RNA viruses: negative stranded "Always Bring Polymerase Or Fail Replication":
Arena
Bunya
Paramyxo
Orthomyxo
Filo
Rhabdo
· Note: Negative RNA viruses need there own polymerase.

 

Atrioventricular valves "LAB RAT":
Left Atrium: Bicuspid
Right Atrium: Tricuspid

 

 

 

Hypothalamus: general functions "TALE of the hypothalamus":
Temperature
Appetite
Libido
Emotion

 

Vaccines: types STARK:
Subunit
Toxoid
Attenuated [live]
Recombinant
Killed [inactivated]

 

 

Adrenal gland: functions ACTH:
Adrenergic functions
Catabolism of proteins/ Carbohydrate metabolism
T cell immunomodulation
Hyper/ Hypotension (blood pressure control)

 

 

 

Enzyme kinetics: competitive vs. non-competitive inhibition With Kompetitive inhibition: Km increases; no change in Vmax.
With Non-kompetitive inhibition: No change in Km; Vmax decreases.

 

 

Parasympathetic vs. sympathetic function Sympathetic nervous system: "Fight or Flight".
Parasympathetic nervous system: "Rest and Digest".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Citric acid cycle ....
 
citric acid ---> cis-aconitic acid----> isocitric acid--(NAD ---> NADH2) --> oxalosuccinic acid (OSA) --> alpha-ketoglutaric acid (@-KGA)
 
--(NAD --->NADH2)-> succinyl coA ,---> succinic acid ------> fumaric acid ------> malic acid --(NAD--->NADH2)--> oxalo acetic acid (OAA)----> again citric acid....
 
CRICKET CLUB OF INDIA, OK SUCCESS FIRST MATCH OVER.
 
cricket = citric acid
 
club = cis aconitic acid
 
india = isocitric acid
 
o k = oxalosuccinic acid ::::::::::> alpha Ketoglutaric acid.
 
SuccesS = succinyl coenzyme A and Succinic acid
 
First = fumaric acid
 
Match = Malic Acid
 
Over = Oxalo succinic acid
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mnemonic Zoology term
King Kingdom
Penguins Phylum
congregate Class
on Order
frozen Family
ground Genus
sometimes Species

The zoology mnemonic is used to memorise the scientific classification applied in zoology. The most common mnemonic is king penguins congregate on frozen ground sometimes. The first letter of each word of the mnemonic corresponding in order to the first letter of the descending order of scientific classification.

 

HORSE EVOLUTION

OMi Mia ka Prime Minister Platform Goda( or horse or equus instead of Goda )

which stands for

Orohippus  

 Mesohippus 

Miohippus

Parahippus

Merychippus (calllipus)

Plieohippus

Equus

dont forget to add hyracothecium at the start..

 

 

 

FOR FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS………….

KuMARan is a DoCtOR who always EATS.

K=Vit. K  = Menadione(M) . u all know its required for clotting of blood and so anti-haemorrhagic vitamin.

A= Vit. A = Retinol(R). Now it is for vision.

D = Vit. D = Calciferol(C). It causes Osteomalacia(O) in adults as Rickets(R) in children.

E= Vit. E = Antisterility(A)/beauty vitamin = Tocopherol(T)

 

to remember lichen is composed of algal and fungi...some usually forget.....she was All Gal and he was a Fun Guy....so they took a Like'n to each other...

 

 

ETC in mitochondria...

there r 5 complexes in inner mitochondrial membrane...

the electron flow is like this..

FMN ---->  FeS ------> Co Q(coenzyme Q or ubiqionone) --- reduced CoQ ---> cyt b--->FeS ----> cyt c-----> cyt a---> cyt a3 ----> to oxygen ion.

or if FADH2 is present, then FAD ----> FeS ---> coQ  then the pathway is similar...

so for this, i came up with a mnemonic...

Fins of Foetus of Corkfish and Belly of Cat arent Analogous stri (girl in sanskrit)

every  ' of' stands for FeS ...

Corkfish = CoQ

arent = cyt a

analogous stri = cyt a3

belly = cyt b

FINS = FMN

Foetus = FAD

 

 

cell cycle:interphase,prophase,metaphase,anaphase,telophase I Passed My Algebra Test

 

 

white blood cells:neutrophil,lymphocyte,monocyte,eosinophil,basophilNever Let Monkeys Eat Bananas(in their volume)Never Eat Bananas Like Monkeys(first 3 granulocyte.4& 5 is agranulocyte)

 

 

 

to remember the chemicals released during inflammatory process Kevin Peterson Hardworking CricketerK-kinins P-prostadoglandins H-histamines C-cytokines

 

 

Now, there are two pancreatic ducts.............

