1. Stomach: The stomach, part of the digestive system, receives and partially digests food. 2. Spleen: An essential immune organ, the spleen filters blood and stores platelets. 3. Pancreas: This dual-function organ produces digestive enzymes and regulates blood sugar levels. ...
Anatomy, one of the oldest basic medical sciences, is defined by three-dimensional structures, functions, and relationships of organs and theirblood supply,innervation, and lymphatics.1–3A comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy and the surrounding structures is fundamental to the planning and executi...
Objective To observe the anatomic characteristics of pineal region and its adjacent structures by simulating midline and paramedian SCIT approach under neuroendoscopy, so as to provide anatomic basis for endoscopic treatment of lesions in this area. Methods Five adult cadaveric heads fixed with formalin...
The intestines are where the majority of digestion occurs. Juices from the pancreas and gall bladder are added in here to aid in processing our nutrients. Food moves throughout these coils, then enters into the large intestine via the ileocecal valve. Thelarge intestine, or colon, is the m...
Novel feed ingredients may trigger unwarranted immune responses again affecting the well-being of the fish. Here we review our current knowledge concerning salmon intestinal anatomy, immunity, digestive physiology and microbiota in the context of industrialized feeding regimes. We point out knowledge gaps...

Cross-sections provide the perception of ‘depth’, creating three-dimensional relationships between anatomical structures in your mind’s eye. They build the entire picture, improve your understanding, consolidate the information and facilitate recall. In addition, modern imaging techniques like ultrasound...
What are the characteristics of the lamina lucida Thin layer made of proteoglycans and glycoproteins secreted by the epithelial cell and acts as a barrier to proteins What are the characteristics of the lamina densa Densely packed thick fibers (made from proteins) made by surrounding tissues This ...
For vagal afferent innervation, retrograde and anterograde tracing studies in the rat have clearly shown that only a minor portion of the common hepatic branch innervates the liver area, while the major portion descends in the gastroduodenal branch toward duodenum, pancreas, and pylorus. Hepatic ...
