In the diagram above, F,G,H,I, and J represent some developmental embryonic stages.  The egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube at D, the [infundibulum] of the fallopian tube. Having just been fertilized but not yet divided, J would indicate the [zygote] stage of development. After 5 successive cell division the embryo is solid ball of 32 cells called a [morula] (H).After two more divisions (G), the embryo begins developing into a hollow ball of cells and is considered a/an [early_blastocyst].  Implantation into the [endometrium] of the uterus occurs at F, the [late_blastocyst] stage.

Negative feedback regulation occurs when the substance an organ produces, such as a hormone, causes its own production to stop.

The spleen is a rather fragile organ and can rupture with blunt trauma (kicked/punched) or car accidents.

Which portion of the nephron is the site of most sodium ion ( Na+) reabsorption?

Which of the following is the correct route of blood flow in the kidneys?

Every muscle fiber is activated by a motor neuron.  The site where the motor neuron contacts the muscle fiber is called the [contact_point]. When depolarized, the axon vesicles release the [neurotransmitter] ( specific neurotransmitter-full word) which triggers muscle fiber depolarization.
