  2. Microfibril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfibril

    A microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose.It is usually, but not always, used as a general term in describing the structure of protein fiber, e.g. hair and sperm tail.

  3. Fibril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibril

    Cellulose chains are observed to align in overlapping parallel arrays, with the similar polarity forming a cellulose microfibril. In plants, these cellulose microfibrils arrange themselves into layers, formally known as lamellae, and are stabilized in the cell wall by surface, long cross-linking glycan molecules. Glycan molecules increase the ...

  4. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The direction of the microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA). In the secondary cell wall of fibres of trees a low microfibril angle is found in the S2-layer, while S1 and S3-layers show a higher MFA . However, the MFA can also change depending on the loads on the tissue. It has been shown that in reaction wood the MFA in S2-layer can ...

  5. Myofibril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofibril

    A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) [1] is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell. [2] Skeletal muscles are composed of long, tubular cells known as muscle fibers, and these cells contain many chains of myofibrils. [3]

  6. Fibrillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrillin

    Fibrillin-1 is a major component of the microfibrils that form a sheath surrounding the amorphous elastin.It is believed that the microfibrils are composed of end-to-end polymers of fibrillin.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies.Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary.

  8. Anatomical terms of microanatomy - Wikipedia

    The submucosa consists of a dense and irregular layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves branching into the mucosa and muscular layer.It contains the submucous plexus, and enteric nervous plexus, situated on the inner surface of the muscular layer.

  9. Elastic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_fiber

    Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome, Menkes disease, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, and Marfan's syndrome have been associated with defects in copper metabolism and lysyl oxidase or defects in the microfibril (defects in fibrillin, or fibullin for example). Hurler disease, a lysosomal storage disease, is associated with an altered elastic matrix.
