Living His Word

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. — Psalm 100:4–5

Scientists and psychologists of the previous century have studied and recognized that gratitude is a positive attribute of life, generally improving one's sense of well—being and cultivating generosity in many ways throughout society. Research in the last two decades of the 21st century has both verified and clarified this idea.

A study just two years ago by the Mayo Clinic confirmed that behavior changes biology. Evidently, the expression of gratitude more rapidly dispenses the hormone oxytocin from the posterior pituitary gland (a hormone more generally related to both male and female reproductive functions). Scientists are finding expanded considerations of the hormone in the improvement of the immune system, of sleep, and of mood in cultivating relationships with other people. The summary article concluded that those who determine to express thanksgiving benefit from very positive results.

God, of course, knew of this from the beginning! Throughout Scripture, God reminds His people to be thankful and to express thanksgiving close to 140 times. In our verses for today, through the psalmist, He reminds those who would go through the eight gates of the temple court to begin to set their mind on gratitude. Even while they were walking into the courtyard, they were to begin giving thanks for all the goodness of the Lord. Then, as they entered in, they would be prepared to bless His name; and if they needed any ideas as to what to offer as a blessing, they could remember the constancy and endurance of God's love and faithfulness upon His people throughout all time!

Obviously, what was true for God's people of an earlier era is true for His people today. Begin expressing thanks for the very goodness of the Lord in your life and discover your ability to give praise more readily to God who loves you and desires to draw you closer to Himself.

Glenn Sunshine of the Colson Center recently reviewed the history of the German Lutheran pastor Martin Rinkart (1586–1649) who served in the region of Ellenburg during the outbreak of the Thirty Years War, a time of destruction more dire than that of World War 1. As a city of refuge during the war, because of its surrounding wall, it also became a hotbed of disease and death because of the years of plague throughout Europe. Many sick people found their way and lay at the doors of the church, with Rinkart left alone to tend them and bury the dead. In all, he tended to over 4,500 people who would die, including his wife. It is said that there were days he performed up to 50 funerals.

Surprisingly, amid such daily difficulties, Rinkart penned prayers and hymns of worship that were full of praise, trust, and constant thanksgiving for God's goodness to him. One such table prayer we know well, for it is found in every hymnal of every denomination since its writing: "Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices. Who wondrous things hath done, in whom His world rejoices. Who from our mother's arms hath blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today."

Rinkart joins the chorus of many others both in the Scripture and throughout the history of the church who found joy in their faith by learning to express deep gratitude to God who loves, protects, and provides for His children throughout the ages. May we continue this habit of the heart throughout this season of thanksgiving.

 How Does The Brain Work?

The brain stands as a marvel of biological engineering, Composing of a multitude of bodily functions ranging from cognition and memory to emotions and sensory perception. Together with the spinal cord, it constitutes the central nervous system (CNS), the command center of the human body.

Composition of the Brain

Weighing approximately 3 pounds in adults, the brain’s main structure comprises about 60% fat, interspersed with water, protein, carbohydrates, and salts. Unlike muscles, it houses a complex network of blood vessels and nerves, including neurons and glial cells.

a) Gray and White Matter

Within the central nervous system, gray matter and white matter occupies distinct regions. In the brain, gray matter forms the outer layer, rich in neuron somas, while white matter constitutes the inner section, primarily composed of axons unsheathed in myelin. Conversely, in the spinal cord, this arrangement is reversed.

b) Brain Functionality

 The brain operates by transmitting and receiving chemical and electrical signals throughout the body. These signals regulate a myriad of processes, with the brain disseminating each input. Some signals remain confined within the brain, while others traverse the spinal cord and nerves, disseminating information across the body’s expanse. This composes neural network relies on billions of interconnected neurons.

Major Brain Regions and Their Functions

1.Cerebrum

Dominating the brain’s landscape, the cerebrum encompasses the cerebral cortex and underlying white matter. It governs a spectrum of functions, including motor coordination, temperature regulation, language processing, emotional regulation, and sensory perception.

