The medulla oblongata and the pons are the circulatory centers of the brain and constantly receive information on blood pressure and gas composition. From this, if necessary, measures to regulate the circulatory system are initiated, which is the central point

The genotype is the totality of all genes in the cell nucleus. Based on their arrangement, processes in the body are initiated and body compartments such as organs and external features are formed. The causes of many diseases are also hidden in the genotype

Opsonization is a process of the immune system. Antibodies or proteins of the complement system bind to cells foreign to the body and mark them so that the phagocytes can find them. A lack of opsonization amounts to a weak immune system

The term contraction (Latin contrahere = to contract) describes the process in which a muscle either shortens or increases its tension. There are different types of contractions with different functional significance

The swallowing reflex is an alien reflex of the human body that enables us to take in food and fluids. The process is also known as the act of swallowing. The process is very complex and necessary for our survival.

Remineralization is the re-storage of minerals in hard tissue such as teeth or bones. Hard tissue demineralizes through acidification and thus becomes brittle. In the mouth, saliva is responsible for remineralization

The inflow of air into the lungs and outflow of air out of the lungs are summarized under the term ventilation. The ventilation is used for gas exchange in the lungs, the alveoli release and take molecular oxygen into the blood

The innervation connects organs, tissues and body parts to the nervous system and thus enables the complex interaction within the body. Electrical and biochemical stimuli are transmitted via the nerve cells and nerve fibers. An injury

A motor act is a result of an interaction between cognitive, motor and sensory processes. Arbitrary actions, in turn, arise schematically from a completed motor sequence. If a person z. Legs

The ulnar abduction is a spreading of the fingers or hand towards the ulna and thus the opposite of the radial abduction towards the ulna. Radial and ulnar abduction take place in the proximal wrist and are performed by various muscles of the hand

Radial abduction is a flexion of the hand or finger in the direction of the spoke, as performed by five hand muscles in the proximal wrist. The range for movement to the thumb side is up to 20 degrees. For muscle diseases can

As part of the gait cycle, the standing leg phase is an important component of locomotion. Impairments can significantly reduce the quality of life.

Jumping is a form of locomotion that has many forms. It occurs in everyday life, but is also part of many sports.

The term extension is used in anatomical nomenclature to describe movement. It describes one of the main movements of the human body.

The maximum force is the highest possible force that an organism can muster against a resistance. It is influenced by internal factors such as muscle composition and external factors such as the time of day. With structural changes

The level of arousal corresponds to the level of activation of the central nervous system (CNS) and is associated with alertness, alertness and readiness to react. A medium level of excitement is the basis for maximum performance. If permanently negative

In medicine, remyelination describes a process by which the body partially restores the insulating myelin layer that normally surrounds nerve fibers (axons). Often the remyelination does not succeed completely, so that permanent

Cell metabolism is the basis of all vital and biochemical processes in the body that take place inside and outside a cell. Everything that the body absorbs has to be processed and transformed, and finally broken down

Nerve conductivity is the ability of nerve fibers to transmit bioelectrical impulses in both directions at a certain speed. The forwarding takes place via action potentials in the severability stimulus line

The reflex arc is the shortest neural connection between receptors and target organs and triggers a body reflex. The input is via the afferent limb of the arch, while the output takes place via the efferent limb. Changes
