Funic souffle (also known as funicular or fetal souffle), is a blowing sound heard in synch with fetal heart sounds, and may originate from the umbilical cord. It has also been described as a sharp, whistling sound that is synchronous with the pulse of the foetus, usually heard during the second trimester of pregnancy (13–28 weeks). [ 3 ]
in insect antennae, the funicle is the segment connecting the club with the base; in flowering plants, the funiculus is the stalk that attaches an ovule to the placenta; in mycology, the funicular cord is a sticky trailing thread that attaches the peridioles (the "eggs") to the peridium (the "nest") in some species of bird's nest fungi
The first heart sound, or S 1, forms the "lub" of "lub-dub" and is composed of components M 1 (mitral valve closure) and T 1 (tricuspid valve closure). Normally M 1 precedes T 1 slightly.
A funiculus is a small bundle of axons (nerve fibres), enclosed by the perineurium.A small nerve may consist of a single funiculus, but a larger nerve will have several funiculi collected together into larger bundles known as fascicles.
Nazaré Funicular in Nazaré, Portugal – a two-rail funicular There are three main rail layouts used on funiculars; depending on the system, the track bed can consist of four, three, or two rails. Early funiculars were built to the four-rail layout, with two separate parallel tracks and separate station platforms at both ends for each vehicle.
Subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord, also known as myelosis funiculus, or funicular myelosis, [1] also Lichtheim's disease, [2] [3] and Putnam-Dana syndrome, [4] refers to degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns of the spinal cord as a result of vitamin B 12 deficiency (most common).
Standard anatomical terms of location are used to describe unambiguously the anatomy of animals, including humans. The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position. This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on.
Analogies between the hanging chains and standing structures: an arch and the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome (Giovanni Poleni, 1748). In architecture, the funicular curve (also funicular polygon, funicular shape, from the Latin: fūniculus, "of rope" [1]) is an approach used to design the compression-only structural forms (like masonry arches) using an equivalence between the rope with ...
