  2. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    The mother centriole just aids in the accumulation of materials required for the assembly of the daughter centriole. [17] Centrosome (shown by arrow) next to nucleus. Centrioles, however, are not required for the progression of mitosis. When the centrioles are irradiated by a laser, mitosis proceeds normally with a morphologically normal spindle.

  3. Centriole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole

    3D rendering of centrioles showing the triplets. In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. [1] Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells, but are not present in conifers (), flowering plants (angiosperms) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and Ginkgo.

  4. Pericentriolar material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericentriolar_material

    Pericentriolar material (PCM, sometimes also called pericent matrix) is a highly structured, [1] dense mass of protein which makes up the part of the animal centrosome that surrounds the two centrioles. The PCM contains proteins responsible for microtubule nucleation and anchoring [2] including γ-tubulin, pericentrin and ninein.

  5. Basal body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_body

    Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets (see structure at bottom center of image). A basal body (synonymous with basal granule , kinetosome , and in older cytological literature with blepharoplast ) is a protein structure found at the base of a eukaryotic ...

    According to Kukushkin, the memories stored in non-brain cells in other parts of the body are memories strictly related to the roles that those specific cells play in human health. Thus, he detailed:

  7. Matrix (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(biology)

    In biology, matrix (pl.: matrices) is the material (or tissue) in between a eukaryotic organism's cells. The structure of connective tissues is an extracellular matrix. Fingernails and toenails grow from matrices. It is found in various connective tissues. It serves as a jelly-like structure instead of cytoplasm in connective tissue.

    Grip strength is a measure of how tightly you can hold onto an object in your hand and how long you can firmly grasp it. Experts explain how to build your grip strength.

  9. Sperm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm

    Some animals (including humans and bovines) have a single typical centriole, the proximal centriole, as well as a second centriole with atypical structure. [11] Mice and rats have no recognizable sperm centrioles. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a single centriole and an atypical centriole named the proximal centriole-like. [39]
