vessels of internal ear
blood vessels of the internal ear, consisting of the labyrinthine artery and its branches and the labyrinthine veins and their tributaries.
Synonym: vasa auris internae.
The Lymphatic Vessels of the Mamma originate in a plexus in the interlobular spaces and on the walls of the galactophorous ducts.

four xylem vessels
a group of xylem tracheids.
both carry water and dissolved minerals up the stem.
Lymph vessels are closely associated with the circulatory system vessels. Larger lymph vessels are similar to veins. Lymph capillaries are scatted throughout the body. Contraction of skeletal muscle causes movement of the lymph fluid through valves.
blood vessels (veins) carrying blood from the posterior part of the body to the kidneys. Oxygenated blood is carried to the kidneys by the renal arteries

veins
Vessels which carry blood back to the heart from the tissues. Veins are thin walled and will collapse if empty. They have a series of one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards.
veins Blood vessels conducting blood toward the heart in any animal. Also more heavily sclerotized portions of wings of insects, which are remains of lacunae.
velarium Shelf-like extension of the subumbrella edge in cubozoans (phylum Cnidaria).
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from heart. Arterial walls are able to expand and contract. Arteries have three layers of thick walls.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome connective tissue condition including problems with tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, cartilage, and membranes surrounding blood vessels and nerves. Symptoms include joint laxity, elastic skin, dislocations.
In mammals, which are similar to other complex vertebrates, the renal artery branches into smaller vessels and finally into a capillary tuft called the glomerulus at the entry to each nephron.
All living tissues are amply supplied with capillary vessels, which bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell. As tumors enlarge, the cells in the center no longer receive nutrients from the normal blood vessels.
The core components of your circulatory system are the heart and vessels. You happen to have a four-chambered heart while other organisms may have one, two, or three chambers. The heart is the pump for the system.
After leaving nearby blood vessels, these cells recognize chemicals produced by bacteria in a cut or scratch and migrate "toward the smell".
Just like a city with hallways, and roads, your body has blood vessels, arteries, and veins that help move things around. Most of the cells inside of your body do not move.
Small bean-shaped structures scattered along the vessels of the lymphatic system. The lymph nodes produce white blood cells and filter bacteria and cancer cells that may travel through the system.

Countercurrent exchange mechanism. Mechanism by which two vessels are set side by side, with fluid flowing in opposite directions, allowing efficient uptake and retention of heat, oxygen, or gas, depending upon the type of exchanger ...
(lim-fat-ik)
A system of vessels and lymph nodes, separate from the circulatory system, that returns fluid and protein to the blood.

Unicellular or multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes that generally lack roots, stems, leaves, conducting vessels, and complex sex organs. Formerly, photosynthetic bacteria were also called algae, but this usage is now obsolete.
Masses of splanchnic mesoderm that form the first red blood cells and blood vessels. Found in the gut wall of amphibians and the yolk sac of amniotes.
Recent studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction of peripheral and coronary resistance and conductance vessels represents a strong and independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events.
Tumors need a blood supply for food and oxygen. Cancer cells release growth factors that cause nearby blood vessels to produce branches that grow into the cancerous tissue.

In lower vertebrates, blood vessels formed here become part of the gills; in higher vertebrates derivatives include portions of the jaw and middle ear. Also known as branchial arches, gill arches, or visceral arches.
brain-imaging technique that takes advantage of (1) the fact that magnetic properties of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin are different and can thus be distinguished and (2) the fact that, when a specific part of the brain is active, blood vessels ...
Lignin is what provides the favorable characteristics of wood to the fiber cells of woody tissues and is also common in the secondary walls of xylem vessels, which are central in providing structural support to plants.
The rigidity of these red blood cells and their distorted shape when they are not carrying oxygen can result in blockage of small blood vessels. This blockage can cause episodes of pain and can damage organs.
