The naturally chaotic variability of conditions and functions observed within the healthy range.

Organs, such as muscles or glands, that directly influence controlled physiological variables

A steroid found in the plasma membrane surrounding every body cell.

Quaternary Protein Structure

A protein that contains clusters of more than one polypeptide chain, all linked together into one big molecule.

Passive transport of water through a selectively permeable membrane in the presence of at least one impermeable solute.

The process by which large molecules can leave the cell even though they are too large to move out through the plasma membrane

Single, folded strand of RNA (combined with polypeptide chains)

Short segment of double-strand RNA (only 20-25 nucelotides long)

Mixture of many cell types, including several types of neurons (conduction cells) and neuroglia (support cells)

Sparsely arranged cells surrounded by a large proportion f extracellular matrix often containing structural fibers (and sometimes mineral crystals)

Rigid, mineralized structures that help perform 5 major roles in the body: Hematopoiesis, Mineral Storage, movement, protection and support.

A tubelike hollow space in the diaphysis of a long bone, also called marrow cavity.

External occipital protuberance

Prominent projection on the posterior surface in the midline a short distance above the foramen magnum.

Sharp protuberance at the distal end of the radius

Joints that have a hyaline cartilage between articulating bones.
