Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.

See Bromethalin and Adenosine triphosphate

Aniline

Aniline (and -ine indicating a derived substance) is an organic compound with the formula. Bromethalin and Aniline are Anilines.

See Bromethalin and Aniline

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See Bromethalin and Axon

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.

See Bromethalin and Central nervous system

Convulsion

A convulsion is a medical condition where the body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in uncontrolled shaking.

See Bromethalin and Convulsion

Death

Death is the end of life; the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.

See Bromethalin and Death

Hyperesthesia

Hyperesthesia is a condition that involves an abnormal increase in sensitivity to stimuli of the senses.

See Bromethalin and Hyperesthesia

Intracranial pressure

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure exerted by fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the skull and on the brain tissue.

See Bromethalin and Intracranial pressure

Methyl group

In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula (whereas normal methane has the formula). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me.

See Bromethalin and Methyl group

Mitochondrion

A mitochondrion is an organelle found in the cells of most eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi.

See Bromethalin and Mitochondrion

Myelin

Myelin is a lipid-rich material that surrounds nerve cell axons (the nervous system's electrical wires) to insulate them and increase the rate at which electrical impulses (called action potentials) pass along the axon.

See Bromethalin and Myelin

Neuron

A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.

See Bromethalin and Neuron

New product development

In business and engineering, product development or new product development (PD or NPD) covers the complete process of bringing a new product to market, renewing an existing product and introducing a product in a new market.

See Bromethalin and New product development

Nitro compound

In organic chemistry, nitro compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more nitro functional groups.

See Bromethalin and Nitro compound

Oxidative phosphorylation

Oxidative phosphorylation (UK, US) or electron transport-linked phosphorylation or terminal oxidation is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing chemical energy in order to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

See Bromethalin and Oxidative phosphorylation

Paralysis

Paralysis (paralyses; also known as plegia) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles.

See Bromethalin and Paralysis

Poison control center

A poison control center is a medical service that is able to provide immediate, free, and expert treatment advice and assistance over the telephone in case of exposure to poisonous or hazardous substances.

See Bromethalin and Poison control center

Rodenticide

Rodenticides are chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents. Bromethalin and Rodenticide are Rodenticides.

See Bromethalin and Rodenticide

Seizure

A seizure is a period of symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

See Bromethalin and Seizure

Sodium–potassium pump

The sodium–potassium pump (sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as -ATPase, pump, or sodium–potassium ATPase) is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) found in the membrane of all animal cells.

See Bromethalin and Sodium–potassium pump

Tremor

A tremor is an involuntary, somewhat rhythmic, muscle contraction and relaxation involving oscillations or twitching movements of one or more body parts.

See Bromethalin and Tremor

Trifluoromethyl group

The trifluoromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula -CF3. Bromethalin and trifluoromethyl group are trifluoromethyl compounds.

See Bromethalin and Trifluoromethyl group

Vacuole

A vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal, and bacterial cells.

See Bromethalin and Vacuole

Warfarin

Warfarin is an anticoagulant used as a medication under several brand names including Coumadin.

See Bromethalin and Warfarin

2,4,6-Tribromophenol

2,4,6-Tribromophenol (TBP) is a brominated derivative of phenol.

See Bromethalin and 2,4,6-Tribromophenol
