@RUSM_PM Trisomy occurs when there is an extra chromosome present on anyone of the 23 chromosome pairs. This can lead to brith defects such as trisomy 21 which results in Down syndrome #RUSMPMx
@RUSM_PM The great saphenous vein is the longest in the human body and drains the superficial portion of the leg, running from top of the foot up to the groin. #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM The SCM comes from the upper portion of the sternum and connects at the anterior portion of the neck at the mastoid process on both sides. It aids mainly in neck flexion and rotation #RUsMPMX
@RUSM_PM An autosomal recessive gene occurs when both parents pass a recessive allele down (Not from sex chromosomes) to the child resulting in a phenotypic showing of that recessive trait #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM Mendelian inheritance is how which genes are passed down from generation to generation. They consist of the autosomal chromosomes and the sex chromosomes. Pairing of dominant and recessive alleles are tell tail of the trait inherited. Cystic fibrosis is an example #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM The suboccipital triangle is found on the posterior portion of the head and consists of 3 occipital muscles: the capitis rectus posterior major, and the obliquus capitis superior and inferior #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM Alpha feta protein is produced by the fetus liver and is similar to albumin. By measuring levels of it in the amniotic fluid, we can tell if a infant will have certain birth defects, such as mental retardation, spina bifida, and other congential disorders #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM Active transport requires energy and transports molecules against their concentration gradient. There are a couple different types of active transport #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM Neurons/nerve cells transmit info/electrical impulses. They differ from other body cells in that they recieve information via their dendrites, and pass it along via axons to nearby neurons in order to initiate a response #RUSMPMX
@RUSM_PM Osmolality refers to concentration of solute(osmoles) Per the mass(Kg) of solvent. Osmolarity is the concentration of solute per liter of solution. #RUSMPMX
