Rehnoy: Check this out.
(1) The thyroid gland cosists of ........., ........ And .......
(2) The most important of the above is the ...........
(3) List the effects of the under and over secretion of the thyroid gland.
WATCHING FROM SIDELINE.

Thyroid gland get parts? Na wa o....I didn't know that...kai

Undersecretion of thyroid gland...in children cretinism...in adults it causes reduced metabolic rate, makes them lethargic and causes a condition known as myxodema (I hope that's the spelling oh)

Oversecretion of thyroid leads to...hyperplastic goitre and exophthalmic goitre depending on what's going on...
Hyperplactic goitre is caused by prolonged stimulation of the thyroid by TSH
While exophthalmic goitre is caused by oversecretion of thyroxine

Na wetin I cram for exam oh....

[quote author=I_am_Sylva]u guys shld check out these simple questions



(1) Which component of
plasma decreases the
water potential of
blood by the greatest
amount?

(2) A parasite which lives in tissue fluid can block lymph capillaries,
cuasing swelling of the
tissues, particularly in
the leg. Explain why
blockage of the lymph
capillaries leads to
swelling in the tissues.

(3) Explain how the lymph system is
involved in the absorption of the
products of digestion.
[/quote]Hahahaha! Na wa u oh!....
1. In the case of plasma sha , decrease in solute potential, causes decrease in water potential (I don't even know what that means but I saw it somewhere once...).
2. If the lymphatic system is blocked by a parasite, the movement of lymph (fluid) becomes restricted and since the lymph cannot move freely anymore it accumulates, causing swelling.
3. Hmm lymphatic system helps to transport digested fat from the intestines to the cells that need it...but to explain it na long tin oh we'll start talking abt osmosis ,diffusion, intercellular fluid...kai!!!!
Guy! Why ur questions dey always be like german? Relax na ask simple biology....

Akposy: Chyle or Chyme?

Oga...u give the correct wan na...

[quote author=Vic-jay]What is the name of the enzyme in the acrosome of the sperm? My ques hencefort would be based on reproductive organs. I lyk dat syd alot.[/quote]Hahahaha....I only know of acrosin...

[quote author=Doc_Miss][color=crimson]Google "Crenation"[/color][/quote]Hahahaha..crenation?
That's like shriveling up when in a hypertonic solution no?
Check out this germ "vibrio vulnificus"(halophytic microorganism) summary: that beach water is salt water doesn't in anyway mean that the water is sterile (free from germs) so the crenation theory may not apply all the time...biology is scary

harryhenry02: Apparently I'm not a soothsayer but its obvious that when the admission list will be released , some will falsely claim to be admitted the same way some posted fake scores earlier. So never be weighed down by what you shall see here.

Hahahahaha....na wa o. I wonder who and who are being refered to
I'll send u an email 2mao...my phone is acting drama for me right now...I'll holla once my phone is up again...

GreatAustin: will 22nd still be possible...

Yes oh! I can confidently confess that I haven't the slightest clue how u can use biomass to generate electricity

I know that u can get gas from some insects (termites produce methane).....but how that can be translated into electricity? Nah...no clue

Rehnoy: been watching from sideline. Thank God say you be my size. So which uni are you aspiring for?

I'm trying to read medicine oh..me never enter. So all this u're seeing is me having fun till I get admitted #faith at work#

[quote author=I_am_Sylva]Electron transport
chains are the cellular
mechanisms used for
extracting energy from
sunlight in
photosynthesis and also
from redox reactions,
such as the oxidation of
sugars ( respiration).

In chloroplasts, light
drives the conversion of
water to oxygen and
NADP+ to NADPH with
transfer of H+ ions
across chloroplast
membranes.

In
mitochondria, it is the
conversion of oxygen to
water, NADH to NAD+ and
succinate to fumarate
that are required to
generate the proton
gradient.

