What is the purpose of the cartilage rings of the trachea? What is the purpose of the sternum and ribcage in the pig? What are the components of fibrous connective tissue and explain its function/importance. What is the function of cartilage within a joint?
Microglia, the brain's tissue resident parenchymal macrophages, are described as becoming "activated" as they deftly change their production of different inflammatory mediators, alter the surveillance behavior of their cellular protrusions, and differentially influence the function of astrocytes. For their...

What are venules and what is their function? Circulatory System: The circulatory system is a body system that is composed of the heart and various arteries, capillaries, and veins which are responsible for moving blood across the whole organism body. ...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and is released not only from neurons but also from glial cells, including astrocytes and oligodendrocyte precursor cells. In general, GABA released by exocytosis from presynaptic terminals elicits fast inhibition in mo...
While the brainstem is important in maintaining body function, the cerebrum allows body motion and most importantly, is responsible for all the things that make humans special, like thinking and emotion. There are four lobes in each hemisphere: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. ...
Evidence has emerged from experimental models of glial communication that microglia and astrocytes influence and coordinate each other and their effects on the brain environment. However, due to the difference in glial cells between humans and rodents, it is essential to confirm the relevance of ...
What is the function of the mRNA? RNA RNA is short for ribonucleic acid, which is a polymer that consists of nucleotides that have a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. RNA in all life tends to be single-stranded, and less stable than DNA counterparts. ...
