Purpose: To Test for the presence of shoulder instability. Test position: Sitting or standing. Performing the Test: The examiner grasps the wrist of the patient's elbow and pulls the arm distally. Observation is made of the amount of sulcus (space between the acromion process and humeral head) that is present with the distal arm pull. A positive test is considered for multidirectional instability if 1-2 cm of sulcus is noted. Diagnostic Accuracy: Unknown.
> Synapsis (also called syndesis) is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them. Synapsis takes place during prophase I of meiosis.
The synapse is a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of: a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles, a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters and, a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings.he neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft. 4. The neurotransmitter binds to the neuroreceptors in the post-synaptic membrane, causing the channels to open. In the example shown these are sodium channels, so sodium ions flow in.
