Colon (anatomy)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In anatomy of the digestive system, the colon is the part of the intestine from the cecum to the rectum. Its primary purpose is to extract water from feces. In mammals, it consists of the ascending colon on the right side, the transverse colon, the descending colon on the left side, the sigmoid colon, and the rectum.

Diseases of the colon

Role in digesion

The large intestine comes after the small intestine in the digestive track. Although there are differences in the large intestine between different organisms but the large intesting is mainly responsible for storing waste and reclaiming water and maintaining water balance. 

By the time the chyme has reached this tube, almost all nutrients have been absorbed by the body and only water and some electrolytes like sodium and chloride are left. The chyme would move though the intestine and would ge dehydrated, mixed with mucus and bacteria, and would become feces. It is important to know that the large intestine produces no digestive enzymes and that the chemical digestion is completed in the small intestine before the chyme reaches the large intestine.

Culture
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)














There are separate pages about "The Culture" in the novels of Iain M. Banks and about the sociological term "Cultural Creatives".  Another one is about the Jamaican reggae group; see Culture (band).



The word culture comes from the Latin root colere, to inhabit, cultivate, or honor.  In general it refers to human activity; different definitions of culture reflect different theories for understanding, or criteria for valuing, human activity.  In 1952 Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn compiled a list of over 200 different definitions of culture in their book, Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and Definitions.

The popular use of the word culture in many Western societies reflects the fact that these societies are stratified.  Many use the word culture to refer to elite consumption goods and activities such as fine cuisine, art, and music.  Some label this as "high" culture to distinguish it from "low" culture, meaning non-elite consumption goods and activities.

18th and early 19th century scholars, and many people today, often identified culture with "civilization" and opposed both to "nature."  Thus, people lacking elements of "high culture" were often considered to be more "natural," and elements of high culture were often criticized, or defended, for repressing human nature.

By the late nineteenth century,  anthropologists argued for a broader definition of culture that they could apply to a wide variety of societies, they began to argue that culture is human nature, and is rooted in the universal human capacity to classify experiences, and encode and communicate them symbolically.  Consequently, people living apart from one another develop unique cultures, but elements of different cultures can easily spread from one group of people to another.  Anthropologists have thus had to develop methodologically and theoretically useful definitions of the word.  Technically, anthropologists distinguish between material culture and symbolic culture, not only because each reflects different kinds of human activity but because they consitute different kinds of data that require different methodologies.  As a rule,  archeologists focus on material culture, and  cultural anthropologists focus on symbolic culture, although ultimately both groups are interested in the relationship between these two dimensions.  Moreover, anthropologists understand "culture" to refer not only to consumption goods, but to the general processes by which such goods are produced and given meaning, and the social relationships and practices in which such objects and processes are embedded.

In the early twentieth century  anthropologists understood culture to refer not to a set of discrete products or activities (whether material or symbolic) but rather to underlying patterns of products and activities.  Moreover, they assumed that such patterns were clearly bounded (thus, some people confuse "culture" for the society that has a particular culture).  In smaller societies in which people were divided by age, gender, household, and descent group, anthropologists believed that people more or less shared the same set of values and conventions.  In larger societies in which people were further divided by region, race or ethnicity, and class, they believed that members of the same society often had highly contrasting values and conventions.  They thus used the term subculture to identify the cultures of parts of larger societies.  Since subcultures reflect the position of a segment of society vis a vis other segments and the society as a whole, they often reveal processes of domination and resistance.  

Cultural studies developed in the late 20th century, in part through the reintroduction of Marxist thought in sociology, and in part through the articulation of sociology and other academic disciplines such as literary criticism, in order to focus on the analysis of subcultures in capitalist societies.  Following the non-anthropological tradition, cultural studies generally focus on the study of consumption goods (such as fashion, art, and literature).  Because the 18th and 19th century distinction between "high" and "low" culture is not appropriate to the mass-produced and mass-marketed consumption goods with which cultural studies is concerned, these scholars refer instead to popular culture.

Today some  anthropologists have joined the project of cultural studies.  Most, however, reject the identification of culture with consumption goods.  Furthermore, many now reject the notion of culture as bounded, and consequently reject the notion of subculture.  Instead, they see culture as a complex web of shifting patterns that link people in different locales, and link social formations of different scales.

Liver
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The liver is an organ in vertebrates including humans. It plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body including  detoxification, glycogen storage and plasma protein synthesis. It also produces bile which is important for digestion. Medical terms related to the liver often start in hepato- or hepatic from the Greek word hepar for "liver".


