Equilibrium and Inner Ear - Lesson 280

-


In this post, we will learn about inner ear equilibrium. We all know already that human ear has three parts, such as, outer ear or pinna, middle ear, and inner ear. Each ear has its own significance in sending sound waves from our surroundings to the brain. The inner ear is an important area in maintaining equilibrium in the brain. What is equilibrium? Equilibrium is the feeling of balance. Balance of being is maintained by the inner ear. If one is off balance, then that state is called dizziness. Dizziness is purely a physical state and this equilibrium is maintained by three canals in the inner ear. Now we will see in detail about this now.

Inner Ear Equilibrium Problems: Inner ear has three organs that are responsible for balance. The name of these three semicircular tubes are semicircular canals, saccule, and utricle respectively. These three tubes contain a liquid named as endolymph and small sensitive hair like cells inside it. When we move head, this liquid is fluctuated because of the movement of the head. Due to this fluctuation, impulses are formed within the hair cells and so the vibration is transformed to the brain. Then the communication from the brain is sent to the muscle cells in all parts of the body and so inner ear equilibrium is maintained.

Auditory Receptors:   In the inner ear, the auditory liquids and auditory receptors are present inside an organ named organ of Corti in the labyrinth. Due to the problem in the inner ear, we are getting some abnormal conditions, such as benign positional vertigo, Miniere's disease, labyrinthitis or any other tumors. Benign positional vertigo is a disease condition of inner ear equilibrium. In the next lesson, we will learn about vocabularies of eyes and ears. Okay. Come on.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions - Lesson 5

-
Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Grammar is very crucial in any language.  A medical transcriptionist must be well-versed in his language skills i.e. writing skills.  This unavoidable skill needs specialized knowledge in English grammar apart from strong listening skills and medical language skills, computer operating skills, and fast typing skills are of having secondary importance to be a successful medical transcription professional. In this post, we will see about basic parts of speech in English, such as, 1.  NOUN. 2.  PRONOUN. 3.  VERB. 4.  ADVERB.  We will see about one by one now. 1.  Noun - A noun is used to denote a name of a person, animal, place, of a inhuman thing in the universe.  For example, 1.  John is a name that denotes a boy.  2.  Dog is a name that specifies an animal. 3.  San Diego is mentioned to denote a place. 4.  Stone is denoted to specify an inhuman thing.

Body Cells and Differentiation-Lesson 1

-

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
