  2. Bone marrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow

    That bone marrow is a priming site for T-cell responses to blood-borne antigens was first described in 2003. [13] Mature circulating naïve T cells home to bone marrow sinuses after they have passed through arteries and arterioles. [14] They transmigrate sinus endothelium and enter the parenchyma which contains dendritic cells (DCs).

  3. Hair cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_cell

    In mammalian outer hair cells, the varying receptor potential is converted to active vibrations of the cell body. This mechanical response to electrical signals is termed somatic electromotility; [13] it drives variations in the cell's length, synchronized to the incoming sound signal, and provides mechanical amplification by feedback to the traveling wave.

  4. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

    Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent haematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [10] [11] [12] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an identical ...

  5. Myeloid tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myeloid_tissue

    Myeloid tissue, in the bone marrow sense of the word myeloid (myelo-+ -oid), is tissue of bone marrow, of bone marrow cell lineage, or resembling bone marrow, and myelogenous tissue (myelo-+ -genous) is any tissue of, or arising from, bone marrow; in these senses the terms are usually used synonymously, as for example with chronic myeloid ...

    Most famous parts of the brain highlighted in different colours. The human brain anatomical regions are ordered following standard neuroanatomy hierarchies. Functional, connective, and developmental regions are listed in parentheses where appropriate.

  8. Cochlea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlea

    Three rows consist of outer hair cells (OHCs) and one row consists of inner hair cells (IHCs). The inner hair cells provide the main neural output of the cochlea. The outer hair cells, instead, mainly 'receive' neural input from the brain, which influences their motility as part of the cochlea's mechanical "pre-amplifier".

  9. Organ of Corti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_of_Corti

    The organ of Corti is located in the scala media of the cochlea of the inner ear between the vestibular duct and the tympanic duct and is composed of mechanosensory cells, known as hair cells. [2] Strategically positioned on the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti are three rows of outer hair cells (OHCs) and one row of inner hair cells ...
