Ascus (bethesda System)
The Bethesda systemĀ (TBS), officially calledĀ The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology, is a system for reportingĀ cervicalĀ or vaginalĀ cytologicĀ diagnoses,[1]Ā used for reportingĀ Pap smearĀ results. It was introduced in 1988[2]Ā and revised in 1991,[3]Ā 2001,[1][4][5]Ā and 2014.[6]Ā

Thecal Sac or Dural Sac
TheĀ thecal sacĀ orĀ dural sacĀ is theĀ membranousĀ sheathĀ (theca) or tube ofĀ dura materĀ that surrounds theĀ spinal cordĀ and theĀ cauda equina. The thecal sac contains theĀ cerebrospinal fluidĀ which provides nutrients and buoyancy to the spinal cord.[1]Ā From theĀ skullĀ the tube adheres to bon
Relaxin
We’re about to dive into the wild world of Relaxin, the protein hormone that’s been turning heads since 1926 when Frederick Hisaw first stumbled upon it. This isn’t your average hormone – it’s a multitasking marvel that’s about to blow your mind! Researchers say t
Theca folliculi
The theca folliculi comprise a layer of the ovarian follicles. They appear as the follicles become secondary follicles. The theca are divided into two layers, the theca interna and the theca externa.[1] Theca cells are a group of endocrine cells in the ovary made u
Theca
In biology, a theca (pl.: thecae) is a sheath or a covering. Botany The typical anther is bilocular, i.e. it consists of two thecae. Each theca contains two microsporangia, also known as pollen sacs. The microsporangia produce the microspores, which for seed plants 
Xylotheque
AĀ xylothequeĀ orĀ xylothekĀ (from the GreekĀ xylonĀ for “wood” andĀ thequeĀ meaning “repository”) is special form ofĀ herbariumĀ that consists of a collection of authenticated wood specimens.[1]Ā It is also known as aĀ xylariumĀ (from the GreekĀ xylonĀ for “wood”
HFE H63D & VO2Ā max
SMOKE EM IF YOU GOT EM TheĀ HFE H63DĀ is aĀ single-nucleotide polymorphismĀ in theĀ HFE geneĀ (c.187C>G, rs1799945), which results in the substitution of a histidine for an aspartic acid at amino acid position 63 of the HFE protein (p.His63Asp). HFE participates in the regulation of iron absorption.
Transferrin binding and PH
Transferrin binding to transferrin receptors reduces its affinity for iron. Two pathways can occur once endocytosedādegradation or recycling pathways.Ā The degradation pathway is where the dissociation of ferric ions from transferrin occurs from an early and late endosome. Iron can now be utilized

embryonic intrigue that’ll make your buccopharyngeal membrane quiver with excitement!
Picture, if you will, the humble beginnings of life, where a thin membrane known as the buccopharyngeal membrane (or oropharyngeal membrane for those who like their words extra fancy) plays the role of the ultimate gatekeeper between the primitive mouth and pharynx. It’s like nature’s ve
Rete pegs (aka rete processes or rete ridges or papillae) are epithelial extensions that project into the underlying connective tissue in both skin and mucous membranes.
In the epithelium of the mouth, the attached gingiva exhibit rete pegs, while the sulcular and junctional epithelia do not. Scar tissue lacks rete pegs and scars tend to shear off more easily than normal tissue as a result. Ira D. Papel (2011).Ā Facial Plastic and
