The dental canaliculi (sometimes called dentinal tubules) are the blood supply of a tooth. [4] Odontoblast process run in the canaliculi that transverse the dentin layer and are referred as dentinal tubules. [5] The number and size of the canaliculi decrease as the tubules move away from the pulp and toward the enamel or cementum.
The lacrimal canaliculi, several small ducts in the eye; The dental canaliculi, the blood supply within a tooth; Bile canaliculi, where the bile produced by the hepatocytes is drained; Inferior tympanic canaliculus, the passage for the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve and inferior tympanic artery
The lacrimal canaliculi have a mucosa composed of a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium on a basement membrane and a highly elastic lamina propria. Surrounding the mucosa are skeletal muscle fibres continuous with the orbicularis oculi which forms a sort of sphincter. This may facilitate the draining of lacrimal fluid during blinking ...
They are networked to each other via long cytoplasmic extensions that occupy tiny canals called canaliculi, which are used for exchange of nutrients and waste through gap junctions. Although osteocytes have reduced synthetic activity and (like osteoblasts) are not capable of mitotic division, they are actively involved in the routine turnover ...
The lacuna are situated between the lamellae, and consist of a number of oblong spaces.In an ordinary microscopic section, viewed by transmitted light, they appear as fusiform opaque spots.
The lacrimal sac or lachrymal sac [1] is the upper dilated end of the nasolacrimal duct, [2] and is lodged in a deep groove formed by the lacrimal bone and frontal process of the maxilla.
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
A canaliculus is an adaptation found on gastric parietal cells. It is a deep infolding, or little channel, which serves to increase the surface area, e.g. for secretion. The parietal cell membrane is dynamic; the numbers of canaliculi rise and fall according to secretory n
