For example, the spleen and the lymph nodes are the major organs of the immune system, and they work together to clean the blood and the lymph circulating the body so that the body is protected from the harmful effect of invading pathogens, such as ...
Nutrient partitioning between organs with similar function tended to be isometric, whereas partitioning between organs with distinct functions tended to be allometric. The scaling relationship between above‐ and below‐ground organs remained consistent, whereas the scaling relationship within above‐ground ...
Our aim was to examine the differential expression of genes of stress, metabolism and inflammation in the major organs of a rat following a laparotomy. Materials and methods Anaesthetised Sprague-Dawley rats were randomised into baseline, 6-hr and 3-day groups (n = 6 each), catheterised and...
As core units of organ tissues, cells of various types play their harmonious rhythms to maintain the homeostasis of the human body. It is essential to identify the characteristics of cells in human organs and their regulatory networks for understanding t
[37]. Platelets are a non-specific first-line inflammatory marker that mediate the recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages and their effector functions. Platelet activation is mediated by serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, cytokines, and P-selectin, all of which play generally an important role in ...
Box 1 The different functions of mesothelium The mesothelium provides a lubricating non-adhesive surface that constitutes a frictionless interface between mobile adjacent organs and/or their cavities4. This is achieved through the synthesis of various phospholipids, glycosaminoglycans, and proteoglycans, ...
The muscles of your heart, organs and other internal structures are involuntary muscles because they are hard at work regardless of what you are doing; they even work while you sleep. There are two types of involuntary muscles inside of you: cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. In this lesson...