2. Brainstem

 Serving as the bridge between the cerebrum and spinal cord, the brainstem comprises the midbrain, pons, and medulla. It regulates vital autonomic functions such as heart rate, breathing, and reflexive responses.

3. Cerebellum

Nestled at the posterior aspect of the brain, the cerebellum coordinates voluntary muscle movements, posture, balance, and motor learning.

 Brain Coverings

a) Meninges

 Three layers of protective membranes, collectively known as meninges, enshroud the brain and spinal cord. These layers — dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater — shield the delicate neural tissue from physical trauma and infection.

b) Lobes of the Brain

 Each hemisphere of the brain comprises four lobes, each harboring distinct functional domains:

Frontal Lobe: Governing executive functions, motor control, and higher cognitive processes.

Parietal Lobe: Integrating sensory information, spatial awareness, and perception of pain and touch.

Occipital Lobe: Specialized for visual processing and perception.

Temporal Lobe: Involved in auditory processing, language comprehension, and memory consolidation.

Deeper Brain Structures

 These encompass important structures such as the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, and pineal gland, orchestrating hormone secretion, emotional regulation, memory consolidation, and circadian rhythms.

Blood Supply

The brain receives its oxygenated blood supply through the vertebral and carotid arteries, ensuring adequate perfusion of neural tissue. The main network of blood vessels, including the Circle of Willis, safeguards against ischemic insults and facilitates intraarterial communication.

Cranial Nerves 

The twelve pairs of cranial nerves, originating from the brainstem, mediate a diverse array of sensory and motor functions, encompassing olfaction, vision, facial expression, and auditory perception.

Comprehending the anatomy and functionality of the brain fosters a deeper appreciation of its complexity and facilitates advances in neuroscientific research and therapeutic interventions aimed at diminishing neurological disorders.

Understanding the detailed anatomy and functionality of the brain is crucial for medical students embarking on their journey of study. Expert Academic Assignment Help offers invaluable assistance in navigating the complexities of neuroscience and related subjects.

I feel like ruining someone's mood rn. ⋆.*ೃ✧

Have you ever felt like you love someone??

Im not actually sure if it even counts as platonic and familial love too, but love love isn't technically real. Its more of a reaction that people turned into a concept and romanticised it.

You see, when you get that kind of rush of emotions; that kind of warm fuzzy feeling and butterflies in your stomach, its actually a chemical reaction.

Its a release of oxytocin, the love chemical. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide normally produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. If you didn't get that, look it up on wiki.

So, everything you feel like your in love, its not love. Its just chemicals. ⋆.*ೃ♡

Love you 🩰🌷🍰

Propaganda!

Ribosomes are macromolecular machines, found within all cells, that perform biological protein synthesis (mRNA translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to form polypeptide chains. Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small and large ribosomal subunits. Each subunit consists of one or more ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and many ribosomal proteins (RPs or r-proteins). The ribosomes and associated molecules are also known as the translational apparatus.

Human vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP) or argipressin, is a hormone synthesized from the AVP gene as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, and is converted to AVP. It then travels down the axon terminating in the posterior pituitary, and is released from vesicles into the circulation in response to extracellular fluid hypertonicity (hyperosmolality).

HYPOPITUITARISM

The pituitary gland sits just below your hypothalamus. It consists of two lobes, called the anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary. The hypothalamus is connected to and communicates with the anterior lobe through a network of blood vessels. It communicates with the posterior lobe by tissue called the pituitary stalk. The hypothalamus sends signals in the form of releasing hormones to tell the anterior and posterior pituitary when to release and secrete its hormones. Malfunctioning of these glands leads to Hypopituitarism which may damage the chance of getting pregnant and maintain fertility. 

SYMPTOMS OF HYPOPITUITARISM:

Hot flashes in the upper body, usually more intense in face, neck and chest.

Irregular periods or no periods.

Loss of pubic hair.

Less production of milk for breastfeeding.

Decreased facial or body hair.

Mood swings.

Fatigue.

Unusual urination and extreme thirst.

