do you know how to define genes?

genes are made up of DNA. DNA in turn is made of mulititude of nucleutides. Nucleotide is a chemical compound made up of a nitrogen base, phosphoric acid and sugar.

genes are more known for its function in heredity but it is also respsonsible for the daily activity of the cell : that's why it is called the control center of the cell. Cytoplasmic activity is the due to enzyme-regulated chemical reactions. Genes dictate the kind of structural and globular protein that will be produced. The specialization of cellular function for instance is controlled by the genes.

But genes are inside the nucleus and to command cytoplasmic acitivity it needs to exert its control in the cytoplasm by some mechanism. This is thru RNA synthesis. With specificity of nitrogen base pairing this control mechanism of the genes is almost perfect till the code is translated in the cytoplasm

incentive spirometry

How it is done
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDgvhZjz0g8&feature=related

Deep breathing helps alveoli, the small air sacs deep in your lungs, fully expand. When you lie in bed for a long time (while recovering from injuries or surgeries, for instance) you tend to take shallow breaths and not cough as often as needed. You might start taking shallow breaths in an attempt to decrease pain associated with chest surgery or abdominal surgery.

Using an incentive spirometer will help you return to normal breathing rhythms. By inhaling deeply, you also help mobilize secretions and open areas of the lungs that my have collapsed.Using an incentive spirometer will mimic natural sighing and yawning and encourage you to take slow, deep breaths. Not only will this help restore your regular breathing rhythm, but it will also help you avoid atlectasis (a collapsed or airless condition of the lung) and pneumonia.

blood clot formation

Its but rbc and platelets trapped in a meshwork of fibers called fibrin

These are the general processes involved in clot formation

1. vasoconstriction
2. formation of platelet plug
3. formation of clot
4. formation of fibrous tissue
