The image shows how the left ventricle of the human heart can be assessed in terms of its inlet, apical and outlet components. The ventricle has been opened through a superior incision parallel to the anterior interventricular groove. The roof of the ventricle is formed by the area of fibrous continuity between the leaflets of the aortic and mitral...

Type III collagen is abundant in the endo and perimysium of control patient muscle (A and E) but is downregulated in RD muscle (I and M). Abstract Radial dysplasia (RD) is a congenital upper limb birth defect that presents with changes to the upper limb anatomy, including a shortened or absent radius, bowed ulna, thumb malformations, a radially...
We used micro-CT to compare post-cranial skeletal anatomy between the salt marsh and western harvest mouse, to examine whether the salt marsh harvest mouse's restriction to brackish marshes is associated with skeletal adaptations for scansorial locomotion. We found that salt marsh harvest mice exhibited a deeper 3rd caudal vertebra, a more caudally...
Mid-modiolar semi-thin section of a human cochlea with tonotopic estimates based on synchrotron 3-D imaging. Abstract Auditory sensitivity and frequency resolution depend on the optimal transfer of sound-induced vibrations from the basilar membrane (BM) to the inner hair cells (IHCs), the principal auditory receptors. There remains a paucity...
