Document Summary
Inside to outside flow of bile: exocrine function is centrifugal, endocrine function is centripetal. Feb 24: cartilage, stem cell is the mesenchymal stem cell. In cartilage, they differentiate into chondroblasts, which then mature into chondrocytes: chondrocyte is main cell type that synthesized and maintains cartilage material, no inflammatory or immune cells going through the cartilage. If it is inflamed, it begins to break down: there are no blood vessels in cartilage. Insulation function disallows short-circuiting of electrical stimuli from one neuronal body to another one: millions are wrapped around axon to keep it insulated, not found along the neuronal body, or the dendrites; only exist around. Individual cells that are wrapped around axons from core to synapse axon: node of ranvier--a gap in the myelin sheath of a nerve, between adjacent. Schwann cells: this is where salutatory nerve conduction occurs. In the white matter: axon then projects and splits:
