No, atrophy does not refer to the loss of permeability. Atrophy is the process of wasting away or reduction in size of an organ or tissue due to a decrease in cell size or number, often due to lack of use, inadequate nutrition, or disease. Loss of permeability, on the other hand, typically relates to changes in the ability of membranes to allow substances to pass through, which is a different biological concept.

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 is a condition characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons, particularly in the parietal and temporal lobes of the brain. This pathology often leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and other neurological symptoms.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow material to pass through it called?
permeability
What happens to leg muscles due to the disuse of these muscles over a long period of time?
When leg muscles are not used for an extended period, they can atrophy and weaken. This can lead to reduced muscle mass, strength, and endurance. It may also result in loss of flexibility and coordination in the muscles.
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 the term used for astronauts loss of muscle mass?
atrophy
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 is muscle atrophy?
Muscle atrophy is the loss of muscle mass and strength due to lack of use, injury, or other medical conditions. This can lead to decreased muscle function and weakness. Physical activity and proper nutrition are key to preventing muscle atrophy.
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
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 terms do refer to a decrease in muscle bulk due to lack of exercise?
One is atrophy.
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 condition is characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons in the parietal and temporal lobes?
Alzheimer's disease is a condition characterized by cortical atrophy and loss of neurons, particularly in the parietal and temporal lobes of the brain. This pathology often leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and other neurological symptoms.
What does fissures with frontotemporal cerebral atrophy mean?
Fissures with frontotemporal cerebral atrophy refer to the widening of the brain's fissures, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, due to the loss of brain tissue in those areas. This condition can be associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The atrophy indicates a decline in brain function and may lead to cognitive and behavioral changes. Imaging studies, like MRI, are typically used to assess these changes in the brain.
What makes soft iron a suitable core for transformers?
Low hysterisis loss and high permeability
Example of atrophy?
Muscle atrophy can occur when a limb is immobilized for a long period, leading to loss of muscle mass and strength. This can happen, for example, if a person is in a cast for several weeks after a fracture. Physical therapy and exercise are often needed to rebuild the muscle.
