The epiphyseal plate is the area of elongation in a long bone. It includes a layer of hyaline cartilage where ossification can continue to occur in immature bones. We can divide the epiphyseal plate into a diaphyseal side (closer to the diaphysis) and an epiphyseal side (closer to the epiphysis).
<h2>Vasa recta </h2>
Explanation:
The vasa recta is a specialized capillary that branches from the efferent arteriole; The blood flow in the vasa recta runs parallel, but in the opposite direction to the flow of tubular filtrate within the nephron loop
- The vasa recta capillaries are long, hairpin-shaped blood vessels that run parallel to the loops of Henle
- The hairpin turns slow the rate of blood flow, which helps maintain the osmotic gradient required for water reabsorption
- Absorbed water is returned to the circulatory system via the vasa recta, which surrounds the tips of the loops of Henle
- Because the blood flow through these capillaries is very slow, any solutes that are reabsorbed into the bloodstream have time to diffuse back into the interstitial fluid, which maintains the solute concentration gradient in the medulla; this passive process is known as counter-current exchange
Answer:
<u>The naming of cancers depends on both the factors.</u>
Explanation:
Different type of cancers are named on the basis of location of its origin.
-carcinoma, -sarcoma, -blastoma are the terms used as suffix, with the Latin or Greek word for the organ or tissue from where it had originated.
For example: Breast cancer is known as Ductal carcinoma of Breasts.
[<u> because it initiates from the tubes(ducts) that carry milk from breasts to the nipples, and carcinoma as suffix</u> ]
