T-lymphocytes are cells of the adaptive immune system that reside in the blood and when pathogens attack certain tissues, they can migrate there in order to trigger an immune reaction and eliminate the pathogens. With autoimmune diseases
The patellar tendon extends from the kneecap to the upper anterior tibia. In its function, it is essential for the mobility of the knee joint, especially for stretching the leg. The patellar tendon is also known for the
The lymphocytes belong to the white blood cells and form the body's own immune system. A distinction is made between B lymphocytes, which form antibodies against foreign substances, and T lymphocytes, which either strengthen the action of the immune cells or themselves
The pancreas produces a variety of enzymes for digesting carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
The abdominal cavity, also called the abdominal cavity, begins below the diaphragm and extends to the level of the iliac crest. In this area there are several organs of the digestive tract and immune system such as the liver and the gastrointestinal tract
The spleen is located in the upper left abdomen. Their main function is to sort out erythrocytes (red blood cells) that are too old by migrating them through a close-knit network through which only new, flexible cells come. But it is also part of the
The pancreas is divided into two functional parts. One is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels with its hormones insulin and glucagon. The second produces the digestive juice, which contains many enzymes and in
Respiratory acidosis is a change in the pH value in the blood towards the acidic range. The normal pH of the blood fluctuates between 7.38-7.45. If there is respiratory acidosis, the pH value drops.
The inflammation of the spleen can be caused by various causes. The most common cause is a systemic infectious disease.
The Douglas space is the deepest part of the female abdominal cavity. It is bounded at the front by the uterus and at the back by the rectum and is completely lined with peritoneum. Due to its deep location, free fluids collect here
Diaphragmatic breathing, also called abdominal breathing, is the second way of breathing alongside chest breathing. Both forms usually run parallel to each other, with diaphragmatic breathing predominating at rest. There are also ways to train you, something for some
Abdominal breathing is a certain breathing technique that is also carried out unconsciously in healthy people at rest, as it uses the least amount of energy. In doing so, the diaphragm rises and falls, causing pressure gradients along the way
Connective tissue has many different functions and tasks in the human body. The structure of the connective tissue comprises a multitude of components and changes can lead to functional losses or illnesses.
The pancreas can be divided into two parts, both microscopically and functionally. The exogenous part is used for the production of digestive enzymes. The endogenous part produces, among other things, hormones that regulate blood sugar levels
The respiratory chain is an enzyme complex in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It is used for so-called "internal respiration", the end metabolism, whereby energy in the form of ATP is obtained in the presence of oxygen. She joins the
Targeted breathing exercises to relax can be used in any situation, be it in the private sphere or at work. They have to be trained beforehand in order to be able to use them in stressful situations.
The lungs are supplied by two functionally different vessels: the vasa privata on the one hand, which ensure the blood supply to the lungs themselves, and the vasa publica, on the other hand, which enrich the blood with oxygen through the lungs and
Cellular respiration describes the breakdown of nutrients such as glucose or fatty acids while consuming oxygen (O2) for energy production. This is essential for the cells to survive. The end products that result from this process are carbon dioxide
The heart is a vital organ that powers blood flow by pumping all oxygen-rich blood around the body to supply all organs and tissues. It also transports oxygen-poor blood into the pulmonary circulation
The colon makes up most of the large intestine. It lies between the appendix and rectum / rectum and is responsible for drawing water out so that the stool can thicken. Chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease or colitis
