Chronic renal failure is a worldwide public health problem. Millions of Americans are affected by this disease each year. It is a common condition in which there is progressive loss of kidney functioning. The loss of function usually takes months or years to occur‚ sometime not appearing until kidney function is less than one-tenth of normal. The kidneys have the important job of filtering‚ wastes and excess fluids from your blood‚ which are then excreted in the urine (Huether‚ 2012). When the kidneys

Classification of Tissues Introduction Cells are the smallest units of life. In complex organisms‚ cells group together with one another based on similar structure and function to form tissues .Tissues provide the numerous functions of organs necessary to maintain biological life. This lab exercise seeks to introduce the various tissues found in the human body and to familiarize you with their composition and function. The study of tissues is called histology ‚ and is important to the understanding

Tissue engineering By Nathan. F Introduction Tissue Engineering is the use of a combination of cells‚ engineering and materials methods‚ and suitable biochemical and physio-chemical factors to improve or replace biochemical functions. The objective of tissue engineering is to create living body parts that will fully integrate with the recipient’s body. Tissue engineering mostly associated with applications that repair or replace portions of or whole tissues. For example bone‚ cartilage
