Tidal Volume-Explained There are several lung volume types, some static and some dynamic. Tidal volume is one of the essential volumes.  Tidal volume and lung capacity are two critical aspects of overall health. Understanding tidal volume is crucial for optimizing respiratory health and increasing full fitness potential. It is essential in determining how much oxygen enters the body and how much carbon dioxide exits. Tidal volume is the amount of air that is inspired or expired during normal breathing.

   The Complement System: A Decisive System in Body Defence. This article will discuss the complement system's role in the body's defense mechanisms, including its site of origin and mechanism of action. Keywords: cellular immunity| humoral| Mannose-binding lectin (MBL)| Histamine|Body defense system|WBC| Classical Pathway| Lectin Pathway| Properdin or Alternative   P athway Introduction The complement system is crucial in the body's defense against invading pathogens and tumor cells. The complement system is a system of plasma enzymes. The liver synthesizes enzymes of the complement system. It comprises over 30 enzymes circulating in the blood and is responsible for cell killing by humoral and cellular immunity. These enzymes are inactive and become active when stimulated by an antigen-antibody complex or other pathways. When in active form, they work in a sequence of cascade reactions to remove pathogens, kill pathogens, initiate and promote inflammation, an...

A subject’s fundamental values are compared with arbitrarily set typical values. Blood indices have been discarded in favor of absolute corpuscular values.  Table of contents: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV): Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) Colour Index (CI) MCD: MCAT: Red cell distribution width (RDW) About’ totalphysiology.com.’ This article is part of my mission to provide trustworthy recent health information to support the general public, patients, and professionals globally.
