Aim: Recording Force of Air Expelled Using a Peak Flow Meter Introduction: A Peak Flow Meter (PFM) is a simple, portable, handheld device used to measure how fast a person can blow air out of their lungs. This measurement is known as the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and reflects the function of the lungs … Read more
Antiarrhythmic drugs are medications designed to prevent, control, or manage abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are disturbances in the normal electrical activity of the heart, which can cause the heart to beat too quickly (tachycardia), too slowly (bradycardia), or irregularly.

The regulation of blood glucose levels is a complex and tightly controlled process involving several hormones. The two primary hormones responsible for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis are insulin and glucagon, both produced by the pancreas. 1. Insulin Source: Produced by beta cells in the pancreas. Function: Stimulates glucose uptake by cells, particularly in the liver, … Read more
Glycogen Metabolism Pathways Glycogen metabolism involves the synthesis (glycogenesis) and breakdown (glycogenolysis) of glycogen, a highly branched polymer of glucose units. It is a dynamic process that helps regulate blood glucose levels and provides a rapid energy source when needed. 1. Glycogenesis: Enzyme: Glycogen synthase is the key enzyme in glycogenesis. Process: Glucose molecules are … Read more
