  2. Arachnoid granulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_granulation

    Arachnoid granulations (also arachnoid villi, and pacchionian granulations or bodies) are small outpouchings of the arachnoid mater and subarachnoid space into the dural venous sinuses of the brain. The granulations are thought to mediate the draining of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space into the venous system .

  3. Kidney bean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_bean

    Kidney beans, cooked by boiling, are 67% water, 23% carbohydrates, 9% protein, and contain negligible fat.In a 100-gram reference amount, cooked kidney beans provide 532 kJ (127 kcal) of food energy, and are a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of protein, folate (33% DV), iron (22% DV), and phosphorus (20% DV), with moderate amounts (10–19% DV) of thiamine, copper, magnesium ...

  4. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_intracranial...

    It has been proposed that a positive biofeedback loop may exist, where raised ICP (intracranial pressure) causes venous narrowing in the transverse sinuses, resulting in venous hypertension (raised venous pressure), decreased CSF resorption via arachnoid granulation and further rise in ICP. [16]

  5. Calvaria (skull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvaria_(skull)

    On either side of it are several depressions for the arachnoid granulations, and at its back part, the openings of the parietal foramina when these are present. It is crossed in front by the coronal suture and behind by the lambdoid suture, while the sagittal suture lies in the medial plane between the parietal bones.

  6. Arachnoid mater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_mater

    The arachnoid mater (or simply arachnoid) is one of the three meninges, the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. It is so named because of its resemblance to a spider web . The arachnoid mater is a derivative of the neural crest mesoectoderm in the embryo.

  7. Phytohaemagglutinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin

    Measured in haemagglutinating units (hau), a raw red kidney bean may contain up to 70,000 hau, but this is reduced to between 200 and 400 hau when properly cooked. [5] Studies by British scientists recommend soaking beans for at least five hours, discarding the water, and then boiling the beans in fresh water at 100 °C (212 °F) for at least ...

  8. Hydrocephalus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocephalus

    This may be due to functional impairment of the arachnoidal granulations (also called arachnoid granulations or Pacchioni's granulations), which are located along the superior sagittal sinus, and is the site of CSF reabsorption back into the venous system. Various neurologic conditions may result in communicating hydrocephalus, including ...
