The body wall forms the cylinder. The two tubes are the ventrally locatedalimentary canal(i.e., the digestive tract) and the dorsally located neural tube (i.e., the spinal cord). Between the tubes lies the rod—the notochord in the embryo, which becomes the vertebral column prior to bir...
adult stem cells (AdSCs) are undifferentiated cells located in adult organs, such as the lungs, brain, liver, intestines, and kidneys. After treatment with the appropriate culture conditions, AdSCs are able to form
The human abdomen is the part of the front of our body between the chest and the waist line. It is house to many organs in the abdomen including the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys and bowels.
To overcome these challenges, we developed SHANEL, a method based on a new tissue permeabilization approach to clear and label stiff human organs. We used SHANEL to render the intact adult human brain and kidney transparent and perform 3D histology with antibodies and dyes in centimeters-depth....
(A meridian is a curve on the surface of a sphere that is formed by the intersection of the sphere surface and a plane passing through the centre of the sphere.) The field is recorded on a chart. On the nasal side, the field is restricted to about 60° from the midline. This is ...
Physical human–robot interactions (pHRI) often provide mechanical force and power to aid walking without requiring voluntary effort from the human. Alternatively, principles of physical human–human interactions (pHHI) can inspire pHRI that aids walking
Our lungs are the organs that allow us to breathe. When we breathe in—or inhale—our lungs fill with air which contains oxygen. When we breathe out—or exhale—a gas called carbon dioxide flows out of our lungs. We continue our quest to explore with our hands as we make a model of...
Points selected on the unfold can be located on the 3D and vice versa as demonstrated by the stylized points in Fig. 14. Generation of the unfold 2D map from the 3D shell is fast, requiring less than 3 min on a 2.5 GHz PC. Once the unfold is generated, using internal mapping lookup...
though there is no absolute point at which the jejunum ends and the ileum begins. In broad terms, the jejunum occupies the upper and left part of the abdomen below the subcostal plane (that is, at the level of the 10th rib), while the ileum is located in the lower and right part. ...
goal-directed behavior are thought to be located in the basal ganglia86. Impairments to these structures, for instance from cell loss associated with Parkinson’s Disease, leads to reduced ability to switch between reflexive and goal-directed behavior, e.g. a reduced ability to voluntarily initiate...
