Which layer of the uterus is the site for implantation of a fertilized egg?
The endometrium, which is the innermost layer of the uterus, is the site for the implantation of a fertilized egg. It is a highly vascularized layer that thickens in preparation for potential pregnancy each menstrual cycle.
Why are sprains and cartilage injuries a particular problem?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
Is adipose tissue vascularized?
Yes, adipose tissue is highly vascularized. It contains a network of blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the fat cells, as well as help in the removal of waste products. The blood vessels in adipose tissue also play a role in regulating metabolic processes and temperature control.
What is the most common site of brain abscess?
The most common site of a brain abscess is the cerebellum.
What is the name of the large cartilage of the anterior larynx?
The most prominent cartilage in the anterior larynx is the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is a shield shaped structure made of hyaline cartilage.
Is the spleen highly vascularized?
Yes it is indeed
Is the brain vascularized?
Yes, the brain is highly vascularized, with a network of blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients. This vascular system is essential for the brain to function properly and maintain its high metabolic activity.
Is it true does the dermis which is highly vascularized accounting for the often pink color in the cheeks true?
true
What connective tissue is not vascularized?
Cartilage is a connective tissue that is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels. It relies on diffusion for nutrient exchange and waste removal.
Cartilage has a rich capillary supply true or false?
False, cartilage gets most of its nutrients via diffusion of nutrients from synovial fluid. The cells in the fibrous synovial membrane that produce synovial fluid are richly vascularized.
Why is an elaborate system of canals needed in bone more than cartilage?
An elaborate system of canals is needed in bone more than in cartilage because bone is a highly vascularized tissue that requires a constant supply of nutrients and oxygen. The canals, including Haversian canals, facilitate the transport of blood vessels and nerves throughout the dense bone matrix, supporting its metabolic activity and facilitating the repair and remodeling processes. In contrast, cartilage is avascular and relies on diffusion for nutrient and waste exchange, making a complex canal system unnecessary.
Is muscle tissue well vascularized?
No. Avascular means that it does not get blood.
What does well-vascularized mean?
If tissue is well vascularized it has a suitable amount of blood vessles in it.
Is the lens of the eye vascularized?
No
Why can you study bone and not cartilage?
Cartilage could be used to hold our selves together but cartilage is actually unformed bone and Cartilage also is very unstable if you bones so to speak were made of cartilage we would highly unstable and unable to walk like a baby almost
Is dense connective tissue vascularized?
Yes. An example is in the dermis, which is very vascular. Dense regular connective tissue is not, however (consists of tendons and ligaments). The other kind of CT that is not vascular is cartilage. Source: medical school lectures
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