Imbalances in minerals such as sodium and potassium, known as electrolytes.

MEDICATIONS:

Treatment for hypopituitarism depends on which pituitary hormones are deficient and the cause of the hypopituitarism. For those reasons, treatments are very individualized. The healthcare team will determine the best treatment plan according to the symptoms. Common treatment options for hypopituitarism include:

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY:Hormone replacement therapy aims to restore the deficient pituitary hormones to normal levels.

SURGERY:Pituitary adenomas can cause hypopituitarism. Adenomas are tumors formed from glandular structures in epithelial tissue caused by genetic mutations. People who have pituitary adenomas may undergo surgery to remove the adenoma.

RADIATION THERAPY:Some pituitary adenomas can be treated using radiation therapy.

Các hormone sinh ra từ tuyến yên

Các hormone sinh ra từ tuyến yên

Tuyến yên (pituitary gland) là một tuyến nội tiết quan trọng nằm ở đáy não và chịu trách nhiệm sản xuất nhiều loại hormone khác nhau. Các hormone quan trọng được tuyến yên sản xuất bao gồm:

Hormone TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): TSH kích thích tuyến giáp (thyroid gland) sản xuất hormone giáp (thyroid hormones) để điều chỉnh hoạt động của tuyến giáp và chu kỳ chuyển hóa trong cơ thể.

Hormone ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone): ACTH kích thích tuyến vỏ thận (adrenal cortex) sản xuất hormone corticosteroid, chẳng hạn như cortisol, để điều chỉnh cân bằng nước và muối, và đáng kể ảnh hưởng đến cơ chế phản ứng trước căng thẳng của cơ thể.

Hormone GH (Growth Hormone): GH có vai trò quan trọng trong sự phát triển và tăng trưởng của cơ thể, đặc biệt trong thời niên thiếu.

Hormone PRL (Prolactin): PRL thúc đẩy sự phát triển và sản xuất sữa trong tuyến vú ở phụ nữ sau khi sinh con.

Hormone FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) và LH (Luteinizing Hormone): FSH và LH điều chỉnh hoạt động của tuyến sinh dục, kiểm soát chu kỳ kinh nguyệt ở phụ nữ và sản xuất hormone giới tính nam ở nam giới.

Hormone ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) và Oxytocin: Những hormone này được sản xuất trong vùng hậu tuyến yên (posterior pituitary) và có vai trò quan trọng trong việc kiểm soát nồng độ nước trong cơ thể (ADH) và trong quá trình co bóp tử cung và sản xuất sữa (Oxytocin).

Tuyến yên chơi một vai trò quan trọng trong kiểm soát cơ chế nội tiết và cân bằng hormone trong cơ thể.

Hey There my Pituitary Glands, Today we are reviewing the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland (posterior this video) and what hormonal agents they produce. The hypothalamus produces Thyroid Releasing Hormone (TRH), Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (CRH), Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). The posterior pituitary makes the Oxytocin and Vasopressin. Instagram:

[mcqszone798]

Antidiuretic hormone is mainly secreted by the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This hormone is transported to the posterior pituitary through the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract. The half-life of antidiuretic hormone is 18 to 20 minutes.

[driftingballoons]

The posterior pituitary, while called a gland, is actually made of the axons from the hypothalamus! The hormones ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the cell bodies (in the hypothalamus), then are passed along to the posterior pituitary, where they are stored until needed (much like a child receiving an allowance; they didn’t make the money, but they carry it until ready to spend it)

A bit of biochemistry for you on Valentine's day...

"For dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and oxytocin! And let their flow never end between you two!"

Here's a bit of biochemistry for you on Valentine's day

Dopamine

In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter—a chemical released by neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain includes several distinct dopamine pathways, one of which plays a major role in the motivational component of reward-motivated behavior. The anticipation of most types of rewards increases the level of dopamine in the brain.

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication. Adrenaline is normally produced both by the adrenal glands and by a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata, where it acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).

Serotonin

Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine is a monoamine neurotransmitter. It is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness. This hormone impacts your entire body. It enables brain cells and other nervous system cells to communicate with each other. Serotonin also helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion.

Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. It is sometimes known as the "cuddle hormone" or the "love hormone," because it is released when people snuggle up or bond socially.

Research: Pet Names

(Hinted to be a sequel to Love Potion #9) A short fic inside the mind of Albedo, who desperately tries to grasp the essence of human romantic relationships. Now his next obstacle? What to call you.

Pairing -> Albedo x Female Reader (Neutral pronouns but one mention of Princess)

Word Count -> 2068

Themes -> Established Relationships, Hella Fluffy, Short Fic

Series -> #Sojourner Specials (600 Followers Event)

Warning -> You might get a heart attack from the fluffiness

Hypothesized plausible pet names:

Beautiful

Oxytocin

Honey

Muse

Cutie

Princess

Albedo is a man on a mission today. If you had known him for a while now and had been used to his antics, you can see the twinkle in his beautiful teal eyes carry a different degree of flame within it. Intensified, more so when his gaze landed on where you laid on the couch inside his stuffy laboratory. Your brows were furrowed and eyes too focused on the 48-paged research on Mondstadtian spirituality to notice his gaze and endearing smile aimed at you.

His other half for four months now clad in a white lab coat yet still looking as elegant as a cecilia softly caressed by Barbatos' winds. It had been quite a while but you know by heart of how he copes with the ways of normalcy and relationships. Your patience for him was one of the things Albedo loved about you. And now he thinks that it should be him that carries, that moves the relationship forward.

Your glistened orbs stared at his when you finally noticed his gaze on you, offering your own smile that he replies to. Yes, today he will finally reach a conclusion to his latest research:

Finding the best term of endearment for his lover.

1. Beautiful

"Hello there, beautiful." Albedo was the embodiment of not only a generous amount of wisdom but also of elegant composure. Yet the test tube of pink liquid slightly shakes from the way his hand slacks before it was pressured upon his tight grip. There will always be a person that seems to defy the general order of this world, besides your beautiful self, of course. In a good way. "Here's the executive summary and copy of your research that Lisa looked over."

The rustle of thick paper overpowered the boiling liquids in the master's alembic in front of him as he heard you gasp in delight of the news. Excitement and gratitude spilt from your lips (ever so humble, Albedo smiles to himself) as he places the tubes back into the racks, turning to finally acknowledge the presence of the Cavalry Captain.

Kaeya would send him an acknowledging nod as he leans on the door, starting small talk once again as he watches Albedo trudge over to where you two are. "So, the Prince still ignoring you, Beau-," you flinched at the loud smack the door produced upon hitting the Captain's face, pushing him off the doorway and out of the room as the laboratory door closes at Albedo's guidance.

There was a strangled cry at the other side, muffled. A sweat drops from your eyebrow as you kept a close eye at Albedo's back, who still had his hand on the doorknob. "Sorry, Captain," he doesn't sound sorry at all, "Can't let the chemical fumes escape the laboratory."

You let out an awkward laugh after holding your breath from the tension.

2. Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide. It is normally produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth. Oxytocin is released into the bloodstream as a hormone in response to love and in labor.

Albedo remembered this little snippet by heart even if he's only seen your paper's abstract once in a once over; he gladly memorized it upon your introduction of the pheromone, claiming that it was something that played a huge part in you developing feelings for him, and probably vice versa.

Whenever you hug him, you always linger for more than twenty seconds. At first the preciseness of it was confusing (yet interesting in pattern) until you claimed that the oxytocin starts to trigger upon prolonged exposure with those you love. He felt his heart be pierced by some astral arrow, not in the painful way, but he had been indulging you ever since.

It was adorable, and he finds himself following the practice unconsciously too. Placing down your binded research, Albedo would wrap his other arm around your waist as the other one was already looped around your shoulders. The action made you lean to him more with a delighted purr, and he hides his warm cheeks by nuzzling to the crown of your head.

"Oxytocin," he experimented with the 'nickname' and waited for a response or recognition. "Oxytocin." He tries again.

