MAINTAINING HEALTHY KIDNEY FUNCTION

It’s so easy to take your kidneys for granted, especially because they chug along day after day, working their magic without you having to lift a finger. And if you happen to lose a kidney because of infection, injury, or donating one, the remaining kidney just takes over the extra load and keeps on trucking.

In fact, a healthy person who donates one of his kidneys has a life span equal to someone who has two normal, healthy kidneys.

THE HUMAN TONGUE

A Labelled Diagram of The Human Tongue

When we talk about the tongue, what comes to your mind? Is it just an ordinary muscular taste organ or is there more to the usage of the tongue other than taste?

The tongue is a muscular HYDROSTAT in the mouth; it is covered with pink moist tissue called MUCOSA. Its rough texture is a result of tiny bumps called PAPILLAE which is sensitive and kept moist by saliva and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels.
