Blood Cells

Functions

  • Transport of gases, primarily oxygen
  • Obtain energy by glycolysis, since they have virtually no organelles inside
  • The basic protein is hemoglobin, whose prime role is oxygen transport between lungs and cells
  • In humans, the hemoglobin should be within the erythrocyte to maintain (only a small part is outside and does not last long)
  • Carbonic anhydrase has a key role in transport of CO2
  • Hemoglobin is the main blood buffer. Most of this function is due to hemoglobin

DNA (DNA) Concept:


Chemically are polynucleotides consisting of d-AMP, d-GMP, d-CMP and d-TMP. The nucleotides of DNA have neither uracil nor ribose, as mentioned above.

Features:

The cellular DNA have a high molecular mass, many millions of daltons. For example: the human genome consists of pairs of nucleotides 3×109. This makes them a very long molecules, for example, 1.7 ?M in the case of poliovirus and 2.36 m if we add up all the DNA of all chromosomes in a human cell. DNA was first isolated

General Properties of Proteins

Proteins have diverse functions, including:

  • Enzymatic activity
  • Carrying capacity
  • Energy reserve
  • Contractile capacity
  • Structural support
  • Defensive or immune function
  • Regulatory properties

Some proteins incorporate non-protein substances, forming protein conjugates. The amino acid portion is called the prosthetic group. Glycoproteins, lipoproteins, and metalloproteins are the most important conjugated proteins.

1. What is Nutrition?

Nutrition is the process by which our body extracts required nutrients from food, transforms them, and incorporates them into body structures. It allows living beings to obtain the matter and energy necessary to stay alive. This involuntary and unconscious process uses matter to build and renew our biological structures and energy to carry out vital functions.

2. What are the Functions of Nutrients?

Energetic

These nutrients provide energy to develop vital functions and provide

Dental Formula

Definition-The term definition is mainly used to describe the arrangement of teeth, including their number and types. A normal adult has 32 teeth. Animals have different types and shapes of teeth, which are specialized based on Nutrition in animals or their eating habits.

What is a Dental Formula?

The method of expressing or describing the total number of teeth in man and animals according to the arrangement is termed as the Dental Formula. This formula is expressed using letters and

Salivary Glands

Submandibular Gland

This gland is located on the underside of the floor of the mouth, surrounding the rear edge of the mylohyoid muscle and resting on its upper surface. The excretory duct, or Wharton’s duct, runs forward under the tongue and empties on each side of the midline.

Sublingual Gland

The smallest of the salivary glands, the sublingual gland sits above the mylohyoid muscle, slightly lateralized. It has several excretory ducts, the most important being the duct of Rivinus.
