Histology of Human Tissues: Ureter, Bladder, Urethra, Spleen, Tonsils, and Skin
Ureter
Mucosa: Transitional epithelium and fibroelastic lamina propria. Smooth muscle: Two or three layers (longitudinal and circular, internal and external), with an outer longitudinal layer in the lower third. Adventitia.
Bladder
Transitional epithelium: Laminated epithelium consisting of cubic basal cells, polygonal intermediate cells, and superficial umbrella cells. Fibroelastic lamina propria. Smooth muscle. Adventitia.
Urethra
Mucosa, muscle, adventitia.
- Male (20-25 cm): Transitional epithelium

Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is used to analyze the human genome and understand evolution.
Stratigraphy and Ecology
Stratigraphy studies soil horizons, while ecology explores organism-environment relationships.

- Aristotle: Proposed the scala naturae, a classification of organisms.
Odontogenic Infections: Causes, Types, and Treatment
Odontogenic Infections
Odontogenic infections are primarily caused by bacterial plaque. The oral cavity contains different layers of organisms, such as streptococci and lactobacilli. Food particles, initially loose on the teeth and mucous membranes, can be removed by rinsing. However, these particles can become trapped between teeth and impact their surfaces. At this stage, they can only be eliminated by mechanical methods, such as brushing and flossing.
There are two types of bacterial plaque:
- Supragingival
Venous Return and Cardiac Function: Key Factors
Factors Affecting Venous Return and Cardiac Function
Venous return is the amount of blood flowing from the veins into the right atrium each minute. Several factors influence the increase in venous return:
- Active Muscle Pumping: This is a major factor, especially at the calf level, where it acts as a peripheral heart. Proper assessment and treatment of muscular and osteoarticular disorders are crucial in managing venous disease.
- Thoracic Aspiration: This effect is relatively minor and is partially offset
Human Body Coordination: Nervous and Endocrine Systems
Coordination of the Human Body
The coordination of our body is achieved using two systems:
- The nervous system, which consists of:
- The central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) – receives and processes information to control body functions.
- The peripheral nervous system (composed of nerves that arrive at or depart from the central nervous system) – transforms messages from the central nervous system to organs and vice versa.
- The endocrine system
