PROSTATE CANCER-LESSON 122

-
What prostate?  Prostate is a gland of chestnut in shape, which surrounds the foundation of the urethra (a canal which shows the say on or after the bladder that releases the urine outwardly and ejaculates semen during sex) in the male. The prostate gland is a component of the male reproductive organ that lends a hand to creat and stock up seminal fluid.

For the reason that of its location, prostate often gets infection or any other illnesses and over and over again and which have an effect on urination, ejaculation, and on the odd occasion defecation. The prostate is full of many small glands and which put together approximately 20% of the fluid adding up to semen. When this gland takes part in cancer, the cells of these glands transmute and hooked on into cancer cells.

The prostate glands need of androgen (common phrase for an hormone agent which excites activity of the accessory male sex organs and promotes growth of male sex uniqueness and this is a by-product of androstane), male hormones to their job accurately.

Androgens consist of testosterone (created in maximum amount by the interstitial cells of the testes and also perhaps produced by the ovary and adrenal cortex; possibly created in nonglandular tissues from androstenedione; which is brings into play in the management of hypogonadism, cryptorchism, menorrhagia etc.,), which is made in the testes; dehydroepiandrosterone secreted by the adrenal glands; and dihydrotestosterone, which is transferred from testosterone within the prostate itself. These androgens are also accountable for derivative sex attributes for example hair in the face and bulk muscles etc.

Anatomy of the prostate:  In fully developed adult men usually the prostate is roughly 3 centimeters of length. Prostate gland weighs about 20 grams. The location of this is in the pelvis (a big bone of cup-shaped at the inferior end of the stem of the body formed the hip bone i.e. the pubic bone, ilium, and ischium on each side of the body in front), which is situated below the urinary bladder facing the rectum. The prostate enfolds a fraction of the urethra.

Prostate Cancer:  This cancer commonly comes about in men who are more than 50 years of age. Watchful rectal checkup by a doctor with digital palpation is an useful method for recognition o near the beginning prostatic carcinoma. Lymphangiography and CT scans are able to identify lymph node metastases of prostate cancer.

Identification of Prostate Cancer:  When one person affected by prostate cancer his level of an enzyme called acid phosphatase is generally released into the blood in small quantities by the prostate normally. If the person has metastatic prostate cancer his level of acid phosphatase will increase in high levels when do the blood test.

Treatment for Prostate Cancer:  Treatment for this cancer commonly be surgical that is removal of the prostate gland called prostatectomy. The other nonsurgical methods include radiotherapy and hormonal chemotherapy. As the prostatic cancer cells need androgens for the development of cancer, antiandrogen hormones will also be helpful, as well as estrogens to slow down development of cancer cells.

In the next lesson we will learn about Prostate Cancer Staging. Okay.

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

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
