The Remarkable Physiology of Oscar PistoriusThis morning, my email inbox was full of stories about Oscar Pistorius contemplating legal action against the IAAF for trying to exclude him from selection for the SA Olympic team. The grounds for his 'legal action'? Two reasons:First, the IAAF last week suggested that Pistorius would be dangerous in a relay event, where the athletes are all bunched to

Love, Death, Solitude… and thus goes the long list of “driving” factors that made men spit out some of the best works of literature. But I don’t know why no one ever even mention “exam” the wonder stuff. As far as I know, it is a promising theme for research. It is one scenario that tears open the true potential of human brain.

Yesterday, in Part I of our series on men vs. women, we looked at the evolution of the world record in the marathon event, and how the relatively late entry of women into the event threw a few “scientific” predictions off course! The theory has long been that in the longer distance events, women would close the gap on men for two major reasons. Firstly, the strength advantage enjoyed by men is less significant to success in those longer events, and so women might be able to hold their own when it is endurance, rather than power that is important. Secondly, the theory is that women have a greater store of body fat that would allow them to produce energy more effectively than men, resulting in better performances in the events where the use of fat may be an important determinant of success (that is, marathons and longer) Examining performance across the spectrum In today’s Part II, we look at this issue in a little more detail, and expand our scope from marathons to incl

1.)A Biomedical Engineer must have a knowledge of the structure of the living body (Anatomy) and its function (Physiology) , so that it is essential for understanding the human system and the funtctioning of most of biomedical instruments.2.)Since Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field based in both engineering and life sciences, it is important for biomedical engineers to have knowledge about and be able to communicate in both areas. Biomedical engineers must understand the basic components of the body and how they function well enough to exchange ideas and information with physicians and life scientists. Two of the most basic terms and areas of study in the life sciences are ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY.3.)Anatomy refers to internal and external structures of the body and their physical relationships,whereas physiology refers to the study of the functions of those structures.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is synthesised, stored and released by the Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary Posterior pituitary Thyroid glandAnswerTags: MCQ, Physiology, TSH, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

The correct answer is AEstrogen levels peak just prior to ovulation providing maximal stimulation of the cervical glands producing an outpouring of clear, watery mucus. This mucus produced by the cervix permits and encourages the passage of sperm into the uterus during ovulation.After ovulation, under the influence of progesterone, the mucus thickens and lessens in quantity.Tags: MCQ, Physiology, Ovulation

The correct answer is BThe basic pattern of breathing is set by the activity of neurons in the reticular formation of the medulla and pons. The medulla sets respiratory rhythm. Function of pons in respiration is less well-understood, but if connections between pons and medulla are cut, breathing becomes abnormal: While still rhythmic, it occurs in gasps. Inspiratory Center (dorsal respiratory group or DRG) is the pace-setting nucleus in the medulla oblongata. Neurons are called medullary inspiratory neurons. Complete suppression of inspiratory neurons by overdose of sleeping pills, morphine, or alcohol can stop respiration completely.Respiratory Center: generates the basic rhythm of respiration.Located in the medulla.Divided into inspiratory center and expiratory center.Injury to this center à Respiration stopped.Tags: MCQ, Physiology, Respiration

The correct answer is AThe role of the venous system of the lower extremities is to make sure blood flows back to the heart, whatever the position of the body, whether resting or moving. It also acts as a reservoir for the blood mass, as well as a regulator for the cardiac output and body temperature.Veins differ from arteries in three ways: their walls are thinner and contain little elastic fiber, and their internal diameter is greater. These structural properties make them able to stretch outward with ease and thereby adapt them to their function as a reservoir for blood.Tags: MCQ, Physiology, Venous system

The correct answer is AMost human genes are discontinuous, with an average of nine exons per gene, although some genes have many more than this. The record is held by the gene for a large muscle protein called titin, which has 178 exons and is also the longest known human gene at 80 780 bp. During gene expression, the initial RNA that is synthesized is a copy of the entire gene, including the introns as well as the exons. The process called splicing removes the introns from this pre-mRNA and joins the exons together to make the mRNA which eventually directs protein synthesis.Tags: MCQ, Physiology, Gene transcription

The correct answer is AVasopressin secretion Osmoreceptors sense blood osmolarity. When blood become concentrated à osmoreceptors stimulate release of vasopressin (primary stimulus) Decreases in blood pressure also stimulate release of vasopressin Volume receptors in the atria sense blood volume as well and low volume will stimulate vasopressinTags: MCQ, Physiology, Vasopressin
