  2. Human skeletal changes due to bipedalism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skeletal_changes_due...

    Lordosis, which the inward curvature of the spine, is normal for an upright gait as long as it is not too excessive or minimal. If the inward curvature of the spine is not enough, the center of balance would be offset causing the body to essentially tip forward, which is why some apes that have the ability to be bipedal require large amounts of ...

    The G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) are a family of lipid-gated inward-rectifier potassium ion channels which are activated (opened) by the signaling lipid PIP2 and a signal transduction cascade starting with ligand-stimulated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

  8. Caveolin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveolin

    Many functions are ascribed to these domains, ranging from endocytosis and transcytosis to signal transduction. Caveolin-1 has also been shown to play a role in the integrin signaling. The tyrosine phosphorylated form of caveolin-1 colocalizes with focal adhesions , suggesting a role for caveolin-1 in migration .

    That might be an organ, a region in the body, or an anatomical structure. For example, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous systems. Central (from Latin centralis) describes something close to the centre. [33] For example, the great vessels run centrally through the body; many smaller vessels branch from these.
