  2. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Blood is a complex liquid. Blood is composed of plasma and formed elements.The plasma contains 91.5% water, 7% proteins and 1.5% other solutes. The formed elements are platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells.

  3. Cell migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_migration

    The migration of cultured cells attached to a surface or in 3D is commonly studied using microscopy. [7] [8] [5] As cell movement is very slow, a few μm/minute, time-lapse microscopy videos are recorded of the migrating cells to speed up the movement.

  4. Motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motility

    Cell division. All cells can be considered motile for having the ability to divide into two new daughter cells. [1] Motility is the ability of an organism to move independently using metabolic energy. This biological concept encompasses movement at various levels, from whole organisms to cells and subcellular components.

  5. Cytolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytolysis

    Cytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell. Water can enter the cell by diffusion through the cell membrane or through selective membrane channels called aquaporins, which greatly facilitate the flow of water. [ 1 ]

  6. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    Intracellular transport is the movement of vesicles and substances within a cell. Intracellular transport is required for maintaining homeostasis within the cell by responding to physiological signals. [1] Proteins synthesized in the cytosol are distributed to their respective organelles, according to their specific amino acid’s sorting ...

  7. Leukocyte extravasation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocyte_extravasation

    Neutrophils extravasate from blood vessels to the site of tissue injury or infection during the innate immune response.. In immunology, leukocyte extravasation (also commonly known as leukocyte adhesion cascade or diapedesis – the passage of cells through the intact vessel wall) is the movement of leukocytes (white blood cells) out of the circulatory system (extravasation) and towards the ...

  8. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

  9. Microcirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcirculation

    Most vessels of the microcirculation are lined by flattened cells of the endothelium and many of them are surrounded by contractile cells called pericytes.The endothelium provides a smooth surface for the flow of blood and regulates the movement of water and dissolved materials in the interstitial plasma between the blood and the tissues.
