Causes of Cor Pulmonale. The lungs depend on the heart to transport blood from the body to the lungs. Pulmonary hypertension is a type of increased pressure in your lungâs arteries and your heartâs right ventricle. This increased pressure causes an ineffective transportation of blood to the lungs. Untreated pulmonary hypertension is the most common cause of cor pulmonale. Other conditions that can cause this health complication include: blood clots in the lungs.
The junction between a motor neuron's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called neuromuscular junction A motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle cells it stimulates is called a
Gap junction. A gap junction may also be called a nexus or macula communicans. When found in neurons or nerves it may also be called an electrical synapse. While an ephapse has some similarities to a gap junction, by modern definition the two are different. Gap junctions are a specialized intercellular connection between a multitude of animal cell-types. They directly connect the cytoplasm of two cells, which allows various molecules, ions and electrical impulses to directly pass through a regulated gate betw
