  2. Cavernous hemangioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_hemangioma

    Cavernous hemangioma, also called cavernous angioma, venous malformation, or cavernoma, [1] [2] is a type of venous malformation due to endothelial dysmorphogenesis from a lesion which is present at birth. A cavernoma in the brain is called a cerebral cavernous malformation or CCM.

    This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water, protein, fats (or lipids), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA. In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, connective tissue, muscle, bone, etc.

    Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a cavernous hemangioma that arises in the central nervous system.It can be considered to be a variant of hemangioma, and is characterized by grossly large dilated blood vessels and large vascular channels, less well circumscribed, and more involved with deep structures, with a single layer of endothelium and an absence of neuronal tissue within the lesions.

  6. Muscular hydrostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_hydrostat

    Closeup of the trunk of an Asian elephant. Muscles provide the force to move a muscular hydrostat. Since muscles are only able to produce force by contracting and becoming shorter, different groups of muscles have to work against each other, with one group relaxing and lengthening as the other group provides the force by contracting.

  7. Hydrostatic skeleton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_skeleton

    Hydrostatic skeletons can be controlled by several different muscle types. Length can be adjusted by longitudinal muscle fibers parallel to the longitudinal axis. The muscle fibers may be found in continuous sheets or isolated bundles, and the diameter can be manipulated by three different muscle types: circular, radial, and transverse. [2]

  8. Corpus cavernosum penis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_cavernosum_penis

    These formations are made of a sponge-like tissue containing trabeculae, irregular blood-filled spaces lined by endothelium and separated by septum of the penis. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The male anatomy has no vestibular bulbs , but instead a corpus spongiosum , a smaller region of erectile tissue along the bottom of the penis, which contains the urethra ...

  9. Cerebellar vermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_vermis

    Both the vermis and the hemispheres are composed of lobules formed by groups of folia. There are nine lobules of the vermis: lingula, central lobule, culmen, clivus, folium of the vermis, tuber, pyramid, uvula and nodule. [9] These lobules are often difficult to observe during human anatomy classes and may vary in size, shape and number of folia.
