  2. Primary vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_vein

    From the primary vein, secondary and tertiary veins branch out, [3] forming a network that distributes resources throughout the leaf. The arrangement of veins, including the primary vein, varies among plants. Reticulate venation occurs in dicots, [4] where the primary vein branches into a network; parallel venation is found in monocots, where ...

  3. Leaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf

    In contrast, leaves with reticulate venation have a single (sometimes more) primary vein in the centre of the leaf, referred to as the midrib or costa, which is continuous with the vasculature of the petiole. The secondary veins, also known as second order veins or lateral veins, branch off from the midrib and extend toward the leaf margins.

  4. Cerebral veins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_veins

    3D model of cerebral veins. In human anatomy, the cerebral veins are blood vessels in the cerebral circulation which drain blood from the cerebrum of the human brain.They are divisible into external (superficial cerebral veins) and internal (internal cerebral veins) groups according to the outer or inner parts of the hemispheres they drain into.

  5. Cerebral circulation - Wikipedia

    The veins puncture the relevant dural sinus, piercing the arachnoid and dura mater as bridging veins that drain their contents into the sinus. [5] The deep venous system. The deep venous system is primarily composed of traditional veins inside the deep structures of the brain, which join behind the midbrain to form the great cerebral vein (vein ...

    The primary leaf or leaves of a plant embryo which upon germination develops into the seed-leaf or the first set of leaves. craspedodromous Pinnate venation in which the secondary veins terminate at the margin s, often as teeth. crateriform In the shape of a saucer or shallow cup; hemispherical or more shallow. cremnophyte

    Three swellings (primary brain vesicles), have formed within the embryo around the canal, near to where the head will develop. These swellings represent different components of the central nervous system : the prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), and rhombencephalon (hindbrain). [ 11 ]

    Cross section of celery stalk, showing vascular bundles, which include both phloem and xylem Detail of the vasculature of a bramble leaf Translocation in vascular plants. Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem ...

    Beginning in 1937 Batson began a series of injection experiments investigating the anatomy and physiology of the cerebrospinal venous system. [2] His carefully documented results demonstrated the continuity of the venous systems of the brain and the spine, as injections of contrast dyes into venous systems feeding into the spinal venous plexus led to the appearance of contrast material in the ...
