These complexes are abundant at the brush border membranes of kidney proximal tubule cells and epithelial cells of the intestine, and are also expressed in certain leucocytes and cancer cells.

What we found was that there were similar coordinates that told where the position was in an antennae, in a leg, and there was the same general properties that told anterior from posterior, back and front and proximal and distal in the appendage.

Refers to the presence of 2 or more loci on the same chromosome; they may or may not be linked closely. For example 2 gene loci that map to the distal and proximal locations on the long arm of chromosome 1 respectively would not be linked but would ...

First, a proximal explanation -- how does it work? And second, an ultimate explanation -- what was it modified from? For centuries humans have asked, "Why are we here?" The answer to that question lies outside the realm of science.

Homeostasis should be thought of as a general characterization of many normal processes in concert, not their proximal cause per se. Moreover, there are numerous biological phenomena which do not conform to this model, such as anabolism.
