Question of the Week

[جوري]

Identify the organ from which this biopsy was taken but not the disease... 19 rep point for correct answer! if you can spot what is wrong with it, then you get two bonus points!

:w:

[saira-k]

emm lungs? lol

[جوري]

what makes you say that sis? I need some beef in my sandwitch =)

[saira-k]

here is another clue-- this one is healthy and not diseased

I will let you know if you are correct insh'Allah once I get more answers....

:w:

[lyesh]

brain? :-[

[saira-k]

was i right b4? is the next one a brain?

[saira-k]

o right i jus saw ur response lol k

[جوري]

you both have to head south! :smile:

[lyesh]

loool... heart? :p

[جوري]

lol come on now--I'll give another clue.. heading to and fro that convoluted mass is an efferent and and afferent arteriole... can't get easier than this =)

:w:

[saira-k]

heart??

[smile]

liver?

[جوري]

come on you guys have to do some research, I gave you really good clues.. practically a give away.. this is what the heart looks like under the microscope

it is made of smooth muscle fibers

this is different cross sections stained with Hemotoxin & Eosin -- things are usually stained with different dyes for lots of reasons which are unimportant now--- since I want to take this from a basic anatomy point of view ( admittedly more difficult) since it is microscopic... but I think all of you guys have used a microscope no?

[muzna]

glomerulus in the bowman's capsule of a nephron of the kidney?

[جوري]

You are da bomb... reps for you =)
:w:

[vpb]

come onn , not biology :p

[muzna]

thanks..i couldnt really tell from the slide..but the clue of afferent and efferent arterioles gave it away..plus the second pic of the capillary network..
what's wrong with it though? looks like inconsistent congregations in the capillaries?

[جوري]

it ain't bio.. it is pathology =) --well no one took a stab at the disease and I am not expecting anyone too.... =)

well the one you looked at is healthy, the very first slide is of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis... I really wasn't expecting anyone to come up with that unless an actual pathologist, most people even medical students whose knowledge of path is still fresh, can't recognize a slide without a case history.... but whoaa if someone had gotten that?... sobhan Allah, it would have been very humbling ...
:w:

[muzna]

well..i wouldnt have guessed it was glomerulonephritis..i'm supposed to be doing patho this year, but i'm on french leave at home in Sri Lanka..:D

[جوري]

when you do it insha'allah.. I hope you get a great preceptor... and learn all you can.. patho is combining art with science... just a really amazing subject :)
:w:

[vpb]

well I don't want to be pathetic lol.

just post an easier one. like,
"How many lungs does a person have". sort of this.

[BanGuLLy]

I HATE BIOLOGY/CHEMISTRY :raging:

[Abdul-Raouf]

Toooooo difficult.... to find

[muzna]

chem is the easiest thing in the world once you grasp the initial concepts..
bio..boring...
histopath..not very excited about

[جوري]

^^^it can be very exciting if you have someone really willing to teach you.. unfortunately there aren't many people like that... teaching in and of itself is a very noble profession -- Anyhow, if I posted an easy Q of the week, what would be the fun in that? come on admit it... you want to be challenged!...
:w:

i mean look at the answer:

glomerulus in the bowman's capsule of a nephron of the kidney?

[muzna]

that's actually 10th grade bio knowledge..not very advanced

[vpb]

that's actually 10th grade bio knowledge..not very advanced

yeah, after 4-5 years of learning biology , u forget things, and especially when u learn it in different language.

and btw, do u study medicine or u'r still in high school?

[جوري]

^^ agreed.. the actual answer to the Q is — Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN; also called mesangiocapillary or lobular glomerulonephritis)
of which there are three types... that is a long shot from simply identifying the slide, considering the clues given... but admittedly not everyone is into slides... I just wanted to give you guys a varied variety from the usual...
we'll come up with something different next time insha'Allah
:w:

how about if we make, question of the week in different fields,

just 5th grade questions, cuz the 10th grade ones are very hard :p ;D;D

[جوري]

sure akhi whatever you like... I don't have dibs on the Q of the week... anyone can/should come up with one... I need to take a hiatus from the forum and it would be nice if members would continue with health and science questions....
:w:

i study medicine, but i remember drawing diagrams of the nephron with the glomerulus, bowman's capsule, afferent and efferent arterioles and the convoluted tubules and loop of henle in my OL bio exam..

[muzna]

thanks for the reps everyone..(blush)
may Allah reward you

[vpb]

i study medicine, but i remember drawing diagrams of the nephron with the glomerulus, bowman's capsule, afferent and efferent arterioles and the convoluted tubules and loop of henle in my OL bio exam..

lol, I study in computers field, and I remember everything from 9th grade about computer hardware parts ...lolll ;D;D;D

[muzna]

yeah..thats understandable



computing...I CANT STAND THAT SUBJECT..i couldnt wait to drop it in grade 9..

[vpb]

computing...I CANT STAND THAT SUBJECT..i couldnt wait to drop it in grade 9..

but I hope if I ask u a 10th grade question about computers, you would remember it. :)

so same with me, I can;t stand biology, apart from brain. so there is no will for me to have remembered anything from 9th/10th grade. :)

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
hey sis PA, you got anymore of them. they're cool.
:sl:

[جوري]

I am not sure people enjoyed them all that much? every Q of the week I posted, someone wanted it, in a different field :lol:

:w:
