Complement System

Complement system

The complement system is part of the immune system that helps enhance the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear pathogens. It consists of a cascade of proteins that can amplify the immune response, leading to inflammation, cell lysis, and opsonization. Complement System Pathways : The complement system can be activated through three main … Read more

Physiology of Respiration

Physiology of Respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. It begins with inhalation, where the diaphragm contracts, expanding the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs. Oxygen is then absorbed into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is released. 1. Breathing Inspiration (Inhalation): Expiration (Exhalation): 2. External Respiration 3. Transport … Read more

Renal Physiology

Renal physiology focuses on how the kidneys function to maintain homeostasis in the body. The kidneys filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, and maintain acid-base balance. Key processes include glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Structure of Kidney: A frontal section through the kidney reveals an … Read more
