  2. Symmetry in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_biology

    Symmetry in biology refers to the symmetry observed in organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. External symmetry can be easily seen by just looking at an organism. For example, the face of a human being has a plane of symmetry down its centre, or a pine cone displays a clear symmetrical spiral pattern.

  4. List of interstitial cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interstitial_cells

    Interstitial cell refers to any cell that lies in the spaces between the functional cells of a tissue. Examples include: Interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC) Leydig cells, cells present in the male testes responsible for the production of androgen (male sex hormone) A portion of the stroma of ovary; Certain cells in the pineal gland; Renal ...

  5. INAH 3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INAH_3

    INAH-3 is the short form for the third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus, and is the sexually dimorphic nucleus of humans. The INAH-3 is significantly larger in males than in females regardless of age [1] and larger in heterosexual males than in homosexual males and heterosexual females. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateria

    Bilateria (/ ˌ b aɪ l ə ˈ t ɪər i ə /) [5] is a large clade of animals characterised by bilateral symmetry during embryonic development.This means their body plans are laid around a longitudinal axis with a front (or "head") and a rear (or "tail") end, as well as a left–right–symmetrical belly and back surface.

  7. Leydig cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leydig_cell

    [10] [11] No other interstitial cell within the testes has a nucleus or cytoplasm with these characteristics, making identification relatively easy. While any age is susceptible to a Leydig cell tumour, Leydig cell tumours are more common in people aged 5 to 10 and 30 to 35. [12] A Leydig cell tumour in a child usually causes precocious puberty ...

  8. Interstitial cell of Cajal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_cell_of_Cajal

    Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are interstitial cells found in the gastrointestinal tract.There are different types of ICC with different functions. ICC and another type of interstitial cell, known as platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) cells, are electrically coupled to smooth muscle cells via gap junctions, that work together as an SIP functional syncytium.

  9. Asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetry

    Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). [1] Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. [2]
