What's the difference between vascular and vascularity?

Vascular


Definition:

  • (a.) Consisting of, or containing, vessels as an essential part of a structure; full of vessels; specifically (Bot.), pertaining to, or containing, special ducts, or tubes, for the circulation of sap.
  • (a.) Operating by means of, or made up of an arrangement of, vessels; as, the vascular system in animals, including the arteries, veins, capillaries, lacteals, etc.
  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the vessels of animal and vegetable bodies; as, the vascular functions.
  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the higher division of plants, that is, the phaenogamous plants, all of which are vascular, in distinction from the cryptogams, which to a large extent are cellular only.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Using mini-pigs with an indwelling vascular catheter, the pharmacokinetics of chloramphenicol were investigated in healthy and liver-damaged animals.
  • (2) The vascular endothelium is capable of regulating tissue perfusion by the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor to modulate vasomotor tone of the resistance vasculature.
  • (3) Peripheral vascular surgery has become an increasingly common mode of treatment in non-university, community hospitals in Sweden during the last decade.
  • (4) This study compared the non-invasive vascular profiles, coagulation tests, and rheological profiles of 46 consecutive cases of low-tension glaucoma with 69 similarly unselected cases of high-tension glaucoma and 47 age-matched controls.
  • (5) Thus adrenaline, via pre- and post-junctional adrenoceptors, may contribute to enhanced vascular smooth muscle contraction, which most likely is sensitized by the elevated intracellular calcium concentration.
  • (6) The present study examined whether the lack of chronic hemodynamic effects of ANP in control rats was due to changes in vascular reactivity to the peptide.
  • (7) Radioligand binding studies revealed the presence of a single class of high-affinity (Kd = 2-6 X 10(-10) M) binding sites for ET-1 in both cells, although the maximal binding capacity of cardiac receptor was about 6- to 12-fold greater than that of vascular receptor.
  • (8) After vascular injury, smooth muscle cells proliferate, reaching a maximum rate at day 2.
  • (9) Hexamethonium abolished vasodilatation in the hindquarters vascular bed only.
  • (10) The fibrous matrix and cartilage formed within the nonunion site transformed to osteoid and bone with increased vascularity.
  • (11) The operative arteriograms confirmed vascular occlusive phenomenon.
  • (12) An inverse relationship between the pumping capacity of the heart and vascular resistance was confirmed at different stages of examination and treatment of the patients.
  • (13) The capillary-adipocyte distances were shorter and the vascularization density was higher in old rats.
  • (14) When nifedipine was combined with ouabain the elevation of vascular resistance was completely abolished.
  • (15) A retrospective review was undertaken of 127 lower extremity fasciotomies performed for compartment syndrome after acute ischemia and revascularization in 73 patients with vascular trauma and 49 patients with arterial occlusive disease.
  • (16) It inhibits platelet and vascular smooth muscle activation by cGMP-dependent attenuation of the agonist-induced rise of intracellular free Ca2+.
  • (17) Base-line HPV was determined by measuring the change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) while sheep breathed 12% O2 for 7 min.
  • (18) The chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model was used to study vascular effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia (HPT) and the synergism of these modalities.
  • (19) For obstruction of greater than or equal to 50% of the pulmonary vascular cross-sectional area and pulmonary hypertension thrombolytic therapy should be given and insertion of an inferior caval filter can be considered.
  • (20) It is concluded that a Na-H antiport system in vascular smooth muscle regulates Na influx rate, contributes to intracellular pH regulation and influences basal levels of Na,K-pump activity.
