The pia mater: This layer contains veins and arteries and is found directly atop the brain and spinal cord. Nerves The brain also contains 12 cranial nerves. Each nerve plays a vital role in relaying essential information to the brain. These nerves include: The olfactory nerve: Essential for ...
AmNOS, etc., were revealed by the further IPA analysis. These findings demonstrate for the first time that the brain lipidomes of worker bees are associated with the stable differences in their labors, which help understand the function of brain lipids on the labor-dependent behaviors of honey...
To this end, we performed RT-qPCR analysis of ASAT1–ASAT4 transcription in leaf samples and visualized GFP expression under the ASAT (SlAT2) promoter in type-IV trichome glands. The AS profile of MT-Get was determined using liquid and gas chromatography (LC-MS/MS and GC-MS). A ...
The reduced weight in cerebrospinal fluid allows the blood vessels of the brain to remain open and helps protect the nervous tissue from becoming crushed under its own weight. CSF helps to maintain chemical homeostasis within the central nervous system. It contains ions, nutrients, oxygen, and ...
(i.e. a systolic pressure greater than 140 or diastolic pressure greater than 90) is considered to be hypertension. The most severe form of hypertension is chronic hypertension, which is an asymptomatic “silent” illness. It can lead to alterations in the retinal blood vessels, brain damage,...
– the first is motor nerves which regulate the movements of your body’s muscles, the second is sensory nerves which transmit sensations such as heat, vibration, touch and pain to the brain. The third is the autonomic nerves which regulate the activities of the internal organs and glands. ...
The greater petrosal nerve contains secretomotor fibers for the lacrimal and nasal glands, and perhaps vasodilator fibers for the middle meningeal arteries. It also contains a number of afferent fibers (the cells of origin being in the geniculate ganglion); their distribution and function are ...
A mucous membrane that contains the gastric glandsMucous cells in gastric pits along the membrane secrete mucus to protect the stomach lining from the harshly acidic juices (pH = 2) present in the stomach Chief Cells Found within the gastric glandsSynthesize pepsinogen, which is converted to ...
(c) duodenum (d) liver. Digestive System: The digestive is a complex structure made of gastrointestinal organs along with accessory organs to perform the process of digestion. It contains a series of organs from mouth to anus including events like mastication, g...
Pituitary and the hypothalamus glands are located in the brain. While the hypothalamus gland is responsible for keeping balance or homeostasis in the body, it also senses the balance of fluids and electrolytes. Even when test levels are low, it alerts the pituitary gland which itself is responsib...
