The effects are widespread and can affect anything from muscle growth to aerobic stamina to diabetes and other metabolic disorders. [35] In general, even a small amount of exercise can induce hypomethylation of the whole genome within muscle cells. This means that many regulatory genes can be turned on for pathways like muscle repair and growth.
A celery rib is one of the individual stems that make up the larger bunch of celery, or "stalk." In botanical terms, a rib is a single segment of the plant, and in culinary usage, it is the part ...
Cross section of celery stalk, showing vascular bundles, which include both phloem and xylem Detail of the vasculature of a bramble leaf Translocation in vascular plants. Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem ...
Celery stalking or celery stalk metaphysis refers to the appearance of longitudinally aligned linear sclerotic bands extending from the epiphysis of the long bones. [1] This finding is seen in conditions such as osteopathia striata , congenital rubella [ 2 ] and congenital syphilis .
Phenotypic plasticity refers to some of the changes in an organism's behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment. [1] [2] Fundamental to the way in which organisms cope with environmental variation, phenotypic plasticity encompasses all types of environmentally induced changes (e.g. morphological, physiological, behavioural, phenological) that may or may not be ...
Growth mostly occurs through cell proliferation but also through changes in cell size or the deposition of extracellular materials. The development of plants involves similar processes to that of animals. However, plant cells are mostly immotile so morphogenesis is achieved by differential growth, without cell movements.
Thigmomorphogenesis (from Ancient Greek θιγγάνω (thingánō) to touch, μορφή (morphê) shape, and γένεσις (génesis) creation) the phenomenon by which plants alter their growth and development in response to mechanical stimuli, exemplifies their remarkable adaptability to fluctuating environmental conditions.
Epigenetics of human development is the study of how epigenetics (hertiable characteristics that do not involve changes in DNA sequence) effects human development. Development before birth, including gametogenesis , embryogenesis , and fetal development , is the process of body development from the gametes are formed to eventually combine into ...
