The inner part of the bone – called trabecular bone – is a honey-combed looking type of bone that gives structural strength to areas of the bone more prone to fracture. ❋ Unknown (2006)
This structure is called trabecular or spongy bone because it looks a bit like sponge or honeycomb.
In the lacy interior of the spongy, or trabecular bone tissue, old tissue is broken down by cells called osteoclasts. ❋ Deepak Chopra (2010)
Possibly quite a durable design for the climate; no effort to maintain at all … What appeals to me is the simplified solution to modern trabecular designs. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The traditional surgery is trabeculectomy, in which a portion of the trabecular meshwork is removed, helping to reduce the bottleneck causing elevated eye pressure. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In addition, a suture, or surgical tie, is placed inside the canal and pulled tight to stretch open the trabecular meshwork, says Richard Lewis, a Sacramento, Calif., eye surgeon who serves as a consultant to iScience Interventional Corp., a Menlo Park. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It can even rebuild bone if the trabecular bone architecture in the spine has not been destroyed, just thinned. ❋ Unknown (2008)
There are multiple causes, but one of the most important is elevated eye pressure, which scientists believe is caused by clogging in the trabecular meshwork, tissue that serves as a drainage system for the eye. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In canaloplasty, an incision is made in the eye and a thin catheter is inserted into Schlemm's Canal, a tube in the trabecular meshwork. ❋ Unknown (2008)
No added strength to trabecular bone means no real protection against fracture. ❋ Unknown (2006)
In the past two years our ability to differentiate the trabecular bone network in the hip has helped us to appreciate that the risk to bone during spaceflight may be even greater than we previously anticipated. ❋ Unknown (2006)
In the case of older bones, radiological examinations of the trabecular pattern in the head of the humerus and femur, which remodels with age, would be used, in addition to changes in pubic symphysis. ❋ John Connolly (2002)
Such an effect could account for the marked relaxation of both vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle that accompanies the erectile response and allows for the engorgement of blood in the sinusoidal or trabecular network of blood vessels in the corpus cavernosum. ❋ Unknown (1999)
The capsule is intact and slightly wrinkled, and the parenchyma is pale purple and trabecular. ❋ Connelly, Michael, 1956- (1994)
This cavity is small on the surface of the hemispheres of the brain; on the summit of each gyrus the pia mater and the arachnoid are in close contact; but in the sulci between the gyri, triangular spaces are left, in which the subarachnoid trabecular tissue is found, for the pia mater dips into the sulci, whereas the arachnoid bridges across them from gyrus to gyrus. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Transverse section of the spleen, showing the trabecular tissue and the splenic vein and its tributaries. ❋ Unknown (1918)
This furrow has been named by Arthur Thomson145 the sulcus circularis corneæ it is bounded externally by the trabecular tissue already described as forming the inner wall of the sinus venosus scleræ. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Some of the fibers of this trabecular tissue are continued into the substance of the iris, forming the pectinate ligament of the iris; while others are connected with the forepart of the sclera and choroid. ❋ Unknown (1918)
In a meridional section of this region this sinus presents the appearance of a cleft, the outer wall of which consists of the firm tissue of the sclera, while its inner wall is formed by a triangular mass of trabecular tissue (Fig. 870); the apex of the mass is directed forward and is continuous with the posterior elastic lamina of the cornea. ❋ Unknown (1918)
