Sodium/potassium Duo
a: Sodium ~
b: a partner of potassium
What: "Sometimes elimination of salt can make a healthy food less desirable, defeating the need for lower sodium.
Sodium is like a partner of potassium. It's the ratio of sodium/potassium that thru osmosis removes wastes from your muscles. Believe it or not, if you eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables (sources of potassium), you need to not be on a low-sodium diet."

a: The adrenal cortex ~
b: a bunch of city streets
What: "Imagine that the adrenal cortex is like a bunch of city streets. Now imagine that there is a traffic accident on one of the street corners. Where would you expect the biggest pile-up of cars? At the place where there is the accident, right? But, several blocks away from the accident, you may have a normal number of cars. That doesn't mean the accident didn't happen...it just means that you far enough away where traffic is not affected."

a: Cell body ~
b: the head of Bob Marley
What: "A basic, mulitpolar neuron is shaped, in my opinion, like Bob Marley laying on is back with his arms cut off. The dendrites stick out in a bunch of different directions like his dreadlocks, the cell body is like his head, the axon is like his body, and the axon terminal is like his legs/feet. "

a: incomplete dominance ~
b: mixing paint
What:
Seems like people compare this to a red flower crossed with a white flower that gives a pink flower. Or think of it terms of mixing red paint with white paint. What do you get? Pink Paint.
