Dermis-The basal layer of skin; it contains blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, glands, and hair follicles.

Movement is produced and coordinated by several interacting brain centers, including the motor cortex, the cerebellum, and a group of structures in the inner portions of the brain called the basal ganglia.

Both the cerebellum and the motor cortex send information to a set of structures deep within the brain that help control involuntary components of movement (basal ganglia).

The basal ganglia send output messages to the motor cortex, helping to initiate movements, regulate repetitive or patterned movements, and control muscle tone.

Circuits within the basal ganglia are complex.

Within this structure, some groups of cells begin the action of other basal ganglia components and some groups of cells block the action.

A portion of the basal ganglia called the substantia nigra sends electrical signals that block output from another structure called the subthalamic nucleus.

This is known as your basal metabolic rate (BMI).

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of calories your body needs within a 24-hour period to sustain itself.

The number of calories needed for your body to function is known as your basal metabolic rate, and it accounts for two-thirds to three-quarters of the calories you expend every day.

Your basal metabolic rate is your minimal caloric burn rate.

It is never advisable to have a daily caloric intake that falls below this basal metabolic rate (BMR).

This, in turn, decreases your lean body mass (even though your weight is dropping), which decreases your basal metabolic rate.

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) - Your BMR is how much your body burns if all you did was sat around all day.

To determine how many calories your body needs each day, you can use a basal metabolic rate calculator and apply the Harris-Benedict equation.

Known as your basal metabolic rate (BMR), these requirements are the minimum amount of calories you need.

You can calculate how your activity level affects your caloric needs by first calculating your basal metabolic rate (BMR), and then multiplying that amount by the Harris-Benedict equation.

In fact, studies have shown that resistance exercise can raise your basal metabolic rate slightly -- there is still some controversy over just how effective these exercises are on a person's metabolism.

Another way to avoid overestimating, is to calculate your basal metabolic rate and then use the Harris-Benedict equation to find your body's maximum caloric requirements.

Your strength training will elevate your basal metabolic rate so that your body burns calories more efficiently.

It is formed, not from fused spicules, but as a secretion of a special layer of cells derived from the basal ectoderm, and known as calicoblasts.

The ectoderm beneath each fold becomes detached from the surface of the basal plate, and both it and the mesogloea are folded conformably with the endoderm.

In the Dendroidea, as a rule, the polypary is non-symmetrical in shape and tree-like or shrub-like in habit, with numerous branches irregularly disposed, and with a distinct stem-like or short basal portion ending below in root-like fibres or in a membranous disk or sheet of attachment.

The elongated receptacle of the marginal sori is surrounded by a basal cup-shaped indusium.

The highly specialized sporocarps are borne on the basal portions of the leaves, as a rule singly, but in some species of Marsilia in numbers.

This is facilitated by an important general change in the position of the parapodia; their basal attachments are all more ventral in position than in the Chaetopoda, and tend to approach from the two sides towards the mid-ventral line.

It varies as to the presence or absence of the jawprocess and as to the stoutness of the segments of the ramus, their number (frequently six, plus the basal corm), and the modification of the free end.

Crystals of arsenic belong to the rhombohedral system, and have a perfect cleavage parallel to the basal plane; natural crystals are, however, of rare occurrence, and are usually acicular in habit.

The great dodecahedron is determined by the intersections of the twelve planes which intersect the Platonic icosahedron in five of its edges; or each face has the same boundaries as the basal sides of five covertical faces of the icosahedron.

The basal half is dull white, oval in section and coarsely fibrous, the middle part smooth, shining and round, and the tip black.