"Huh- no, you're pronouncing it wrong, dear!"

You lean back far enough to loosen the hug and started on your lecture on how it's correctly uttered, which would then turn into a little debrief of your research on the matter. Albedo would smile and slightly nod to your explaining ministrations, while in his head he was face-palming at the ingenious attempt.

He shouldn't have bothered with that one.

×

3. Honey

After a proper and sanitary clean up of the used equipment, in which in a honesty you have zero clue what kind of concoction he was making before Kaeya came, you are now both out beyond the walls of the city of freedom for a rare leisure time of relaxation. Albedo hums to himself at the feeling of the cool breeze brushing past his cheeks, reducing the warmth that came from him being cooped up in his laboratory.

"Ventilation really needs to be fixed there, sweetie."

He hums again as he felt your hand pull him closer to the treeline overlooking the city further away. The trees look much more lush than the last time he'd seen them, ah, maybe there's something here that could be of inspiration for his current research.

He doesn't notice the wondrous look you gave over his contemplating gaze, smiling at the thought of his mind coming up of a million questions or theories to experiment about. What a genius your lover is, you pat yourself on the back for the achievement of having him in your life, completely oblivious to his actual musings.

A buzzing noise from above had pulled you both out of your reverie, seeing a familiar structure of yellow mush and hexagonal design. A drop of honey plops on the tip of your nose. Albedo snorts. "At least we know the bee population has yet to deteriorate, honey." Ohhh, pretty smooth Albedo, Albedo nods to himself in his delivery.

"Yep, pretty sure this is honey on my nose," you chuckle as you wiped the said liquid with your thumb, looking at it in contemplation. The Alchemist's shoulders sag at his failed delivery, but he has yet to lose hope, maybe it was the distraction that ruined it. It's the perfect opportunity to try it out, he has more time.

The buzzing comes closer, Albedo straightens his back once again. "Do you wish to get some samples, Ho-"

"THAT'S NOT A BEE, THAT'S A GODDAMN WASP, RUN!"

The blonde watched your form immediately shrink as you ran like the wind, to which then he'd look at the wasp simply hovering where you were, as it stares back at him with almost human confusion.

×

4. Muse

When Albedo had finally caught up to you (you went really far) with both of you very breathless (you both have shitty stamina, he mused, you two need to get out more), he found a nice spot to settle down on to finally relax by. A spot with a nice elevation to overlook Mondstadt's glory accompanied by a nice bed of grass and stray flowers.

Inspired the artist flops down further back to start sketching the view while you and your white coat decided to haphazardly flop down on the grass, basking in the way the flowers tickled your exposed skin as you watched the clouds.

Suddenly you were talking about the clouds and dreams, about the stars and how they somehow correlate to the personalities of a human being. You closed your eyes when the sun peeked through the clouds, but you didn't mind the warm kiss, as your God's winds continued to bring the most cooling breeze.

Somehow between the grassy landscape and the distant city, Albedo had ended up including you in his sketch. You looked ethereal with the sun kiss, the white coat sprawled around you accentuating your heavenly touch, his hands making quick work to capture it all perfectly. When he looks back up again, he finds you stretching, blinking away the unexpected nap from your eyes as you start to sit up.

"Please stay still, my muse. We are in no hurry, you can rest more."

You held yourself in an awkward 45 degree angle, turning your head to his direction as you continue to wipe at your eyes. Strands frame your face perfectly as you tilt your head with a tired smile, "Muse? Dear, are you drawing me?" The sketchbook raises to hide half of his face.

Artist nerves always felt embarrassed when getting caught drawing, especially when it's the subject of the picture. "I'm simply drawing the landscape."

"Can I see it then-"

"No."

If calling you by that triggers your curiousity, maybe it's not the most convenient choice of them all. At least, not until he gets comfortable showing you the 50 pages of drawings of nothing but you.

