Comparison between tract and nerve

-
  Comparison between tract and nerve Nerve Nerve contain bundle of axons (nerve fibers) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that transmits signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and other parts of the body. It is the most important part of peripheral nervous system Location: Peripheral nervous system. Structure: Made of axons, connective tissue layers (endoneurium: axon is surrounded by it , perineurium: bundle of axons are surrounded by it, epineurium: whole nerve trunk is surrounded by it), and blood vessels. It gets myelination by Schwann cell   Function: Carries sensory signals to the CNS (afferent) from peripheral part of body or motor signals carry from from the CNS (efferent) to target organs like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle or glands Example: Sciatic nerve, median nerve, except optic nerve (though optic nerve is technically part of CNS in develop...

Difference between probability sampling and non-probability sampling methods

 

 


Probability Sampling Methods

Non-Probability Sampling Methods

Definition

Probability Sampling is a sampling technique in which samples from a larger population are chosen using a method based on the theory of probability.

Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique in which the researcher selects samples based on the researcher’s subjective judgment rather than random selection.

Alternatively Known as

Random sampling method.

Non-random sampling method

Population selection

The population is selected randomly.

The population is selected arbitrarily.

Nature

The research is conclusive.

The research is exploratory.

Sample

Since there is a method for deciding the sample, the population demographics are conclusively represented.

Since the sampling method is arbitrary, the population demographics representation is almost always skewed.

Time Taken

Takes longer to conduct since the research design defines the selection parameters before the market research study begins.

This type of sampling method is quick since neither the sample or selection criteria of the sample are undefined.

Results

This type of sampling is entirely unbiased and hence the results are unbiased too and conclusive.

This type of sampling is entirely biased and hence the results are biased too, rendering the research speculative.

Hypothesis

In probability sampling, there is an underlying hypothesis before the study begins and the objective of this method is to prove the hypothesis.

In non-probability sampling, the hypothesis is derived after conducting the research study.

Fibroblast vs fibrocyte

-
  Fibroblast  is permanent  connective tissue cell responsible for the production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and collagen fibers which  are essential for tissue structure and repair and play a major role in wound healing. unique features of Fibroblasts : Shape and Structure :  Spindle-shaped (elongated). it contain l arge nucleus that is oval or elliptical . and c ytoplasm is abundant and basophilic (stains blue), reflecting active protein synthesis. and it has  prominent nucleolus , indicating high activity in protein synthesis. Function : it produces the structural components of the extracellular matrix like collagen , elastin , glycosaminoglycans , and proteoglycans .  In response to injury, fibroblasts proliferate and migrate to the site of injury, secreting growth factors and ECM components to promote tissue repair and fibrosis. Major producer of collagen fibers which provide tensile strength to tissues. Elastin Production : ...
