In physiology, splay is the difference between urine threshold (the amount of a substance required in the kidneys before it appears in the urine) and saturation, or T M, where saturation is the exhausted supply of renal reabsorption carriers.
Book of Optics (c. 1000) - Exerted great influence on Western science. [16] It was translated into Latin and it was used until the early 17th century.

Samson Wright (5 July 1899 - 10 March 1956) was a British medical physiologist who is mentioned as "undoubtedly the greatest teacher of physiology of his generation and author of the world famous textbook Applied Physiology" in his biographical memoir published at his birth centenary in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
The fourth edition reviewer noted that “all other related books seem to pale by comparison”. [6] The 6th edition published in 1980 was praised for the extensive bibliography, but also noted that, although “this book is recommended to all those who prescribe drugs”, it had become “too large to be used by medical students as a routine ...
In physiology, transport maximum (alternatively Tm or T max) refers to the point at which increase in concentration of a substance does not result in an increase in movement of a substance across a cell membrane. In renal physiology, the concept of transport maximum is often discussed in the context of glucose and PAH. [citation needed]
