  2. Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-regulated...

    Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein is a plasticity protein that in humans is encoded by the ARC gene. The gene is believed to derive from a retrotransposon . [ 5 ] The protein is found in the neurons of tetrapods and other animals where it can form virus-like capsids that transport RNA between neurons.

    Bezold-Jarisch reflex — involves a variety of cardiovascular and neurological processes which cause hypopnea and bradycardia. Biceps reflex — a jerking of the forearm when the biceps brachii tendon is struck with a tendon hammer, stimulating the C5 and C6 reflex arcs. Blushing — a reddening of the face caused by embarrassment, shame, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_injury

    The voltage-current characteristic of human skin is non-linear and depends on many factors such as intensity, duration, history, and frequency of the electrical stimulus. Sweat gland activity, temperature, and individual variation also influence the voltage-current characteristic of skin.

  5. Arc flash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_flash

    An arc flash is the light and heat produced from an electric arc supplied with sufficient electrical energy to cause substantial damage, harm, fire, or injury. Electrical arcs experience negative incremental resistance , which causes the electrical resistance to decrease as the arc temperature increases.

  6. Chevron (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_(geology)

    Chevron folding preferentially occurs when the bedding regularly alternates between contrasting competences. [1] Turbidites, characterized by alternating high-competence sandstones and low-competence shales, provide the typical geological setting for chevron folds to occur. Perpetuation of the fold structure is not geometrically limited.

  7. Crouzon syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crouzon_syndrome

    The current research indicates fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR2 and FGFR3 as the leading factors in causing the autosomal dominant Crouzon syndrome. [7] [8] These two transmembrane proteins are two of four fibroblast growth factor receptors involved in osteoblast differentiation during embryonic development; mutations amongst these receptors are involved in several genetic ...

  9. Pharyngeal arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal_arch

    In human embryo, a double innervation is seen only in the first pharyngeal arch. The mandibular nerve is the post-trematic nerve of the first arch and chorda tympani (branch of facial nerve) is the pre-trematic nerve. This double innervation is reflected in the nerve supply of anterior two-thirds of tongue which is derived from the first arch. [12]
