What's the difference between fusome and skeletal?
Fusome
Definition:
(a.) Handy; reat; handsome; notable.
Example Sentences:
(1) The secondary spermatogonia of each cyst are joined centrally by persisting fused interzonal bodies (fusomes) of incompletely cleaved cells.
(2) In the primary spermatocytes, the central fusome is replaced by a chain linkage, apparently resulting from the breakdown of the fusome into its original interzonal body components.
(3) The fusomal lips are thickened and consist of electron-dense material and an additional layer of less electron-dense material both inside and outside.
(4) Hitherto unknown intercellular bridges or fusomes between the follicle epithelial cells investing the oocytes of Apis mellifica queens have been observed both with light and electron microscopy.
(5) The function of the compact centrally situated fusome in the secondary spermatogonial cyst is discussed as it relates to synchrony, number of cell divisions, spermatodesm formation, and fertility.
(6) The width of the fusomal ring canal varies in different developmental stages.
(7) The possibilities of modulating the intercellular transfer of informations --- various cell contacts, temporary intercytoplasmic connections (fusomes), the role of mastcells.
(8) These cystocytes contain fusomal material that shows ultrastructural differences from normal polyfusomes.
(9) The two cells that eventually come to contain the maximum number of canals and fusomal material are the ones that differentiate as pro-oocytes, while the others become nurse cells.
Skeletal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the skeleton.
Example Sentences:
(1) It was found that the skeletal muscle enzyme of the chick embryo is independent of the presence of creatine and consequently is another constitutive enzyme like the creatine kinase of the early embryonic chick heart.
(2) The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915), a potent drug from a new class of drugs characterized as "K+ channel openers", on the electrical activity of human skeletal muscle.
(3) It was concluded that the spheno-occipital complex has a close relationship to the skeletal facial pattern and contributes to the facial formation.
(4) Conclusions on phylogenetic trends of sexual dimorphism of skeletal robusticity and the effect of culture on it seem to be premature.
(5) Endogeneous satellite cells in skeletal muscle regenerating from bupivacaine damage were infected with an injected retrovirus containing the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase gene under the promoter control of the Moloney murine leukemia virus long-terminal repeat.
(6) These results indicate that the growth-promoting activity of beta 2m is mediated at least in part by regulating local IGF I binding and synthesis by skeletal cells.
(7) These preliminary experiments suggest that oSm is similar to IGF-I in its binding characteristics and that primary cultures of skeletal muscle satellite cells possess type I and type II IGF receptors.
(8) Special conditions apply for the scoring of a first and a last bone stage in a sequence, which will introduce less bias in the estimation of individual skeletal maturity with the MAT-method than with the TW-method.
(9) Chick sympathetic nerve fibers densely innervate expansor secundariorum muscle, but not skeletal muscle.
(10) The first method used an accelerometer mounted between the teeth of one of the authors (PR) to record skeletal shock.
(11) Three of the tumours represented primary soft tissue lesions, while locally recurrent tumour or pulmonary metastases were studied from the 4 skeletal tumours, all of which had been diagnosed previously as Ewing's sarcomas.
(12) The intra cellular free amino acid concentrations of skeletal muscle were determined in tissue specimens obtained before operation and on the third postoperative day using a percutaneous needle biopsy technique.
(13) In this article we present a synthesis of recent information concerning the fate of lactate in skeletal muscle.
(14) It is suggested that this human model of unloading could serve to simulate effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle mass and function because reductions in muscle mass and strength were of similar magnitude to those produced by bed rest.
(15) We review here various ways in which cardiac assistance might be derived from a patient's own skeletal muscle.
(16) Skeletal muscle mtDNA of three patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, characterized clinically by myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fiber (MERRF) syndrome, has been sequenced to determine the underlying molecular defect(s).
(17) The soleus, deep portions of the vastus lateralis, and superficial portions of the vastus lateralis muscles were examined to represent slow-twitch-oxidative, fast-twitch-oxidative-glycolytic, and fast-twitch-glycolytic skeletal muscle fiber types, respectively.
(18) Overall, the differences in skeletal muscle energy state during rest and the corresponding changes in concentration of high-energy phosphates during mild exercise suggest a very limited energy reserve in the hypotonic muscle of VLBW infants.
(19) The contents of magnesium, potassium and zinc plasma did not correlate with the corresponding concentrations in skeletal muscle or circulating blood cells, as investigated in healthy controls, diabetics and in all subjects together, implying that the plasma concentrations are not useful in the assessment of electrolyte status.
(20) The activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT), a membrane-bound enzyme, was assayed by a sensitive fluorometric method in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle and serum of normal and dystrophic hamsters and mice.
