In the context of the brain's cortex, a "pump" typically refers to the sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase), which is crucial for maintaining the electrochemical gradients across neuronal membranes. This pump actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, helping to regulate cellular excitability and overall neuronal function. Proper functioning of this pump is essential for processes such as action potential generation and neurotransmitter release.

What is the area of the kidney that includes the cortex and medulla?
The area of the kidney that includes the cortex and medulla is called the renal parenchyma. It is where the functional units of the kidney, known as nephrons, are located. The cortex is the outer region of the renal parenchyma, while the medulla is the inner region.

The outermost layer consisting of ground tissue in a stem is called what?
The outermost layer of ground tissue in a stem is called the cortex. It helps protect the inner layers of the stem and provides structural support.
What is The general interpretive area found at the junction of the lobes of the cerebral cortex is called the?
The general interpretive area found at the junction of the lobes of the cerebral cortex is called the association cortex. It plays a key role in processing sensory information and higher cognitive functions such as language, memory, and decision-making.
What is called the small brain as it looks like a miniature cerebral cortex?
cerebellum
What is a bump in the cortex called?
a bump in the cortex is called a gyrus.
What is the surface of the cerebrum called?
It is called the cortex and it is wrinkly.
What is the bump in the cortex called?
The bump in the cortex is called the gyrus. It is the convex fold in the surface of the brain and surrounded by one or more sulci.
A bump or bulge on the cortex is called a?
gyri
What is the inside of a strawberry called?
The main flesh of the strawberry is called the cortex.
What is the name of the kidney outer layer?
You mean the capsuls covering it. But generally kidney is coverd by posterior wall of peritonium
A shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a?
sulcus
What is the outer surface of the forebrain called?
The cortex is the surface of the brain. The 'wrinkly stuff'.
What is a groove in the cortex called?
It's called sulci, the singular form is sulcus
What sulcus separates the primary motor cortex fron the primary sensory cortex?
The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex of brains in vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando.The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.
What are the ridges and the furrows of a cerebral cortex?
The ridges and furrows in the cerebral cortex are actually folds. The 'furrows' are called sulci and the 'bumps' are called gyri.
Cerebellar hemispheres are separated by a band of cortex called?
vermis
