- Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. [e]
- Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. [e]
- Cell surface receptor [r]: Proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Diuretic [r]: Agents that promote the excretion of urine through their effects on kidney function (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Ion channel gating [r]: In biochemistry and signal transduction, the opening and closing of ion channels due to a stimulus (U.S. National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Ion-selective electrodes [r]: A transducer (sensor) which converts the activity of a specific ion dissolved in a solution into an electrical potential which can be measured by a voltmeter or pH meter. [e]
- Kidney [r]: Organs in the dorsal region of the vertebrate abdominal cavity, functioning to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid-base concentration, and filter the blood of metabolic wastes, which are then excreted as urine. [e]
- Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [r]: Award conferred once a year by the Swedish Karolinska Institute, for physiology or medicine, since 1901. [e]
- Resting potential [r]: Potential difference between the two sides of the membrane of a nerve cell when the cell is not conducting an impulse, the resting potential for a neuron being between 50 and 100 millivolts. [e]
- Second messenger system [r]: Systems in which an intracellular signal is generated in response to an intercellular primary messenger such as a hormone or neurotransmitter (U.S. National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Signal transduction [r]: The intercellular or intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway (U.S. National Library of Medicine). [e]
