The two brain structures concerned directly with maintenance of homeostasis include certain nuclei in the brainstem and the .

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

take the blood which is a good example of a heterogeneous mixture.

blood is a vital liquid in our body, which transports oxygen from the air to our lungs so we can breathe. it is also used to eject wastes, such as carbon dioxide, to bring cells and molecules of the immune system to the tissues, and to spread hormones throughout the body. it corresponds to plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobins combined.

in medical tests centrifugal force is used to separate the different components of the blood.

in general, the centrifugation will allow to separate and analyze the different components of the blood, to know if the rate of white blood cells in the blood of a patient, for example, is normal, and therefore to know if his system immune is integrity.

under the action of centrifugal force, the solid components in the blood are drawn to the bottom of the tube in which the blood is contained. the centrifugal force then acts as an accelerated settling. it separates plasma from red blood cells and white blood cells.
