spinal myotatic reflexes

reflexes are the most objective part of neurologic examination and are very helpful in determining the level of damage in the nervous system

its GIT tutorial

The physiology of Gastrointestinal tract can easily be studied and reviewed in these sites/links

Copy paste this link into your address bar cause the web prompter of this blog seemed to have conked out. Once in the webpage scroll to GIT or digestive system and open the specific topic to take the online test. It is advisable to review the animation of the same topic before proceeding to the test question. You will learn and have fun too!

Botulinum toxin

Mr Gaitano during the discussion of Clostridium botolinum, a gm+ bacilli has asked about the use of this toxin medically.

The popular use of BOTOX treatment must be the subject Gaitano was asking about. Botox is afterall botulinum toxin and is used for its capacity to block acetylcholine release at motor-end-plate. If we could recall, the acetylcholine vesicles in the nerve terminal need to bind with the presynatic membrane so that it can be released by exocytosis. This is the precise process that is being block by the toxin. The inhibition of acetylcholine release then results in loss of impulse conduction to the sarcolemma and thus lost of muscular contractility or tone. This is seen as flaccid paralysis in the affected musculature.

Thus it is this action that the toxin is used for treatment of spastic muscular conditions.

set point of temperature regulation

how does the body control its temperature? There is a set point temperature from deep tissues which other parts of the body have to follow. Peripheral temperature that is either above or below the set point will trigger body reflex mechanisms to facilitate heat-loss or heat conservation.

back to staining

Gram staining has to do with:

peptidoglycan in the cell wall

basic dyes and its chromophore

a mordant dye to form dye-iodine complex
