CARD-1: Cellular Physiology & Blood

Welcome to the Cellular Physiology and Blood playlist by The Study Scalpel, specially designed to support MBBS students in mastering foundational concepts in physiology. This 10-part series covers essential topics, from cell structure to the physiology of blood, to help you build a strong understanding of these core areas. In this playlist, we explore:

1 .Introduction to Physiology: Defining physiology, its goals, and the importance of homeostasis.

2 .Cell Structure and Function: Overview of the cell, including the protoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus, and organelles.

3 .Cell Membrane Transport: Passive and active transport, exocytosis, endocytosis, and communication between cells.

4 .Membrane Potential and Nerve Impulses: Basics of membrane potential, resting and action potentials, and signal propagation.

5 .Neuromuscular Junction and Muscle Contraction: How nerve signals lead to muscle contraction.

6 .Blood Composition and Plasma Proteins: A look at blood components, focusing on the roles of plasma proteins.

7 .Red Blood Cells and Hemoglobin: RBC count, functions, morphology, erythropoiesis, and blood disorders like anemia and polycythemia.

8 .White Blood Cells: WBC types, development, functions, leucocytosis, and leucopenia.

9 .Platelets and Hemostasis: Role of platelets in clotting, coagulation factors, and common bleeding disorders.

10 .Blood Grouping and Transfusion: ABO and Rh systems, transfusion safety, and Rh incompatibility.

Each lecture in this playlist is designed to clarify key concepts and make studying physiology approachable. Join us as we explore these critical topics step-by-step, helping you build a solid foundation for future studies in medical physiology.