Anatomy of the liver




Human liver, view from above


 




View from below

The adult human liver normally weighs between 1.0 - 2.5 kilograms, and is a soft, reddish-brown "wedge-shaped" organ. It is the largest organ in the abdomen and sits immediately under the diaphragm on the right side of the upper abdomen. The gallbladder lies beneath the liver. The right kidney lies below the liver.

The liver is supplied by two blood supplies - by the hepatic artery and by the portal vein. The hepatic artery normally comes off the celiac trunk. The portal vein brings venous blood from the digestive tract, so that the liver can process the nutrients and toxins extracted from food. The hepatic veins drain directly into the inferior vena cava.

The bile produced in the liver is collected in bile capillaries which merge to form bile ducts. These eventually drain into two large bile ducts which in turn merge to form the common bile duct. The bile then either drains directly into the duodenum via the common bile duct or is temporarily stored in the gallbladder via the cystic duct.

Apart from a patch where it connects to the diaphragm, the liver is covered entirely by visceral peritoneum, a thin, double-layered membrane that reduces friction against other organs. This peritoneum thickens into so-called ligaments, which hold the liver in place.


Anatomical lobes

One of these ligaments, the falciform ligament, is visible on the front (anterior side) of the liver. This divides the liver into a left anatomical lobe, and a right anatomical lobe.

If the liver is flipped over, to look at it from behind (the visceral surface), there are two additional lobes between the right and left. These are the caudate lobe (the more superior), and below this the quadrate lobe.

From behind, the lobes are divided up by the ligamentum venosum and ligamentum teres (anything left of these is the left lobe), the transverse fissure (or porta hepatis) divides the caudate from the quadrate lobe, and the right sagittal fossa, which the inferior vena cava runs over, separates these two lobes from the right lobe.


Functional lobes

The blood supply does not follow the same pattern as the anatomical lobes. The left and right branches of the portal vein and hepatic artery, as well as the left and right hepatic ducts, are divided slightly differently.

The functional lobes are divided along the line of the inferior vena cava. Each half is supplied by a different division of an artery.
These functional lobes are further divided into segments, four on each, giving a total of eight numbered segments of the liver.


Ligaments and impressions


to be filled in


Functions of the liver

The various functions of the liver are carried out by the liver cells or hepatocytes.


Disorders of the liver

Many diseases of the liver are accompanied by jaundice caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the system. The bilirubin results from the breakup of the hemoglobin of dead red blood cells; normally, the liver removes bilirubin from the blood and excretes it through bile.


A number of liver function tests are available to test the proper function of the liver.


Liver transplantation

Damaged livers often regenerate on their own. When they do not, the nonfunctioning liver can be surgically replaced. Livers for transplant can be taken either from new cadavers or from live donors. In the latter case, the donor has surgery to remove part of his or her liver, which is transplanted into the recipient. Normally, each half regenerates into a complete, functional liver. (There have been rare cases of the donors dying shortly after the surgery.)


Liver-like organs in other animals

Arthropods have a digestive gland that functions like a combination of the liver and the pancreas. In insects this organ is known as the fat body.

Mental illness (alphabetical list)
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The DSM-IV, the U.S. standard reference for psychiatry, includes over 300 different manifestations of mental illness. Psychiatrists themselves are in dispute over how common some of these conditions are, or whether they should be listed as 'mental illnesses', and each version of the DSM is slightly different to the previous ones. The DSM-IV is currently being revised and updated, and the next version will include new-and-improved manifestations of illness. This is a portion of the currently recognised list of mental illnesses.

See Mental illness for more general information.

Natural science
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The natural sciences study the physical, nonhuman aspects of the world.
As a group, the natural sciences are distinguished from the social sciences, on the one hand, as well as from the arts and humanities on the other. Natural sciences generally attempts to explain the workings of the world via natural processes rather than divine processes.

The term natural science is also used to differentiate between "science" as a discipline following the scientific method, and "science" as a field of knowledge generally, e.g. computer science or even "the science of theology".   

In some contexts, the natural sciences are definied differently (sometimes called the biological sciences, involved in biological processes), and are distinguished from the physical sciences (involved in the physical and chemical laws underlying the universe).

Pancreas
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ that that serves two functions:

Anatomy

The pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ located posterior to the stomach on the posterior abdominal wall.

