  2. Triad (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triad_(anatomy)

    In the histology of skeletal muscle, a triad is the structure formed by a T tubule with a sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) known as the terminal cisterna on either side. [1] Each skeletal muscle fiber has many thousands of triads, visible in muscle fibers that have been sectioned longitudinally. (This property holds because T tubules run ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stages_of_human_death

    The aforementioned mechanism is the most common cause of brain death; however, this increase in intracranial pressure does not always occur due to an arrest in cardiopulmonary function. [5] Traumatic brain injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhages can also increase the intracranial pressure in the brain leading to a cessation of brain function and ...

  4. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    In humans, reference may take origin from superficial anatomy, made to anatomical landmarks that are on the skin or visible underneath. As with planes, lines and points are imaginary. Examples include: The midaxillary line, a line running vertically down the surface of the body passing through the apex of the axilla (armpit).

  5. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  6. Catalytic triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_triad

    The triad of cytomegalovirus protease [b] uses histidine as both the acid and base triad members. Removing the acid histidine results in only a 10-fold activity loss (compared to >10,000-fold when aspartate is removed from chymotrypsin). This triad has been interpreted as a possible way of generating a less active enzyme to control cleavage ...

    Here is a list of examples in which unrelated proteins have similar functions with different structure. The convergent orientation of the catalytic triad in the active site of serine and cysteine proteases independently in over 20 enzyme superfamilies. [254] The use of an N-terminal threonine for proteolysis.

  8. Triune brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triune_brain

    Her theory about human behavior, and the problems we create with that behavior, distinguishes the prefrontal cortex as uniquely different from the rest of the neocortex. The prefrontal cortex, with its agenda of integration, is the part of the brain that can get the other parts to work together for the good of the individual.
