Therefore, in order to lower the pH, voltage-gated channels in the scintillon membrane are opened to allow the entry of protons from a vacuole possessing an action potential produced from a mechanical stimulation.
22.
In these models, the kinetics of calcification remains the same as in the case of the static systems but the introduction of mechanical stimulation may affect the sites and extent of the deposition.
23.
Mechanotransduction by stereocilia is highly sensitive and able to detect perturbations as small as fluid fluctuations of 0.3 nanometers, and can convert this mechanical stimulation into an electrical nerve impulse in about 10 microseconds.
24.
This mechanical stimulation can be used to assist in the creation of virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control such virtual objects, and to enhance the remote control of machines and devices ( telerobotics ).
25.
Tactile sensors are generally modeled after the biological sense of cutaneous touch which is capable of detecting stimuli resulting from mechanical stimulation, temperature, and pain ( although pain sensing is not common in artificial tactile sensors ).
26.
Touching the larvae of fruit flies, " Drosophila melanogaster, " with a probe causes them to pause and move away from the stimulus, however, stronger mechanical stimulation evokes a more complex corkscrew-like rolling behaviour, i . e . the response is plastic.
27.
A further defence, known as " reflex bleeding ", exists in which an alkaloid toxin is exuded through the joints of the exoskeleton, triggered by mechanical stimulation ( such as by predator attack ) in both larval and adult beetles, deterring feeding.
28.
The mechanical stimulation of the ewe s vagina and cervix by expulsion of the fetus induces a neural release of oxytocin in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, as well as in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, medial preoptic area and the olfactory bulb.
29.
Unusually, there is also a report of seven whitetip reef sharks adopting a cleaning posture ( mouth agape and gills flared ) in the midst of a swarm of non-cleaning hyperiid amphipods; the mechanical stimulation from the moving amphipods are thought to have evoked this behavior through their similarity to actual cleaner organisms.
30.
Whole body vibration may refer to " vibration training ", also known as " vibration therapy ", " biomechanical stimulation " ( BMS ), and " biomechanical oscillation " ( " BMO " ), a training method employing low amplitude, low frequency mechanical stimulation to exercise musculoskeletal structures for the improvement of muscle strength, power, and flexibility.
