The system of organs that carries blood around your body is called the 'Circulatory' system, or the 'circulatory' organs.
An open space in your body refers to a cavity or an area that is not filled with structures such as organs or tissues. Examples include the sinuses in the skull or the pericardial cavity around the heart.
Germinal tissue refers to the region in plants where cell division and differentiation take place, leading to the formation of new tissues and organs. It is responsible for growth and development in plants.
The soft packing around organs refers to connective tissue known as adipose tissue or fat. Adipose tissue acts as a cushion, providing support and protection for organs while also storing energy. It helps to keep organs in place within the body and insulates them to regulate temperature.
"Squamous" refers to the flat, scale-like shape of cells, tissues, or organs. Squamous cells are often found lining the surfaces of organs like the skin, lungs, and digestive tract. Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that arises from these flat cells.
Universal donation refers to a system where individuals can donate organs or tissues for transplantation to anyone in need, regardless of factors like nationality or citizenship. It aims to increase the supply of organs available for transplantation and save more lives.
An open space in your body refers to a cavity or an area that is not filled with structures such as organs or tissues. Examples include the sinuses in the skull or the pericardial cavity around the heart.
The term that refers to groups of tissues working together is "organ." Organs are composed of different types of tissues that collaborate to perform specific functions in the body.
Xenotransplantation refers to the process of transplanting cells, tissues, or organs from one species to another, typically from animals to humans. It is a potential solution to the shortage of human organs for transplantation.
The term "epithelioma" refers to a cancer of the epithelium, which includes skin, mucous membranes, and the tissues surrounding internal organs and glands.
Internal growth of an organism refers to the increase in size or development of tissues, organs, and systems within the organism's body. It involves processes like cell division, differentiation, and tissue maturation. Internal growth is essential for an organism's overall development and maturation.
Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans. Such cells, tissues or organs are called xenografts (xenotransplants). The term allotransplantation refers to a same-species transplant. A good example of this is a pig heart valve replacement in a person who has a diseased heart valve.
Shock refers to the failure of the circulatory system to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to the body's organs and tissues, leading to cellular dysfunction and potential organ failure.
Germinal tissue refers to the region in plants where cell division and differentiation take place, leading to the formation of new tissues and organs. It is responsible for growth and development in plants.
No, flesh is not an organ. Flesh refers to the soft tissue of the body, while organs are more complex structures that perform specific functions within the body. Organs are made up of different types of tissues, including flesh.
In cell terms, "occlusion" rhymes with "illusion." This term refers to the blocking or closure of a blood vessel, affecting blood flow to certain tissues or organs.
"Sclerosis" refers to the hardening or thickening of tissues or organs. It can occur as a result of various conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, a disease that causes damage to the protective covering of nerves in the brain and spinal cord.
An organ is made of tissues that work together.
