[What is green tea extract]

Green tea is the second largest beverage demanded by consumers worldwide. Used in China and India for its medicinal effects. There are several compounds extracted from green tea including catechins which contain an enormous amount of hydroxyphenols that are easily oxidized, congregated and contracted, which explains its good anti-oxidation effect. Its anti-oxidation effect is 25-100 times as strong as those of vitamin C and E.

It is widely used in medicines, agriculture, and chemical and food industries. This extract prevents cardio-vascular disease, lowers the risk of cancer, and decreases blood sugar and blood pressure, as well as viruses. In the food industry, the anti-oxidation agent used for preserving food and cooking oils.

[Function]

1. Green tea extract can reduce blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids.

2. Green tea extract has the function of removing radicals and anti-aging.

3. Green tea extract can enhance the immune function and prevention of colds.

4. Green tea extract will anti-radiation,anti-cancer, inhibiting the increasing of cancer cell.

5. Green tea extract used to anti-bacterium, with the function of sterilization and deodorization.

[Application]

1.Applied in cosmetics field, Green tea extract owns the effect of anti-wrinkle and anti-Aging.

2.Applied in food field, Green tea extract is used as natural antioxidant, antistaling agent, and anti-fading agents.

3.Applied in pharmaceutical field, Green tea extract is used to prevent and cure cardiovascular disease, diabetes.

How to approach histology for Human Anatomy students. Using a key will help get you through it! Add some penguin fairy dust will help too!

There are lots of histology keys out there, but the one I showed in the video is here: https://www.penguinprof.com/uploads/8/4/3/1/8431323/histology_key.jpg

Details:

Tissue in the human body:

Epithelial: Is made of cells arranged in a continuous sheet with one or more layers, has apical & basal surfaces.

A basement membrane is the attachment between the basal surface of the cell & the underlying connective tissue.

Two types of epithelial tissues: (1) Covering & lining epithelia and (2) Glandular Epithelium.

The number of cell layers & the shape of the cells in the top layer can classify epithelium.

Simple Epithelium – one cell layer
Stratified epithelium – two or more cell layers
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium – When cells of an epithelial tissue are all anchored to the basement Membrane but not all cells reach the apical surface.
Glandular Epithelium — (1) Endocrine: Release hormones directly into the blood stream and (2) Exocrine – Secrete into ducts.

Connective: contains many different cell types including: fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and adipocytes. Connective Tissue Matrix is made of two materials: ground substance – proteins and polysaccharides, fiber — reticular, collagen and elastic.

Classification of Connective Tissue:
Loose Connective – fibers & many cell types in gelatinous matrix, found in skin, & surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and organs.
Dense Connective – Bundles of parallel collagen fibers& fibroblasts, found in tendons& ligaments.
Cartilage – Cartilage is made of collagen & elastin fibers embedded in a matrix glycoprotein & cells called chondrocytes, which was found in small spaces.
Cartilage has three subtypes:
Hyaline cartilage — Weakest, most abundant type, Found at end of long bones, & structures like the ear and nose,
Elastic cartilage- maintains shape, branching elastic fibers distinguish it from hyaline and
Fibrous Cartilage – Strongest type, has dense collagen & little matrix, found in pelvis, skull & vertebral discs.

Muscle: is divided into 3 categories, skeletal, cardiac and smooth.
Skeletal Muscle — voluntary, striated, striations perpendicular to the muscle fibers and it is mainly found attached to bones.
Cardiac Muscle — involuntary, striated, branched and has intercalated discs
Smooth Muscle — involuntary, nonstriated, spindle shaped and is found in blood vessels & the GI tract.

Nervous: Consists of only two cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) & peripheral nervous system (PNS):
Neurons – Cells that convert stimuli into electrical impulses to the brain, and Neuroglia — supportive cells.
Neurons — are made up of cell body, axon and dendrites. There are 3 types of neurons:
Motor Neuron — carry impulses from CNS to muscles and glands,
Interneuron – interpret input from sensory neurons and end responses to motor neurons
Sensory Neuron — receive information from environment and transmit to CNS.
Neuroglia — is made up of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells and microglia in the CNS, and schwann cells and satellite cells in the PNS.
