  3. Microcirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcirculation

    The microcirculation has three major components: pre-capillary, capillary, and post-capillary. In the pre-capillary sector, arterioles, and precapillary sphincters participate. Their function is to regulate blood flow before it enters the capillaries and venules by the contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle found on their walls.

  4. Extracellular fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_fluid

    The ECF can also be seen as having two components – plasma and lymph as a delivery system, and interstitial fluid for water and solute exchange with the cells. [ 6 ] The extracellular fluid, in particular the interstitial fluid, constitutes the body's internal environment that bathes all of the cells in the body.

  5. Digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestion

    Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food compounds into small water-soluble components so that they can be absorbed into the blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

  6. Photoplethysmogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmogram

    Because blood flow to the skin can be modulated by multiple other physiological systems, the PPG can also be used to monitor breathing, hypovolemia, and other circulatory conditions. [5] Additionally, the shape of the PPG waveform differs from subject to subject, and varies with the location and manner in which the pulse oximeter is attached.

  7. Fluid balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_balance

    Euvolemia is the state of normal body fluid volume, including blood volume, interstitial fluid volume, and intracellular fluid volume; hypovolemia and hypervolemia are imbalances. Water is necessary for all life on Earth. Humans can survive for 4 to 6 weeks without food but only for a few days without water.

  8. Food microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_microbiology

    Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food.This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage; pathogens that may cause disease (especially if food is improperly cooked or stored); microbes used to produce fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine; and microbes with other useful roles, such as producing ...

  9. Chylomicron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chylomicron

    Chylomicron structure ApoA, ApoB, ApoC, ApoE (apolipoproteins); T (triacylglycerol); C (cholesterol); green (phospholipids). Chylomicrons transport lipids absorbed from the intestine to adipose, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissue, where their triglyceride components are hydrolyzed by the activity of the lipoprotein lipase, allowing the released free fatty acids to be absorbed by the tissues.
