  2. G banding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_banding

    This numbering system allows any band on the chromosome to be identified and described precisely. [4] The reverse of G‑bands is obtained in R‑banding . Staining with Giemsa confers a purple color to chromosomes, but micrographs are often converted to grayscale to facilitate data presentation and make comparisons of results from different ...

  3. Band cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_cell

    A band cell (also called band neutrophil, band form or stab cell) is a cell undergoing granulopoiesis, derived from a metamyelocyte, and leading to a mature granulocyte. It is characterized by having a curved but not lobular nucleus. [1] The term "band cell" implies a granulocytic lineage (e.g., neutrophils). [2]

  4. Locus (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)

    For example, the locus of gene OCA1 may be written "11q1.4-q2.1", meaning it is on the long arm of chromosome 11, somewhere in the range from sub-band 4 of region 1 to sub-band 1 of region 2. [citation needed] The ends of a chromosome are labeled "pter" and "qter", and so "2qter" refers to the terminus of the long arm of chromosome 2. [citation ...

  5. Oligoclonal band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligoclonal_band

    [2] For the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, a sample is first collected via lumbar puncture (LP). Normally it is assumed that all the proteins that appear in the CSF, but are not present in the serum, are produced intrathecally (inside the central nervous system). Therefore, it is normal to subtract bands in serum from bands in CSF when ...

  6. Biological system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_system

    On the organ and tissue scale in mammals and other animals, examples include the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the nervous system. On the micro to the nanoscopic scale, examples of biological systems are cells, organelles, macromolecular complexes and regulatory pathways.

  7. Isotropic bands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_bands

    The thin filaments are placed between 2 myosin filaments and contain only the actin filaments of neighboring sarcomeres. Bisecting the I band and serving as an anchoring point for the two adjacent actin filaments is the Z disc. During muscle contraction, the I band will shorten, while an A band will maintain its width. [2]

  8. MAPK/ERK pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPK/ERK_pathway

    The signal that starts the MAPK/ERK pathway is the binding of extracellular mitogen to a cell surface receptor.This allows a Ras protein (a Small GTPase) to swap a GDP molecule for a GTP molecule, flipping the "on/off switch" of the pathway.

  9. Protein filament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_filament

    The A band is the part of the actin that will bind to the myosin during muscle contraction. The I band is the part of the actin that is not bound to the myosin, but it will still move during muscle contraction. The H zone is the space in between two adjacent actin that will shrink when the muscle begins to contract.
