Funding and Support From:
Abstract #1164 MBC 10 Supplement: 201a (1999)
What I Do...
Purpose of the Approach
Outline
Basic Exercises: blood
Human Neutrophil: oil immersion
The Visualized Problem
Measuring the Diameter
Measuring the Area
Variation in Neutrophil Morphology
Extensions
Basic Example: simple tissue measurement
Cross-section of the Gas Exchange Barrier: density histogram
Applied Structure Function Relationships: ìthe facts, just the physiological factsî
More Facts, Maíam...
The Reality of Arterial Blood Flow in the Kidney: vascular cast
Providing Visual Context for Physiological Facts: interlobular artery
Providing Visual Context for Physiological Facts: afferent arteriole
Providing Visual Context for Physiological Facts: efferent arteriole
Blood Flow Visualized
