Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System
1,688 words... ws the cross-bridge to detach and re-attach to another active site on an actin molecule. This contraction cycle is repeated as long as free calcium is available to bind the troponin and ATP is available to provide the energy. The signal to stop contraction is the absence of the nerve impulse at the neuromuscular junction. When this occurs, an energy requiring calcium pump located within the sarcoplasmic reticulum begins to move the calcium back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This removal o...

Outer Ear Middle Ear
691 wordsThe Ear is one of the five sense organs. It allows us to hear. Hearing is one of our most important senses. Speech development depends on hearing. Without hearing, our speech would not sound right. Children learn to talk by copying what other people say. Hearing is not a simple process. Movement causes sounds, so there are lots of things to hear. Sounds travel in waves. The waves enter the ear, and the brain interprets the sound signals as sounds. Surprisingly, the ear also helps us balance. The...

Permeable Membrane Cell Membrane
661 wordsDiffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion results because of the random movement of particles. The diffusion of water into and out of a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Because of the selectively permeable membrane, nothing but water and other very small particles can be diffused through osmosis. The cell membrane is similar to the membrane mentioned above, so the cell would lose water because of osmo...

3,530 wordsINTRODUCTION There is no doubt that AIDS is indeed the epidemic of the decade. Not only are there many supporting facts and data, visiting urban cities and third world countries prove this point. Furthermore, AIDS is not only highly infectious, it is also the first major incurable epidemic throughout this biomedical revolution that mankind is going through. This epidemic might actually be the one that will completely wipeout the third world. Scientists, government agencies and pharmaceutical com...

Cell Membrane Electron Transport Chain Biochemical Pathway
684 words1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface, and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double, so at the tip of the fatty acid tails, there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to the cell: if...

Shown In Figure Neuromuscular Junction
1,660 wordsProteins involved in formation of the neuromuscular junction The neuromuscular junction is a specialized junction, where a motor nerve forms its synaptic terminal with a muscle fibre, one of many fibres that make up a whole muscle. The mature neuromuscular junction is composed of three types of cells - a motor nerve terminal, a muscle fibre and a Schwann cell covering the junction. All three of these cells are highly differentiated and specialized for their functions (Kandel 2000, p. 1089). The ...

Permeable Membrane Semi Permeable
781 wordsOsmosis is the flow of water through a semi permeable membrane that blocks the transport of salts or other solutes through it. It is also defined as the net movement of water from an area of high concentration to a region of low concentration. Osmosis is a fundamental effect in all biological systems. When two water volumes are separated by a semi permeable membrane water will flow from the side of low solute concentration to the side of high solute concentration. If external pressure is applied...

Gram Positive And Negative Bacteria
828 wordsGram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria It is a well-known fact that bacterial cells, like plant cells, are surrounded by a cell wall. However, few people know that their cell walls are quite different. Bacterial cell walls are made up of polysaccharide chains linked to amino acids. At the same time, plant cell walls are made up of cellulose, which contains no amino acids. In the same way, bacterial cell walls themselves differ from one another. Scientists distinguish two types of bacteria cell...

Plasma Membrane Alzheimer Disease
950 wordsLipid Rafts A lipid raft is a micro domain within the membranes of cells that is cholesterol-rich. It has been believed since 1972 that, in cell membranes, membrane proteins and phospholipids are constantly and widely distributed as following a fluid mosaic model. Then in 1988, a scientist named Kai Simmons, who worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory located in Germany, suggested the notion that there exist micro domains, which are enriched with a lot of different kinds of lipids, s...

Desalination Plants Sea Water
1,236 wordsPurification of Sea Water In the late 20 th century, more than 8, 000, 000 cubic m (2, 112, 000, 000 gallons) of fresh water were produced each day by several thousand desalination plants throughout the world. Distillation processes are used in about half of all the plants and account for roughly three-quarters of the worlds desalted water. Most of the other plants employ membrane processes. The worlds desalination capacity expanded rapidly during the 1970 s and 80 s as the oil-rich countries of...

Spindle Fibers Cell Membrane
592 wordsThe life Process of a cell In my report you will learn about the life process of a cell based on the two main functions, metabolism and mitosis. You will learn about the four stages of metabolism: ingestion, digestion, respiration, and excretion, and how the cell completes them. You also will acquire information about the four stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telephone, and how the cell completes them. Mitosis is the process in which cells reproduce. These two processes are ...

This is a type of microscope that makes use of a beam of electrons rather than visible light. Because the wavelength of electrons is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, an electron microscope not only gives a high magnification but it also has high resolution. This means that details can be seen clearly. An electron mic...

Fight Or Flight Sleep Paralysis
1,937 wordsFear-Induced Hallucination: How Sleep Paralysis Triggers Hallucination I researched the web to find out how hallucination starts during an episode of Sleep Paralysis. As I have written in my previous paper, a Sleep Paralysis, although often believed as an evils work, results from some errors of the neural transmission in the brain during REM sleep (1). During a frightening state of Sleep Paralysis, one experiences total body immobility and cannot speak or move besides little eye movements and re...

3,525 wordsTheHheart Biology Histology The Human Heart. Abstract: Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary defines the heart as the viscus of cardiac muscle that maintains the circulation of the blood. It is divided into four cavities; two atria and two ventricles. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. From there the blood passes to the left ventricle, which forces it via the aorta, through the arteries to supply the tissues of the body. The right atrium receives the blood after it has p...

Mitosis, the division of a cell resulting in two identical daughter cells, prolongs an organism s life by replacing old, dead, and damaged cells. In complex animals and plants, mitosis occurs everywhere, except sex cells. Meiosis evolved in complex plants and animals to increase variation in offspring and to maintain the number of chromosomes from generation to generation. Meiosis occurs in the sex cells of organisms, specifica...

Permeable Membrane Semi Permeable
274 wordsOsmosis, in botany and chemistry, the flow of one constituent of a solution through a membrane while the other constituents are blocked and unable to pass through the membrane. Experimentation is necessary to determine which membranes permit selective flow, or osmosis, because not all membranes act in this way. Many membranes allow all or none of the constituents of a solution to pass through; only a few allow a selective flow. In a classic demonstration of osmosis, a vertical tube containing a ...
