What is the term used for astronauts loss of muscle mass?
atrophy
What condition is characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons in the parietal and temporal lobes?
Alzheimer's disease.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow material to pass through it called?
permeability
What are facts about permeability?
Changes in permeability are changes in the number of compounds that can pass through a membrane. The presence of certain chemicals or radiation can change the permeability of a membrane.
What is global diffusion?
Diffuse global atrophy, or diffuse brain atrophy, is when the brain shrinks in size. It's more severe than the atrophy that occurs normally with aging.
What is diuse atrophy?
diuse atrophy (muscle loss or weakness from lack of use)
What is muscle atrophy?
Muscle atrophy refers to the wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from disease or lack of use.
What is mild frontoparietal cortical atrophy?
Mild frontoparietal cortical atrophy is a condition characterized by shrinking of the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. This can lead to symptoms such as difficulty with memory, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions. It is often associated with aging or neurodegenerative disorders.
What is the term used for astronauts loss of muscle mass?
atrophy
In science what does permeability refer to?
It has meanings in both electromagnetism and chemistry/earth sciences. Permeability in electromagnetism in means how receptive a material is to magnetization. Permeability in earth sciences can mean how well a material such as rock can transmit fluids.
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
What terms do refer to a decrease in muscle bulk due to lack of exercise?
One is atrophy.
What is mild diffuse atrophy?
It means a loss of neurons and the connections between them in the brain. Atrophy means loss of cells
What is paraspinous atrophy?
Atrophy is the reduction in size and therefore strength of a muscle. This often occurs due to prolonged disuse or malnutrition, but several other causes are possible. Paraspinous atrophy simple refers to the loss of muscle mass in the area surrounding the spine.
What is the shrinkage of a tissue through a loss in cell size or number?
I believe that "Atrophy" is the word you are looking for.
What condition is characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons in the parietal and temporal lobes?
Alzheimer's disease.
What makes soft iron a suitable core for transformers?
Low hysterisis loss and high permeability
