The term “membranes” is usually taken to be synonymous with the amnion and the chorion laeve. The membranes represent the “bag of waters” that encloses the fetus. The membranes are distinct from the chorion frondosum, which is the actual...
The liver is an intraperitoneal parenchymal organ located in the upper abdominal cavity, where it is suspended by a series of peritoneal reflections which connect it to adjacent structures and organs. It has a complex vascular architecture, with one arte
Sarcoplasmic reticulum.Another very important muscle fiber organelle is the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum; the interconnecting tubules and sacs of the SR surround each and every myofibril just as the sleeve of a loosely crocheted sweater surrounds your arm, and its ...
It is beyond the scope of this article to provide in-depth anatomy and physiology of these species; however, there are unique features, discussed here. Table 2 summarizes basic physiologic functions and lung lobation. Fig. 2 illustrates the anatomy of the lung in the rat. Table 2. Basic ph...
Another consideration is that the groove is due to abnormal respiratory mechanics and physiology. The strain on the chest wall, the accentuated retractive forces of the lung, and the abnormal contraction of the diaphragm are all possible manifestations of physiological dysregulation. ...

Lungs receive the bulk of their blood supply through the pulmonary arteries. The bronchial arteries, on the other hand, vascularize the bronchi and their surroundings. These two arteries anastomose near the alveolar ducts. Contrary to the pulmonary circulation which is fairly well studied, the bron...
