                                      Menstruation cycle Every month, females undergo a natural reproductive cycle. During this cycle, the body prepares itself for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the body sheds the prepared uterine lining and resets the cycle for the next month. This process begins at puberty, a stage known as menarche , and continues until a woman reaches the age of approximately 40 to 50 years , when the cycle gradually comes to an end — a phase known as menopause .           Duration - Generally, the duration of this cycle is ideally 28 days, but in some cases, its duration extends from 28 to 32 .                                           Phases -  This cycle is completed in four phases -     ...

                                     Spermatogenesis                                                                                     Spermatogenesis is the biological process through which sperm cells are formed from the germinal epithelium lining the seminiferous tubules of the testes. This epithelium consists of two main cell types: Cuboidal primordial germ cells , which undergo division and differentiation to eventually become mature spermatozoa. Tall somatic cells known as Sertoli cells (also called nurse cells ), which support, nourish, and anchor the developing germ cells throughout the stages of spermatogenesis. These Sertoli cells play a crucial role by ...

                           Hatch and Slack Pathway / C4 Cycle                                                    In 1967  Hatch and Slack proposed a pathway for dark reaction occur in sugarcane and maize plants. The first stable product is OAA, which is  4C, dicarboxylic acid. That is why the hatch and the slack pathway is also known as the C4 cycle. the detailed process is explained below -                                         Process - The primary acceptor of carbon dioxide in C4 cycle plants is phosphoenol pyruvic acid (PEP). It accepts carbon dioxide and forms oxaloacetic acid (OAA). OAA is the first stable product which is having four-carbon dicarboxylic acid...

                                   Conducting System of the Heart      The right and left bundle branches of the AV node, the SA node, the Purkinje fibre, and the AV bundle make up the heart's conductive system. The sinoatrial node (SA) located in the wall of the right atrium near the superior vena cava.  The specialized muscle fiber that makes up this structure is unique that they can continually and mathematically send impulses ( send signals to contract )without any stimulation from the nervous system. This means the SA node is said to be self-exciting and that's the reason why the " SA node is known as the natural pacemaker of the heart."  Now, before directly enters into the  AV node, the electrical impulse from the SA node is spread on to the right and left atria and gets depolarized. Due to this both the atria (right &left) contract simultaneously...

                                    Bacterial Growth Curve  In any biological system growth can be defined as the orderly increase of all chemical component . Increase of mass weight not really reflect growth curve because of the cells could be simply increasing their content of storage product such as glycogen .   The idea of the bacterial growth curve was developed through careful observations and experiments done by early scientists in the late 1800s. They studied how bacteria grow and divided their growth process into different stages . Bacterial growth in batch culture can be modeled with four different phases -                                      Lag Phase        Exponential Growth Phase       Stationary Phase      ...

                                                                                           Oogenesis The process of formation of the female egg is known as oogenesis. The process takes place in ovaries. Generally,  in most higher organisms,  this process starts when the female fetal is developing in the womb. The whole process can be studied in three phases -      Multiplication Phase  Growth Phase  Maturation Phase             Read also - oocyte structure in human being  Multiplication phase -   In the fetal embryo, the ovum mother cell or we can say oogonia start to multiply through mitosis and a  large number of diploid oogonia i.e., mil...
