discoidal

Examples of discoidal in the following topics:

• Regulation of Blood Cholesterol Levels

  • Since cholesterol is insoluble in blood, it is transported in the circulatory system within lipoproteins , which are complex discoidal particles that have an exterior composed of amphiphilic proteins and lipids whose outward-facing surfaces are water-soluble and inward-facing surfaces are lipid-soluble; triglycerides and cholesterol esters are carried internally.

• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

  • Some may exhibit thick, red scaly patches on the skin (referred to as discoid lupus).

• Beadwork and Ceramics in the Eastern Woodland Cultures

  • Beadwork was very popular in this region, and Indigenous peoples produced barrel-shaped and discoidal shell beads, as well as perforated small whole shells.
