Difference Between CT Scan (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

September 7, 2017 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

CT Scan uses harmful x-rays ( the form of electromagnetic radiation like light) for imaging, while MRI does not use any radiation and is based on the effect of the magnetic field, radio waves for the imaging of the organs of the body. CT Scan gives the images of the bones in a much-sophisticated way than the x-ray and is good to check the fractures, tumors, and arthritis but MRI which is popular in detecting the damage of soft tissue. It is also seen that CT Scan is not as expensive as the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Tendons and Ligaments

September 5, 2017 by Rachna C 1 Comment

Tendons attach or support the joints between muscles and bones, while ligaments support the joints between bones. Tendons are strong and non-flexible, whereas ligaments are flexible and elastic. Both being the part of the musculoskeletal system, play the vital role in the joints and bones and thus responsible for all kinds of movements in the body. As we all know that the human body consists of 206 bones, these bones are composed of movable and non-movable joints of the bones. These bones are … [Read more...]

Difference Between Solute and Solvent

August 31, 2017 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Solute and Solvent are the part of the solution where the dissolved matter in any solution or mixture is called as the solute, while the liquid or gas that dissolves another liquid, solid or gas is called as the solvent. A solution can be defined as the homogenous mixture of two or more substances. So in a solution, the substance which gets dissolved is solute, whereas solvent is the substance in which the solute will dissolve. There are many products in day to day life prepared by the … [Read more...]

Difference Between Acute and Chronic Disease

August 30, 2017 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Such medical conditions which occur suddenly and last for the brief period in the body, are said to be the acute disease. But the medical condition where the disease occurs slowly and last for a long time or sometimes for the entire life is called as the chronic disease. By saying or concluding that the disease is acute or chronic, it will not define the severity of that disease rather only length of the illness or diseases. As sometimes acute condition may develop into chronic disease also, … [Read more...]

Difference Between Plant Cell and Animal Cell

August 29, 2017 by Rachna C 4 Comments

The plant cell and the animal cell can be differentiated by the presence of organelles in them. Although both are classified as Eukaryotes, the presence of the cell wall, vacuoles, and chloroplasts are the most remarkable and distinguishing components of the plant cells which are absent in the animal cells. Even the size of the animal cell is smaller than the plant cell. The concept of cell originated from the historical work done by the Schleiden and Schwann in 1838. Cells exist in an … [Read more...]

Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

August 18, 2017 by Rachna C 1 Comment

 Type 1 diabetes is considered as the autoimmune disease, while Type 2 is said as progressive disease. Also, Type 2 is much more common than the type 1. Both the types are characterized by the higher blood sugar level as compared to the normal one. But the basic difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is their cause and development. Diabetes is nowadays very common metabolic disorder, where the body is unable to store and use the sugar (glucose) which is found in blood and work as fuel … [Read more...]

Difference Between Myopia (short-sightedness) and Hyperopia (long-sightedness)

August 11, 2017 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

Myopia also is known as short-sightedness, while Hyperopia is also known as long-sightedness. These are the defects of vision of an eye in which a person is unable to see the near by or distant objects. The condition in which the person is not able to see the distant object is known as myopia or short-sightedness. Although long-sightedness is opposite to that of earlier given condition, as in this the person is not able to the nearby objects. There are other vision problems also like … [Read more...]

Difference Between Incomplete Dominance and Co-Dominance

August 3, 2017 by Rachna C 2 Comments

When one allele for a specific trait does not completely dominate over the other allele, and therefore the phenotype produced is the complete mixture of both dominant and recessive allele is known as Incomplete Dominance. While in Co-Dominance both the allele for a specific trait are equally expressed. The resultant phenotype will express both the character equally of both participating alleles. As stated by Gregor Mendel, traits are inherited by the transfer of genes from parents to their … [Read more...]

Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids

August 1, 2017 by Rachna C 1 Comment

Saturated fatty acids do not contain double bonds C-C (only single bonds), whereas unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds C=C. The chain length of most common fatty acids is of 16-18 number of carbon. The triglyceride is considered as the common and simple type of fat, having three fatty acids and glyceride. By the chemical structure of fatty acid chain, the division is done. Fatty acids are the carboxylic acids with the side chain of hydrocarbon and also the simplest form … [Read more...]

Difference Between Benign (non-cancerous) and Malignant (cancerous) Tumors

July 31, 2017 by Rachna C Leave a Comment

The first thing when the patient is diagnosed with cancer is to detect whether it is a Benign or Malignant. A benign tumor is a stage when the cells show normal growth, but the production of the cell is higher giving rise to the abnormal lump (compact mass). In the case of Malignant tumor the cell shows abnormal growth, they overgrew in numbers uncontrollably, produces lumps and result in the cancerous cell. Secondly, the cells in benign tumor do not spread to other parts of the body from … [Read more...]
