In 2007, researchers isolated the adipose gene, which those researchers hypothesize serves to keep animals lean during times of plenty.

Bone tissue is a type of dense connective tissue.

It's also older women with dense tissue.

The next category is scattered fibroglandular densities, followed by heterogeneously dense and extremely dense.

I mean, this is the connective tissue of the human superorganism in action.

Protection of vital organs, e.g., the heart.

The collagen in connective tissue helps tissues resist deformation.

This is a thin, delicate, protective layer of connective tissue.

The main tissue is that which is unique for the specific organ, such as the myocardium, the main tissue of the heart, while sporadic tissues include the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues.

The skin hangs loosely on the body because of the lack of loose connective tissue.

In addition to the milk glands, the breast also is composed of connective tissues (collagen, elastin), white fat, and the suspensory Cooper's ligaments.

Sharks and other cartilaginous fish (skates and rays) have skeletons made of cartilage and connective tissue.

Marfan syndrome (also called Marfan's syndrome) is a genetic disorder of connective tissue.

Epithelium is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

Histology The pineal body consists in humans of a lobular parenchyma of pinealocytes surrounded by connective tissue spaces.

The outermost layer is known as the tunica externa also known as tunica adventitia and is composed of connective tissue made up of collagen fibers.

In the connective tissue deep to the ulcer there is increased vascularity and a mixed inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, histiocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

All tissue types are subtypes of these four basic tissue types (for example, blood cells are classified as connective tissue, since they generally originate inside bone marrow).

You can see, on the right, a mammogram showing a faint tumor, the edges of which are blurred by the dense tissue.

Both tumors and dense breast tissue appear white on a mammogram, and the X ray often can't distinguish between the two.

And then that, in turn, propelled us to look at larger scale projects where this notion of landscape building interface becomes a connective tissue.

And although breast density generally declines with age, up to a third of women retain dense breast tissue for years after menopause.

And her mammogram showed an area of very dense tissue, but her MBI showed an area of worrisome uptake, which we can also see on a color image.

Fibrous proteins are often structural, such as collagen, the major component of connective tissue, or keratin, the protein component of hair and nails.

EDS is caused by a defect in the structure, production, or processing of collagen or proteins that interact with collagen, such as mutations in the COL5A or COL3A genes.

Mammography relies on differences in the appearance of the tumor from the background tissue, and we've seen that those differences can be obscured in a dense breast.

It is composed of dense fibrous tissue, and its inner surface is covered by flattened cells like those present on the surfaces of the pia mater and arachnoid mater.

Breast cancer staging using the TNM system is based on the size of the tumor (T), whether or not the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes (N) in the armpits, and whether the tumor has metastasized (M) (i.e.

This lower density air then rises, and is replaced by cooler, higher density air.

The thick fog blotted out everything.

The inframammary fold, where the lower portion of the breast meets the chest, is an anatomic feature created by the adherence of the breast skin and the underlying connective tissues of the chest the IMF is the lower most extent of the anatomic breast.

From the proximal end of each cartilage the malleus and incus, two of the bones of the middle ear, are developed the next succeeding portion, as far as the lingula, is replaced by fibrous tissue, which persists to form the sphenomandibular ligament.

In mammals the three types are skeletal or striated muscle smooth or non striated muscle and cardiac muscle, which is sometimes known as semi striated.

Those white cliffs are a dense Cambrian limestone.

Cut the cloth on the bias.

How much fabric did you buy?

I need a tissue.

Cartilage is a stiff and inflexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.

But there is something more profound here, something deeper.

Cut the cloth on the bias.

I need a tissue.

A thick fog delayed our flight.

The whole kingdom went into deep mourning linen drapers ran out of black cloth.

And the tissue's very expensive.

And if you cut into an older dinosaur, it's very massive.
