Excerpt from a 5-minute MOA that examines carcinoid syndrome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goal for this shot was to depict peristalsis, zoom to a carcinoid tumor in the digestive tract, and be able to clearly see hypersecretion of various hormones at the site of the tumor … in an elegant way.

2022-01-22 01:10:00 It's amazing what a person "turns out" from

This tiny lump of "something" is a three-day-old embryo.

In this picture, it consists of only four cells. While the body of an adult consists of 30 trillion cells!

2022-01-21 22:10:00 Where do cancer cells come from in the body?

The appearance of a tumor in the first approximation is the process of accumulation of mutations, that is, errors, in the genome of cells. As a rule, these are gene mutations associated with either proliferation (cell division) or apoptosis (programmed cell death).

In the process of mutation, some group of cells gets out of control, starting to divide uncontrollably. This is how a tumor is formed, each cell in which is mutated. Soon after the formation of a tumor, cancer cells can break away from the primary focus and metastasize - transferred to other organs (for example, with blood flow), forming tumors throughout the body.

2022-01-21 13:13:00 Pneumonia.
Deep in the lungs, we can see clusters of tiny air sacs -- the alveoli -- becoming inflamed and filling with pus, making it difficult to breathe.

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or even fungi.

2022-01-21 11:10:00 So what is umami?

Umami is the fifth taste, allocated to an independent one. It is popular in the countries of the Far East. The feeling of "umami" is created by monosodium glutamate, used as a seasoning, and some amino acids. Due to the fact that the human tongue has L-glutamate receptors, scientists consider umami to be a separate taste, not a combination. This taste can be obtained as a result of heat treatment or fermentation.

What does umami taste like?

Glutamate has a special piquant taste, and also enhances and rounds up other flavors, literally making the food tastier overall. Umami is a savory taste that remains after you eat something like tomato sauce, long-cooked stew, barbecue ribs or even ketchup.

Here's a little experiment to really understand the taste of umami: take one dried tomato and chew it 20 times before swallowing. You will notice a sweet taste and some acidity, there will also be a spicy aroma that covers the tongue and lasts for a long time - this is umami. Open / Comment

An interesting process of how transport proteins fight for a particle

As a result, one transport protein turns out to be "stronger" than the other and carries the molecule in the right direction.

2022-01-21 07:30:00 The brain has the largest blood supply system.

It is carried out by two internal carotid and two vertebral arteries.
How much they then branch out, you can see in the animation

Thanks to such a developed system, the brain receives about 750 milliliters of blood every minute — this is about 15% of the total volume of blood flow.

This concern of the body is due to the fact that brain cells are most sensitive to lack of nutrition.

2022-01-21 03:50:00 Salt increases the pressure.

Sodium chloride (the same table salt) increases blood pressure. Sometimes sharply, so salt is categorically contraindicated for people suffering from hypertension.

Attention! If you suffer from hypotension - you can not constantly increase the pressure salty. Excess sodium can lead to heart failure, especially if we are talking about an elderly person.
