Human body systems within

An organ is a component of the human body system made of one or more tissue types and has specific jobs within the complex network. Tissue is a collection of similar cells and the surrounding supportive environment that together perform specific tasks. There are four basic categories of tissues epithelium, which constitutes surfaces such as skin, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve tissue. ... 

In the human body, carbon dioxide provides the buffer. This is called the carbonic acid-hydrogen carbonate ion buffer system. This buffer system maintains the body s blood pH within acceptable levels. The main threat to the bloods pH is excess hydrogen ions produced by various chemical reactions in the body. When hydrogen ions are produced, hydrogen carbonate ions in the blood pick them up and convert them to carbonic acid ... 

Cells communicate to coordinate the biochemical functions within the human body. If the communication system is interrupted or messages are not conveyed fully, our bodily functions can go haywire. An example of this is discussed in Exhibit 2.2 if the p53 protein is mutated, cell growth is unchecked... 

Traditionally the technique of the medical physicist, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been used to investigate the internal structure of the human body and the transport processes occurring within it for example, MRI has been used to characterize drug transport within damaged tissue and blood flow within the circulatory system. It is therefore a natural extension of medical MRI to implement these techniques to study flow phenomena and chemical transformations within catalysts and catalytic reactors. 

Serotonin is a very ancient neurotransmitter and has been found in the venom of amphibians, wasps, and scorpions and within the nematocysts of the sea anemone as well as in the nervous system of parasitic flatworms, crickets, and lobsters. Within the human body, 90% of the total serotonin is contained... 

Within the pharmaceutical industry research and development refer to two distinct phases that may lead to approval of a new medicine. The research (or discovery) phase focuses on the design and synthesis of molecules that show biological activity in model systems and have desirable pharmacokinetic properties in the human body [1]. The development phase takes those new molecules to the marketplace and involves steps to ensure that the optimum compound form and formulation are selected for product efficacy and stability.
