Examples of olivary body in the following topics:
-
- The hypoglossal nerve emerges from the medulla oblongata in the preolivary sulcus where it separates the olive (olivary body)
and the pyramid (medullary pyramid).
-
- This causes a syndrome
called medial medullary syndrome, a
type of alternating hemiplegia characterized by recurrent episodes of paralysis
on one side of the body.
- The region between the anterolateral and posterolateral sulcus in the upper part of the medulla is marked by a swelling known as the olivary body, caused by a large mass of gray matter known as the inferior olivary nucleus.
-
- A module consists of a small cluster of neurons in the inferior olivary nucleus, a set of long narrow strips of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex (microzones), and a small cluster of neurons in one of the deep cerebellar nuclei.
-
- A module (a multizonal microcompartment in the terminology of Apps and Garwicz) consists of a small cluster of neurons in the inferior olivary nucleus, a set of long narrow strips of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar cortex (microzones), and a small cluster of neurons in one of the deep cerebellar nuclei.

- In physiology, body water is the water content of the human body.
- It makes up a significant percentage of total body composition.
- The water in the body is distributed among various fluid compartments that are interspersed in the various cavities of the body through different tissue types.
- Body water is regulated largely by the renal and neuro-endocrine systems.
- There are many clinical methods to determine body water.
-
- Body planes are hypothetical geometric planes used to divide the body into sections.
- The sagittal plane (lateral or Y-Z plane) divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) sides.
- It is typically a horizontal plane through the center of the body and is parallel to the ground.
- Body planes are used to describe anatomical motion in the X-Y-Z coordinate system that the body moves through.
- Anatomical change during embryological development is also described and measured with body planes.
-
- The human body is organized at several levels of scale that can each be examined.
- The human body has many levels of structural organization.
- Each tissue type has a characteristic role in the body:
- Each organ is a specialized functional center responsible for a specific function of the body.
- List the various levels of structural organization that make up the human body
-
- If the body must cool down, the body vasodilates these blood vessels.
- This allows for our body to release a lot of body
heat through radiation.
- The body also thermoregulates via the
process of sweating (perspiration).
- In addition, our body thermoregulates
using our hair.
- Finally, while technically not a thermoregulatory mechanism,
the fat associated with our skin does help insulate our body and therefore
increases body temperature as a result.
-
- The liver also plays an important function in the management of body waste.
- It acts as a detoxification system for the body, processing and neutralizing drugs and toxins.
- While the liver may breakdown or neutralize waste in a different and safer form for the body, it doesn't directly remove the waste from the body.
- The lungs are responsible for the removal of gaseous waste from the body.
- The lungs are responsible for the removal of gaseous waste from the body.
-
- Vertebrates have fluid-filled spaces called body cavities that contain the organs.
- By the broadest definition, a body cavity is any fluid-filled space in a multicellular organism.
- "The human body cavity," normally refers to the ventral body cavity because it is by far the largest one in volume.
- The dorsal cavity is a continuous cavity located on the dorsal side of the body.
- This is the most narrow of all body cavities, sometimes described as threadlike.
