  2. Mucoid plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucoid_plaque

    Practicing physicians have dismissed the concept of mucoid plaque as a hoax and a "non-credible concept". [4] A pathologist at the University of Texas School of Medicine addressed Anderson's claims directly, saying that he has "seen several thousand intestinal biopsies and have never seen any 'mucoid plaque.' This is a complete fabrication with ...

  3. Mucus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucus

    Mucus is made up of a fluid component of around 95% water, the mucin secretions from the goblet cells, and the submucosal glands (2–3% glycoproteins), proteoglycans (0.1–0.5%), lipids (0.3–0.5%), proteins, and DNA. [7] The major mucins secreted – MUC5AC and MUC5B - are large polymers that give the mucus its rheologic or viscoelastic ...

    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.

  5. Mucoadhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucoadhesion

    Mucoadhesion involves several types of bonding mechanisms, and it is the interaction between each process that allows for the adhesive process. The major categories are wetting theory, adsorption theory, diffusion theory, electrostatic theory, and fracture theory. [5]

    The number of bones varies according to the method used to derive the count. While some consider certain structures to be a single bone with multiple parts, others may see it as a single part with multiple bones. [5] There are five general classifications of bones. These are long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones.

  7. Mucopolysaccharidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucopolysaccharidosis

    Thickened skin and mild changes in facial features, bone, and skeletal structures become noticeable with age. Growth in height usually stops by age 10. Other problems may include narrowing of the airway passage in the throat and enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids , making it difficult to eat or swallow.

  8. Ossein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossein

    Ossein is the organic extracellular matrix of bone, which is made of 95% collagen.This substance is used in industry for the production of gelatin and bone glue.. In the early 20th century, bones were found to consist of three types of proteins: ossein (collagens), osseomucoid (proteoglycans) and osseoalbuminoid (). [1]

  9. Muscularis mucosae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscularis_mucosae

    The muscularis mucosae (or lamina muscularis mucosae) is a thin layer of muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, located outside the lamina propria, and separating it from the submucosa. It is present in a continuous fashion from the esophagus to the upper rectum (the exact nomenclature of the rectum's muscle layers is still being debated).
