Caltha palustris: Introduction, Taxonomical classification, Distribution, Botanical Description, Harvesting, Chemical composition, Toxicity and contraindications Introduction Caltha palustris, often called marsh-marigold or kingcup, is a small to medium-sized perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the buttercup family. It is indigenous to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and grows in marshes, fens, ditches, and wet woodlands.

Joint Movements: Gliding, Angular Movement, Sternoclavicular joint, Shoulder joint, Elbow joint, and Hip joint

Special Movements
1. Eversion: pointing the foot’s sole laterally and outward.
2. Inversion: pointing the foot’s sole medially inward. The most typical method of ankle spraining.
3. Dorsiflexion, which involves pointing the toes or foot upward.
4. Plantar flexion: standing on “tippy toes,” pointing the toes downward, and lengthening the ankle.
5. Lateral flexion, which is the bending of the spine to the left or right without twisting.
6. Protraction: anterior movement in the horizontal plane, such as protruding your jaw.
7. Retraction: returning to the anatomical position by doing the opposite of protraction.
8. Opposition: thumb motion in the direction of fingers. To hold onto things. The reverse is repositioning.
9. Elevation: better movement, such as shoulder shrugging.

Joints: Meaning, Fibrous (or Immovable) Joints, Cartilaginous Joints, Synovial Joints, Ball-and-Socket Joints, Hinge Joints and Compound Joints

A joint or place of articulation is the location where two or more skeleton bones are joined to one another.
When two or more bones in the body come into close contact with one another and are joined by ligaments or cartilage, the result is a joint or place of articulation.

Thrombocytes (Platelets):  Vascular spasm, Platelets plug formation, Coagulation (blood clotting)

Blood platelets are disc-shaped, non-nucleated cell fragments that range in diameter from 2 to 4 µm. In actuality, platelets are not cells. They come from fragments of the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes that live in the red bone marrow.

White blood cells (WBC) Leucocytes: Types , Neutrophil, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocyte, Monocytes

WBCs are the largest blood cells. Leucocytes make up only over 1% of the blood volume, Leucocytes and erythrocytes differ in several ways:
1. Each leucocyte has a nucleus, mitochondria, and other organelles, proving that they are actual cells.
2. There is no Hb in them.
3. Erythrocytes are not movable, although leucocytes are.
4. Leucocytes can exit veins and penetrate the surrounding tissue, while erythrocytes typically do not leave the vascular system.
5. The lifespan of the majority of leucocytes is relatively short.
