Proximal Radioulnar Articulation (articulatio radioulnaris proximalis; superior radioulnar joint).
Proximal tubule
The valuable molecules, water, glucose, salt, and amino acids are reabsorbed by the blood. The filtrate is now known as urine. The glomerular filtrate has lost about 75% of the original water content and volume.
Loop of Henle ...
proximal tubule The winding section of the renal tubule where most reabsorption of water, sodium, amino acids, and sugar takes place. PICTURE ...
proximal
Pertaining to the region near the body.
pubic symphysis
Joint where the pubic bones come together.

proximal Situated toward or near the point of attachment; opposite of distal, distant.
proximate causation (factors)Mechanistic explanations for how behavior occurs, including, in particular, hormones, the nervous system, and behavior development.
The proximal portion of 19p12 possesses sequence attributes consistent with both euchromatic and heterochromatic DNA including a large cluster of ZNF (zinc-finger) genes, ...
These complexes are abundant at the brush border membranes of kidney proximal tubule cells and epithelial cells of the intestine, and are also expressed in certain leucocytes and cancer cells.
The bioreactor consists of many hollow, porous tubes on the inner wall of which is attached a monolayer of proximal tubule cells (derived from pigs).
For example 2 gene loci that map to the distal and proximal locations on the long arm of chromosome 1 respectively would not be linked but would exhibit synteny. Alos called genome collinearity.

What we found was that there were similar coordinates that told where the position was in an antennae, in a leg, and there was the same general properties that told anterior from posterior, back and front and proximal and distal in the appendage.
The CpG-rich stretch of 20-50 nucleotides occurs within the first 100-200 bases upstream of the start site region (where promoter-proximal elements reside).
First, a proximal explanation -- how does it work? And second, an ultimate explanation -- what was it modified from? For centuries humans have asked, "Why are we here?" The answer to that question lies outside the realm of science.
Refers to the presence of 2 or more loci on the same chromosome; they may or may not be linked closely. For example 2 gene loci that map to the distal and proximal locations on the long arm of chromosome 1 respectively would not be linked but would ...
