What type of receptors are most likely to be classified as silent receptors?
Silent receptors are a proportion of total receptors that are to be occupied before there is any response. It is an model and these are not a distinct subgroup of receptors.
When occurring after death the digestion of cells by their own enzymes is referred to as?
This is autolysis, from "auto" for "self" and "lysis" for "break down".
Can an abnormal lymph node be something other than cancer?
Yes, it can also be abnormal due to chronic inflammation, infection (lymphadenitis) or just a congenital/developmental abnormality.
Who is the father of modern pathology?
Elie Metchnikoff was a pioneer in the field of studying how the body defends itself against invading microorganisms. He discovered phagocytosis and won a nobel prize in 1908 for his work in ths area. It also led to his becoming known as The father of immunology
What are the specific bacterial infections of lymphocytosis?
usually bacterial infections cause an increase in neutrophils the exception is Bordetella pertussis which causes whooping cough results in lymphocytosis
Why would they do a lumpectomy without a biopsy first?
If the lump is in a delicate place, or there is a strong probability of cancer, the entire lump would be removed without a biopsy being collected first.
Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, cells and body fluids.
Study of disease
Why to use RBC diluting fluid for counting?
You can use any isotonic solution like Normal Saline Solution (NSS), Hayem's and Gower's.
Why are biopsy punches illegal in some states?
It's only illegal for body piercing and because its widely used as a "Medical device"
I'm not a coroner but here is my answer:
Underlying causes of death can predispose a person to die from immediate causes of death. That means underlying causes aka "chronic conditions" (they were there for a long time) can increase the likelihood of someone dying from an immediate cause. Example: a man who is 200 lbs overweight, has a stressful job, eats crap all the time and smokes three packs of cigarettes per day gets in a wicked argument with his wife and drops dead. The immediate cause turned out to be acute stress but that's not the whole story. The complete picture includes underlying causes i.e. obesity, smoking, stress (and everything that comes along with these: atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease); it is all this that really set the guy up to drop dead from an argument.
What is the concept of social pathology?
social pathology is the concept of family illness that are found in one family
What is hydropic degeneration?
Hydropic degeneration is a condition in which excessive amounts of water accumulate in dysfunctional cells. In general, hydropic degeneration is reversible, provided the inciting cause is resolved prior to cell death.
Hydropic degeneration is commonly seen in cells collected from areas of edema.
What is the relation between nissl's bodies and ribosomes?
The prominence of the Nissl substance can be explained by the fact that nerve cells are metabolically very active, and hence are involved in large amounts of protein synthesis.
What do you call the organism that help plants and animals?
The organisms helping plants and animals are called symbioants. Usually micro-organisms like bacteria and some algal forms establish symbiotic relationship with plants and animals.
What type of preparation is needed for a thyroid fine needle biopsy?
If a needle biopsy is done, no special preparation is needed. If a large needle biopsy is being done, the doctor may order some tests to determine the clotting ability of the blood.
This is a noncancerous growth on the vocal folds, generally attributed to overuse or abuse of the vocal cords. These are most common in people who vocalize for a living - orators, singers, stand-up comedians, etc.
yes
I don't know who else has arteriosclerosis, but people (mostly children) that have progeria (growing old quickly)can get it.
What does yellow marrow store?
Yellow bone marrow mostly stores and is made up of fat cells. The yellow bone marrow makes up about half of the adult human bodies bone marrow.
A pathology report is a document that gives results of an examination of cells and tissues. This is usually an microscopic examination and the report interprets the results.
Infants: 3000/mm3
adults: 900/mm3
Assuming a healthy individual?
Why nucleus is the largest organelle in animal cell?
The nucleus must enclose the entire genetic complement of a cell - and in molecular terms that is enormous. The human genome is about 3 gigabases, which if it wasn't spooled up in chromatin and chromosomes would measure a few yards long. In addition, there must be room for all the proteins associated with DNA (structual proteins like histones, regulatory proteins like transcription factors, DNA polymerases, DNA repair proteins...) and of course enough void space for molecules to diffuse through and reach their targets. Thus, the nucleus must be comparatively massive. No other organelle seems to require such size and it might even be detrimental to many - the mitochondria for example with its reliance on establishing a proton gradient for ATP production would be far less efficient if it was the size of the nucleus. Imagine how many more protons would have to be pumped to set up a gradient if the mitochondria was that big! Smaller sizes are often better as they permit the creation of areas of high concentration of enzymes and molecules without the cell having to engage in massive synthesis.
It should be stressed that when cells do need bigger structures they can build them. Multicellular organisms often have specialized cell-types where other organelles are vastly larger than the nucleus. Adipocytes / fat cells in animals for example contain a single massive fat vesicle that dwarfs the nucleus. Similarly, the actin / myosin bundles in muscle cells are far larger than the nuclei of those cells.
