Muscle Insertion. The insertion of the muscle is the end of the muscle attaching to the freely moving bone of its joint. To understand muscles and joint movements, there are four things to keep in mind: Movement happens at joints, with one bone of the joint moving freely while the other remains relatively stationary.
Aldehyde vs Ketone. Aldehydes and ketones are known as organic molecules with a carbonyl group. In a carbonyl group, carbon atom has a double bond to oxygen. The carbonyl carbon atom is sp2 hybridized. So, aldehydes and ketones have a trigonal planar arrangement around the carbonyl carbon atom. The carbonyl group is a polar group, thus, aldehydes and ketones have higher boiling points compared to the hydrocarbons having the same weight.
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Related to Ketones: ketoacidosis, ketosis, diabetic ketoacidosis. A class of acidic organic compounds that includes acetone and aceto-acetic acid. Ketones have a carbonyl group, CO, linked to two other carbon atoms. They are formed in states of carbohydrate deficiency such as starvation or in conditions, such as DIABETES, in which carbohydrates cannot be normally utilized. Acetone, aceto-acetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid are called ketone bodies.
