  2. Organocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organocatalysis

    In organic chemistry, organocatalysis is a form of catalysis in which the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by an organic catalyst. This "organocatalyst" consists of carbon , hydrogen , sulfur and other nonmetal elements found in organic compounds.

  3. Vasa vasorum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_vasorum

    The converse argument is that generally artery walls are thicker and more muscular than veins as the blood passing through is of a higher pressure. This means that it would take longer for any oxygen to diffuse through to the cells in the tunica adventitia and the tunica media, causing them to need a more extensive vasa vasorum.

  4. Rete mirabile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_mirabile

    A rete mirabile (Latin for "wonderful net"; pl.: retia mirabilia) is a complex of arteries and veins lying very close to each other, found in some vertebrates, mainly warm-blooded ones. The rete mirabile utilizes countercurrent blood flow within the net (blood flowing in opposite directions) to act as a countercurrent exchanger.

  5. Squaramide catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaramide_catalysis

    Within the area of organocatalysis, squaramide catalysis describes the use of squaramides to accelerate and stereochemically alter organic transformations. The effects arise through hydrogen-bonding interactions between the substrate and the squaramide, unlike classic catalysts, and is thus a type of hydrogen-bond catalyst.

  6. Thiourea organocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiourea_organocatalysis

    Schreiner's thiourea, N,N'-bis3,5-bis(trifluormethyl)phenyl thiourea, combines all structural features for double H-bonding mediated organocatalysis: electron-poor; rigid structure; non-coordinating, electron withdrawing substituents in 3,4, and/or 5 position of a phenyl ring; the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl-group is the preferred substituent

  7. Hydrogen-bond catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-bond_catalysis

    Hydrogen-bond catalysis is a type of organocatalysis that relies on use of hydrogen bonding interactions to accelerate and control organic reactions. In biological systems, hydrogen bonding plays a key role in many enzymatic reactions, both in orienting the substrate molecules and lowering barriers to reaction. [ 1 ]

  9. Blood vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel

    The tunica media is thicker in the arteries rather than the veins. The outer layer is the tunica adventitia and the thickest layer in veins. It is entirely made of connective tissue. It also contains nerves that supply the vessel as well as nutrient capillaries (vasa vasorum) in the larger blood vessels.
