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. |
