Feb 5	answered	Do taller people have larger somatosensory cortices than short people?
Feb 5	comment	Is there a correlation between muscle fibers and body types? Body type is something about your constitution. I would probably formulate the question differently to ask for correlation between muscle types and physical strength/endurance, for there is some known correlations here (as @Amanda mentioned in her comment).
Feb 5	comment	How exactly does long-term tension (over months) build up in the ligaments, tendons, muscles? So, do I understand right that you mean massage by "tension"? Not static tension or something similar?
Feb 5	answered	Why do dendritic cells have CD4/CD8 on their surface?
Feb 5	answered	Why does scar tissue change color?
Feb 5	answered	How does water buffer a sudden drop in temperature?
Feb 2	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on human-biology tag wiki excerpt
Feb 2	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on What does the human body use oxygen for besides the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?
Feb 1	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on How will rising carbon dioxide levels in the troposphere affect photosynthetic producers?
Jan 31	revised	How do cockroaches resist the effects of ionizing radiation? finished the last sentence
Jan 31	revised	How do cockroaches resist the effects of ionizing radiation? added some explanations and links
Jan 31	comment	How do cockroaches resist the effects of ionizing radiation? @MartaCz-C I use the words "humoral and cellular" in their direct meaning here, rather than referencing to the parts of adaptive immune system: this usage is acceptable and can be found in many research papers on insects (example). But thank for your suggestion, I will edit my answer.
Jan 31	comment	Is it correct that the body only responds to the most painful stimulus? @RoryM Not every input leads to the formation of a dominant center, the input has to fulfill certain criteria -- and if those are met then every input (cold, burn etc.) can do it. Pain is an example where it is true in most cases due to the nature of this input, but Ukhmomsky showed also other inputs in his experiments on dogs.
Jan 24	comment	Looking for a cancer drug target database to guide sequencing of patient tumor DNA @RoryM I don't thinkg so, this is either our project or biostart.SE, rather the ours.
Jan 24	answered	How do you design a drug to be delivered to the CNS?
Jan 23	comment	Is it correct that the body only responds to the most painful stimulus? @yamad In Russian physiology this theory is considered to be proved. There is a classical book by Ukhtomsky (last edition was published in 2002) which describes his experiments with dogs which were used to prove the theory. There are numerous publications mentioning dominance principle in pubmed, but they are mostly in Russian.
Jan 23	comment	Is it correct that the body only responds to the most painful stimulus? @yamad Do you mean if the postulate has ever been proved or if it is applicable to this particular case with pain perception?
Jan 23	comment	Is it correct that the body only responds to the most painful stimulus? "House MD" is one of the best series as regards the veracity of the medical observations. Whereas many cases are normally so rare that it is just improbably that House comes accross them, they all are usually ultimately correct as regards the symptoms, the course etc. The only series with a better medical background is "ER", but with every new season the proportion of the medical part was decreasing so dramatically that I just gave it up in the middle.
Jan 23	comment	Are there any examples of sudden leaps in evolution? Even though it is a nice example of evolutional change, I am just wondering whether the loss of a previously existing ability to produce songs can be seen as an evolution, not devolution or involution?
Jan 23	revised	Are human fetuses more likely to be male? added 1 characters in body
