Sometimes, however, the conduit passages are simply abandoned.
Historically it was thought that wet nurses with large breasts were poor milk producers [ 55]. "Overly large breasts usually betrayed a true poverty of milk, for the heavy fat parts impeded the separation of the milk and its free passage through the narrow conduits to the nipples" [[ 55], p52].
Its function includes not only structural support of the body as a whole, but it also serves as a conduit for safe passage of the neural elements while allowing proper interaction with the brain.
They indicated that the cross-sectional area of the narrowest part of the upper airway increased in all dimensions associated with decreased pressure gradient across the whole conduit during the passage of air.
RND efflux pumps are tripartite units that consist of a TolC protein connected to the transporter protein and provides the conduit for the passage of the exported agent to the outside of the bacterium [8].
Thus, it seems reasonable to assume that stroke-induced acute BBB opening, while being part of the pathology, may also be a potential conduit for the passage of therapeutics into the damaged brain.
In contrast to humans, in which ten to fifteen branching ducts connect to the nipple, in the mouse a single primary duct, which can be identified by its proximity to the nipple and the thick sheath of connective tissue, serves as a conduit for the passage of milk to the suckling young.
Micro-channels generated by such folds can serve as conduits for microbial passage.
This reconstruction clearly shows that the conduit is allowing fluid passage without leakage and 3(b)).
Xper-CT reconstructions clearly showed an intact conduit with contrast agent passage into the bladder both in the CT stacks reconstructed in three planes and in 3D surface rendered volumes.
As the main conduit for nutrients and, potentially, a passage for metabolite removal, alterations in the vertebral endplate morphology can decrease or inhibit the transport process [ 7, 20, 23, 24].
