Mar 17, 2022 · Did you know you have tiny tunnels in your head? That's OK, no one else did either until recently! But that's exactly what a team of medical researchers confirmed in mice and humans in 2018 – tiny channels that connect skull bone marrow to the lining of the brain.

Aug 27, 2018 · According to a new study of mice and humans, tiny tunnels run from skull bone marrow to the lining of the brain and may provide a direct route for immune cells responding to injuries caused by stroke and other brain disorders. The study was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health and published in Nature Neuroscience.

Sep 20, 2005 · Scientists have found what appears to be a whole new way for immune cells to communicate with one another: long, narrow tubes that enable them to connect and exchange molecules. In this month's issue of Immunity, they report that such tubes, called tunneling nanotubules (TNT), may help explain how immune responses can be initiated so rapidly.

Chapter 2: What Is the Nervous System’s Functional Anatomy? A hole through a bone is called what? What term describes a tunnel or tube through a bone? An elongated hole or cleft is referred to as what? A hallow cavity within a bone is called what? An extension of a bone at an angle is referred to as a (n)...

In the human body, the carpal tunnel or carpal canal is a flattened body cavity on the flexor (palmar/volar) side of the wrist, bounded by the carpal bones and flexor retinaculum. It forms the passageway that transmits the median nerve and the tendons of the extrinsic flexor muscles of the hand from the forearm to the hand . [ 1 ]

Abstract— This paper illustrates the mechanism and importance of a fully automatic disinfection tunnel to decontaminate the external surfaces of the human body like clothes and visible body parts to protect the human body from the COVID-19 virus.

Apr 13, 2024 · The findings suggest that the human OC and cochlear partition are intriguingly well designed to receive and transduce the essential components of human speech, thereby acting as a supreme speech decoder (Figure 17g).

Human bodies bring complexity for channel modeling, and directly affect the performance of the wireless communication systems. In this letter, channel measurements, simulations, and modeling are carried out in a curved tunnel scenario with several human bodies.
