The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin,
Pancreas and Type 1 and it plays a major role in regulating blood
diabetes glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the
pancreas does not make enough or any insulin.
Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices
that mimic the way the human pancreas works
How does insulin work by delivering small doses of short acting insulin
in diabetes? continuously (basal rate). The device also is used
to deliver variable amounts of insulin when a
meal is eaten (bolus)
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses
powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in
your body. Chemotherapy is most often used to
treat cancer, since cancer cells grow and
multiply much more quickly than most cells in
the body. It targets cells that grow and divide
chemotherapy
quickly, as cancer cells do. Unlike radiation or
surgery, which target specific areas, chemo can
work throughout your body. But it can also
affect some fast-growing healthy cells, like
those of the skin, hair, intestines, and bone
marrow.
, Stem cell transplant replaces the leukemia cells
in your bone marrow with new ones that make
blood. Your doctor can get the new stem cells
from your own body or from a donor. Stem cell

Stem cell therapy offers people suffering from
leukemia or bone-marrow cancer the chance of
full recovery.
Why is laser Lasers are more precise than standard surgical
technology more tools (scalpels), so they do less damage to
effective than normal tissues. As a result, patients usually have
conventional surgery in less pain, bleeding, swelling, and scarring. With
removing cancerous laser therapy, operations are usually shorter.

· The urinary system, also known as the renal
system or urinary tract, consists of the kidneys,
ureters, bladder, and the urethra. The purpose
Urinary system of the urinary system is to eliminate waste from
the body, regulate blood volume and blood
pressure, control levels of electrolytes and
metabolites, and regulate blood pH
Nanotechnology can provide rapid and

Nanotechnology enabling scientists to detect molecular changes
even when they occur only in a small
percentage of cells.
, The most common cause of mercury poisoning
is from consuming too much methyl mercury or
organic mercury, which is linked to eating
seafood. Small amounts of mercury are present
in everyday foods and products, which may not
affect your health. Too much mercury, however,
Mercury poisoning
can be poisonous. Mercury salts affect primarily
the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys, and
can cause severe kidney damage; however, as
they cannot cross the blood-brain barrier easily,
these salts inflict little neurological damage
without continuous or heavy exposure.
UV rays may lead to macular degeneration, a

Passive transport is a movement of ions and
other atomic or molecular substances across
cell membranes without need of energy input.
passive transport Unlike active transport, it does not require an
input of cellular energy because it is instead
driven by the tendency of the system to grow in
