The Nephrons are the smallest filtering unit of the Kidneys. This video by the Biomed Sessions is very helpful in understanding how nephrons filter our blood.

From this video, we can see that the unfiltered blood enters the afferent arteriole, then passes through the glomerulus. Although the blood exits the efferent arteriole, the glomerular…[Read more]

The article entitled, “Histology, Blood Vascular System” talks about the structure and function of the blood vessels. It also talks about how to prepare the histology slide of these tissues. The blood vessels are an essential component of the cardiovascular system. They are responsible for delivering blood to the various organs and tissues in the…[Read more]

A growing body of evidence suggests that the autonomic nervous system is involved in the morbidity and mortality associated with certain cardiovascular diseases. The amount of sympathetic activity has been linked to ventricular arrhythmias. In this study, they wanted to see if fibrosis, a marker for previous ischemia events, correlated with an…[Read more]

Sulawesi medaka’s circulatory system, particularly the heart and bulbus anteriosus, is similar to that of zebrafish, however, there are some changes in the anatomy of the circulatory system and other elements comparable to other Teleostei fish. These findings show that Sulawesi medaka fish can be utilised as models, particularly in cardiovascular…[Read more]

The human cardiovascular system is suggested to occupy a major predilection site of divine aesthetics through the measure of the renowned “Golden Ratio” otherwise known as Divine Section, Divine Proportion, and Golden Mean. Due to the fact that the golden ratio and angle are immensely rooted in nature, numerous correspondence in healthy heart…[Read more]

This article talks about the ocular manifestations in individuals with a history of cardiovascular illness. Ocular diseases such as roth spots, retinitis, embolic retinopathy, and sub-retinal abscesses are all symptoms of untreated infective endocarditis. In patients with untreated infective endocarditis, hypoperfusive, hypertensive, or “mixed”…[Read more]

Here’s an excellent article I read that you might be interested in! Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death, and it is a public health problem that must be addressed globally.
The article written by Jaehoon Chung and other co-authors mainly discusses the relationship between histological features of Helicobacter Pylori (HP)…[Read more]

This article talks about the complex architectures of vascular networks. The cardiovascular system is the first organ to function during vertebrate embryogenesis and is in charge of delivering oxygen and nutrients to all of the body’s cells. The cardiovascular system is a circulatory loop in which blood goes from the heart to the microvasculature…[Read more]

Our sexes has a role in our cardiac physiology and even in its response to heart diseases. Since structure determines function, our cells and tissues also play in an important role for our heart’s response to cardiac diseases. In the face of cardiac disease, women have greater cardiac function and survival than men; however, this sex advantage is…[Read more]

In the Philippines, heart diseases belong to the top ten leading causes of morbidity. The World Health Organization (WHO) also reported ischemic heart disease as the number one cause of death worldwide as of 2019. Thus, it is safe to say that heart diseases are indeed the world’s greatest killer.

This information is especially concerning as the…[Read more]

To all pregnant women who love to drink coffee, it is recommended to take a break first before drinking one. To sacrifice is needed to avoid complications with the baby’s health and the mother’s status too.

The ingestion of chemicals that have been shown to have a negative biological effect on the body can cause adaptive physiological changes in…[Read more]

Since this intricate system permits the fetus to obtain oxygenated blood and nutrients from the placenta, I’m sometimes curious about how the circulatory system works for fetal compared to adult. I know it’s made up of the placental blood vessels and the umbilical cord, which has two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein. However, I discovered…[Read more]