Electron
transport chains are
major sites of premature
electron leakage to
oxygen, generating
superoxide and
potentially resulting in
increased oxidative
stress [/quote]Jisoxxx!!!!!!
If I say I can memorize what u just said now I swear na lie! Una sabi book sha shooo!! I'll just take ur answer and leave the rest *omo see science oh*

[quote author=Doc_Miss][color=crimson]Wrong. The reason isn't far fetched, beach water is salty so the water is hypertonic to the RBCs on the Injury, therefore, the RBCs Shrink or become Crenated and Crenation Kills Bacteria.[/color][/quote]Okay...when u say wrong I need to be sure which part is wrong so I can learn...
And mehn...beach water has bacteria oh... there are bacteria that are halophytes (I'm trying to say some bacteria survive in salt water so pls forgive my spelling)
So in the end if our mystery injured dude is unfortunate, he'll just complicate things...
U mentioned RBC's....u're saying the water will mix with red blood cells and....kill the bacteria? I don't quite get that....or has the wound already sealed? (Clotted) I'm not sure that the water being salty will help this dude oh....
I'm sorry at first I tot the water was from a swimming pool...

dr dams: They r talking abt Beach, u dey talk swimming pool. Well, Beach water isnt chlorinated.

Kai! I don talk rubbish oh....(I don't know where I saw swimming pool) Beach water....hmmm....omo if na open wound na serious infection be that oh....

HumbleServant: My broda, whether u lyk it or not, prayer works (even though it is not fulfiled @ dat moment, God knows why). Don't be surprised some of those ur friends u prayed with n were not admitted, some already making it abroad, living big with their wives & children.

Case closed!!
No more religious talk or I seize ur salary! No try me oh!!

rationalmind: The problem with this reply of yours and many others is that, you deliberately chose to ignore the several people who got admission because they scored high and focus on the few who didn't get cos of ill luck despite passing well........

Hmmmm
This isn't a religious thread. We aren't here to disprove or prove the existence of God.
If u have any encouraging words to give then be our guest please and say something comforting. If u have no comforting words to spare its also alright...but pls don't try to steal away anyones hope/faith.
I understand religion looks foolish and unrealistic atimes...but not all of us can cope without it. So kindly allow us to comfort each other abeg.
PS: don't leave oh...I just don't want any religious argument to start here cos I can smell it in the air.....(cyber air)

[quote author=Doc_Miss][color=crimson]A boy has an Injury on his knee, he then went to the beach to swim.
What happens to his Injury?[/color][/quote]I guess it depends on the injury...swimming can be therapeutic when it comes to knee pain...as in swimming can help with knee pains.

Leebliss13: am n0t sure 0f the answer but let me try
.
. The injury bec0mes infected

Hmmm swimming pools have chlorine in them some even have silver compounds that attack viruses for real oh....I feel infection isn't likely....but then again na naija we dey

Happy sunday y'all....

HumbleServant: Dats' true my sister, going by last yr De, d exam was written on 25th of August, d result was released on 30th of August & d admission status was released on independent day (Oct.1st).
As some have rightly forecasted, it will not exceed on 4th of Nov, and dat day is my birthday. My prayer to God is for Uniben to give me 'admitted status' as my birthday gift.

AMEN!!! 4th of november bah? Toh...let's just be watching...so na one whole month to arrange admission? Oh boy eh!! God dey sha...happy sunday bro...

These questions too tough oh.....
Old age in man? Jisoxx
Hmmm old age is when u start to see a decline (or deterioration) in the biological functions ( difficulty urinating etc) and physical structure (weakened bones) of a man in relation to his age a decline in mental acuity usually follows(memory loss etc). Strangely this is brought abt by the corrosive nature of O2 to our cells (thank God for nitrogen in air oh)
Something abt radicles etc abeg una questions hard joo *packing load* shooo

[quote author=I_am_Sylva]The answer to this question is;

THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN[/quote]Hahahahaha! Kai!!!! I would neva have gotten this. Could u pls elaborate further?

[quote author=I_am_Sylva]bros abeg tell us d ansa oo.. Even me think say na MEMORY[/quote]U sure say that question correct...the part of the brain concerned with reasoning etc is the cerebrum.....
How am I supposed to know which part of the cerebrum stores info?
*referee!!! Wayo!! Foul!!! Red card!!!*

Mtcheew...temporal lobe? Cortex? Abegi joo oya come answer I don vex! Arghhh!
