Biology
Finger like projections that extend out of the small intestine in order to increase surface area for max absorption
Villi
In jungian psychoanalysis, the part of the unconscious that is shared among all humans and is a result of our common ancestry
Collective unconscious
A vector describing change in velocity over time in which change occurs = change in velocity/change in time
Acceleration
Velocity or rate, measure of catalytic activity; measured as v(max) and may be analyzed after protein isolation
Activity
Variable that depends on the current state of the system and not the path taken to get there. Includes pressure, density, temp., vol., enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy and entropy
State function
Connects the vasculature of the fetus to the placenta
Umbilical cord
A sudden increase in response to a stimulus, usually dues to a change in the stimulus or addition of another stim. Sometimes called resensitization
Dishabituation
Unit: farad (F)
Capacitance
Subtype of diastereomers that differ in absolute configuration at exactly one chiral carbon
Epimers
The process of forming a cagelike network of solvent molecules around a solute in a solution
Solvation
One of the 12 cranial nerves that provides parasympathtic signaling to the thoracic and abdominal cavities
Vagus nerve
The tendency for a group to make decisions based on ideas within, without considering outside ideas and ethics, based on pressure to conform and remain loyal to the group
Groupthink
Electric device used in circuits composed of two conducting plates separated by a short distance; these devices store electric charge
Capacitor
Enzymes that change conformations as a result of interactions at sites other than the active allosteric site. Conformational changes may increase or decrease enzyme activity
Allosteric enzymes
Product of molar concentrations of dissociated ions in a saturated solution where each ion is raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. Denoted K (sp)
Solubility product constant
Vessels that carry blood to the heart. Thin walled and have valves to prevent backflow
Veins
the number of cases of a disease per population in a given time period; cases/1000 people per year
Prevalence
The point on some object or body where all of its mass is considered to be concentrated. AKA center of gravity
Center of mass
Production of multiple different but related mRNA molecules from a single primary transcript of hnRNA
Alternative splicing
A measure of the tendency of a species to be reduce, commonly used in identifying the anode and cathode of an electrochemical cell
Reduction potential
Muscular lower chambers of the heart. Right one pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries while the left one pumps oxygenated blood through out the body
Ventricles
A portion of the cerebral cortex that controls motor processing, executive function, and integration of cognitive and behavioral processes
Frontal lobe
Form of heat transfer where energy is transferred by mollecular collisions or direct contact between two objects
Conduction
Metabolic processes that result in the consumption of energy and the synthesis of molecules
Anabolism
A species that is oxidized in the process of reducing another species
Reducing agent
