Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) is common among women who are in 30s and 40s. This leads to extreme disturbance in day to day life and may also cause reduction in RBC and hemoglobin content leading to anemia which further causes severe weakness. It is a condition where they experience heavy menses although they have normal [...]

To regulate the food intake human beings have 2 centers called feeding centre and satietary center. Feeding center stimulation leads to increased food intake and uncontrollable hunger where as satietary center stimulation causes cessation of food intake by inhibiting feeding center activity. There are some receptors called glucostats

Diabetes in pregnancy is classified into two types- Overt Diabetes which is seen in women who are diabetic even before the onset of pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes in which diabetes is detected in the course of pregnancy. The insulin requirements during pregnancy increases a lot because of very large increase in insulin antagonizing [...]

As the blastocyst develops further it gives rise not only to the tissues and organs of the embryo but also to a number of structure that support the embryo and helps to aquire nutrition at very early stage in development. The embryo proper aquires the form of a three layered disc. This is called the [...]

Blastocyst is a spherical cyst lined by flattened trophoblastic cells and inside it there is a mass of cells, the INNER CELL MASS, attached eccentrically to the trophoblast. Further changes are as follows:- a) Some cells of the inner cell mass diffrentiate into flattened cells that to line its free surface. These constitute the ENDODERM- [...]

1) The trophoblast is at first made up of a single layer of cells. As these cells multiply two distinct layers are formed. The cells that are nearest to the decidua loose their cell boundaries. Thus one continous sheet of cytoplasm containing many nuclei is formed. Such a tissue is called “SYNCYTIUM”. Hence this layer [...]
