A tissue is a group of cells that has a similar structure and acts together to perform one or more specific functions. In this tutorial, we will introduce you to the 4 main types of tissues in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue creates protective boundaries and is involved in the diffusion of ions and molecules, whereas connective tissue underlies and supports other tissue types.
Muscle tissue contracts to initiate movement in the body and nervous tissue transmits and integrates information through the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In this video tutorial we will take a closer look at the histology of the main cells and tissues under the microscope.

There are three main types of lung cancer. Knowing which type you have is important because it affects your treatment options and your outlook (prognosis). If you aren’t sure which type of lung cancer you have, ask your doctor so you can get the right information.
Anytime you're having unprotected sex, there's always a chance that a woman can get pregnant. Pregnancy requires sperm and egg to meet up together so a woman needs to be during her most fertile time of the month, which is usually 6 days out of the month; 5 days leading up to ovulation and on the day of ovulation. For most women, ovulation happens 12-16 days before her period's going to start. So a woman is usually most fertile for a week to a week and a half after her period has ended generally speaking, if you don't want to count each and every single day. So if you have unprotected intercourse during this time, then there's a high probability that a woman can get pregnant. Now, you mentioned that your girlfriend is supposed to start her period in about five days or so. If you've had intercourse any time leading up to this, there's always a chance that she could get pregnant. But as for the mechanics of it all, in order to get pregnant, semen needs to be inserted inside the vaginal canal where the egg and sperm can then meet. So if that did not happen, then the chances of her getting pregnant are slim. But if that has happened, the chances of her getting pregnant are great. So it would be best for you and her to just wait until her period is supposed to start and if she's late, then take an over-the-counter pregnancy test and if it's positive, congratulations to both of you! If it's negative and she still doesn't start her period, then tell her to wait about 5-7 days. Take another test and then maybe at that point, it will be positive if she is indeed pregnant. If she continues to not have a period or she's concerned about anything, it would be best for her to follow up with her doctor and they can decide if further investigation or treatment is warranted. If you have any other questions for me, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at facebook.com/intermountainmoms and recommend us to your friends and family, too.
(cryptorchidism) is a testicle that hasn't moved into its proper position in the bag of skin hanging below the penis (scrotum) before birth. Usually just one testicle is affected, but about 10 percent of the time both testicles are undescended. An undescended testicle is uncommon in general, but common among baby boys born prematurely. The vast majority of the time, the undescended testicle moves into the proper position on its own, within the first few months of life. If your son has an undescended testicle that doesn't correct itself, surgery can relocate the testicle into the scrotum.
Neurogenic shock is a distributive type of shock resulting in low blood pressure, occasionally with a slowed heart rate, that is attributed to the disruption of the autonomic pathways within the spinal cord. It can occur after damage to the central nervous system such as spinal cord injury.
This is an example of a surgery to fix a femur (thigh bone) fracture utilizing an intramedullary nail. This is a minimally invasive way of fixing this surgical problem and allows for immediate range of motion and full weight-bearing.
