• peripheral nerves
  11 February 2004

  The principal structural component of peripheral nerve is the nerve fiber (an axon with its Schwann cells and myelin sheath).
  A nerve consists of numerous fibers that are grouped into fascicles by connective tissue sheaths. Myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers are intermingled within the fascicle.
  In the sural nerve, the nerve that is most commonly examined by biopsy and a relatively pure sensory nerve, myelinated fibers range between 2 and 16 μm in diameter and have a bimodal (...)

  Kidney. Adj. renal WKP
  Definition : The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found on the left and right sides of the body in vertebrates. They are located at the back of the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneal space. In adults they are about 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. They receive blood from the paired renal arteries; blood exits into the paired renal veins. Each kidney is attached to a ureter, a tube that carries excreted urine to the bladder.
