    TRPV1 is an element of or mechanism used by the mammalian somatosensory system. [12] It is a nonselective cation channel that may be activated by a wide variety of exogenous and endogenous physical and chemical stimuli.

  4. Vanilloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilloid

    This action is responsible for the burning sensation experienced after eating spicy peppers. Endogenously generated chemicals that trigger the TRPV1 channel of the vanilloids class are referred to as endovanilloids [ 2 ] including anandamide , 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), [ 3 ] N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) and N-oleoyl-dopamine ...

  5. Vanilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla

    The vegetative tissue of the vanilla pod is killed to stop the vegetative growth of the pods and disrupt the cells and tissue of the fruits, which initiates enzymatic reactions responsible for the aroma. The method of killing varies, but may be accomplished by heating in hot water, freezing, or scratching, or killing by heating in an oven or ...

  6. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    More specifically, eukaryotic cells use endocytosis of the uptake of nutrients, down regulation of growth factor receptors’ and as a mass regulator of the signaling circuit. This method of transport is largely intercellular in lieu of uptake of large particles such as bacteria via phagocytosis in which a cell engulfs a solid particle to form ...

  7. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    Haematopoietic stem cells that give rise to all the blood cells develop from the mesoderm. The development of blood formation takes place in clusters of blood cells, known as blood islands, in the yolk sac. Blood islands develop outside the embryo, on the umbilical vesicle, allantois, connecting stalk, and chorion, from mesodermal hemangioblasts.

  9. Glycocalyx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycocalyx

    The glycocalyx is a type of identifier that the body uses to distinguish between its own healthy cells and transplanted tissues, diseased cells, or invading organisms. Included in the glycocalyx are cell-adhesion molecules that enable cells to adhere to each other and guide the movement of cells during embryonic development. [ 3 ]
