What's the difference between lacteal and lactean?
Lacteal
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or resembling, milk; milky; as, the lacteal fluid.
(a.) Pertaining to, or containing, chyle; as, the lacteal vessels.
(n.) One of the lymphatic vessels which convey chyle from the small intestine through the mesenteric glands to the thoracic duct; a chyliferous vessel.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is suggested that the SP and CGRP-containing nerves in problem might be sensory in nature, possibly monitoring mechanical information from the lumen and wall of the central lacteal.
(2) The interconnected central lacteals in the villi overlying the interfollicular area were connected with the lymphatic plexus in the area.
(3) Likewise, a range of behavioural, physiological, lactational and lacteal changes related to other stressors are the effects of different types of stress.
(4) The passage of cells across the lymphatic endothelium of rat lacteals in both normal and non-pathological experimental conditions (fasting, lymphatic, stasis) was studied by means of serial thin sections and three-dimensional models.
(5) In the rats, Pu was retained in the epithelial cells on villi, but in the guinea pigs and primates it was confined to the macrophages under the epithelial cells in the lacteal region.
(6) These particles were present in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and in intercellular spaces and lacteals; they were most abundant in mucosa from mid-jejunum.
(7) These particles, morphologically similar to chylomicrons, were also present as aggregates of well-individualized lipid droplets within dilated vesicles in the Golgi zone, but were not seen in the intercellular spaces and lacteals.
(8) In contrast to these findings, IgM levels were found to be higher in lacteal secretions of first-litter sows and in piglet serum during the first days of life as compared to their counterparts.
(9) Histological and ultrastructural morphometry was performed on villous epithelium, stroma, blood vessels and lacteals at the three levels.
(10) Villi in the upper small intestine were broader than those in the lower small intestine, and contained two to five lacteals.
(11) The presence of a vestigial, lacteal incisor tooth is described in the laboratory rat.
(12) During fat absorption, chylomicrons with sizes up to 5,000-10,000 A must traverse an interstitium that has estimated pore sizes of 120-200 A to reach the lacteals.
(13) Although the above-described findings essentially coincide with our previous observations in canine duodenum (Ichikawa et al., 1991), the present study in the ileum demonstrated occasional nerve fibers protruding into the lacteal lumen with a knob-like swelling.
(14) Epithelial cell islands from fibroadenomas and from normal lacteal secretions completely excluded the fibroblasts, and individual cell territories were maintained even in dense cultures.
(15) Nevertheless, the standard score of weight at six months of age, compared with that previous to the introduction of lacteal supplements, did not differ significantly.
(16) The association between bovine lactoferrin and the major bovine whey proteins, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin and albumin has been studied by immunochemical techniques, gel filtration and affinity chromatography in lacteal secretions and using purified proteins.
(17) The appearance time is defined as the time between placement of radioactive fatty acid into the intestinal lumen and the appearance of radioactive lipid in the central lacteal.
(18) Most of the bulbar structures of the nerve fibers are in contact with or surrounded by the central lacteal endothelial cells.
(19) An entero-mammary cell circulation provides the mechanism for conveying such specificity to the lacteal IgA antibodies.
(20) Individual villi in the lower intestine contained only one central lacteal that drained through a thin lymphatic in the glandular layer into the submucosal lymphatic plexus.
