In subject area: Immunology and Microbiology CKD is a long-standing condition defined by the progressive loss of renal function and, once end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is reached, it culminates in kidney failure. From: Translational Autoimmunity, 2023 ...
The smallintestine functionsmainly as a digestion and resorption area (see alsoLambert, 1998). Differences in length that are not proportional tobody sizereflect differences in digestive function such as absorption of nutrient matter. View chapterExplore book...
Your heart is an amazing organ. It continuously pumps oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout your body to sustain life. This fist-sized powerhouse beats (expands and contracts) 100,000 times per day, pumping 5 or 6 quarts of blood each minute, or about 2,000 gallons per day. So how...
each metaphysis contains an epiphyseal (growth) plate, a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length. When a bone ceases to grow in length at about ages 14–24, the cartilage in the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone;...

A considerably more detailed review of this aspect of testis function is provided in Chapter 17. The vascular supply to the testis arises from the abdominal aorta and, in species with scrotal testes, this results in a comparatively long and highly coiled spermatic artery that is particularly ...
Molecular analysis of these subpopulations has revealed differences with regard to proliferative capacity and responsiveness to nutrient cues. Grompe and colleagues identified distinct beta cell populations in humans that exhibit differences in basal and stimulated insulin secretion, as well as gene ...
