detectable change in the internal or external environment.

is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.

an organ or cell that acts in response to a stimulus.

an organ or cell able to respond to light, heat, or other external stimulus and transmit a signal to a sensory nerve.

the way in which a mechanical or electrical device responds to a stimulus or range of stimuli.

a chemical substance that is released at the end of a nerve fiber by the arrival of a nerve impulse and, by diffusing across the synapse or junction, causes the transfer of the impulse to another nerve fiber, a muscle fiber, or some other structure.

the quality or state of being irritable.

a short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.

biology the central part of a neuron, cell that sends and receives messages within the brain and nerves.

the long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.

a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

an organ in the human or animal body which secretes particular chemical substances for use in the body or for discharge into the surroundings.

a cell which bears receptors for a hormone, drug, or other signaling molecule, or is the focus of contact by a virus, phagocyte, nerve fiber, etc.

a region of the forebrain below the thalamus which coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the actpituitary.

production of a bodily secretion at an abnormally slow rate or in abnormally small quantities.

In biology, a response within a system (molecule, cell, organism, or population) that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system.

an action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought.

the principal and most anterior part of the brain in vertebrates, located in the front area of the skull and consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure.

the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.

the continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, forming the lowest part of the brainstem and containing control centers for the heart and lungs.

Regulation

Term	Definition
Regulation	is the science of developing new tools, standards and approaches to evaluate the efficacy, safety, quality and performance of medical products
Stimulus	detectable change in the internal or external environment.
Neuron	A cell of the nervous system.
Impulse	is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.
Effector	an organ or cell that acts in response to a stimulus.
Receptors	an organ or cell able to respond to light, heat, or other external stimulus and transmit a signal to a sensory nerve.
Response	the way in which a mechanical or electrical device responds to a stimulus or range of stimuli.
Neurotransmitters	a chemical substance that is released at the end of a nerve fiber by the arrival of a nerve impulse and, by diffusing across the synapse or junction, causes the transfer of the impulse to another nerve fiber, a muscle fiber, or some other structure.
Irritability	the quality or state of being irritable.
Dendrites	a short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Cyton	biology the central part of a neuron, cell that sends and receives messages within the brain and nerves.
Axon	the long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.
Hormones	a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.
Glands	an organ in the human or animal body which secretes particular chemical substances for use in the body or for discharge into the surroundings.
Target cell	a cell which bears receptors for a hormone, drug, or other signaling molecule, or is the focus of contact by a virus, phagocyte, nerve fiber, etc.
Hypothalamus	a region of the forebrain below the thalamus which coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the actpituitary.
Hyposecretion	production of a bodily secretion at an abnormally slow rate or in abnormally small quantities.
Hypersecretion	production of a bodily secretion at an abnormally slow rate or in abnormally small quantities.
Feedback	In biology, a response within a system (molecule, cell, organism, or population) that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system.
Reflex	an action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought.
cerebrum	the principal and most anterior part of the brain in vertebrates, located in the front area of the skull and consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure.
Cerebellum	the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.
medula ablongata	the continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, forming the lowest part of the brainstem and containing control centers for the heart and lungs.
