Multiple myeloma is the cancer developed in the plasma cell that is a kind of white blood cell. The plasma cell helps in production of antibodies that protects the body from infection. Multiple myeloma causes the cancerous cells to aggregate in the bone marrow and covers the healthy cells.
The diagnosis of this type of cancer includes bone marrow biopsy, urine and blood tests. The bone marrow plasmocytosis includes the increase in plasma cells number in the bone marrow. The areas of bone damage that are due to cancerous plasma cell are the lytic bone lesions.
The proteins produced by the cancerous cells are detected in serum and urine samples. Thus, definitive diagnosis of multiple myeloma includes the triad of bone marrow plasmacytosis, lytic bone lesions, and <u>Serum</u>.
Receptors which provide animals with information from the external environment are located in ears, tongue, eyes, and the nose. These are all receptors that can be found in our sensory organs and provide us with feedback from our nearby environment and the stimuli on which we should be alerted towards.
There are several mutations that benefit the organism.A well known example is the antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria, which aid in their survival even when they are exposed to a given antibiotic. A single gene mutation in wild almond trees resulted in a variety that no longer synthesizes amygdalin.