In humans the pancreas is a small elongated organ in the abdomen. It is described as having a head, body and tail. The pancreatic head abuts the second part of the duodenum while the tail extends towards the spleen. The pancreatic duct runs the length of the pancreas and empties into the second part of the duodenum at the ampulla of Vater. The common bile duct commonly joins the pancreatic duct at or near this point.

It is supplied arterially by the pancreaticoduodenal arteries, themselves branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Venous drainage is via the pancreaticoduodenal veins which end up in the portal vein. The splenic vein passes posterior to the pancreas but is said to not drain the pancreas itself. The portal vein is formed by the union of the superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein posterior to the body of the pancreas. In some people (some books say 40% of people), the inferior mesenteric vein also joins with the splenic vein behind the pancreas (in others it simply joins with the superior mesenteric vein instead).


Function


Exocrine

The pancreas is covered in a tissue capsule that partitions the gland into lobules. The bulk of the pancreas is composed of pancreatic exocrine cells, whose ducts are arranged in clusters called acini (singular acinus). The cells are filled with secretory granules containing the digestive enzymes (mainly trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic lipase, and amylase) that are secreted into the lumen of the acinus. 

The pancreas is the main source of enzymes for digesting fats (lipids) and proteins - the intestinal walls have enzymes that will digest polysaccharides. Pancreatic secretions contain bicarbonate ions and are alkaline in order to neutralize the acidic chyme that the stomach churns out.

Control of the exocrine function of the pancreas are via the enzymes gastrin, cholecystokinin and secretin, which are enzymes secreted by cells in the stomach and duodenum, in response to distension and/or food and which cause secretion of pancreatic juices.

The two major proteases the pancreas excretes are trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. These are inactivated forms of trypsin and chymotrypsin. Once released in the intestine, the enzyme enterokinase present in the intestinal mucosa activates trypsinogen by cleaving it to form trypsin. The free trypsin then cleaves the rest of the trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen to their active forms.

Pancreatic secretions accumulate in intralobular ducts that drain to the main pancreatic duct, which drains directly into the duodenum.


Endocrine

Embedded throughout the exocrine tissue are small clusters of cells called the Islets of Langerhans, which are the endocrine cells of the pancreas and secrete insulin, glucagon, and several other hormones. The islets contain three different types of cells — alpha cells (produce glucagon), beta cells (the most numerous, produce insulin), and delta cells (produce somatostatin). There are also the PP cells and the D1 cells, about which little is known.

Social sciences
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)



The social sciences comprise the scientific study of the human aspects of the world. They are also known as social studies.

Psychology studies the human mind, sociology examines human society, political science studies the governing of groups and economics concerns itself with the allocation of wealth in society. Social sciences diverge from the humanities in that the social sciences emphasise  the scientific method or other rigorous standards of evidence in the study of humanity.

The main social sciences include:


Anthropology and History are sometimes classified as social sciences or as humanities.  Furthermore, anthropology is sometimes classified as a natural science.

Non-traditional approaches to social sciences include:

Thomas More
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Sir Thomas More (February 7, 1478 - July 6, 1535) was Lord Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII and had a European reputation as a humanist author.  His most famous work was  Utopia in which he created an imaginary island-kingdom in which some modern scholars have seen an idealized opposite of More's contemporary Europe and in which other modern scholars have seen a wicked satire of the same Europe.  Desiderius Erasmus dedicated his In Praise of Folly to More -- the word "folly" is moria in Greek.


 
 

 
 
 
More was born in London, England. More was attached to Henry's court by 1520 and knighted in 1521.


Henry VIII's Divorce

Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop of York, failed to bring about the divorce and annulment Henry had sought and was forced to resign in 1529.  More was appointed chancellor in his place, Henry evidently not realizing More's resistance to the matter.  Being well-educated in canon law as well as deeply religious, More knew that the annulment of sacramental marriage was a matter within the jurisdiction of the Papacy, and the position of Pope Clement VII was clearly against the divorce.

Henry's reaction was to put himself in charge of the church in England.  Only the clergy were required to take the intial Oath of Supremacy declaring the sovereign to be the head of the church.  More, as a layman, would not have been subject to this oath, but, he resigned his chancellorship on May 16, 1532 rather than serve the new regime.

