Each measures around four to five inches in length or about the size of a fist. Kidneys primarily serve as a filter in the human body which cleanses toxins and waste materials out of the blood. In fact, the kidneys filter about one-half cup of blood per minute. The common waste ...
Mabea is an important neotropical genus of the Euphorbiaceae, whose secretory structure diversity is still little known. Mabea fistulifera Mart., one of the most representative species in the genus, is a pioneer plant that is widely distributed across Brazil and Bolivia. We investigated the ...
Location and size of the heart Heart anatomy The human heart is a roughly cone-shaped, four-chambered, hollow, and muscular organ that resembles a closed fist, with two-thirds of its mass deviating to the left of the midline. The heart weighs a little more than your fist, approximately 20...
The spleen is a purple, fist-sized organ. It is wrapped by a fibroelastic capsule which allows the spleen to significantly increase its size when necessary. The spleen is an intraperitoneal organ, so all of its surfaces are covered with visceral peritoneum. Only the hilum of the spleen, the...

Muscles that assist the prime mover, e.g., extensor carpi muscles assist flexor digitorum muscles when clenching a fist. What are Fixators in muscle interactions? Synergists that stabilize the origin of a prime mover, e.g., several back muscles stabilize the scapula when the deltoid flexes th...
Data availability and temporal resolution make it challenging to unravel the anatomy (duration and temporal phasing) of the Last Glacial abrupt climate changes. Here, we address these limitations by investigating the anatomy of abrupt changes using sub-d
