Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like ...

The adrenal gland medulla makes the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. Phaeochromocytomas can make too much of these hormones . This can cause symptoms including sweating, headaches and high blood ...

For this study, small pieces (3–5 cm3) of postmortem human liver (right central parenchyma), kidney (wedge piece containing cortex and medulla), and brain (frontal cortex) samples were obtained ...

The journey began with efforts to develop methods that would enable physiological studies to be performed in this tiny region of the kidney, which receives only 7% of the total RBF and is surrounded ...

The parenchyma is consisting of the renal cortex and the renal medulla. These form together to create the renal pyramid. Renal columns located between these pyramids. The pyramids covered the nephrons ...

3D animation displaying a cross-section of a kidney, highlighting the cortex, medulla, nephrons, and renal pyramids. Anatomy of human female urinary system 3D animation 3D animation of human female ...

Location and Structure of the Adrenal Glands There are two adrenal glands, each located just above their respective kidney. Proximity to these blood-rich organs ensures the glands have access to a ...

In this paper, a fully automatic method is proposed to segment the kidney into multiple components: renal cortex, renal column, renal medulla and renal pelvis, in clinical 3D CT abdominal images. The ...

Tumors can develop in the cortex or the medulla. Doctors may refer to cancers of the cortex as “adrenal cortex carcinomas” and cancers of the medulla as “neuroblastomas.” ...

The adrenal glands There are 2 adrenal glands, one above each kidney. Adrenal means next to the kidney. The adrenal glands are small but very important. They make hormones that help the body work ...

Anatomy The medulla is the inner part of the kidney. It consists of cone-shaped renal pyramids that contain the blood vessels and tubular structures of nephrons.
