Summary
The International Society for Plastination (ISP) advances plastination as a profession. It disseminates information through its journal, index, and international meetings.
Area of Science:
- Anatomical sciences
- Medical education
- Scientific communication
Background:
- Plastination is a preservation technique for biological specimens.
- There was a need for a professional body to standardize and promote plastination.
Observation:
- The ISP serves as a central agency for information dissemination in plastination.
- The society aims to define plastination as a distinct area of professional activity.
Findings:
- The paper details the purpose and functions of the ISP.
- Key outputs discussed include the Journal of Plastination, the Plastination Index, and international meetings.
- These resources support the growth and recognition of plastination.
Implications:
- The ISP's activities foster the development and standardization of plastination techniques.
- Enhanced accessibility to plastination knowledge through ISP resources aids researchers and educators.
- Strengthening the professional identity of plastination through organized dissemination efforts.

02:00Internal Energy
36.6K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

6.9K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

01:31Internal Receptors
74.3K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

01:29International System of Units
4.8K
The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

01:24External and Internal Respiration
7.2K
External respiration occurs in the lungs, and it is the first step in the journey of oxygen inside the body. When we inhale, oxygen enters our lungs and diffuses across the thin alveolar membrane. The alveoli are tiny, air-filled sacs that provide a vast surface area for gas exchange. Oxygen in the alveoli has a higher partial pressure (105 mmHg) than in the adjacent pulmonary capillaries (40 mmHg), establishing a pressure gradient. As a result, oxygen molecules move from the alveoli into the...

01:20Internal Combustion Engine
2.6K
The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses the byproducts of combustion as the working fluid instead of using a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. The combustion is done in a way that produces high-pressure combustion products that can be expanded through a turbine or piston to create work. Internal combustion engines can again be categorized into three kinds: (1) spark ignition gasoline engines, most commonly used in automobiles, (2) compression ignition diesel engines that...
