However, if different organs vary in the density of receptors for such a 'body size signal', this would lead to differences in the 'sensitivity' of each organ, which might lead to organ-specific allometries. Such a mechanism might underlie genetic variation within populations and account for ...
Beam on time was 10.13 minutes in the head-first position and 2.91 minutes in the foot-first position. MU values were 2250 in the head-first position and 508 in the foot-first position. Outcome and follow up This patient was successfully tr...
Hybridization has been recognized to play important roles in evolution, however studies of the genetic consequence are still lagging behind in vertebrates due to the lack of appropriate experimental systems. Fish of the genusXiphophorusare proposed to have evolved with multiple ancient and ongoing hybrid...
off his cloak to reveal an extra set of arms and a knack for wielding lightsabers. (And spinning them like brightly-lit windmills.) Unable to best him using laser swords, Kenobi tears open Grievous’ chest to fire blasters at his shriveled internal organs until fire spews from his eyes.JH...
Histopathological and ultrastructural analysis of heart, kidney and spleen detected damage to target organs in DENV-infected patients but no damage in healthy samples. Quantification analysis revealed the presence of lymphocytes, inflammatory cytokines and chemokines at concentrations many fold higher than ...
When the gonad was pear-shaped, the dorsal side became narrow and stalk-shaped, hanging from the mesentery to the peritoneal epithelium. As it was located on both sides of the body, it would eventually differentiate into the testis. Among carp, Carassius auratus gonads which were characterized...
Well, Onnit investigated the carnivore diet down to the marrow, and found out what happens to your body when you consume animals and nothing else. Here’s our guide to eating meat, bones, and organs for better health. (Spoiler alert: it’s not as crazy as it sounds.) The Carnivore Die...
Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body Origin attachment of a muscle that remains relatively fixed during muscular contraction Insertion The attachment of a muscle tendon to a moveable bone or the end opposite the origin Action Belly The middle part of the muscle Ipsilateral...
Lana’s own favorite song fromLust For Lifefinds her musing on an old ex’s fatal overdose. She ruminates on the dark side of California — the air thick with organs, mellotrons and muted drums — and what drives people to self destruction: “Topanga’s hot today, Manson’s in the air...
About a month ago, I wrote about one of the most important organs in our endocrine system, the adrenals. Inthat article, I showed readers how they can heal their adrenals. According to Adrenal expertsDr. Michael LamandDr. Josh Axe, 50 to 80% of the U.S. population have adrenal issue...
