(a.) Running or extending out; as, an excurrent midrib, one which projects beyond the apex of a leaf; an excurrent steam or trunk, one which continues to the top.
(a.) Characterized by a current which flows outward; as, an excurrent orifice or tube.
Example Sentences:
(1) The most actively proliferating region of the excurrent duct system is zone 3 of the epididymis, whereas the least active region is the ductuli efferentes.
(2) Consequently, the abnormal seminal plasma composition of Sd roosters is attributed to excurrent duct dysfunction.
(3) We conclude that localization of oxytocin in epithelia of the excurrent ducts is a consequence of endocytosis (predominantly receptor mediated) of luminal oxytocin entering in rete testis fluid; however, uptake of blood-borne oxytocin cannot be excluded.
(4) The gross composition of the testicular excurrent duct system of the rat was examined and compared along the length of the duct and with samples of testis, bladder and liver.
(5) The effects of active immunization against luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) on the testis and its excurrent ducts in rats were studied using a synthetic LHRH peptide conjugated to tetanus toxoid (TT), with or without an adjuvant.
(6) The reproductive excurrent ducts and prostate appeared morphologically normal except for the presence of focal accumulations of white blood cells in the connective tissue stroma.
(7) ABP was endocytosed in the ductuli efferentes and caput epididymidis in amounts similar to or greater than other major testicular proteins, and was not spared from endocytosis in the proximal excurrent ducts.
(8) We failed to detect any endocrine cells in other segments of the excurrent duct system and notably not among epididymal epithelium.
(9) Examination of epididymides and vasa deferentia revealed that rouleaux diminished progressively with treatment time and were absent in the excurrent ducts of all males during the eighth and ninth weeks of treatment.
(10) Sperm maturation in the echidna excurrent duct appears simpler than that in most therians examined.
(11) Based on radioimmunoassay data and fluid flow rates for the ram, it was concluded that almost all of the 328 pmol inhibin that enters the ductuli efferentes daily is endocytosed in the proximal parts of the excurrent duct system.
(12) The longevity of spermatozoa in the excurrent ducts was attributed to minimal trauma and damage to the ducts and their vascular and nvere supplies using this new technic.
(13) The objective of this research were twofold: 1) to determine if decreased spermatozoal longevity, a previously reported heritable trait in chickens, was attributable to spermatozoal passage through the excurrent ducts, and 2) to document the morphology of the testicular excurrent ducts from affected roosters.
(14) These differences in histological structure of the hopping mouse excurrent ducts presumably reflect divergence in function of the various regions of the tract.
(15) Epididymal ducts displayed rather drastic atrophic changes, indicating that prolonged immunization may result in irreversible damage to the excurrent ducts and could, therefore, adversely affect the restoration of fertility even after the return of testicular function following decline in the immune response against LHRH.
(16) The physiological role(s) for inhibin, or inhibin-like peptides, in the excurrent duct system remains speculative.
(17) This variation in morphology of the female reproductive tract appears to complement that of the excurrent ducts, accessory sex glands and external genitalia of males of these species of Australian murid rodents.
(18) It would appear that all the effects of removal of a portion of the epididymis cannot be explained by blockage of the excurrent ducts, and a specific endocrine effect of the epididymis on the testis is proposed.
(19) Cellular proliferation was examined in the various regions of the excurrent ducts of the reproductive system of the male golden hamster after colchicine administration.
(20) The evaluation of testicular and excurrent duct tissues via immunofluorescence failed to reveal either IgY or IgA associated with spermatozoa.
Percurrent
Definition:
(a.) Running through the entire length.
Example Sentences:
(1) nov., is proposed for dematiaceous yeasts which produce percurrently proliferating conidiogenous cells.
