Answer:
The processing power of the mammalian brain is derived from the tremendous interconnectivity of its neurons. An individual neuron can have several thousand synaptic connections. While these associations yield computational power, it is the modification of these synapses that gives rise to the brain's capacity to learn, remember and even recover function after injury. Inter-connectivity and plasticity come at the price of increased complexity as small groups of synapses are strengthened and weakened independently of one another (Fig. 1). When one considers that new protein synthesis is required for the long-term maintenance of these changes, the delivery of new proteins to the synapses where they are needed poses an interesting problem (Fig. 1). Traditionally, it has been thought that the new proteins are synthesized in the cell body of the neuron and then shipped to where they are needed. Delivering proteins from the cell body to the modified synapses, but not the unmodified ones, is a difficult task. Recent studies suggest a simpler solution: dendrites themselves are capable of synthesizing proteins. Thus, proteins could be produced locally, at or near the synapses where they are needed. This is an elegant way to achieve the synapse specific delivery of newly synthesized proteins.

Answer:
The given statement is TRUE
Explanation:
Urinary bladder is the hollow, muscular and distensible (elastic) organ in the urinary system of a human. The urine enters the bladder through the ureters from the kidneys. The urine collected in the bladder expands it.
The urinary bladder is made up of transitional epithelium. Once the urinary bladder is expanded to a certain extent it stimulates the stretch receptors in the transitional epithelium for the excretion of urine through the urethra.
Therefore, when the urine is accumulated in the urinary bladder, the bladder distends or expands and stimulates the stretch receptors in the transitional epithelium for urine excretion.
Answer:
What is: Glomeruli; Pyelonephritis
Explanation:
Several diseases that affect other parts of the body can have devastating effects on kidney function. Most of these conditions tend to damage the GLOMERULI, which causes the kidneys to lose the ability to filter, and eventually, to fail. Various types of infections can affect the kidneys themselves, a condition called Pyelonephritis.

Answer:
Orthopedic
Explanation:
Lowman joint is an instrument which is used during the surgery of bones. This instrument holds the bone in right position during the time of surgery.
This instrument is made of stainless steel with a satin finish and can be used again and again during the time of surgery.
This instrument is available in different sizes depending on the size of bone whose surgery is being done.
Thus, the correct answer is Option B
