Recent years have witnessed an explosion of knowledge lea-ding to a molecular understanding of the mechanisms of ac-tion of calcium on excitation and contraction coupling andits role in the regulation of contractility.
Stability of the internal environment in which neuronal elements are situated is unquestionably an important prerequisite for the effective transmission of information in the nervous system.
This volume intends to provide a comprehensive overview on the mecha- nisms of muscle contraction and non-muscle cell motility at the molecu- lar and cellular level, not only for investigators in these fields but also for general readers interested in these topics.
In the past 5 years there has been an enormous increase of evidence that the ion channels activated by mechanical force are common to a wide variety of cell types.
Harderian glands, first described by Jacob Harder in two species of deer in 1694, are large, intraorbital glands which, with but few exceptions, are found in all land vertebrates.
Angaben über die Inzidenz neurologischer und psychischer Funktionsstörungen nach kardiopulmonalen Bypassoperationen reichen in verschiedenen klinischen Untersuchungen von 5 bis 64 %, wobei die Funktionsausfälle von leichten neurologischen Veränderungen bis zu zerebralen Infarkten reichen.
Investigations of the oxygen carriers range from the characterization of natural populations to measurements of tenths of nanometer distances between atoms.
It is a great honor and pleasure for me to introduce this book; an honor, because of the scientific renown and authority of the investigators who have edited the volume and contributed the chapters; a pleasure, because my own long-lasting interest in the baroreflexes has always gone in the same directions as those along which the authors of this book have conceived and organized their work.
Advances in Compararative and Environmental Physiology helps biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the extensive literature in the field.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Walter Brendel, late Professor of Experimental Surgery and Chairman of the Institute for Surgical Research at the University of Munich, Germany.
Together with the two previous volumes of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology on histamine and antihistamines the present publication yields a picture of a still rapidly developing field of research.
This volume contains the contributions to a Satellite Symposium of the XXXI In- ternational Congress of Physiological Sciences in Espoo, Helsinki, Finland, July 15-17,1989.
Frühkindliche funktionelle Seitneigeasymmetrie in der oberen Halswirbelsäule ist altersspezifischer Ausdruck menschlicher Lateralität und Hintergrund für die Entwicklung funktioneller und morphologischer Asymmetrien in anderen Regionen des Haltungs- und Bewegungssystems.
