respiration. Electromagnetic (EM) radiation – Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that is all around us and takes many forms, such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays. Evisceration (Autotomy) - Ejection of viscera as a defensive action by an animal. Falciform ligament – It seperate lobes of liver connect the liver with diaphragm Functional Respiratory Capacity (FRC) - Volume of air present after expiration in lungsGlossary Goblet cell – special mucus secreting columnar epithelial cell located in the respiratory tract and intestine.
Hypopharynx – The hypopharynx is a somewhat globular structure, located medially to the mandibles and the maxillae. In many species it is membranous and associated with salivary glands. It assists in swallowing the food. Hypoxia – the failure of tissues for any reason to receive an adequate supply of oxygen.
Incubator – is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. and maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the XI Std Biology-Zoology Glossary carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction – Isovolumetric means constant volume and length. During ventricular contraction, when all valves are closed, no blood can enter or leave the ventricle during this time.
Because no blood leaves or enters the ventricles the ventricular chamber has a constant volume and the muscle fibres stay at a constant length. Juxtaglomerular apparatus – The ascending limb of Henle returns to the glomerular region of its own nephron, where it passes through the fork formed by the afferent and efferent arterioles. Both the tubular and vascular cells at this point are specialized to form juxtaglomerular apparatus that lie next to the glomerulus. (Juxta means “next to”).
Juxtamedullary nephrons – the glomeruli of the juxtaglomerular nephrons lie in the inner layer of cortex next to the medulla and the loops of Henle plunges through the entire depth of the medulla Concentrated urine is formed in these nephrons. Lacunae – A cavity or depression especially in the bone Macrophages – Immune cells derived from monocytes; engaged in phagocytosis of microbes
