  2. Boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boson

    The name boson was coined by Paul Dirac [3] [4] to commemorate the contribution of Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist. When Bose was a reader (later professor) at the University of Dhaka, Bengal (now in Bangladesh), [5] [6] he and Albert Einstein developed the theory characterising such particles, now known as Bose–Einstein statistics and Bose–Einstein condensate.

  3. Indistinguishable particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indistinguishable_particles

    Note that this "high temperature" approximation does not distinguish between fermions and bosons. The discrepancy in the partition functions of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles was known as far back as the 19th century, before the advent of quantum mechanics. It leads to a difficulty known as the Gibbs paradox.

  4. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    Blood vessels transport blood cells, nutrients, and oxygen to most of the tissues of a body. They also take waste and carbon dioxide away from the tissues. [2] Some tissues such as cartilage, epithelium, and the lens and cornea of the eye are not supplied with blood vessels and are termed avascular.

  5. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Hemodynamics explains the physical laws that govern the flow of blood in the blood vessels. Blood flow ensures the transportation of nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste products, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the body to maintain cell-level metabolism, the regulation of the pH, osmotic pressure and temperature of the whole body, and ...

  6. Bose–Einstein statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_statistics

    For example, two particles may have different momenta, in which case they are distinguishable from each other, yet they can still have the same energy. The value of associated with level is called the "degeneracy" of that energy level. Any number of bosons can occupy the same sublevel.

  7. Fluid compartments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_compartments

    The main intravascular fluid in mammals is blood, a complex mixture with elements of a suspension (blood cells), colloid , and solutes (glucose and ions). The blood represents both the intracellular compartment (the fluid inside the blood cells) and the extracellular compartment (the blood plasma). The average volume of plasma in the average ...

  8. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and from Latin vascula meaning vessels). The circulatory system has two divisions, a systemic circulation or circuit , and a pulmonary circulation or circuit . [ 3 ]

  9. Vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein

    Veins (/ v eɪ n /) are blood vessels in the circulatory system of humans and most other animals that carry blood towards the heart.Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are those of the pulmonary and fetal circulations which carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
