AbstractAn understanding of the immune system and its modes of action is fundamental to understanding the causes, natural history, management and treatment of many diseases. As such, a grasp of the principles of immunology is essential for every physician.This paper represents a succinct overview of the immune system, discussing the major components in turn, in respect of structure, function and integrated organisation, in relation to head and neck cancer.

Updhatus are important physiological units and are derived from Dhatus and resemble Dhatus in terms of structure, function and nature. Dhatus are the seven basic fundamental principles that support the basic structure which hold the bodily elements together and the functioning of the body. Meda dhatu is fourth among seven dhatus. During the process of metabolism and formation of Meda Dhatu, ligaments (snayu) are formed as metabolic byproducts (upadhatu). Snayu is the most important structure of the human body which helps to maintain the weight carrying capacity of the joint and plays a crucial role during the movement of the joint. The Snayu is much similar to the ligament. Any injury to the ligament is known as a sprain. Sprain is most common in sportsmen and hard workers. Common ligamental injuries are to the knee, ankle, wrist, thumb, neck or back ligament with ankle injury being the most commonly occurring injury. So, the complete knowledge of snayu very essential to prevent such injuries and certain disease conditions. Keywords: Updhatu, Meda Dhatu, Snayu

This short review provides a broad, and therefore necessarily incomplete and personal, overview of G-protein-coupled receptors, which are often targets for a wide range of important drugs: I will discuss successively their structure, function and interactions with associated proteins. Examples will be drawn from work done over the last 30 years by scientists that worked at different times in my laboratories, mainly in the field of β-adrenoceptors, muscarinic acetylcholine, melatonin and angiotensin receptors.
