Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles01:13

Microscopic Anatomy of Skeletal Muscles

22.4K
Skeletal muscle cells, also called muscle fibers, are distinctly elongated, multi-nucleated, slender biological units. They are packed with specialized structures designed to facilitate their primary function, which is contraction.
The muscle sarcolemma is a plasma membrane enclosing each muscle cell that conducts electrical signals called action potentials. The sarcolemma extends into the cell to form T-tubules, ensuring the neural impulses are uniformly distributed across the entire muscle...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.8K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Naturalistic Observations

17.0K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Technique
  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Microscopic thyroidectomy is an underutilized surgical approach.
  • Routine use of microscopes in thyroid surgery may decrease complications like nerve palsy and hypocalcemia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of exclusive microscopic thyroidectomy.
  • To determine optimal magnification and working distances for critical structures during microscopic thyroid surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Nine thyroidectomy cases were performed using only a microscope.
  • Postoperative outcomes, including nerve palsy and hypocalcemia, were recorded.
  • Analysis of optimal magnification (e.g., 2x for identification, 4x for dissection of recurrent laryngeal nerve) and working distances was conducted.

Main Results:

  • No patients experienced nerve palsy post-surgery.
  • One patient had transient hypocalcemia.
  • The microscope facilitated easy identification and preservation of critical structures.

Conclusions:

  • Microscopic thyroidectomy is an easily adoptable technique that enhances visualization and preservation of critical structures compared to conventional methods.
  • Standardized working distances and magnification are crucial for optimal outcomes.
  • The technique serves as an excellent teaching tool due to improved illumination and magnification.
