Muscle activity and the resulting movements of hollow organs are called peristalsis. The intestinal peristalsis primarily serves to mix the chyme and its forwarding towards the rectum or anus. Partly will

The term homeostasis comes from the Greek and means equality. It describes a process that serves to maintain a balance within dynamic systems. The internal milieu is maintained in the human body through homeostasis

Decarboxylation generally represents the splitting off of carbon dioxide from an organic acid. In the case of carboxylic acids, the splitting off takes place very well through heating and enzymatic reactions. Oxidative decarboxylation plays a particularly important role

Thumb sucking or sucking is an innate human reflex that is completely normal in infancy. However, if the behavior does not stop on its own in older children, this can become problematic. The thumb sucking must be considered here

If unwanted hair sprouts on a woman's face, the so-called lady's beard, it is an unpleasant phenomenon and one of the taboo subjects in our society.

During degranulation, vesicles that are located in a cell connect with the cell membrane and thus release more secretions. This process is used, among other things, by the immune system to fight pathogens with these secretions. St.

In the stretch-shortening cycle (DVZ), an eccentric stretching of a muscle is followed by a concentric contraction of the same muscle, which is energy-saving and uses the kinetic energy from the stretching. The DVZ plays an important role

The stretching reflex is understood to be the self-reflex in which stretching the muscle leads to its contraction in order to either maintain or change the muscle length. The stretch reflex is based on a monosynaptic reflex arc and

Minerals are vital for the human organism. They contribute to the optimal flow of many biochemical processes in the body. However, through demineralization, the body loses important minerals, causing diseases

Embryogenic delamination corresponds to a process in which the cells of the blastula constrict the cells of the future endoderm into the blastocoel. Delamination is a step in gastrulation and is related to cotyledonous formation

Demyelination is the loss or damage of myelin in the nervous system. Myelin plays an important role in the transmission of neural signals as it electrically isolates the nerve fibers (axons). Because of this, it leads to demyelination

During denaturation, biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids lose their biological activity due to structural changes. However, the primary structure of the biomolecules is retained. There are both necessary and harmful processes of denaturation in the body

Thinking is the term used to describe processes in the brain that lead to knowledge from which various actions are derived. Thinking serves to solve problems and is composed of ideas, memories and logical conclusions.

The formation of dentin is called dentinogenesis. Dentin is also called dentin. It is a product of the odontoblasts.

Depolarization is the removal of the charge differences on the two membrane sides of a nerve or muscle cell. The membrane potential changes to a less negative one. In diseases such as epilepsy, the depolarization behavior changes

In desmal ossification, embryonic connective tissue is converted into bone. In comparison to chondral ossification, there is direct bone formation here. In particular, the skull, facial skull and cranium develop through desmal ossification

Deoxygenation is the dissociation of oxygen molecules from hemoglobin molecules in human blood. The oxygen supply to the body is based on a cycle of oxygenation and deoxygenation. With phenomena such as smoke inhalation

The medical term blood pressure refers to the pressure that the blood exerts on the blood vessels. However, the pressure conditions are by no means identical in all areas of the blood circulation. The is where the blood flows to the heart

Determination is a step in cell differentiation and thus contributes to the specialization of tissues. The process sets a development program for subsequent cells and deprives omnipotent cells the ability to generate different ones

Intercalation is the storage of particles such as molecules or ions in certain chemical compounds such as crystal lattices. In biochemistry, the term is associated with the intercalation of particles between neighboring base pairs of DNA