More escaped an initial attempt to connect him with a treasonous matter, but in 1534 Parliament passed the Act of Succession, which included an oath (1) acknowledging the legitimacy of any children born to Henry and Anne Boleyn, and (2) repudiating "any foreign authority, prince, or potentate."  Like the Oath of Supremacy, this was not required of all people, but only those specifically summoned to take it, in other words, those in public office and those under suspicion of not supporting Henry.  More was called to take this oath in April of 1535 and, on his refusal, imprisoned in the Tower of London.  He was tried, convicted, and sentenced and then executed on Tower Hill on July 6th.  His head was displayed on London Bridge for a month, then retrieved (after the payment of a bribe) by his daughter, Margaret Roper.

More is a saint of the Catholic Church, canonized in 1935.  On October 31, 2000, Saint Thomas More was declared "The heavenly Patron of Statesmen and Politicians" by Pope John Paul II.  See http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/stt04003.htm.

Much has been made by Ricardians (those concerned with the rehabilitation of Richard III of England) of More's manuscripts of the History of Richard III, from which much anti-Richard propaganda derives, including Shakespeare's play.  The work exists in several versions, in both English and Latin, and all incomplete; it was not published during More's lifetime, but was found among his papers after his execution, some quarter of a century after it was written.  Extensive study of the content by modern historians has demonstrated it to be John Morton's account of events that happened between when More was 3 and 6 years old, apparently written up by More for educational purposes in developing his language skills, probably in rhetoric and translation.  He no more believed the "facts" in it to be true than Morton did, and the style of the writing suggests that it was either a parody, as Alison Hanham thought, or "a literary exercise in the dramatic representation of villainy," as Jeremy Potter described it.  Some historians have argued it was Morton's work that More merely copied as an exercise in penmanship, but others discern in it the same kind of irony and sarcasm that appear in More's other writings, a style that Morton never achieved.


Biographies

Robert Bolt's play "A Man for All Seasons" is about Sir Thomas's losing battle against King Henry's determination to have an English national church that he could control.  Two films have been made of that play: the 1966 Oscar winner starring Paul Scofield and a 1988 version starring Charlton Heston.

Thyroid
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In anatomy, the thyroid is an endocrine gland.
It is situated on the front side of the neck, just below the Adam's apple, near the thyroid cartilage over the trachea but covered by layers of skin and muscle. The thyroid is quite large for an endocrine gland -
15-30 grams - and butterfly-shaped: the wings correspond to the lobes and the body to the isthmus of the thyroid.

The primary function of the thyroid is production of hormones:

The gland is composed of follicular tissue that selectively absorbs
iodine (more accurately iodide ions, I-) from the bloodstream and concentrates it for production of thyroid hormones. The follicle is built of a single layer of epithelial cells, surrounding a colloid rich in a 
protein called thyreoglobuline. It serves as a reservoir of materials for
thyroid hormone production and, to a lesser extent, a reservoir of the hormones
themselves.

In areas where iodine - essential for the production of thyroxine - is
lacking in the diet, the thyroid gland can be considerably enlarged, resulting
in the swollen necks of endemic goitre.

Thyroxine is critical to the regulation of metabolism and growth, throughout the animal kingdom. Among amphibians, for example, administering a thyroid-blocking agent such as propylthiouracil can prevent tadpoles from metamorphosing into frogs; conversely, administering thyroxine will trigger metamorphosis.

In humans, children born with thyroid hormone deficiency will not grow well, and brain development can be severely impaired, in the condition referred to as cretinism.  Newborn children in many developed counties are now routinely tested for thyroid hormone deficiency; this is done by analysis of a small drop of blood from the child (usually, the blood also is tested for phenylketonuria and several other metabolic diseases of genetic etiology). Children with thyroid hormone deficiency are easily treated by supplementation with synthetic thyroxine, which enables them to grow and develop normally.

Because of the thyroid's selective uptake and extreme concentration of what is actually a quite rare element, it is extremely sensitive to the effects of various radioactive isotopes of iodine produced by nuclear fission. In the event of large accidental releases of such material into the environment, the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid can, in theory, be blocked by saturating the uptake mechanism with a large surplus of non-radioactive iodine, taken in the form of iodide tablets. While biological researchers making compounds labelled with iodine isotopes do this, in the wider world such preventive measures are usually not stockpiled before an accident, nor are they distributed adequately afterward - one consequence of the Chernobyl disaster was an increase in thyroid cancers in the years following the accident. [1]

The most common diseases of the thyroid:

Diagnosis

The measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels is useful in the diagnosis of hypothyroidism (thyroid hormone deficiency), since TSH levels are often elevated before decreased levels of thyroid hormones T4 and T3 are detectable.
