Tonicity in Animals00:59

Tonicity in Animals

124.1K
The tonicity of a solution determines if a cell gains or loses water in that solution. The tonicity depends on the permeability of the cell membrane for different solutes and the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes in the solution within and outside of the cell. If a semipermeable membrane hinders the passage of some solutes but allows water to follow its concentration gradient, water moves from the side with low osmolarity (i.e., less solute) to the side with higher osmolarity (i.e.,...

Tonicity in Animals

Tonicity describes the amount of solute in a solution. The measure of the tonicity of a solution, or the total amount of solutes dissolved in a specific amount of solution, is called its osmolarity. Three terms—hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic—are used to relate the osmolarity of a cell to the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid that contains the cells. In a hypotonic solution, such as tap water, the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solutes than the fluid inside...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics02:59

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

9.2K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Animal and Plant Cell Structure01:30

Animal and Plant Cell Structure

48.3K
Animal and plant cells not only differ in their structure, function, and mode of nutrition but also in how they reproduce, specialize, and organize into complex structures.
Cell Division
Though both plant and animal cells divide by mitosis (for non-gametic cells) and meiosis (for gametic cells), they differ in the specifics of this process. Unlike animal cells, plant cells lack centrosomes — an organelle responsible for organizing the spindle fibers and segregating the chromosomes during...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.9K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Reproductive Cloning01:27

Reproductive Cloning

32.7K
Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Pharmacology
  • Ethnobotany

Background:

  • Phytotherapy is gaining popularity in veterinary practice.
  • Accurate knowledge of medicinal plants is essential for safe and effective use.
  • Toxicity and improper dosage are significant risks associated with medicinal plants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an online decision support system (www.phytoarznei.ch) for veterinary phytotherapy.
  • To consolidate and provide accessible information on medicinal plants for domestic animals.
  • To ensure safe and effective application of herbal remedies in veterinary medicine.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of a structured database from critically evaluated scientific literature.
  • Development of a user-friendly online platform with search functionalities.
  • Integration with external databases for poisonous plants and veterinary medicinal products.

Main Results:

  • The database includes detailed information on therapeutic indications, dosages, toxicity, and legal aspects of medicinal plants.
  • Two search options are available: by plant/drug name or by animal species/therapeutic application.
  • Linked databases enhance the comprehensiveness and utility of the information.

Conclusions:

  • Phytoarznei.ch serves as a valuable resource for veterinarians seeking information on phytotherapy.
  • The system promotes the safe and informed use of medicinal plants in animal healthcare.
