This chapter describes the anatomical layers in order from the outer surface of the eye to the inner core. It addresses the anatomical terms used in ophthalmology and shows the anatomy of retinal layers. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) provides physiological support to the overlying neuro...

the body's "slow" chemical communication system; a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream Somatic Actions you control Sympathetic System the division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations ...
Answer to: Compare and contrast the basic structural anatomy of skeletal muscles and nerves. By signing up, you'll get thousands of step-by-step...
Nerve anatomy and physiology Nerves rapidly transmit electrical signals to and from the central nervous system. Myelinated fibres conduct faster because the action potential jumps between nodes of Ranvier. Myelinated A fibres are categorised into four groups that have separate functions: Aα fibres ...
Despite difference in the anatomy or functions of neuronal circuits containing inhibition, two basic motifs repeatedly emerge: feed-forward and feedback. In the locust, it was proposed that a subset of lateral horn interneurons (LHNs), provide feed-forward inhibition onto Kenyon cells (KCs) to ...
“disease-in-a-dish” models. This technology may enable personalized disease modeling that will become an important part of precision medicine. Furthermore, the development of clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 endonuclease7,8,9enabled the creation of genetically ...
Current treatment is surgical resection of the bowel to remove or bypass regions where the ENS is missing, but many children have problems after surgery. Although the anatomy of Hirschsprung disease is simple, many clinical features remain enigmatic, and diagnosis and management remain challenging. ...
