How Hormones Work ? Their Mechanism and Inhibition
Hormones are the chemical messengers in the animal body. There are many hormones in the human body secreted from endocrine glands. Their function is vital for normal body physiology. The deficiency or hypersecretion can lead to hormonal disorders in case of malfunction. So, their synthesis and secretion are tightly regulated by the brain. How hormones […]
Read MoreAnatomy vs Physiology | The Differences and Significance
Anatomy and physiology are the two important aspects of the study of an organism. One is not complete without the study of another. They are completely inter-related systems in the body. But one is related to structure and other is related to function. Anatomy deals with structure form minute levels to the macro-levels. Similarly, physiology […]
Read MoreHow are ATP and ADP Related ?
When we discuss how are atp and adp related, we should focus in three aspects like their role in the body, their chemistry and finally their synthesis and location. ATP and ADP are both involved in energy generation to the body, Both of them are energy molecules which can impart required energy for different physiological […]
Read MoreJAK STAT Signaling | The Cell Pathway in Physiology, Disease and Death
JAk stands for Janus kinase and the STAT for signal transducers and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT). These pathways are indeed one of the pleiotropic cascades used to transduce a multitude of alerts for the improvement and homeostasis in the animals and humans. In mammals, the JAK/STAT pathway is the fundamental signaling mechanism for a big […]
Read MoreRed vs White blood cells | Differences and Similarities
Blood cells are part of liquid connective tissue. These cells are freely moving and have an important function in the body. As you might have known, there are 3 types of cells in the blood like Red blood cells White blood cells Platelets. Of the three, red blood cells and white blood cell carry important […]
Read MoreRibosomes Function | Their Role in Protein Synthesis
Ribosomes function is primarily limited to protein synthesis in the cells. But they also act as targets for few drugs in the treatment of diseases. Ribosomes are complex structures having two sub units. One subunit is larger one while the other one is smaller in size. Chemically they are a combination of ribonucleic acid with […]
Read MoreImportance of Lysosomes | Role in Growth, Disease and Fertilization
Importance of lysosomes is not limited to cell death alone. As we know, lysosomes are the cell organelles which act as storehouses of catalytic enzymes. Many hydrolytic lysosomal enzymes enclosed in the membranous organelle. The lysosomes are primarily involved in digestion, cell death, repair, defense and also growth. The hydrolytic enzymes are enclosed inside the […]
Read MoreLysosomes | Their Structure, Location and Functions
Lysosomes are the membrane organelles present in both plant cells and animal cells. They are also present in protozoa but absent in the bacteria. Instead, a periplasmatic space in between cell wall and cell membrane play the role similar to lysosomes. Lysosomes are present near to the cell membrane or even attached it. They have […]
Read MorePlant Cell Parts | Their Structure and Functions
Plant cell parts are almost similar to animal cells with few exceptions and functional differences These plant cells are eukaryotic cells The plant cell is rigid and hard than the animal cells. Further, plant cells are green in color due to the presence of special pigments which aid in photosynthesis. Though there are many similarities, […]
Read MoreFacts About Plants | Scientific and Interesting Points
Plants are the primitive forms of living beings on the earth. They are supportive to all other forms of living beings on the earth. Plants are present on the land, in the waters of rivers and oceans. They grow where ever possible and withstand even natural calamities. Hence, we can notice plants growing on the […]
