What is chemo microscopy?

Chemo microscopy is a technique that combines chemical analysis with high-resolution imaging to study the chemical composition of samples at the microscopic level. It allows researchers to visualize the distribution of different molecules within a sample and is often used in fields such as materials science, biology, and medicine. By providing both structural and chemical information, chemo microscopy can provide valuable insights into the composition and behavior of samples.


What is the term pertaining to MEDICINE?

The term is "medical." It relates to the practice of medicine, including diagnosing, treating, and preventing illnesses and injuries.


Death from head and neck cancer?

No - still alive obviously but 2nd recent reoccurrence of Head and Throat cancer, tonsil area, jawbone, and left side of face. Very concerned about 'nil' treatment options since I can not undergo surgery nor re-radiation. Currently chemo but not working that great. Trying to do alternative treatment as well. Wondering how long I have since chemo is not a 'cure' for head and throat cancer. And, wondering 'how much chemo can I body take?


Is there a cure for terminal illness?

There is always Chemo Therapy to help cure it, but sometimes it doesn't work. Many people use Chemo for some cancers to give them more time to live.


Bacteria can obtain their nutrition by?

Bacteria can obtain their nutrition by either absorbing nutrients from their environment or by breaking down organic matter through the process of fermentation or decomposition. Some bacteria are also capable of photosynthesis, using sunlight to create energy through chemical reactions.

What is the primary chemo receptor responsible to initiate inhalation?

The primary chemoreceptor responsible for initiating inhalation is the central chemoreceptor located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. These receptors primarily respond to changes in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and pH in the cerebrospinal fluid. When CO2 levels rise, leading to a decrease in pH, the central chemoreceptors stimulate the respiratory center to increase the rate and depth of breathing, thereby promoting inhalation. This response helps to regulate blood gas levels and maintain homeostasis.


Where in the body can you find chemo-receptors?

You can find chemoreceptors in your tongue (taste buds) and in your olfactory system (your nose).


What role of chemo receptors play in breathing?

Chemoreceptors play a crucial role in regulating breathing by detecting changes in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and pH in the blood. Central chemoreceptors, located in the brainstem, primarily respond to rising CO2 levels, which signal the body to increase the rate and depth of breathing. Peripheral chemoreceptors, found in the carotid and aortic bodies, monitor O2 levels and also contribute to the respiratory response. Together, these chemoreceptors help maintain homeostasis by ensuring adequate oxygen supply and efficient removal of carbon dioxide.


What chemo-receptors measures pH and CO2 only?

The chemoreceptors that specifically measure pH and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are primarily the central chemoreceptors located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. These receptors respond to changes in the pH of cerebrospinal fluid, which is influenced by CO2 levels due to its conversion to carbonic acid. Additionally, peripheral chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies also respond to changes in CO2 and pH, but they primarily monitor oxygen levels. Together, these chemoreceptors help regulate respiratory function to maintain homeostasis.


What factors control breathing rate?

Breathing rate increases when: -The respiratory center senses high CO2 levels and high H+ (hydrogen ion) concentration (controls pH). -Carbonic Acid/Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2+H2O<->H2CO3(carbonic acid)<->H(+)+HCO3- -There are low blood O2 levels (sensed by chemo-receptors in certain blood vessels) -Emotions, fear, and pain can also increase breathing rate
