The bronchial artery, except for a small number of short branches in the hilum, contributes none of the pleural blood supply.

As in type 1,, it provides arterial blood to the interlobular septa, and an extremely rich anastomotic pleural supply is seen ( figs. 9, 10 ).

Although Miller noted in 1907 that a difference in the pleural blood supply existed between animals, nowhere in his published works is it found that he did a comparative study of the intrapulmonary features of various mammalian lungs other than in the dog and cat ( Miller, '13 ; ;

Although variations of the blood supply to the adrenal glands ( and indeed the kidneys themselves ) are common, there are usually three arteries that supply each adrenal gland:

The adrenal glands and the thyroid gland are the organs that have the greatest blood supply per gram of tissue.

This procedure may be performed by leaving the donor tissue connected to the original site to retain its blood supply ( the vessels are tunnelled beneath the skin surface to the new site ) or it may be cut off and new blood supply may be connected.

It can be moved into the breast defect while still attached to its blood supply under the arm pit ( axilla ).

While these tests are not required in US, an estimated 75 – 90 % of the blood supply is currently tested for Chagas, including all units collected by the American Red Cross, which accounts for 40 % of the U. S. blood supply.

The brain therefore exists in neutral buoyancy, which allows the brain to maintain its density without being impaired by its own weight, which would cut off blood supply and kill neurons in the lower sections without CSF.

Simple tubular uterine glands reach from the endometrial surface through to the base of the stroma, which also carries a rich blood supply of spiral arteries.

Since the valves of the heart do not receive any dedicated blood supply, defensive immune mechanisms ( such as white blood cells ) cannot directly reach the valves via the bloodstream.

The lack of blood supply to the valves also has implications on treatment, since drugs also have difficulty reaching the infected valve.

Chemotherapeutic drugs have a hard time penetrating tumors to kill them at their core because these cells may lack a good blood supply.

For most practical purposes, the brain is dependent on a continual supply of glucose diffusing from the blood into the interstitial tissue within the central nervous system and into the neurons themselves.

Hemoglobin deficiency is, in general, strictly distinguished from hypoxemia, defined as decreased partial pressure of oxygen in blood, although both are causes of hypoxia ( insufficient oxygen supply to tissues ).

In some vertebrates, haematopoiesis can occur wherever there is a loose stroma of connective tissue and slow blood supply, such as the gut, spleen, kidney or ovaries.

Surgical intervention for a number of conditions may remove anatomical structures necessary to erection, damage nerves, or impair blood supply.

Sometimes I wondered vaguely what he did about women for my Aunt, by blood, had died some years ago, but neither of us said anything.

for example, the mode of bravery to this anonymous folk poem: `` They brought me news that Spring is in the plains And Ahmad's blood the crimson tulip stains ; ;

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

They had to take blood samples to the laboratory to test them, for one thing, and there was much required preliminary procedure.

But at the touch of Hume and Voltaire the noble or hideous visitations which had haunted the mind since Agamemnon's blood cried out for vengeance, disappeared altogether or took tawdry refuge among the gaslights of melodrama.

There was a little blood on the hem of her dress, for the assassin had slashed Miss Harris's companion, Major Rathbone, with a knife.

Speer and coworkers, in a similar study of blood group antibodies of whole sera, used a series of gradients for elution from Aj.

Here we shall restrict discussion to those methods that appear sufficiently sensitive and precise for determining the concentration of TSH in blood.

Whether this abnormal TSH differs chemically from pituitary TSH, or is, alternatively, normal TSH with its period of effectiveness modified by some other blood constituent, cannot be decided without chemical study of the activity in the blood of these patients and a comparison of the substance responsible for the blood activity with pituitary Aj.

In 1953 the patient developed an unexplained anemia for which 15 blood transfusions were given over a period of 4 years.

Dickens, for excellent psychological reasons, never fully reveals Magwitch's felonious past, but Pip, at the convict's climactic reappearance in London, shrinks from clasping a hand which he fears `` might be stained with blood ''.

During Dulles's first two years in office, while Republicans ran the Senate, the Department was at the mercy of men who had thirsted for its blood since 1945.

A disturbing picture of bad blood, to be further heightened with illicit if buccolic colors, for on a subsequent day I saw Handley escorting Anta, Red's wife, up on Dogtown Common.

And so the sun came up again and for a moment its color was the young men's blood, shifting then into the full heat and outcry which ran with their hearts.

On foreign and military policy, Lincoln spoke out against the Mexican – American War, which he attributed to President Polk's desire for " military glory — that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood ".

Some cells in multicellular animals may be amoeboid, for instance human white blood cells, which consume pathogens.

On contraction, these alternately pass the blood to a single ventricle which pumps it both into both the systemic vessels ( which service the body at large ) as well as the pulmonic vessels ( which return to the lungs for oxygenation ).

The lungs in amphibians are primitive compared to those of amniotes, possessing few internal septa and large alveoli and consequently having a comparatively slow diffusion rate for oxygen entering the blood.

" Harris and other staff officers removed Johnston from his horse and carried him to a small ravine near the " Hornets Nest " and desperately tried to aid the general by trying to make a tourniquet for his leg wound, but little could be done by this point since he had already lost so much blood.

It lists 144 items of shared basic vocabulary ( most of them already present in Starostin 1991 ), including words for such items as ' eye ', ' ear ', ' neck ', ' bone ', ' blood ', ' water ', ' stone ', ' sun ', and ' two '.

While there he collaborated with American physician Charles Claude Guthrie in work on vascular suture and the transplantation of blood vessels and organs as well as the head, and Carrel was awarded the 1912 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for these efforts.

The line extended from the pulse of the blood flow is the central axis of the forehead flap.

The septal mucosal tissue flap, which is an anteriorly based pedicle-graft supplied with blood by the septal branch of the superior labial artery.

When males are excited, a fleshy flap on the bill expands, and this, the wattles and the bare skin of the head and neck all become engorged with blood, almost concealing the eyes and bill.

DLK is an inflammatory process that involves an accumulation of white blood cells at the interface between the LASIK flap and the underlying corneal stroma.

* The blood supplies from the flap and the vein leading to the femoral artery are joined.

* The blood supplies from the flap and the vein leading to the femeral artery are joined.

When changing anatomical sex from male to female, the testicles are removed and the skin of foreskin and penis is usually inverted, as a flap preserving blood and nerve supplies ( a technique pioneered by Sir Harold Gillies in 1951 ) to form a fully sensitive vagina ( vaginoplasty ).

A similar technique where tissue is transferred with the blood supply intact is called a flap.

Applying a flap technique ( first used by Sir Harold Gillies in 1951 ), the spongiform erectile tissue of the penis is removed, and the skin, with its nerves and vascular system ( blood supply ) still attached, is used to create a vestibule area and labia minora, which then are inverted into the neovaginal cavity created in the pelvic tissue.

It pierces the animal's skin with its teeth, peels away a small flap, and laps up the blood with its tongue, which has lateral grooves adapted to this purpose.
