mast cell and non-specific inflammatory response

Mast cells are present in most tissues in the vicinity of blood vessels, and are especially prominent near the boundaries between the outside world and the internal milieu, such as the skin, mucosa of the lungs and digestive tract, as well as in themouth and conjuntiva and nose

Mast cells play a key role in the inflammatory process. When activated, a mast cell rapidly releases its characteristic granules and various hormonal mediators into the interstitium and starts the inflammatory process

nice animation how the kidney does its work

how kidney works

Where can you find a priest that would insult or embarass somebody just because of his pride? At ADI! Ignoring school bullying complaint just because his pride is hurt?! Whatever happens to "in personal Christi Capitis"?

so we're closing first semester ..be sure to study these topics
heart sounds, cardiac cycle, muscle twitch and arterial pressure regulation

study chapter 18 of  Guyton for next  lab activities

CARAM,TUMINEZ, BADEO top physiolab midterm exam

eow...my apology for the clerical lapse

TUMINEZ tops physiolec exam

congratulations also to Caram, Fama and Bayona

coverage for physiolab prelims

study cell structure and function
study functional units of different organs, different tissues

o you know how to define genes?

o 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

when mutation occurs then that's the start of the malignant growth or cancer

Physiology Study TipsPhysiology is a difficult subject, covering a large volume of challenging materials.
Below are a number of suggestions you might consider that will facilitate learning and performing well on exams:
1. Come to class.The best guide for understanding which concepts are most important and how they will be applied and examined is to attend lecture.
Studies have shown that you remember only 10% of what you read, but 20% of what you hear. So show up, listen and learn more.
2. Come to class prepared.
At a minimum, this means reading ahead the section of the print notes to be covered that day. Reviewing the previous day's notes as well will further prepare you forroup.Studying doesn't have to be a solitary, boring endeavor. Make it a social activity that you can look forward to, and enjoy. As indicated above, you learn a lot more by discussing something than by just reading it, and for that reason group work is highly effective as a learning tool.
3. Are you trying all of this, and still not making the grade?--- maybe this is not for you

neoplasm slides

Malignant tumor

•          Cancer from mesenchymal tissues

•           - sarcomas

•          Fibrosarcomas

•          Liposarcomas

•          Leiomyosarcmas

•          Epithelial cell origin – carcinomas

•          Adenocarcinoma

•          Squamous cell carcinoma

Characteristics of benign and malignant

•          1. degree of differentiation and anaplasia

•          2. rate of growth

•          3. local invasion

•          4. Metastasis

Differentiation

•          Extent to which parenchymal cells resemble comparable normal cells

•          Well differentiated – resemb;ling mature normal cells

•          Poorly differentiated – primtive looking,

                               unspecialized cells

•          All benign tumors are well diffrentiated

Malignant tumors

•          Range from well differentiated to undiffrentiated

•          Undiffrentiated –   pleomorphic,hyperchromatic

•          Large nuclei – 1:1 instead of 1:4 1:6 ratio

Rate of growth

•          Slow – benign

•          Cancer – fast, erratic

•          Generally proportionate to their level of differentiation

Local invasion

•          Benign tumors grow as cohesive expansile masses and remain localized

     - don’t have the capacity to infiltrate invade or metastasize to distant sites

Cancers grow by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue

     - poorly demarcated

 

Metastasis

 

•          Tumor implants away from the primary tumor

•          Implies malignant growth

•          benign tumor do not metastasize

Pathway of spread

•          Seeding cavities and surfaces

•          Lymphatic spread

•          Hematogenous spread

Grading and staging for cancer

•          Grading is based on degree of differentiation

•          Grades 1 – 4 on degree of anaplasia

•          Staging is based on size of primary tumor

•            extentent of spread to lymph node

•            presence  or absence of metastasis

•          TNM classification

SCHOOL BULLYING, ATENEO de ILOILO POD AND SCHOOL CHAPLAIN.

Bullying happens in every school;

GOOD SHCOOLS

are proactive in their approach and deal with incidents of bullying promptly, firmly and fairly.

BAD SCHOOLS

deny it, ignore it, justify it, rationalise it, handle it inappropriately, sweep it under the carpet, blame the victim of bullying, blame the parents of the victim of bullying---http://www.bullyonline.org/schoolbully/myths.htm
AT ADI the

POD

penalizes the victims of serial bully when they stand up against bullies while the

school CHAPLAIN

would not want to lose a nice breakfast to listening to anything pertaining to school bullying. This is the kind of school authorities that perpetuate and nurture school bullies to become monsters. Shame. I even lose appetite thinking this could happen in a catholic school.

BACTOL a cut above the rest

Did I say that two years ago? Congratulations!
