The atheromatous plaques (yellow) in the wall of the coronary artery cause coronary disease. in the zoom of the coronary vessel, a thrombus forms at the bottom right, in contact with the blood by platelet aggregation. Treatments act on platelets to prevent platelet aggregation, on the secretion of aldosterone by the kidneys and adrenals, but also upstream, on the liver by limiting the synthesis of cholesterol at the origin of atheromatous plaques.3D Isometrische flache konzeptionelle Illustration von Nasenschleimhautzellen, medizinisches Lehrdiagrammbr3D-Isometrische flache konzeptionelle Illustration von Nasenschleimhautzellen, medizinisches Lehrdiagramm 3D Isometric Flat Conceptual Illustration of Nasal Mucosa Cells, Medical Educational Diagram 3D Isometric Flat Conceptual Illustration of Nasal Mucosa Cells, Medical Educational Diagram Copyright: xZoonar.com/AnastasiiaxTorianykx 22973347Cut of skin with its different components such as follicles, hairs.Crohn's disease: small intestine with inflammation of the lining.Cross-section of the epidermis of a dark phototype skin with many grains of melanin.Anatomy of the hen's reproductive system with ovary, follicles, infundibulum and cloaca.Illustration of skin tanning under the effect of the suns ultraviolet rays. Melanocytes (green cells in the epidermis) produce melanin, a pigment that absorbs ultraviolet rays. Melanin travels in melanosomes that migrate towards keratinocytes, placing themselves on their nucleus to protect their DNA and prevent genetic mutations due to the sun. Melanin makes the skin browner, thicker and more resistant to ultraviolet rays.

In the centre of the image: a cross-section illustration of young skin enabling a comparison with different types of ageing: -Top left illustrates the dulling of the epidermis, the skin is dry and cutaneous microrelief is irregular, causing the skin to become permeable to pollutants and dehydration. Superficial microcirculation is less good; skin cells become less oxygenated. -Top right illustrates spots. If they are brown it is due to melanin deposits, when red it is due to superficial microcirculation vessels, which are dilated. -Bottom left illustrates the loss of firmness due to diminished activity of the fibroblasts (blue). Fibroblasts are responsible for skins elasticity, producing elastin and collagen -Bottom right illustrates wrinkles due to the deterioration of collagen (white vertical) and elastin (pink horizontal) fibers.The organ of olfaction with the olfactory bulb, supporting cells.Penetration and duplication of the AIDS virus in the host cell.Eye, cataract, phacoemulsification: consists of breaking the lens with a probe.Spermatogenesis, male genitals and the formation of sperm in the testes.Spermatogenesis: male genitals and the formation of sperm in the testes.Illustration of fertilisation, the journey of the embryo in the fallopian tube and its transformation, until its implantation in the uterine lining.Process of muscle's stiffness and pain / circle type illustrationProstatic adenoma, drawingCut of skin of the palm of the hand, armpit and the rest of the body.Ganglion in section: support for illustration on immunity and immune reactions.A cross-section illustration of bone showing its structure.Structure of a healthy dorsal vertebra with spongy and compact tissue.Illustration comparing healthy skin and skin affected by eczema. In the case of eczema, keratinocytes are destroyed which leads to red patches (inflammation), along with itchiness, peeling and sometimes blisters. The causes of eczema are : -irritants -emotional disturbance -changes in temperature or humidity -skin infectionsAtherosclerosis, illustration.Development of cancerous tumor: The tumor continues to grow.Illustration of lumbar vertebrae.Colorized normal lateral abdomen x-ray of a 9 day old girl.

Spontaneous fertilization takes place at 37° during incubation. On the right: IVF ICSI: having taken and prepared the sperm and ovules in a favorable embryo culture environment, a spermatozoon is injected into the ovules cytoplasm. After a 48-hour incubation period, the fertilized egg becomes an embryo which can be transferred to the uterus. Several embryos are be obtained, two or three of which will be transferred to the uterus. The others are frozen and transferred later if the couple so wishes.Breast ultrasound, conceptual illustration.Urinary system from kidney to glomerulus with structures of kidney and ureter.long bone microscopic view anatomy 3d illustration. long bone microscopic view anatomySpore-forming parasite (Microsporidia), computer illustration.Synapse with neurotransmitters isolated on white background.Functioning of the macule: organ of static balance (position of the head).Regeneration of nerves following a transplant.Bronchial mucosa with chorion, ciliated epithelial cells.Illustration of both types of diabetes. On the left, glucose absorption in a healthy individual : insulin (yellow) latches into an insulin receptor (green), which opens the glucose transporter (pink), and allows the cell to absorb the glucose (purple). In the middle, type 1 diabetes : insulin is not produced so cells cannot open their glucose transporters. They dont absorb the glucose, lack sugar to function and blood sugar levels increase. On the right, type 2 diabetes : cells become resistant to insulins action which is no longer recognised by insulin receptors, limiting glucose absorption which then accumulates in the blood causing hypoglycemia.Illustration of the anatomical forms of congenital esophageal atresia and congenital tracheoesophageal fistula.

This illustration shows a horizontal section through the shaft of a long bone in children. The medullary cavity in the center is narrow. It is surrounded by resorbed bone tissue (dark beige). Then this tissue is surrounded by new bone tissue (light beige). Bone progression goes from the resorbed tissue to the outside of the bone. The bone reaches its final ossification between the ages of 18 and 25. Finally, the bone is covered on the outside by the periosteum (pinkish brown). (Photo by: JACOPIN/BSIP/UIG)