Main pancreatic duct - Wirsung duct

Accessory pancreatic duct - Duct of Santorini

To remember this just u have to remwmber that  W is inverted M . In this way first one can be remebered and the left out is for second one.

 

 

 

 

 

Parotid - Stenson's duct

Sub-maxillary - Wharton's duct

Sub-lingual - Duct of Rivinus

Read this as :-   SaRe SuWadist bhojan ParSo  or  SaLaam siR , koi  SuWadist bhojan ParSoon kya?

 

 

Citric acid cycle ....
 
citric acid ---> cis-aconitic acid----> isocitric acid--(NAD ---> NADH2) --> oxalosuccinic acid (OSA) --> alpha-ketoglutaric acid (@-KGA)
 
--(NAD --->NADH2)-> succinyl coA ,---> succinic acid ------> fumaric acid ------> malic acid --(NAD--->NADH2)--> oxalo acetic acid (OAA)----> again citric acid....
 
and to complicate things ( not actually !!!) in some steps NADH2 is formed, and in some FADH2 is formed.....
 
so..  here is my mnemonic...
 
Commonly, All sisters Isolate OSAma's KG- amputates Sharply Suceeding in Filming Meteorates (actually meteorites) Ascending only above...
 
now..plzz note that whenver a word ends with  -ate here, in that step,  NADH2 is formed.....that 
 
here... Commonly - citric acid
 
All sisters = aconitic acid cis form
 
Isolate - isocitric acid....
 
OSAma = oxalosuccinic acid
 
KG-amputate =  @-KGA
 
Sharply= succinyl coA
 
suceeding = succinic acid
 
filming = fumaric acid...
 
metoerate = malic acid
 

only ascending above = OAA 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tissue system..


there are many types of tissues..


let me tell you those of squamous epitheliumm


squamous..


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 testes and ovary , choroid layer of eyes ( iris + ciliary body) , Respiratory bronchioles , duct of sweat and salivary glands 


it can be memorised as Patna k Private Doctoron ne Gundo Ka Rishwad Swikara ...


 

 

 

columnar epithelium ..
Gall bladder
Intestine
Pancrease
Stomach
Bile duct
Intestinal glands ( crypts of leiberkuhn )
Gastric glands ( oxyntic cells and cheif cells)

this can be memorised as Go In Puraani Sabji mandi In Goa..


ciliated columnar epithelium

Respiratory tract
Auditory canal
Fallopian ducts
Tympanic cavity ( i.e middle ear)
Ventricles of brain..

Rukh At FTV .... or Fur Vala RAT ... both are equally good...

 

 

 

Kala Azar - Leishmania (KL)
Sleeping sickness - Trypanosoma (ST)

 

 

 

to remember the essential elements

CHO P K N S Ca Mg

Chopkins Ka Mighty Goal.

 

 

 

to remember taxonomical hierarchy:kingdom,phylum,class,order,genus,species:Keep Pots Clean Or Family Gets Sick...

 

 

 Some tricks in evolution….

1. Palaeozoic era-

COrdiac(cardiac) glycoSiDes of  Calotropis Plant

 Cambrian , Ordovician (Age of Invertebrates),Silurian, Devonian(Age of Fishes), Carboniferous(Age of           Amphibians), Permian

2.Coenozoic era – tertiary period-

PalE and Old Mr. Pritam

Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene(Age of Mammals)

 

 


southern blotting is used for DNA analysis
Northern blotting is used for RNA analysis
Western blotting is used for proteins

an easy way to memorise this...
south matlab Dakshin... DNA..

west matlab paschim ( or purab.. i'm awful with directions anyways...).. Protein..

aur bacha hai north our RNA.. so thats the only other match...

PSuedo FoRce Se Work Karo..



plankton stage

submerged stage

free floating stage

Reed swanp stage

Sedge stage or marsh meadow stage

woodland stage or scrub stage

climax community

 

 

 

In DNA duplex
1. template strand,minus strand, sense strand -----> 3'-5'
2. nontemplate strand, plus strand, antisense and coding strand--> 5'-3'
to remember 3-5= -2 so minus strand(remember other names)
5-3= +2 so plus strand

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rods vs. cone function RoD: Dim light.
Cones: Color.

 

 

T and B cells: types When bacteria enter body, T-cell says to B: "Help Me Catch Some!" B-cell replies: "My Pleasure!":
· T-cell types:
Helper
Memory
Cytotoxic
Suppressor
· B-cell types:
Memory cell
Plasma cell
