Interacting selectively with vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin that contributes to the maintenance of normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the human bloodstream. Vitamin D is also known as calciferol and five different forms are known, including ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol.

meiotic chromosome movement towards spindle pole

The directed movement of chromosomes from the center of the spindle towards the spindle poles, mediated by the shortening of microtubules attached to the chromosomes, during meiosis.

male meiotic chromosome movement towards spindle pole

The directed movement of chromosomes in the center of the spindle towards the spindle poles, mediated by the shortening of microtubules attached to the chromosomes, during male meiosis.

The directed movement of nuclei within the syncytial embryo of insects. These precise temporal and spatial patterns of nuclear movement are coordinated with mitotic divisons and are required during blastoderm formation to reposition dividing nuclei from the interior of the syncytial embryo to the cortex.

leg joint morphogenesis (sensu Endopterygota)

The process by which the anatomical structures of leg joint are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The leg joint is a flexible region that separates the rigid sections of a leg to allow movement in a controlled manner. As in, but not restricted to, the Holometabola (Endopterygota, ncbi_taxonomy_id:33392).

nucleus distribution along anterior-posterior axis

The stepwise asymmetric spreading out of nuclei internally along the anterior-posterior axis of the developing insect embryo during mitotic cycles 4 to 6. This movement leads to the distribution of nuclei in a hollow ellipsoid underlying the cortex.

central nervous system remodeling (sensu Insecta)

Reorganization of the preexisting, functional larval central nervous system into one that can serve the novel behavioral needs of the adult. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).
