Anatomy III- Brain Component
The superior sagittal sinus is found within this meningeal fold.
What is the Falx cerebri?
The exit through which the spinal nerves leave the vertebral column.
What is the intervertebral foramen?
DNA wrapped around a histone.
What is a nucleosome?
Through the use of annular rings in the condenser and the objective lens, the differences in phase are amplified so that in-phase light appears brighter than out-of-phase light.
What is phase-contrast microscopy?
These include circulating cells called monocytes, which become macrophages when they migrate into tissues, and tissue resident macrophages, which are derived mostly from hematopoietic precursors during fetal life
What is the mononuclear phagocyte system?
This artery supplies the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain.
What is the anterior cerebral artery?
The only nerve that emerges from the posterior aspect of the midbrain.
What is the trochlear nerve?
Regulates the translation of target mRNAs
What is miRNA?
A germicide that kills most vegetative bacteria and lipid-enveloped and medium-size viruses
What is a Low-level disinfectant?
These cells are activated by microbial substances to secrete several different cytokines that act on endothelial cells lining blood vessels to enhance the recruitment of more monocytes and other leukocytes from the blood into sites of infections, thereby amplifying the protective response against the microbes.
What are macrophages?
This lobe of the brain contains the primary motor cortex.
What is the frontal lobe?
This structure forms the posterior border of the anterior mediastinum.
What is the pericardium?
Site of protein synthesis.
What is the RER?
A community of microbes that live in and on an individual; can vary substantially between environmental sites and host niches in health and disease
What are Microbiota?
They are a large family of structurally homologous cytokines that stimulate leukocyte movement and regulate the migration of leukocytes from the blood to tissues.
What are chemokines?
This substance is produced by the pineal gland and is important for regulating the circadian rhythm.
What is melatonin?
The only muscle of the urinary bladder that undergoes relaxation during the storage of urine.
What is the detrusor muscle?
Organelle where fatty acids are degraded
What are peroxisomes?
This is an isothermal amplification method for detection of specific RNA and DNA sequences. The double-strand DNA target (or DNA-RNA hybrid) is denatured and then hybridized to two pairs of primers.
What is Strand Displacement Amplification?
The exit of these cells from lymph nodes is dependent on a lipid chemoattractant called sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), which binds to a GPCR family receptor on T cells called sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1)
What are naive T cells?
Damage to these areas of the spinal cord can result in sensory ataxia and a positive Romberg’s sign.
What are dorsal columns?
This muscle in the back is the only one supplied by the eleventh cranial nerve.
What is the trapezius muscle?
Organelle where proteins are assembled
What is the Golgi complex?
In this method, a fluorescent molecule is covalently attached to the antibody (e.g., fluorescein-isothiocyanate [FITC]-labeled rabbit antiviral antibody)
What is direct immunofluorescence?
They are an evolutionarily conserved family of pattern recognition receptors expressed on many cell types that recognize products of a wide variety of microbes, as well as molecules expressed or released by stressed and dying cells.
What are Toll-like receptors (TLRs)?
