Cell division is a fundamental process in which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. It allows for growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms. There are two main types of cell division: mitosis (in eukaryotic cells) and binary fission (in prokaryotic cells). Additionally, eukaryotic organisms undergo a specialized form of cell … Read more
Transport across the cell membrane is essential for cells to exchange materials with their environment and maintain homeostasis. Types of transport across cell membrane mechanisms Passive transport across cell membrane Passive transport does not require energy input from the cell, as it relies on the natural movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration … Read more
Structure and functions of cell: Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life. They can be classified into two main types: prokaryotic cells (found in bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotic cells (found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists). Both cell types share some basic structures and functions, but eukaryotic cells are generally larger … Read more
Basic anatomical terminology is essential for accurate and effective communication in the fields of anatomy, physiology, and medicine. These terms provide a standardized way to describe the location, orientation, and relationships of body structures. Some fundamental anatomical terms include Anatomical Position A reference point for describing the location and orientation of body structures. The anatomical … Read more

Anatomy: Definition and Scope Anatomy is the study of the structure and organization of living organisms, particularly focusing on the physical makeup of the human body. It involves examining the body’s various parts, including bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels, nerves, and tissues. Anatomy is further divided into several branches: Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy): Studies the … Read more
The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is a complex network consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Its primary function is to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body, maintain body temperature, and help fight infections. The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis and overall … Read more
Plasma Drug Concentration-Time Profile is a graph that represents the concentration of a drug in plasma over time, used to assess and analyze each ADME phase. Phases of the Profile: Absorption PhaseDrug enters the bloodstream, increasing plasma concentration until it reaches Cmax (maximum concentration). Distribution PhaseDrug disperses to tissues. Influenced by blood flow, lipophilicity, and … Read more
