CPU speed is measured with the processors speed which is measured in MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), Flops (Floating-point operations per second) and CPU clock speed (usually measured in gigahertz). 

Monetary policy is the process by which the monetary authority of a country, typically the central bank or currency board, controls either the cost of very short-term borrowing or the monetary base, often targeting an inflation rate or interest rate to ensure price stability and general trust in the currency.

The kidneys are stimulated to produce renin by a decrease in the blood pressure.

The renin-angiotensin system or RAS regulates blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. When blood volume or sodium levels in the body are low, or blood potassium is high, cells in the kidney release the enzyme, renin. Renin's primary function is therefore to eventually cause an increase in blood pressure, leading to restoration of perfusion pressure in the kidneys.

Polygenic inheritance involves the determination of a particular phenotypic characteristic by many genes, called polygenes(group of genes influencing a quantitative characteristic), each having a small effect individually.

Height and skin colour in humans are examples of Polygenic characters.

tRNA abbreviated as A transfer RNA is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The oval window is connected directly to scala vestibuli.
