  2. Amacrine cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amacrine_cell

    Around 15% of amacrine cells are neither GABAergic or glycinergic. [2] These amacrine cells are sometimes known as nGnG amacrine cells, and it is thought that transcription factors that act on progenitors decide the fate of amacrine cells. One transcription factor that was found to be selectively expressed in nGnG amacrine cells is Neurod6 [5]

  3. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    Lateral ventricles and horns The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. Each lateral ventricle takes the form of an elongated curve, with an additional anterior-facing continuation emerging inferiorly from a point near the posterior end of the curve; the junction is known as the trigone of the lateral ventricle.

  4. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    lateral ventricles right and left (one for each hemisphere) third ventricle; fourth ventricle; There are several foramina, openings acting as channels, that connect the ventricles. The interventricular foramina (also called the foramina of Monro) connect the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle through which the cerebrospinal fluid can flow.

  5. Protein signalling in heart development - Wikipedia

    Looping also depends on heart specific proteins activated by Nkx2.5 such as Hand1, Hand2, and Xin. Heart chamber formation: The cell fates of the heart chambers are characterized before heart looping but cannot be distinguished until after looping. Hand1 is localized to the left ventricle while Hand2 is localized to the right ventricle.

  6. Subventricular zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subventricular_zone

    The innermost layer (Layer I) contains a single layer (monolayer) of ependymal cells lining the ventricular cavity; these cells possess apical cilia and several basal expansions that may stand in either parallel or perpendicular to the ventricular surface.

  7. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  8. Heart - Wikipedia

    The left atrium is connected to the left ventricle by the mitral valve. [8] The left ventricle is much thicker as compared with the right, due to the greater force needed to pump blood to the entire body. Like the right ventricle, the left also has trabeculae carneae, but there is no moderator band. The left ventricle pumps blood to the body ...

  9. Ventricular zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_zone

    The dorsal telencephalon becomes the cerebral cortex, and contains the Tbr2-labeled cells. CP, cortical plate; LV, lateral ventricle; MGE, medial ganglionic eminence. In vertebrates, the ventricular zone (VZ) is a transient embryonic layer of tissue containing neural stem cells, principally radial glial cells, of the central nervous system (CNS).
