These bumps, called Montgomery's
Tubercles, are thought to excrete a substance that lubricates the areola and nipple.
These bumps are called glands of Montgomery or Montgomery's
tubercles.
You wouldn't be able to tell if your baby is a boy or a girl from an ultrasound, although the genital
tubercle is formed.
They are called Montgomery's
tubercles.
In the later part of the first trimester and the early part of the second trimester, the sagittal sign for a boy is that the genital
tubercle points upward.
An ultrasound done before this relies not necessarily on external genitalia but on the direction of the genital
tubercle, depending on how early the ultrasound is performed.
The sagittal sign in the late first trimester and early second trimester for a girl is that the genital
tubercle points downward.
Montgomery's
tubercles might also cause women to stop and stare in the mirror every morning.
You may also notice an increase in the size and number of «Montgomery's
tubercles» which are small bumps on the areola.
The appearance of Montgomery
tubercles is not a sure sign of pregnancy, but if these bumps appear out of nowhere and you are experiencing other pregnancy symptoms, there is a good chance that you are pregnant.
You may also notice a darkening of the areolas along with Montgomery
tubercles.
These are Montgomery's
tubercles and are not a cause for concern.
These bumps, called Montgomery's
tubercles, were always there, but now they're gearing up to produce more oils that lubricate your nipples once baby starts suckling.
The new species is readily distinguished from all other species of Psychrophrynella but P. bagrecito and P. usurpator by possessing
a tubercle on the inner edge of the tarsus, and from these two species by its yellow ventral coloration on abdomen and limbs.
By October, the Canadian industrial fan maker Envira - North Systems expects to begin producing the first
tubercle - inspired product — wavy blades for ceiling fans up to 24 feet in diameter.
The trick is in
the tubercles, or bumps, along the flippers, says Frank Fish, president of the company WhalePower.
Wind tunnel tests published by Fish and by Duke University fluid dynamics expert Laurens Howle in 2004 showed that adding
tubercle - like bumps to model fins pushed back the stall angle by as much as 40 percent.
It belongs to a group of rodentlike mammals called multituberculates, named for the numerous cusps, or
tubercles, found on their teeth.
They found that 65 percent of
tubercle cells from 23 anesthetized mice were activated by at least one of five odors — an important finding in its own, because no one knew if
tubercle cells could discriminate odors, a process thought to be exclusive to the part of the brain known as the piriform cortex.
«I was simply trying to find the way the olfactory
tubercle responds to odors,» he says, referring to a structure at the base of the brain that was implicated in odor detection only in 2004.
The tubercles fluoresce under UV light to form distinct patterns that represent certain species or species groups.
In addition, the males in most species of the genus Calumma have significantly more fluorescent
tubercles than the females.
The tissue analyses yielded another surprise: «Our histological 3D reconstruction shows that the skin covering
the tubercles on the skull is very thin and consists only of a transparent layer of epidermis, «explains Dr. Martin Heß from the BioCenter of Ludwig - Maximilians - Universität (LMU) in Munich.
Munich researchers have now found that the bony
tubercles on the heads of many species fluoresce under UV light and form impressive patterns.
The animation shows the inconspicuous
tubercles in sunlight, the fluorescent pattern under UV light, and the underlying bone
tubercles, which are based on a micro-CT model of the skull.
Mark Murray, engineer at the U.S. Naval Academy, found that the saw - tooth - like bumps (called
tubercles) running up the edge of a humpback whale's fin make the creatures perform better in low - flow water.
The human burden of tuberculosis caused by the bovine
tubercle bacillus is still largely unknown.
The bumps are called Montgomery
tubercles; they secrete oil (produced by glands beneath the skin) that helps lubricate the areola and nipple during pregnancy and lactation.
The long head originates (starts) on the infraglenoid
tubercle of the scapula which means that is crosses the shoulder joint.
Oblique Muscle originates (starts) on the external surfaces of the lower 8 ribs, and it inserts (finishes) on the linea alba, pubic
tubercle, and the anterior half of the iliac crest.
This head of the deltoid muscle arises (originates) from the acromion process and inserts into deltoid
tubercle of the humerus.
It extends from the pubic symphysis, pubic crest and pubic
tubercle inferiorly, to the xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs V to VII superiorly.
In contrast, large - scale cadaver studies (Vangness et al., 1994) describe the origin of the long head attaching quite evenly between the supraglenoid
tubercle and the superior glenoid labrum, between 40 - 60 % of the fibers attaching to the supraglenoid
tubercle.
The long head of the biceps has traditionally been described as attaching only to the supraglenoid
tubercle (Hollinshead, 1958).
The subscapularis muscle arises from the inner surface of the scapula and inserts on the anterior humerus at the lesser
tubercle and inferior shoulder capsule.
The long head attaches on the infraglenoid
tubercle — a bony process site on the lateral aspect of the scapula, below the glenoid fossa (shoulder socket).
Although larger prime movers such as the latissimus dorsi and teres major produce large shoulder extension moments, the origin of the long head of the triceps on the infraglenoid
tubercle also permits the involvement of the triceps in producing a shoulder moment.
The adductor magnus originates on the lower portion of the ischial tuberosity and is inserted onto
the tubercle below the medial condyle on the tibia.
Most commonly, the plantar fascia is injured at its attachment point on the medial
tubercle of the calcaneus.
The genesis of this myth is the preponderance of small bumps, called
tubercles, on the skin of most toads.
Warts are caused by viruses, and their similarity to
tubercles is nothing more than that: a similarity.
The Denise is differentiated from the Bargibanti by its smoother look: while the Bagibanti has many
tubercles to match its host Gorgonean fan, the Denise has fewer
tubercles, giving it a smoother appearance.
Knobby protuberances on the head are called
tubercles, each with a long coarse hair growing from its centre which is believed to act as a sensor like a human hair.
