The biting force of humans seems to be almost effeminate these days. That could at least be assumed if one takes a look at the modern eating habits, which seem to be strongly opposed to those of the past

In medicine, the term mobility is mostly associated with the joints of the body. The degree of mobility for joints is given by the neutral-zero method. Joint stiffness can be documented in this way.

The assessment shapes the perception as both an unconscious and a conscious process. This natural part of the perception is relevant, for example, as a filter function and thus the cause of the selectivity of the perception process. A

The opposition is a movement of the thumb to face the other fingers of the hand. Movement is an important part of all grasping movements and is not only human, but also animals such as primates and birds

Viscoelasticity combines the elastic properties of substances and the viscous properties of fluids and is found in the human body, in addition to the blood, primarily in the soft tissues. In the blood it increases in the context of hyperviscosity

The first years of humans are characterized by growth spurts, which mainly extend to the period between birth and the age of eight. During these relapses, the child makes significant developmental steps.

The sense of movement is part of the interoceptive and kinaesthetic depth sensitivity, which gives the brain permanent feedback on the extent of movements. Proprioceptors in muscles, tendons, bones and joints are responsible for the perception of movement

Consciousness is determined by complex neurophysiological processes in an individual. To this day it is difficult to explain the causes of conscious perception of the world. Disorders of consciousness manifest themselves in a variety of psychological diseases

Bioprinters are a special type of 3D printer. On the basis of computer-controlled tissue engineering, they can produce tissues or bioarrays. In the future, it should be possible with their help to produce organs and artificial living beings

Like most living beings, humans are also subject to a biorhythm that represents a kind of internal clock and ensured survival in the course of evolution. A comparatively young scientific discipline is dealing with these influences

Biotransformation is a process in the metabolism in which substances that cannot be excreted are converted into excretable products with the help of chemical processes.

The bite position provides information about the sagittal positional relationship between the lower jaw and the upper jaw. With a neutral bite position, both jaws are in the correct relation to one another.

The biceps tendon reflex is an innate and monosynaptic self reflex that belongs to the stretch reflexes. Reflectively, the biceps muscle contracts after a blow on the biceps tendon and thus flexes the forearm in the elbow joint. At peripheral

Blastogenesis is the 16 day early development of the fertilized female egg, the zygote, up to the blastocyst. During blastogenesis, the cells that were still omnipotent at the time divide continuously and experience towards the end

The rupture of the bladder describes the rupture of the amniotic sac and the associated discharge of the amniotic fluid. It is often the first sign that the baby is about to be born.

The blood-eye barrier consists of the blood-retina and the blood-aqueous humor barrier and corresponds to a physiological barrier for the defense against pathogens and the maintenance of biochemically different milieus. Blood retina disorders

Blastulation is the development of a fluid-filled cell sphere, the blastocyst or blastula (lat. Germinal vesicle) during embryonic development. The implantation of the blastocyst in the uterine lining marks the actual

The movement of blood in the body's circulation is understood as blood flow. The blood flow is influenced by various conditions in the body.

The blood contact time is the time in which blood circulates in the small blood vessels in the lungs and in which the diffusion of respiratory gases takes place. Therefore, the blood contact time has an important influence on the oxygen content in the blood.

Blood coagulation describes the chemical change in the blood from a liquid to a solid state. This is primarily used to close the wound, but blood clotting can also occur in other parts of the body.
