In some people, the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin, for example, in a condition called type 1 diabetes. This condition is caused when the beta cells that produce insulin have been destroyed.

Cranial and caudal have the same meaning as superior and inferior, respectively, but are used in reference to animal, rather than human, anatomy. Anterior and Posterior. Anterior refers to the side of the body facing up in the standard anatomical position. Posterior refers to the bottom side.

Insulin is a hormone made by an organ located behind the stomach called the pancreas. Here, insulin is released into the bloodstream by specialised cells called beta-cells found in areas of the pancreas called islets of Langerhans (the term insulin comes from the Latin insula meaning island). Insulin can also be given as a medicine for patients with diabetes because they do not make enough of their own.

Insulin works in tandem with glucagon, another hormone produced by the pancreas. While insulin’s role is to lower blood sugar levels if needed, glucagon’s role is to raise blood sugar levels if they fall too low.

The terms superior and inferior are used when referring to parts of the body which are toward an end of the body. Superior meaning toward the head and inferior meaning toward the feet. Toward an end does not necessarily mean close to the end. For example, the bowels are inferior to the lungs.

How does deep tendon reflex test not only sensory but uppermotor neuron fidelity as well. 1A sensory stimulation is not enough for alpha-motor neuron to depolarize-must be partially depolarized from upper motor neurons as well.

Strictly speaking, how the body functions is physiology. Despite this fact, it is almost impossible to explain anatomy without going into some physiology and vice versa so some physiological concepts will be introduced in this book. There are two types of anatomy: gross, or macroscopic, and microscopic.

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world. Anatomy is the science of the structure of living organisms so human anatomy is the science of the structure of the human body. This wikibook will hopefully give you a good understanding of what your body is made of and of how it develops.

Ramya. Advertisements: The Golgi tendon reflex (also called negative or inverse stretch reflex) is a bisynaptic reflex, initiated by the Golgi tendon organ located in muscle tendons. Like muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs are also stretch receptors.

what is inverse organs called?
Golgi tendon reflex is inverse organs. Inverse organ is called the Golgi tendon reflex.
