Fibronectin is a glucoprotein and plays a major role in the cohesion of body cells or in blood clotting. In the organism, it performs many different functions related to its ability to form adhesive forces. Structural defects in the formation of fibronectin can lead to severe connective tissue weaknesses. What is fibronectin? Fibronectin represents a … Fibronectin: Structure, Function & Diseases
The omentum majus is the name given to a duplication of the peritoneum that is rich in fatty tissue. The structure plays an important role in immune defense in the abdominal region. What is omentum majus? The omentum majus is also known as the great mesh, intestinal mesh, abdominal mesh, or omentum gastrolicum. It refers … Omentum Majus: Structure, Function & Diseases
Products Synthetic FimH antagonists are currently in clinical development and not yet commercially available. The natural simple sugar D-mannose is also effective as a FimH antagonist and is available in some countries. However, it binds more weakly to the drug target and must be dosed at high levels. Effects FimH antagonists bind to the protein … FimH Antagonists
Definition Tube uterinaSalpinx is a narrowing of the fallopian tube caused by inflammation of the fallopian tube (salpingitis) or by the advancing age of the woman as a result of an increase in the viscosity of the fluid in the fallopian tube. Ultimately this leads to a functional disorder of the cilia due to the … Bonding of the fallopian tube
Therapy The decision whether and how the stuck-up fallopian tubes are treated ultimately depends on how strong the adhesions are and the extent of the disease. If the adhesions are severe, drug therapy is not very promising, so the doctor will consider surgical exposure of the fallopian tubes. The operation is usually performed without complications … Therapy | Bonding of the fallopian tube
Causes There are many possible causes that can lead to a clogging of the fallopian tube and thus reduce the woman’s fertility. One possible cause of tubal conglutination is the increasing age of the woman. As the last spontaneous menstrual bleeding (menopause) causes a decrease in fluid secretion or an increase in viscosity of the … Causes | Bonding of the fallopian tube
Anatomy The fallopian tube (Tuba uterina/Slapinx) is a paired female sexual organ. It lies within the abdominal cavity (peritoneal cavity), which is called the intraperitoneal position, and provides the connection between the ovaries (ovaries) and the uterus. The fallopian tube has a length of about 10-15 cm and consists of a funnel (infundibulum) near the … Anatomy | Bonding of the fallopian tube
Platelet adhesion is a part of hemostasis in which platelets attach to collagen. This step activates platelets. What is platelet adhesion? Platelet adhesion is a part of hemostasis in which platelets attach to collagen. Shown in white in Figure Platelet or blood platelets. Primary hemostasis – hemostasis – occurs in 3 phases. The first step … Platelet Adhesion: Function, Role & Diseases
In medicine, adhesion describes the force of attachment between two or more organic layers or structures. For example, it enables blood cells to attach to the vessel wall and thus move independently of the blood flow. In a pathological sense, adhesion is an adhesion of sections of organs that may occur, for example, after surgery. … Adhesion: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The marginal flow of the blood is the blood flow in close proximity to the walls of the vessels. Especially in the smaller vessels, it is a plasmatic marginal current without leukocytes and erythrocytes, which has a much lower flow velocity than the central blood current. During inflammatory reactions, the marginal flow changes. What is … Marginal Current of Blood: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Residual volume is the amount of air that remains as residual air in the lungs and airways even during deep exhalation. It maintains the internal pressure of the alveoli and prevents them from collapsing and becoming irreversibly stuck together. In addition, to a small extent, residual air allows continuity of gas exchange during the pause … Residual Volume: Function, Role & Diseases
Causes In many cases, remodelling processes of the connective tissue are responsible for the development of chronic pain. The connective tissue represents a large network of our body. In addition to the entire muscle apparatus, it also envelops the bones, nerve bundles and organs in our body and thus embodies an all-encompassing, coherent connection. The … Pain in the connective tissue
