• vital functions
  27 January 2018, by admin

  Definition: Vital functions are organ functions necessary to the life of a organism, as the human body or Homo sapiens.
  It can be for examples :
  respiration or oxygenation of tissues
  digestion or nutrients supply
  maintain of vital physiological parameters

• organ system functions
  27 January 2018

  The notion of system (or apparatus) relies upon the concept of vital or organic function: a system is a set of organs with a definite function. This idea was already present in Antiquity (Galen, Aristotle), but the application of the term "system" is more recent.
  For example, the nervous system was named by Monro (1783), but Rufus of Ephesus (c. 90-120), clearly viewed for the first time the brain, spinal cord, and craniospinal nerves as an anatomical unit, although he wrote little about (...)

  Biological system WP
  Definition: A biological system is a complex network of biological entities (biologically relevant entities).
  As biological organization spans several scales (or levels of organization), examples of biological systems are molecular systems , cells , tissues , organs or organ systems.
  Examples of biological systems are also cells , cellualr organelles, macromolecular complexes and regulatory pathways.
  A biological system is not to be confused with a living (...)

  systems
  |WKP|
  Definition : A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole.
  Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.
  A system has a function.

• abetalipoproteinemia
  19 June 2017

  Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome WKP
  Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that interferes with the normal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins from food.
  It is caused by a mutation in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein resulting in deficiencies in the apolipoproteins B-48 and B-100, which are used in the synthesis and exportation of chylomicrons and VLDL respectively. It is not to be confused with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia.
  Mutations in the (...)

  WKP
  See also : body / organism / animal
  Definition: A body plan is "an assemblage of morphological features shared among many members of a phylum-level group".
  The vertebrate body plan is one of many: invertebrates consist of many phyla.
  This term, usually applied to animals , envisages a "blueprint" encompassing aspects such as symmetry , segmentation and limb disposition.
  Evolutionary developmental biology seeks to explain the origins of diverse body plans.
  Body plans have (...)
