(18) Its size (approximately 30 x 50 nm) and distinct cylindrical shape permit easy visualization in the SEM and TEM.
(19) In the absence of ether, tube restraint (confinement in a cylindrical acrylic tube) increased alpha MSH secretion and decreased intermediate lobe DOPAC concentrations, whereas ether in the absence of physical restraint had no effect.
(20) Type IVa choledochal cysts with cylindrical dilatation of the intrahepatic ducts constitute a relatively less recognized variety of choledochal cysts, and differ from cystic dilatation of intrahepatic ducts in their clinical manifestations and response to treatment.
Filiform
Definition:
(a.) Having the shape of a thread or filament; as, the filiform papillae of the tongue; a filiform style or peduncle. See Illust. of AntennAe.
Example Sentences:
