The paratesticular region is a relatively small anatomical compartment containing a disproportionately large number of anatomic structures. In addition to the testicular collecting system there are mesothelial and mesenchymal components representing extensions of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum. The epithelial, mesothelial, and connective tissue elements give rise to a wide variety of ...

All digestive systems perform common functions: breaking down ingested food to its constituent monomers, absorbing these monomers across the alimentary epithelium, and getting rid of indigestible components. The vertebrate digestive tract consists of a longitudinal tube through the body with a common basic wall plan; the length of the tube and the modifications in the wall depend partly on diet...

Sanerkin and Fraser (1975) describte a technique designed to facilitate orientation of blocks and sections (and diminish the workload olWechncian and pathologist) and they refer to the problems inherent in the handling and sectioning of .-cervical cone-biopsies. They effect orientation by means of a stained track made in the anterior lip of the cervix with a needle but the technique in its simp...

introduction. in order to understand the cellular and tissue damages or changes in various diseases, it is imperative to be knowledgeable about the normal structure of different tissues. the histology course, which is taught in the first year of medicine in iran, is supposed to provide such knowledge. in this study, we did evaluate this course for its methods of teaching as well as clinical rel...

Background For basal cell carcinoma (BCC), only few controlled data have been published so far, which directly compare micrographically surgery with conventional serial section histology. In addition to Mohs surgery, uses cryostat sections, also three-dimensional histology (3D-histology), based on paraffin is available ensure complete control of the margins and basic sections. Objectives To inv...

The International Federation of Associations Anatomists (IFAA) are developing core syllabuses for the anatomical sciences by means Delphi panels. In this article, we provide subject matter teaching cell and basic tissues within a medical histology course. goal is to set an international standard providing guidelines such syllabus. panel, composed members across multiple countries, required two ...

background: the northern pike esox lucius is a fresh water species belonging to the esocidae family. it is a carnivorous fish which mostly feeds on invertebrates and fishes. the morphology of its intestine is very useful for understanding the fish’s digestive physiology, diagnosing some intestinal diseases and formulating suitable feeds. objectives: this study was designed to determine the anat...

the gross and microscopic anatomy of the molar salivary gland of the domestic cat was studied. in this research, five pair of molar glandsfrom five male adult cats were used. in cat, the molar gland was elongated rectangle shape and was located obliquely in the submucosal fossa of the inferior lip, near the oral commissure. the dorsal border of the molar gland was attached to the masseter muscl...
