Virtual Anatomy - Animation Of Attacking Cells

Virtual Anatomy - Modelling The Mass Cells

First of all I started by copying a piece of chewed up food from the throat and then surrounding it with green spheres which represent the mass cells acting the food.





I then added a key frame and moved the green spheres so they look attached and key framed them again, I then created small spheres and copied them and moved them randomly so they looked like bubbles of histamines.

After I key framed the bubbles, I moved them inside and key framed them again. Then I copied the throat cylinder and rotated it and surrounded the food with the cylinder.

Virtual Anatomy - Modelling The Throat

I started with a cylinder and cut it up using the insert edge loop tool, then i extruded out the faces with wider gaps between the edge loops to give a ridged effect.







I then copied the ridged cylinder, rotating and moving into the position shown in the render below









After I created a flap covering the wind pipe and textured it in a pink lambert colour like skin and created some chewed up nuts in the esophagus which I textured in different shades of brown on a lambert shader, then to get a perspective as if travelling around the body, i put a camera pointing down the ridged cylinder so you could see the perspective that the food would be taking

Peanut is put in mouth












Peanuts enters the mouth










The peanut enters the throat










Peanut travels down the esophagus










Mast cells attack the foreign food and releases histamines

The airway contracts making breathing

The blood vessels dilate and start to leak so blood pressure lowers

The heart beats irregularly

The epi-pen pierces into the muscle thigh

Alpha and beta receptors bind together using the epinephrine from the epi pen

It causes the blood vessels to narrow which increases blood pressure

The airway opens to ease breathing

In turn the heart becomes more regular
