rete mirabile

In some fish, a rete mirabile fills the swim bladder with oxygen.

He also denied the existence of Galen's rete mirabile.

This network was referred as the Rete Mirabile and is located at the base of the brain.

One of these adaptations is a "rete mirabile" (Latin for "wonderful net").

Ever since, many similar mechanisms have been found in biologic systems, the most notable of these: the Rete mirabile in fish.

There is also no blood vessel countercurrent exchange system (the rete mirabile) in the trunk to limit the loss of metabolic heat to the water.

The rete mirabile allows for an increase in muscle temperature in regions where this network of vein and arteries is found.

Seabirds distill seawater using countercurrent exchange in a gland with a rete mirabile.

The rete mirabile utilizes countercurrent blood flow within the net (blood flowing in opposite directions).

In giraffes, a rete mirabile in the neck equalizes blood pressure when the animal bends down to drink.

Galen's dissections were all on animals - in particular, the rete mirabile is only well developed in ungulates.

In vertebrates, they are called a Rete mirabile, originally the name of an organ in fish gills for absorbing oxygen from the water.

Vesalius also exposed the non-existence structures that had been believed to be in the brain since Galen's (revered) work, such as the rete mirabile.

Galen also believed in the existence of a group of blood vessels he called the rete mirabile, in the carotid sinus .

Dogs possess a rete mirabile, a complex system of intermingled small arteries and veins, in the carotid sinus at the base of their neck.

Unlike the pelagic and bigeye threshers, the common thresher lacks an orbital rete mirabile to protect its eyes and brain from temperature changes.

Also, he discovered the rete mirabile in whales and dolphins, a vascular network that allows these mammals to survive and adapt in ocean depths.

In these cases, the rete mirabile may lower limb temperature and therefore the metabolic requirement for oxygen and nutrients in the tissues of the limb.

The pelagic thresher lacks a rete mirabile, a blood vessel countercurrent exchange system that prevents metabolic heat from being dissipated into the water, inside its trunk.

The strong grip can be held for hours without losing sensation due to the presence of a rete mirabile (network of capillaries), a trait shared among all lorises.

This usually occurs in the limbs, and is made possible through the use of counter-current heat exchangers, such as the rete mirabile found in tuna and certain birds.

A rete mirabile (Latin for 'wonderful net'; plural retia mirabilia) is a complex of arteries and veins lying very close to each other, found in some vertebrates.

To protect its sensitive brain and eyes from the temperature changes accompanying these movements, the bigeye thresher has a vascular exchange system called the rete mirabile around those organs.

In mammals, an elegant rete mirabile in the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli is important in maintaining the hypertonicity of the renal cortex.

Vessels returning from the inner medulla (venulae recti) intersperse themselves in a highly regular fashion among the descending arteriolae recti to form a well organized rete mirabile.
