Push and pull factors in migration according to Everett S. Lee (1917-2007) are categories that demographers use to analyze human migration from former areas to new host locations. Lee's model divides factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull. Push factors are things that are unfavourable about the home area that one ...
For specific types of migration, see Immigration and Emigration. Key population movements worldwide in 2020 between different areas of the world. Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another, [ 1 ] with intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new location (geographic region).
Skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle, or "voluntary muscle", is a striated muscle tissue that primarily joins to bone with tendons. Skeletal muscle enables movement of bones, and maintains posture. [ 1 ] The widest part of a muscle that pulls on the tendons is known as the belly.
Neural crest is a ridge-like structure that is formed transiently between the epidermal ectoderm and neural plate during vertebrate development. The neural crest cells originate from this structure through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and in turn give rise to a diverse cell lineage—including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, dentin, peripheral and enteric ...
Step migration. Step migration is a migration pattern conceptualized in 1885 by Ernst Georg Ravenstein, who observed migration as occurring stage by stage as rural inhabitants move closer to urban areas of growth. [ 1 ] It is a migration pattern regarded by some scholars to be a widely popular form of international migration in the twenty-first ...
The migration of cultured cells attached to a surface or in 3D is commonly studied using microscopy. [7] [8] [5] As cell movement is very slow, a few μm/minute, time-lapse microscopy videos are recorded of the migrating cells to speed up the movement. Such videos (Figure 1) reveal that the leading cell front is very active, with a ...
Alpha (α) motor neurons (also called alpha motoneurons), are large, multipolar lower motor neurons of the brainstem and spinal cord. They innervate extrafusal muscle fibers of skeletal muscle and are directly responsible for initiating their contraction. Alpha motor neurons are distinct from gamma motor neurons, which innervate intrafusal ...
International migration occurs when people cross state boundaries and stay in the host state for some minimum length of the time. [1] Migration occurs for many reasons. Many people leave their home countries in order to look for economic opportunities in another country. Others migrate to be with family members who have migrated or because of ...
