Aesop's Fables The Sick Lion A Lion had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and drew nearer as he grew more and more helpless. Only cowards insult dying majesty. The Ass and the Lapdog A Farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beasts of burden: among them was his favourite Ass, that was always well fed and often carried his master. The Lion and the Mouse Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him.

Glycolysis useful As I mentioned in my first post, I was working on a nice explanation for cellular respiration so here it is. I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible but keep all the information there, however this is mostly aimed at second/third year university students and anyone who might want a refresher. What is cellular respiration? Cellular respiration is quite simply a series of reactions that converts glucose in the presence of oxygen into ATP ( A denosine t ri p hosphate). This is particularly useful because ATP can undergo a type of chemical reaction called hydrolysis which will remove a phosphate group and release useful energy. ATP + H 2 O → ADP + P i — ΔG˚ = −30.5 kJ/mol It can be further hydrolysed to AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) and release some more energy. Without going off on a tangent, cellular respiration converts glucose into ATP molecules and does so in this simplified reaction: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 → 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + 34 or 38 ATP Glycolysis.

[2017] [GRI-2018-20906] Ο άγιος Γρηγόριος ο Παλαμάς με το περιεκτικό συγγραφικό του έργο, συνοψίζει την εκκλησιαστική αγιοπνευματική εμπειρία από τα πρώτα χριστιανικά χρόνια μέχρι και την εποχή του, δείχνοντας συνεχώς τη σημασία της ενότητας της πίστης και της ζωής στην έκφραση της θεολογίας. Στα πλαίσια της έρευνας αυτής αναζητήθηκαν, αποκλειστικά μέσα στα έργα του Παλαμά, οι προϋποθέσεις του ορθώς και κατά Θεόν θεολογείν, ώστε να διαπιστώσει τη σχέση μεταξύ της διανοητικής, στοχαστικής, θεολογίας και της εμπειρικής Θεολογίας, αυτής δηλαδή που προκύπτει όχι από την προσπάθεια του ανθρώπου να στοχαστεί περί Θεού αλλά από την αποκάλυψη του ίδιου του Θεού μέσα στο άνθρωπο.St. [...] (RESTRICTED) Fulltext: PDF File with license Detailed record - Similar records

Anatomy Atlases: Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation - Anatomical Variation | Radiology Anatomy | Anatomy Atlas "Variability is the law of life," Sir William Osler. "The human features and countenance, although composed of some ten parts or a little more, are so fashioned that among so many thousands of men there are no two in existence who cannot be distinguished from one another. Book 7, Sect 8." Pliny the Elder, AD 23-79. It is important to understand that no two living organisms are structurally or functionally identical - animals or plants! It is clear that textbook writers and teachers over the centuries, even until today, fail to understand or to transmit to their students the crucial concept that anatomical and physiological diversity and variation is a canon of living organisms.

Pupil stuff afferent pathways etc Weon Jun, OD, FAAO Contents Introduction Examination of the pupils is one of the most important neuro-ophthalmologic testing that evaluates the integrity of the anterior visual pathways (afferent) and the autonomic nervous system: parasympathetic (efferent pupillary pathways) and sympathetic pathways (oculosympathetic). Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Pupillary Pathways To fully understand the pupillary anomalies, an examiner must have a thorough understanding of the clinical anatomy and physiology of the pupillary pathways. The iris consists of two types of smooth muscle fibers, the circumferential sphincter and the radial dilator, which serve to regulate the size and shape of the pupil. In order to determine if a pupil is normal or abnormal, an examiner must be familiar with variations of normal pupils. In general, pupils are often larger in adolescents and middle-age patients than in very young and old patients. The Pupillary Light Reflex Pathway Afferent Pupillary Light Pathway:

The photoreceptor cells involved in vision are the rods and cones. These cells contain a chromophore (11-cis-retinal, the aldehyde of Vitamin A1 and light-absorbing portion) bound to a cell membrane protein, opsin. Photransduction-Wikipedia In the Dark Photoreceptor cells are strange cells because they are depolarized in the dark, i.e. light hyperpolarizes and switches off these cells, and it is this ‘switching off’ that activates the next cell and sends an excitatory signal down the neural pathway. The depolarization of the cell membrane opens voltage-gated calcium channels. Photoreceptors cell In the light Deactivation of the phototransduction cascade Domek-Łopacińska K. et al.
