Extractives in meat cause a flow of saliva and gastric juices, creating the desire to eat and ensuring ease of digestion.
An increased osmotic load due to unabsorbed carbohydrates in the intestinal lumen and colon causes a flow of water and electrolytes into the lumen, thus affecting the gut motility by accelerating the small intestinal transit leading to chronic diarrhea.
Low-mineral water acts as osmoreceptors causing a net flow of minerals from erythrocytes (red blood cells) into the plasma and between intracellular and interstitial fluids.
The actual electric current in a nerve cell, though, is caused by a flow of ions (electrically charged atoms) rather than electrons, which carry current in a wire.
The scientists said the best explanation they could offer for the streaks was that they were caused by a flow of extremely salty water down the slopes.
Indeed, high shear stress on the surface of the scaffold, caused by a flow of fluid, can peel off attached cells and in this condition, tissue growth is significantly slower compared with static cultures.
Upstream of asymmetric gene expression, the rotation of motile cilia within the node (or the equivalent structure in other vertebrates) causes a leftward flow of fluid, called 'nodal flow' [ 8- 11].
Under such conditions, the movement of the sphere causes a counter flow of the liquid, which builds up pressure in front of the sphere, increases friction between sphere and liquid and thereby hinders the sphere's movement.
The Bam disaster caused a large flow of blood donors from around Iran, but of the 108,985 total donated blood units, only 21,347 were distributed to the hospitals around the country.
A composition difference in a two-component gas mixture causes a relative flow of the components that tends to make the composition uniform.
