  2. Medullary command nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medullary_command_nucleus

    The medullary command nucleus (MCN), also called the pacemaker nucleus, is a group of nerve cells found in the bodies of weakly electric fish. It controls the function of electrocytes by regulating the frequency of electrical impulses .

  3. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_in_situ...

    FISH, on the other hand, does not require living cells and can be quantified automatically, a computer counts the fluorescent dots present. However, a trained technologist is required to distinguish subtle differences in banding patterns on bent and twisted metaphase chromosomes. FISH can be incorporated into Lab-on-a-chip microfluidic device ...

  4. Gustatory nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustatory_nucleus

    The major difference between the gustatory neural structure of the fish and the rat is that the secondary gustatory nucleus of the fish projects to the interior lobe's lateral lobule of the diencephalon, while in the rat, the secondary gustatory nucleus projects to a specific thalamic area in the ventrobasal complex and to the ventral forebrain ...

  5. Thalamic reticular nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamic_reticular_nucleus

    Its function is modulatory on signals going through the thalamus (and the reticular nucleus). The thalamic reticular nucleus receives massive projections from the external segment of the globus pallidus, thought to play a part in disinhibition of thalamic cells, which is essential for initiation of movement (Parent and Hazrati, 1995).

  6. Fish physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_physiology

    Fish physiology is the scientific study of how the component parts of fish function together in the living fish. [2] It can be contrasted with fish anatomy, which is the study of the form or morphology of fishes. In practice, fish anatomy and physiology complement each other, the former dealing with the structure of a fish, its organs or ...

    Displaced radial cleavage (amphibians, some fish [the lampreys, gars and bowfins) A. Telolecithal (dense yolk throughout most of cell) 1. Bilateral cleavage (cephalopod molluscs) 2. Discoidal cleavage (some fish [the hagfishes, chondrichthyans and most teleosts], sauropsids [reptiles and birds], monotremes) B. Centrolecithal (yolk in center of egg)

  9. Fish anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_anatomy

    The liver is a large vital organ present in all fish. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. It is very susceptible to contamination by organic and inorganic compounds because they can accumulate over time and cause potentially life-threatening ...
