colon could provide some of the contributory
explanations for male gender predisposition The ...
Comparative regional morphometric changes in human uterine artery before and during pregnancy
(2012)
INTRODUCTION:
Uterine artery undergoes structural modifications at different physiologic states. It is expected that due to its unique course, hemodynamic stresses in the vessel would vary resulting in differences in ...

(2010)
Atlas bridges are bony outgrowths over the third segment of the vertebral artery. They may exist as incipient, incomplete, or complete bridges, converting the groove into a deep sulcus, incomplete, or complete foramen ...
Age changes in the structure of human atrioventricular annuli
(2012)
Atrioventricular annuli are important in hemodynamic stability and support to tricuspid and mitral valves. Anatomical features of the annuli such as circumference, organization of connective tissue fibers, myocardium and ...
Sex variations in the structure of human atrioventricular annuli
(2012-02)
Atrioventricular annuli are important in haemodynamic flexibility, competence, and support for tricuspid and mitral valves. The anatomical features of the annuli, such as circumference, organisation of connective tissue ...
