Fibrinolysis

 Fibrinolysis



Fibrinolysis refers to the process that brings about the dissolution of fibrin. The important component of the fibrinolytic system is plasmin or fibrinolysin, which is present in the blood in an inactive form called plasminogen or profibrinolysin. The fibrinolytic or the so called plasmin system causes lysis of blood clot, allowing slow cleaning of extraneous blood clots in the tissue. It also allows reopening of clotted blood vessels. Especially, it removes minute clots which are formed in many tiny peripheral vessels, which would eventually occlude if there was no plasmin system.

Process of lactation/lactogenesis

 Process of lactation/lactogenesis - Souti Das To provide milk to neonates, at the end of pregnancy around the time when the young is born, the mammary glands undergo a process that initiates milk secretion, called lactogenesis. The human mammary gland is composed of about 20 lobes, each with an excretory lactiferous duct that opens at the nipple. Loves, in turn, are composed of several lobules, which contains secretory structures called alveoli, and the terminal portions of the ducts. The epithelia of the alveoli and ducts are composed of apical luminal ductal or alveolar cells and a myoepithelial cell layer on the basal side of the epithelium. Myoepithelial cells are stellate, smooth muscle-like cells, and contraction of these cells in response to oxytocin expel milk from the lumina of the alveoli and ducts.

Fertilization In Sea Urchin (CSIR NET Developmental Biology)

Fertilization In Sea Urchin - Malay Nayak 1.        What is sea urchin? ·          Spiny water animal ·          Phylum ECHINODERMATA ·          Roughly spherical sea animal Sea Urchin   2. Why Sea Urchin ? The cell-surface events that take place during fertilization have been studied most extensively in sea urchins, members of the phylum Echinodermata . ·    Sea urchin gametes are easy to collect, ·    fertilization occurs outside the animal body. ·    As a result, researchers can observe fertilization and subsequent development simply by combining eggs and sperm in seawater in the laboratory.
