal.

Key Organs of the Lymphatic System: Functions and Locations.

Why is Lymph called Extracellular Fluid?

May 4, 2023February 9, 2024 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

y Lymph is called extracellular fluid because it is outside the cells and bathes the cells in the body.

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.

A neatly labeled xylem diagram to understand xylem tissue. Xylem consists of vessel elements, tracheids, fibers and parenchyma cells each with unique functions in water and nutrient transport and structural support. Important features such as cytoplasm, the nucleus and bordered and simple pits are also shown in the diagram. Students can use this easy-to-draw diagram for their assignments and exams.

Components of Xylem

March 24, 2023March 24, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 9 Comments.

Xylem is a vital plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It is made up of several components, including tracheids, vessel elements, fibers and parenchyma cells. Tracheids and vessel elements form long tubes that allow for efficient water transport, while fibers provide structural support. Parenchyma cells help with storage and metabolic functions.

15 Difference between Xylem and Phloem

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

Xylem and phloem are vital plant tissues with different tasks. Xylem transports water and nutrients upwards from the roots, while the phloem transports sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Their composition, flow direction, location, transport mechanism, speed of movement, response to injury, fibres, distribution, movements and roles within plants provide fascinating insights.
