THE CREATIVE SPARK

 The Human Body has 3 pairs of salivary glands located in the body. These are Parotid, Submaxillary and Sublingual. Parotid salivary gland is present on the masseter muscle and can be felt on the surface of the skin of the jaw. Rest of the glands are located a bit deep, but can be palpated. Our body contains a pair of previously overlooked and clinically relevant nasopharyngeal salivary glands, according to new research led by the Netherlands Cancer Institute and the University of Amsterdam. Sparing these newly-identified glands, named the ‘tubarial glands,’ in patients receiving radiotherapy may provide an opportunity to improve their quality of life. There are 2 types of glands in the body, Major and minor. Parotid, submandibular and submaxillary are considered as MAJOR Salivary glands, where as thousands of minor salivary glands are distributed along the nasopharynx and oral mucosa.  These glands produce the saliva required for mastication, swallowing, digestion, tasting and dental

This image shows the detailed inside structure of HIV. The basic thing to note here is that, HIV is a RETROVIRUS belonging to the family called as Lentiviridae. Retrovirus means the virus who can turn RNA into DNA and RNA being the primary genetic material. The enzyme Reverse transcriptase helps in the conversion of the viral RNA into the DNA, which is then added into the Host's DNA to carry out the life cycle. As the Virus enters the body, it has a affinity towards the CD4 cells (a part of White blood cell family). This causes reduction in number
