Epiglottis vs Glottis Glottis and epiglottis are situated in the pharynx, and help to protect the airway from aspiration during swallowing. Vocal cords that help to generate voice are also associated with glottis and epiglottis. Movement of arytenoids helps to open the glottis by moving upward and thus reduces the resistance to airflow. While […]
Tibia vs Fibula Tibia and fibula are two parallel bones that form the skeleton of leg by connecting the knee and ankle. Both bones articulate with each other proximally and distally with the aid of strong interoseus membrane, which helps to transfer the forces between them. Tibia and fibula are nearly equal in length, […]
The key difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is that the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for controlling the body’s responses to perceived harm and the mobilizing the “fight or flight” response while the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for controlling the homeostasis and the body’s “rest-and-digest” response. The autonomic nervous system is a […]

It makes the framework of the human body, hence maintains the body shape and provides sites to attach muscles in the body. More than 90 % of the skeletal system is made up of bones. There are […]
White Matter vs Gray Matter Both white matter and gray matter are terms that relate with the cells of the brain. A cross section of a brain will show these cells in their respective colours, and they are so named as white and gray matter. However, the two types of brain tissues become white […]
Neural vs Neuronal Nervous system is one of the very important organ systems in our bodies. One could argue it is the most evolved organ system of human beings because man has always moved a few steps ahead with the brain functioning, being the most intelligent species on planet earth. Scientists assume the intelligence […]
Lung Volume vs Lung Capacity Respiration can be stated simply as the process of up taking oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the cells of the body. The gas exchange and the cellular respiration are the main categories of it. The human respiratory system is well designed to the process of gas exchange. Ventilation […]
The key difference between left and right kidney is their position and size. The left kidney is slightly larger and higher in position than the right kidney. Kidneys are a pair of organs that lie on either side of the vertebral column, and in the posterior abdominal wall underneath the diaphragm. However, there is a slight […]
