  2. Neuroeffector junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroeffector_junction

    This is n = [ln(0.5)/ln(0.981)]/4, or n≈9. If the density of varicosities is around 2.2 per 1000 μm 3, this number of varicosities should occur within an average range (radius) of about 10 μm (noting that within such a radius there is a tissue volume of about 4200 μm 3). Therefore, even in the presence of highly intermittent noradrenaline ...

  3. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    It can affect any bone, and for in about half of affected people, multiple sites are damaged. [5] Avascular necrosis most commonly affects the ends of long bones, such as the femur. Other common sites include the humerus (upper arm), [6] [7] knees, [8] [9] shoulders, [6] [7] ankles and the jaw. [10]

  4. Action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_potential

    The muscle action potential lasts roughly 2–4 ms, the absolute refractory period is roughly 1–3 ms, and the conduction velocity along the muscle is roughly 5 m/s. The action potential releases calcium ions that free up the tropomyosin and allow the muscle to contract.

Volume 3 contains Procedure codes: ICD-10: The international standard since about 1998 ICPC-2: Also includes reasons for encounter (RFE), procedure codes and process of care International Classification of Sleep Disorders: NANDA: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Primarily psychiatric disorders

  6. Active zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_zone

    The function of the active zone is to ensure that neurotransmitters can be reliably released in a specific location of a neuron and only released when the neuron fires an action potential. [2] As an action potential propagates down an axon it reaches the axon terminal called the presynaptic bouton. In the presynaptic bouton, the action ...

    Sake is made of Japanese rice, water, yeast and koji (a type of mold). It traditionally takes about two months to make through a series of precise steps that involve steaming, stirring and fermenting.

  9. Dendritic spike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendritic_spike

    Figure B. is a recording of an actual action potential N.B. Actual recordings of action potentials are often distorted compared to the schematic view because of variations in electrophysiological techniques used to make the recording. In neurophysiology, a dendritic spike refers to an action potential generated in the dendrite of a neuron ...
