(1) Within the dental papilla , the vessels are mostly orientated toward the cusp, but peripherally, fine-caliber vessels are observed.
(2) The size and shape of the foliate papillae on the posterolateral margins of the tongue are variable.
(3) Red hypertrophic papillae can be found under the upper eyelid.
(4) The internal cusps are bulbous and remain distinct throughout the row, rather than grading into a papillate ridge; the terminal cusp is sometimes barely discernible, appearing instead as a crest.
(5) In older patients obstructive nephropathy, urinary infection and papillary necrosis are common.
(6) Diagnosis is made either by incisional biopsy or fine-needle aspiration, revealing spindle cells and papillary clusters.
(7) The internal row is variable in length, originating at the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth cusp of the middle row; the cusps are large and conspicuous posteriorly, but become smaller anteriorly, eventually grading into a papillate ridge.
(8) The stigma consists of a long band of receptive tissue along the ventral side of the carpel, covered by long unicellular papillae .
(9) The tongue tip is tethered to the end of the mandible by muscles so that as it protrudes it is forced to curl ventrally, presenting the tongue's dorsal, papillose surface anteriorly toward the prey.
(10) The octopod can develop a papillate skin that stiffens for a short period and mimics various structures as a camouflage within its surrounding.
(11) In contrast, C. comptonensis microsporophyll heads have a cutinized hypodermis, and distinctly conical epidermal papillae with pointed apices.
(12) The stroma of the papillary fronds consisted of loose fibrous tissue with abundant, thin-walled, congested blood vessels.
(13) Bronchoscopic washings and biopsies were positive for papillary adenocarcinoma, with evidence of pleural involvement.
(14) Gross and histologic examination of the excised specimen revealed a pancreatic serous cystadenoma with multifocal papillae .
(15) The labellum, which is articulated at the base of the column, is trilobed, reddish-brown spotted and papillose with acute lateral lobes.
(16) They also function as nectar secretion and storage organs; the inside surfaces of these u2018cupsu2019 are strikingly papillate , probably indicating the site of nectar secretion.
(17) When the flower opens, styles are short and the stigma papillae are undeveloped; pollen grains do not adhere.
(18) In these plants, some sepals showed homeotic transformations to carpels, becoming fused and presenting ovules and stigmatic papillae .
(19) In B. ipanemense, B. involutum and B. weddellii the papillose epidermal cells were densely stained, with basal nuclei and many droplets, as well as amyloplasts.
(20) Amanda has papillary thyroid carcinoma and is seriously ill.
(21) As the pollen presenters aged, the stigmatic papillae separated further forming a definite slit or groove.
(22) A total of 75 taxa were examined for floral papillae and/or trichomes using light microscopy and/or low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy.
(23) Both cone types are of comparable size with helically arranged, imbricate microsporophylls, and have microsporophyll head abaxial cuticles with a thicker papillate central region and a thinner, nonpapillate marginal region.
(24) In M. meleagris, a species thought to be closely related to members of the M. cucullata alliance, the labellum is papillose and the conical papillae which have pointed tips resemble those of M. densa.
(25) The results impressively demonstrated the importance of roughening on different length scales for water-repellency, since extremely papillose surfaces, having an additional wax layer, are able to resist up to 70% methanol.