×

5. Cutie

Head cleared and break well-spent, hand-in-hand the two couple walks back into the city of Mond for their last stop before they once again dive into their work in their respective crammed places for days on end. This statement is more appropriate for the Alchemist rather than the Sociologist, seeing as they had just finished one of their major researches and only needing proofreading to officially publicize the results. While the other was still trying to wake up from the remnants of the power nap, Albedo indulges himself with the chatters that had spurred on upon the arrival.

"Look at them, oh how cute they look."

"What a cute couple, so lucky they got THE alchemist as their cute lover."

Despite the praising directed at the other's achievement, Albedo felt more smug about his own triumph. The public does not know how lucky he was to have someone like you, so caring and patient, understanding and reflective. And more so, as they word it, absolutely-

"Cuties, it's so nice to see you two out and about." The sultry voice sent unsavory shivers down his spine, ever so subtly.

"Miss Lisa! I was just about to look for you!"

"Well here I am now, cutie. I assume this is about the proofreading?" As the two scholars delved into the specifics of the report, Albedo slightly dimmed at the loss of the warmth of your hand as you skimmed through the papers you had carried with you for reference.

Ah, he supposes it's not the most appropriate naming scheme when someone was already using it. Especially when it's connected to such character of... words he doesn't dare say now that he's in a relationship.

Lips slightly low at the edges, Albedo consults the list haphazardly written on his clipboard of sketches, crossing out his second to the last resort.

1. Beautiful

2. Oxytocin

3. Honey

4. Muse

5. Cutie

Which leaves him to his last resort, and the cheesiest one of that. "Princess, it's almost night time," he taps his pencil on the paper before looking up upon realizing the conversation had stopped on his behalf.

There you stood with your head looking over your shoulder, eyes wide and lips parted as a brush of a blush painted your cheeks. Behind towered Lisa with a knowing smirk on her face, amusement and a bit bark squeal evident at the rare public display of affection. Even if it was not physical, the scholar knew of the couple's struggles.

"Y-Yes, my prince." You mumbled slowly, and when Albedo nodded, you turned back to the librarian to finalize quickly over the book binding order. The witch knew it beforehand anyways and soon she was nudging you towards Albedo almost too enthusiastically.

"Have a nice day, Miss Lisa," he parted with those words before pulling you back to your quarters, hands immediately finding each other to intertwine. Still flustered, you shyly took a peek over Albedo's shoulder to see a triumphant smirk splattered on it as he continues to walk straight on.

How charming and adorable, you thought with a smile, as you crumpled up the numbered list of paper in the pockets of your coat.

Your own little research finally resolved.

I got to retake some endocrine histology pictures since my ones from last lab were kinda blurry so that was nice! We moved on to the hematology unit. Which personally I love. But not so great for taking pictures since blood cells are itty bitty compared to a lot of other cells :p

In order:

1-2: thyroid and parathyroid

3: erythroblastosis fetalis

4: sickle cell disease

5-7: human pancreas

8: pituitary gland

9: thyroid gland

10: trypanosomiasis

(Tap for better quality!)

And even tho no one asked I’m gonna talk about slides 3, 8, and 10 :)

Erythroblastosis fetalis: happens when a mother has a negative blood type but her fetus has a positive blood type. Blood has different antigens and when it sees an unfamiliar blood type, it attacks it! Unless the mother falls and her placenta starts bleeding, the first baby will be fine and go undetected. The second baby (if it has the different blood type) isn’t as lucky. Ofc there’s a shot for it now so the baby won’t be harmed! The disease is characterized by the “spiky” red blood cells. They’re spiky looking because they’ve been lysed (killed) and their plasma membrane is broken :)

Pituitary gland: not diseased or anything but. You can see the divide between the anterior and posterior pituitary. Anterior is the darker tissues to the right, posterior is the lighter tissue to the left. Posterior is lighter because it’s made of nervous tissue and only stores two hormones, doesn’t actually make them.

Trypanosomiasis: a parasitic blood disease transmitted by the tsetse fly! The only slide with the smear had cracked glass, hence all the lines. But, if you tap on the picture and look closely, you can actually see the parasites which look like tiny purple worms! Most of them are near the bottom if you can’t find any :)
