Cell Membrane: The Boundary Separating Cells
The cell membrane is a crucial component found in all cells, consisting of proteins and lipids. It acts as a boundary that separates the cell from its environment. Explore different models such as the Fluid Mosaic Model and learn about the components like phospholipids that make up the membrane. Discover the importance of membrane fluidity and how it impacts the cell's function in transporting materials in and out.

INTRODUCTION In the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago has the highest overall percentage of deaths due to CNCDs. Over 60 percent of all deaths are due to the four major CNCDs which are heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke. Examining blood flow through a blood vessel with stenosis is crucial in understanding blood flow in patients with atherosclerosis.

INTRODUCTION Varying haematocrit- polycythaemia, hypertension, Hb SS-sickle cell. Therapy with heat is used in the medical field to heal injured muscles. Magnetic fields- MRI machines, targeted drug transport carriers, cancer tumour treatment and tracers. Cells and organs are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Medication which can affect vascular permeability- angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, antihistimines, betablockers, calcium channel blockers, nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs, decongestants and sildenafil.

OBJECTIVES To model stenosed blood flow in the presence of permeable walls, an external magnetic field and convective heat transfer. To examine the effect of varying parameters on: Friction-factor Reynolds number Temperature Nusselt number To aid in understanding the effects of wall permeability, a magnetic field and the presence of heat transfer on different diseased arterial systems in the future.

CONCLUSION In patients with an elevated red blood cell level or those exposed to high intensity magnetic fields, a rise in the temperature of the blood is possible. Increasing wall permeability increases temperature so this must be monitored in patients who take drugs which alter wall permeability. On introducing the magnetic field and increasing its intensity, less heat and energy loss is expected. The rate of heat transfer decreased as the wall became more permeable. As haematocrit increases or as the atherosclerotic plaque growth progresses, a slight decline in the heat and energy loss was observed.
