  2. Henneman's size principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henneman's_size_principle

    At the time of Henneman’s initial study of motor neuron recruitment, [1] it was known that neurons varied greatly in size, that is in the diameter and extent of the dendritic arbor, size of the soma, and diameter of axon. However, the functional significance of neuron size was not yet known.

  3. Patient recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_recruitment

    Patient recruitment in the US includes a variety of services—typically performed by a Patient Recruitment Service Provider—to increase enrollment into clinical trials. Presently, the patient recruitment industry is claimed to total $19 billion [1] per year. [2] Patient enrollment is the most time-consuming aspect of the clinical trial process.

  4. Motor unit recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit_recruitment

    If a correlation were to be drawn between Henneman's size principle [14] and the motor unit categorization of Burke regarding the order of motor unit recruitment, it would resemble the following order: the smallest units, S (slow) (Slow-Oxidative), would be recruited first, followed by larger FR (fast, resistant) (Fast-Oxidative) units, and ...

  5. Recruitment (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recruitment_(biology)

    In population dynamics and community ecology, recruitment is the process by which individuals are added to a population. [1] Successful recruitment is contingent on an individual surviving and integrating within the population; in some studies, individuals are only considered to have been recruited into a population once they've reached a certain size or life stage.

  6. Monoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoblast

    Development continues by, yet again, the activation of certain transcription factors. A monoblast matures into a monocyte if the transcription factors PU.1 and C/EBPa are expressed. [9] Monocytes will then develop into macrophages or dendritic cells upon tissue damage and recruitment of monocytes into the infected area. [1]

  7. Medical illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_illustration

    Medical illustrations have been made possibly since the beginning of medicine [1] in any case for hundreds (or thousands) of years. Many illuminated manuscripts and Arabic scholarly treatises of the medieval period contained illustrations representing various anatomical systems (circulatory, nervous, urogenital), pathologies, or treatment methodologies.

  8. Neuroectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroectoderm

    After formation of the tube, the brain forms into three sections; the hindbrain, the midbrain, and the forebrain. The types of neuroectoderm include: Neural crest. pigment cells in the skin; ganglia of the autonomic nervous system; dorsal root ganglia. facial cartilage; aorticopulmonary septum of the developing heart and lungs; ciliary body of ...

  9. Platelet plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_Plug

    A secondary hemostatic plug is formed after the temporary blockage is created. This process involves the conversion of fibrinogen, a soluble glycoprotein, into fibrin, an insoluble glycoprotein, using the enzyme thrombin. The fibrinogen forms fibrin to encase the platelet thrombus, thus creating a secondary hemostatic plug that is much more ...
