Smallest cardiac veins
The smallest cardiac veins (also known as the Thebesian veins (named for Adam Christian Thebesius)) are small, valveless veins in the walls of all four heart chambers that drain venous blood from the myocardium directly into any of the heart chambers. They are most abundant in the right atrium, and least abundant in the left ventricle. The smallest cardiac veins vary greatly in size and number. Those draining the right atrium have a lumen of up to 2 mm in diameter, whereas those draining the right ventricle have lumens as small as 0.
Potentiel de repos
Le potentiel de repos membranaire (RMP, pour l'anglais resting membrane potential) est le potentiel électrochimique de membrane de la membrane plasmique d'une cellule excitable lorsqu'elle est au repos ; c'est un des états possibles du potentiel de la membrane. En introduisant une électrode de mesure à l'intérieur de la cellule (voir la méthode de patch-clamp), on constate une différence de potentiel : la face interne de la membrane est négative par rapport à une électrode de référence placée sur la face externe de la membrane.
Bed rest
Bed rest, also referred to as the rest-cure, is a medical treatment in which a person lies in bed for most of the time to try to cure an illness. Bed rest refers to voluntarily lying in bed as a treatment and not being confined to bed because of a health impairment which physically prevents leaving bed. The practice is still used although a 1999 systematic review found no benefits for any of the 17 conditions studied and no proven benefit for any conditions at all, beyond that imposed by symptoms.
