Human Tissues - Lesson 2

-




This lesson is about human tissues. To do a specialized activity, same cells combine together to form a tissue . Study of tissues is called Histology, and one who specialized in Histology is called Histologist.

There are different kinds of tissues in our body to perform different functions .Similar cells combine together to form a tissue.

Different kinds of tissues:

1. Nerve tissue
2. Connective tissue
3. Muscle tissue
4. Epithelial tissue

Now we study about all human tissues one by one

1.Nerve tissue: Nerve tissues are combination of nerve cells as we have already studied the main function of nerve cells is conduction of impulses through out the body, and so the job of nerve tissue is also the conduction of impulses.

2. Connective tissue: The examples for Connective tissues are Adipose tissue, Cartilage and bone. Cartilage is an elastic and fibrous tissue attached to bones.

3.Muscle tissue: There are two types of Muscle tissues in our body such as Voluntary muscles and Involuntary muscles. Voluntary muscles are found in legs and arms and in the parts of the body where the movement is voluntary. Involuntary muscles are found in our body where the movement is involuntary or the movement is not in our conscious control, such as heart and digestive system. Cardiac muscle is a best example for an involuntary muscle tissue.

4. Epithelial tissue: These tissues are placed through out the body as a covering or lining or internal organs in exocrine and endocrine glands as well as an external covering covers the body as skin.  Understood well about human tissues?...now we move on to the next lesson of BODY ORGANS...come on.

HUMAN BONE STRUCTURE - LESSON 200

-
Now in this post we will learn about the structure of the bone. In our human body there are 206 bones of different types are there. The thigh, lower leg, and upper and lower arm consists of long bones. These bones have large surface areas for muscle attachment and are very strong, are broad at the ends where they join with other bones. There are five types of bones in the human body. The five types are long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid. 1. Long bones:- These bones are comprised mostly of compact bone and lower amounts marrow, which is located within the medullary cavity, and spongy bone and are characterized by a shaft, the diaphysis, that is much larger in length than breadth. These bones are mostly present in the limbs, including those of the fingers and toes are long bones. Except the wrist, ankle, and kneecap these long bones are located in most. 2. Short bones:- These short bones are generally cube shaped and having a thin layer of compact bone surrounding a...

IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-3-LESSON 148

-
1. Magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground radio signals are used to outline sagittal, coronal, and axial pictures of the body. 2. Megavoltage- High-energy radiation engendered by means of an equipment and employed in restorative x-ray analysis intended for cancer. 3. Nuclear medicine- This is a medical speciality, which examines and employs of radioactive materials called radionuclides within identification and treatment of ailment. 4. Orthovoltage- Emission of low-energy radioactive waves that are employed in pain-killing radiation therapy and exterior skin cancer diseases. 5. Palliative- Means just soothing or painkilling, not curing completely that is not possible. 6. PET scan or positron emission tomography- Radioactive materials are administered using intravenous route and these substances give out positrons. They generate a cross-sectional picture of the metabolism of the body. These images symbolize local concentration of the radio...

The Longest Medical Word

-
Image
Today, we will know about an interesting medical term in medical language. This post is just to know about a different thing in the medical language, though this word is used very rarely in our day-to-day medical transcription work. The longest medical word is "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"!!!!!. Can you read at least Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.  Now, we will see the meaning of this word.  To know the meaning shall we split the word by word. Okay.  1.  Pneumono 2.  Ultramicrosopic 3.  Silico 4.  Volcano 5.  Conosis. So, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis comprises of 5 medical words and in combination, they give a meaning of a certain kind of disease condition related to lungs.  Now, we will see the meaning of each to get the combined understanding of the longest medical word. Pneumono means lungs, ultramicroscopic - means minute, silico means silicon, volc...
