white pulp

Examples of white pulp in the following topics:

• Spleen

  • Red pulp is the site of blood filtration in the spleen.
  • White pulp is secondary lymphoid tissue that is similar to that in the adenoid tonsils.
  • Antigens are also filtered by the red pulp, which may be presented to naive lymphocytes in the white pulp of the spleen.
  • This causes modest increases in circulating white blood cells and platelets, diminished responsiveness to some vaccines, and increased susceptibility to infection by bacteria and protozoa.
  • This diagram of the spleen indicates the vein, artery, white pulp, red pulp, and capsule.

• Cells and Organs of the Immune System

  • The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions including the transportation of white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones, and the transportation of antigen-presenting cells (such as dendritic cells) to the lymph nodes where an immune response is stimulated.
  • It synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp and removes antibody-coated bacteria along with antibody-coated blood cells by way of blood and lymph node circulation.
  • They are packed tightly with the white blood cells, called lymphocytes and macrophages.
  • Leukocytes (white blood cells) are immune system cells involved in defending the body against infectious disease and foreign materials.
  • Red blood cells, several white blood cells including lymphocytes, a monocyte, a neutrophil, and many small disc-shaped platelets.

• Root Canal Therapy

  • Endodontic therapy is the treatment for the pulp of a tooth which results in the protection of the decontaminated tooth.
  • Root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the physical hollows within a tooth that are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels, and other cellular entities.
  • To cure the infection and save the tooth, the dentist drills into the pulp chamber and removes the infected pulp and then drills the nerve out of the root canal with long needle-shaped drills.
  • Sometimes the dentist performs preliminary treatment of the tooth by removing all of the infected pulp of the tooth and applying a dressing and temporary filling to the tooth.
  • After removing as much of the internal pulp as possible, the root canals can be temporarily filled with calcium hydroxide paste.

• Culture in the Thirties

  • Despite the fact that at the time so many poor rural Americans were black, the New Deal photographs create an impression that poor rural America was predominantly white.  
  • Pulp fiction magazines began to feature distinctive, gritty adventure heroes that combined elements of hard-boiled detective fiction and the fantastic adventures of the earlier pulp novels.

• Aerobic Hydrocarbon Oxidation

  • Other applications of biosurfactants include herbicides and pesticides formulations, detergents, healthcare and cosmetics, pulp and paper, coal, textiles, ceramic processing and food industries, uranium ore-processing, and mechanical dewatering of peat.
  • Other applications include herbicides and pesticides formulations, detergents, healthcare and cosmetics, pulp and paper, coal, textiles, ceramic processing and food industries, uranium ore-processing, and mechanical dewatering of peat.

• Dietary Fiber

  • For example, plums and prunes have a thick skin covering a juicy pulp.
  • The plum's skin is a source of insoluble fiber while soluble fiber is in the pulp.

• Grey and White Matter

  • The basic pattern of the CNS is a central cavity surrounded by gray matter external to which is the white matter.
  • White matter only contains the myelinated axon tracts,  and not the cell bodies.  
  • Myelin also gives white matter its characteristic color.
  • This MRI highlights the location of white matter in the brain.
  • Distinguish between grey and white matter of the central nervous system

• Spinal Cord White Matter

  • The white matter of the spinal cord is composed of bundles of myelinated axons.
  • White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system.
  • White matter tissue of the freshly cut brain appears pinkish white to the naked eye because myelin is composed largely of lipid tissue veined with capillaries.
  • White matter in non-elderly adults is 1.7-3.6% blood.
  • The white matter is white because of the fatty substance (myelin) that surrounds the nerve fibers (axons).

• Taft and Roosevelt

  • Furthermore, Taft's indifference towards the press (he once sought to legislatively abolish the press' reduced tariff rates on print paper and wood pulp) meant that he was an unpopular figure for political journalists and commentators, and the press seized the opportunity to lash out at Taft during the election.

• Characteristics of Innovative Organizations

  • The classic example of a company that completely transformed itself as a result of lateral thinking is the Finnish company Nokia, whose original core business was wood pulp and logging.
