Accessory Organs01:31

Accessory Organs

74.3K
Accessory organs are those that participate in the digestion of food but do not come into direct contact with it like the mouth, stomach, or intestine do. Accessory organs secrete enzymes into the digestive tract to facilitate the breakdown of food.

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.6K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins02:36

RNA Polymerase II Accessory Proteins

11.0K
Proteins that regulate transcription can do so either via direct contact with RNA Polymerase or through indirect interactions facilitated by adaptors, mediators, histone-modifying proteins, and nucleosome remodelers. Direct interactions to activate transcription is seen in bacteria as well as in some eukaryotic genes. In these cases, upstream activation sequences are adjacent to the promoters, and the activator proteins interact directly with the transcriptional machinery. For example, in...

Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

3.7K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sensory Biology
  • Mammalian Behavior

Background:

  • The accessory olfactory system mediates social and reproductive behaviors in mammals.
  • Its direct connections to the amygdala and hypothalamus make it ideal for studying sensory control of behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of vomeronasal signaling and coding.
  • To emphasize early processing stages within the accessory olfactory system.
  • To integrate existing and recent research on this system.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review integrating molecular, behavioral, and physiological studies.
  • Focus on rodent models, particularly mice.
  • Analysis of vomeronasal sensory neurons and accessory olfactory bulb circuitry.

Main Results:

  • The accessory olfactory pathway exhibits unique molecular, cellular, and circuit properties for chemosensory signaling.
  • This system demonstrates plasticity, adaptive learning, and experience-dependent changes, similar to the main olfactory system.

Conclusions:

  • The accessory olfactory system's function is well-characterized in early processing stages.
  • Significant gaps in knowledge remain, offering avenues for future research into its unique properties and plasticity.
