infectious body fluids

When this condition arises, the urine passed out of the body is more dilute or hypotonic than the body fluids to expel the excess of water. This is because excess of water in the body fluids lowers the osmotic pressure of the blood and increases th..

Viscosity - When two solid surfaces slide over each other, a frictional force acts between them that opposes the relative motion of the bodies. Similarly, when a layer of a liquid slips on another layer the two exert a tangential force on another. This opposes their motion. The property o..

The body cavity is a true coelom since it is lined by a layer of coelomic epithelium of mesodermal origin. The coelom is filled with a watery fluid called coelomic fluid which encloses atleast 4 different types of cells (=corpuscles) Phagocytes which can ingest disease..

Lymph - It is another type of fluid connective tissue. It is characterized by the absence of RBC. Hence, it has a plasma containing only WBC. Some of the plasma proteins found in blood, are absent in the lymph. Lymph flows only inside definite vessels called lymph vessels or lacteals. In ..

Archimedes' studied the upthrust acting on a body, when it is partially or completely immersed in a fluid by performing several experiments and then stated the following principle known as the Archimedes' Princip..
