EDUBLOGGING A FUN WAY OF
LEARNING
Arvee C. Miranda
It all
started with Endocrinology
Then
followed by Toxicology
At first I
know nothing about blogging
But as we go
along I know I’m learning
Edublogging
thought me a lot of things
New concepts
keep on precipitating
Because of
the excitement it brings
I consider
it a new channel of learning
It thought
me about the endocrine glands
And their
coordination with the nervous glands
Both of the
systems works hand in hand
To bring
together functions of all the body organs
I knew that
pituitary is the master gland
And
hypothalamus is the CNS control gland
Both are
producing essential secretions
And these
are hormones that regulate bodily functions
From the
hypothalamus we have TRH, GnRH, PIF & GHRH
From the anterior
pituitary here comes FSH, LH, TSH & ACTH
Vasopressin
and Oxytocin are from the posterior pituitary
All of them
are responsible for carrying out an activity
Adult
adrenal glands are shaped like pyramids,
Located just
above and medial to the kidneys
The medulla
secretes catecholamines
While on the
cortex what we have is cortisol
T3 and T4
are from the thyroid,
Both of them
participates in food metabolism
Estrogen and
testosterone are steroids
All of which
acts by negative feedback mechanism
The most
common method is RIA
And his
girlfriend’s name is ELISA
His mother
in law is IRMA
His
grandmother is VIRGINIA
Toxicology
is a branch of medicine that deals with poisons
And these
are responsible for detrimental effect production
Harmful
effects may be brought about by phenomenon such as radiation
In practice,
however, many complications exist beyond these plain definitions
Under
toxicology we have TDM
It
identifies the optimum drug concentration
Steady state
is the foundation of determination
While half
life is the basis for administration
Digoxin and
Disopyramide are cardioactive
Marijuana
and methamphetamine are addictive
Alcohol and
nicotine can make a man abusive
WTH! Cocaine
is very expensive
Heroin is
the synthesized form of morphine
Dealers
often add substances such as sugar, starch, & quinine
1-2 days
after use it can be detected in the urine
Treatment
for anxiety from opioid withdrawal is Benzodiazepines
Anabolic
steroids can cause hyperplasia
But
everyone’s favorite is “Gynecomastia”
Physiologic
changes includes muscle dysmorphia
In
laboratory determination, GC is better than EIA
Always
remember CCF during drug testing
As well as
the protocols in sample collecting
Do not
forget proper labeling
For us to
prevent specimen tampering
Always
remember CC man
VBG is the
superwoman
Learning is
retention
Let our
criticisms be our motivation
These are
just some of the facts I learned from Edublogging
And always
remember that there should be no plagiarism
For us to
prevent many criticisms
And now all
I can say is, I love Edublogging.
