The PNS is in charge of constricting the bronchioles, so by making them swell up with a big breath, you trigger the PNS to bring them back to their "resting" size.
Additionally, since 'specific compliance' and 'specific elastance' account for the resting size (volume) of the aerated lung, the response of the respiratory system to an imposed stress may be best evaluated when FRC is known [ 43].
Because of this, you'll want to give your linoleum a chance to reach its "resting" size by storing it in the room you intend to use it in for about 24 hours prior to installing it.
Jason Capel was sitting on a Carolina blue couch, wearing Tar Heels sneakers and resting his size 15 feet on a carpet with the N and C of North Carolina interlocked and patterned across every few inches.
Resting spore size, shape, and arrangement are the primary defining taxonomic characters of phytomyxids, along with the identity of their host species [ 1, 26].
The influence of tendon slack would have been greater still had a twitch instead of a triplet been used (Kawakami et al. 2001), leading to an even greater difference in resting twitch size at 30° versus 90°.
Participant examinations were conducted in the General Clinical Research Center of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and included interviews for medical history, current medications and health behaviors, measurements of body size, resting blood pressure, 12-lead electrocardiogram, fasting blood sample, and morning spot urine collection.
The sinewave stimulus was superimposed on a sustained holding current, equivalent in value to the resting MT current size measured in endolymphatic low-Ca2+ (apical: 500 pA; basal: 50 pA; Figure 1).
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.08177.007 These findings show that the biophysics of low-frequency and high-frequency IHCs, including resting MT current size, K+ channel composition, and voltage responses, differ between low-frequency and high-frequency IHCs, with apical IHCs having a more depolarized resting Vm and faster membrane time constant in vivo.
This technique was used to scan moths of various shapes and sizes resting on different surfaces: smooth slate, leaves, coarse limestone, and rough bark.
We investigated structural lateralization in PCH, FM, and PF by scaling hemisphere-specific volumes of each of these structures to rest of brain size (defined as brain size minus PCH, FM, and PF).
