Phrases 25
- break junctionsplural of break junction: An electronic device consisting of two metal wires separated by a subnanometer gap. As the wire breaks, the separation between the electrodes can be indirectly controlled by monitoring the electrical resistance of …
- cell junctionsplural of cell junction: A specialized structure that links adjacent cells together or connects cells to the extracellular matrix; crucial for tissue integrity, communication, and forming barriers; acting like channels to control substance …
- flying junctionsplural of flying junction: A junction where the diverging line crosses the main line on a bridge, the purpose being the avoidance of conflicting movements.
- gap junctionsplural of gap junction: A specialized connection between cells that allows for intercellular communication, or the transfer of low molecular-weight substances.
- Holliday junctionsplural of Holliday junction: A junction between four strands of DNA. They are a key intermediate in many types of genetic recombination, as well as in double-strand break repair.
- tight junctionsplural of tight junction: An intercellular junction between epithelial cells whose membranes join together to form a virtually impermeable barrier to fluid.
- neuromuscular junctionsplural of neuromuscular junction: The synapse of the axon terminal of a motoneuron with muscle.
- Josephson junctionsplural of Josephson junction: A weak insulating barrier between two superconductors, used as an ultrafast switch.
- p-n junctionsplural of p-n junction: An interface between a p-type and n-type semiconductor; used to create junction diodes and junction transistors
- adherens junctionsplural of adherens junction: A protein complex that occurs at cell-cell junctions in epithelial tissues
- box junctionsplural of box junction: A junction designed to prevent congestion and gridlock. Vehicles may only enter the box-shaped area (usually marked with crossing diagonal lines) if their exit from the junction is clear, or in some cases if they …
- cross junctionsplural of cross junction: A location where two railroad tracks cross, without switches, as where different roads intersect.
- diamond junctionsplural of diamond junction: An at-grade junction between two crossing railroad tracks.
- flat junctionsplural of flat junction: An at-grade junction between two crossing railroad tracks.
- level junctionsplural of level junction: An at-grade junction between two crossing railroad tracks.
- ring junctionsplural of ring junction: A kind of roundabout (circular road junction) in which traffic moves in both directions around the central island.
- spaghetti junctionsplural of spaghetti junction: A complicated interchange with many intertwining roads.
- T-junctionsplural of T-junction: An intersection of routes where one road terminates as it joins a (usually higher priority) road at approximately 90°. In most countries, a give way or stop road sign will be seen at a T-junction.
- X-junctionsplural of X-junction: A non-linear strand of DNA where certain cruciform binding proteins can compete for binding.
- Y-junctionsplural of Y-junction: A three-way intersection of routes shaped like a capital letter Y.
- lossless junctionsplural of lossless junction: An interconnection point between components or transmission lines where the total power or energy entering the junction is exactly equal to the total power or energy leaving it.
- burrowing junctionsplural of burrowing junction: A junction where the diverging line descends to a level where it can pass under the main line, the purpose being the avoidance of conflicting movements.
- annular gap junctionsplural of annular gap junction: A collection of connexins formed from internalized discarded hemijunction gap junctions awaiting disposal by lysosomes.
- cavo-atrial junctionsplural of cavo-atrial junction: The point at which the superior vena cava meets and melds into the cardiac right atrium.
- cavoatrial junctionsplural of cavoatrial junction: The point at which the superior vena cava meets and melds into the cardiac right atrium.
