A reflex is an involuntary, automatic reaction of a body part or organ to a stimulus. A foreign reflex describes a certain type of reflex within it and is also known as a polysynaptic reflex.

The Rossolimo reflex is a plantar muscle reflex of the foot that is triggered under pathological conditions. It represents an uncertain pyramidal trajectory sign and indicates lesions in the pyramidal trajectory.

All impressions, ideas, desires, actions and memories that are currently not active are stored in our subconscious. The subconscious is different from the unconscious. These are body processes that we don't think about

The mind is the sum of all internal processes of thinking, perception and feeling. It is related to the concept of consciousness and enables cognitive processes such as thinking, planning, problem solving, making decisions, choosing or

Platelet adhesion is part of hemostasis in which platelets attach to collagen. This step activates the platelets.

The juvenile phase describes the phase of a living being after birth and before sexual maturity. After that they are considered adult (adolescence), before that they are in the embryonic stage. In humans, the juvenile phase goes from childhood to fr

Everyone knows the feeling of being in love. If this infatuation continues in a relationship, after a while it develops into a basic understanding of one's own feelings and those of the other. Being in love develops into love.

Socialization is the continuous adaptation to patterns of feeling and thinking within social communities. According to the socialization theory, humans are only able to survive through socialization. Socialization problems can therefore be psychological and psychosomatic

Miosis is the constriction of the pupils on both sides when exposed to light or in the context of near fixation. If a miosis is present without a light stimulus and independent of the near fixation, this phenomenon has disease value. Intoxications come as well

All life comes from the sea. Therefore there are conditions in the body that build on these original living conditions. This means that vital building blocks in the organism are salts. They enable all physiological processes and are part of it

The resting potential is the voltage difference of -70 mV that exists between the interior and the environment of neurons in the non-excited state. The potential is relevant for the formation of action potentials. Cyanide poisoning prevents recovery

Hyperpolarization is a biological process in which the membrane tension increases and exceeds the resting value. This mechanism is important for the function of muscle, nerve and sensory cells in the human body. Actions are possible through him

Repolarization is the regression of excitation in a cell that has previously built up an action potential through a stimulus. The resting membrane potential of the cell is restored.

The saltatory conduction of excitation ensures that the conduction speed of nerve tracts is sufficiently fast for vertebrates. Action potentials jump from one unisolated ring to the next on the isolated axons. For demyelinating diseases

The membrane permeability characterizes the permeability of molecules through the cell membrane. All cells are separated from the intercellular space by biomembranes and at the same time contain cell organelles that are in turn surrounded by membranes

All processes of the intercellular mass transfer via the endomembrane system are summarized as membrane flow. These include, above all, endocytosis, exocytosis and transcytosis, the cells reduce the absorption and release of substances by shifting the membrane

Passive mass transport is the diffusion of substrates through a biomembrane. This diffusion takes place along the concentration gradient and does not require any energy. The diffusion process can, for example, be disturbed in the intestines of HIV patients

Hydrolysis is the splitting of a chemical compound into smaller molecules with the absorption of water. Hydrolyses play an important role in the inorganic area as well as in biology. In living organisms the hydrolytic takes place

Growth differs from person to person and the increase in body length is continuous. Many factors play a role in growing. The growth can be divided into three phases. People do not always grow in a species-appropriate manner

In biology, the process of transcription includes the process of replicating a section of a DNA strand into a messenger RNA strand (mRNA). The mRNA then contains the nucleic base sequence which is complementary to the part of the DNA. The then
