Zoology
hey guys.. i know biology is an easy subject to those who can retain huge amounts of info in their brain..but there are certain shortcuts... somethings can be done to make things easier..that is the purpose of opening this forum...plzz share your cheat codes here.. useful ones will be rated surely..let me start...u all know tissue system..there are many types of tissues..let me tell you those of squamous epitheliummsquamous..mesothelium , endothelium, henles loop , lungs alveoli, bowman's capsule , ...it can be memorised as MEHAB ... cuboidal epithelium proximal tubule(PCT), pancreatic duct , distal tubule(DCT) , germinal epitelium of

REMEMBERING THE NAMES OF VITAMINS EASILY >>>VIZ VITAMIN B -COMPLEXES
SO HOW TO REMEMBER VITAMIN B COMPLEXES : ----IVE FOUND A METHOD HOPE IT HELPXX
IT GOES LYK THIAMIN ? SHOULD BE VCH VITAMIN ?? VIT B1?B2?B3?B4 etc..
SO its eZi LOOK
THIAMIN HAS alphabet " A " VCH IS THE NO# 1 ALPHABET OF THE 26 ALPHABETS SO V SAY THIAMIN IS VIT B1
SIMILARLY
RIBOFLAVIN = HAS "B" VCH RANKS 2nd ALPHABET oUT OF the 26 alphabets ie B MEANS IT IS VIT B2
SIMILARY
NIACIN = HAS "C" means VIT B3
PANTOTHENIC ACID = SINCE PENTA MEANS 5 so ItS VIT B5>>> THNX PLZ RATE
ALSo
PYRIDOXINE = HAS X VCH SOUNDS LYK HEXA WE CONCLUDE IT IS VIT B6
HOPE IT HELPZ
LUV U ALL >>>T.C BYEX nd most of all "ALL THE BEXT TO VIGNESH 4 BEGINNING THIS USEFUL THREAD..THMBX up YO!!!
its too interesting......
its about our carpal bones....
let c....
She - scaphoid
Looks - lunate
Too - triquitral
Pretty - pisiform
Try - trapezium
To -trapezoid
Catch -capitate
Her -hammate
here 1st 4 are in distal rows frm thumb side ,
while in proximal row,last 4 are present n r frm thumb side onli.....
out of 8 carpal bones,capitate is tha largest .....
hope u will understand it.......
lets c contents of femoral triangle which is present in the front of our thigh.....
from medial to lateral side....
V -[femoral[ vein
A -[femora]l artery
N -[femoral] nerve
its so easy,pneumonic is VAN......
rate if satissfied,or if doubt nudge me....
STRUCTURES PASSING THROUGH FORAMEN OVALE......
M - MANDIBULAR NERVE
A-ACCESSORY MENINGEAL ARTERY
L-LESSER PETROSAL NERVE
E-EMISSARY VEIN CONNECTING SIGMOID SINUS WITH PTRYGOID PLEXUS.....
SO PNEUMONICS IS "MALE" FOR OVALE.....
PLZ RATE ME ./........
Awesome forum: Thank you SO much for all the great input!
1) To recall which side of the heart carries what type of blood --> "LORD" (Left Oxygenated, Right Deoxygenated)
2) Taxonomic Hierarchies --> King Philip Cried Out, "For Goodness' Sake!" (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species."
3) Purines - Since the word is short, so they're double ring molecules. (Adenine, Guanine)
Whereas, Pyrimidines - long word, single ring. (Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil)
[Also, "Crazy Glue":
Strongest bonds are between Cytosine and Guanine, strong like Crazy Glue (3 H-bonds), whereas the A=T only have 2 H-bonds. - not by me]
4) Trisomy Eighteen = Edward's Syndrome
Then mnemonics created by others and I find helpful
5) PROlactin stimulates the mammary glands to PROduce milk.
Oxytocin stimulates the mammary glands to Ooze (release) milk.
6) Directions of pCO2 and HCO3 according to pH
ROME:
Respiratory= Opposite:
· pH is high, PCO2 is down (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, PCO2 is up (Acidosis).
Metabolic= Equal:
· pH is high, HCO3 is high (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, HCO3 is low (Acidosis).
7) Hepatitis: transmission routes:
"Vowels are bowels":
Hepatitis A and E transmitted by fecal-oral route.
8 ) Hemoglobin binding curve: causes of shift to the right = CADET
CO2
Acid
2,3-DPG (aka 2,3 BPG)
Exercise
Temperature
9)Types of blotting:
"SN0W DR0P":
· Match up the 1st word letter with 2nd word letter:
Southern=DNA
Northern=RNA
Western=Protein
10) Effects of Basophils & Eosinophils on allergy:
Basophils are "Bad-o-phils" because they contribute to our allergic reactions.
Eosinophils are "Easy-on-me-phils" because they counteract our allergic reactions.
That's it for now. Keep 'em coming!















Mnemonimania: on vaccines courtesy my zoology sir and a lil tweaking by me....
the vaccines used nowadays are of many types..attenuated vaccines : weakened pathogens unable to cause disease but sufficient to activate our immune response.. eg. Influenza, BCG, OPV, yellow fever, small pox.. remembered as hI BOYS or boy's eye(I) killed : dead pathogens used but their antibody sites are still funtional eg. TAB vaccine, Typhoid vaccine, salk vaccine for polio, rabies, plague, typhus fever vaccine, and cholera remembered as: TaTa SiR,Please Take Care. cell fragments: this is real hell to remember even if u use a mnemonic. eg. PCM : polysaccharide of cell wall of meningococcal bacteria PCP: polysaccharide of capsule of pneumococcal bacteria HBP : hepatitis B polypeptide.
