| 21. | The arteriovenous shunt in a glomus body is called the segmentum arteriale anastomosis arteriovenosae glomeriformis or Sucquet-Hoyer anastomosis.
|
| 22. | The nerve fibers pick up the signals sent by glomus cells and transmit them to the central nervous system for treatment.
|
| 23. | The genome of " Rhizophagus irregularis " ( formerly " Glomus intraradices " ) was recently sequenced.
|
| 24. | Glomus tumors were first described by Hoyer in 1877, while the first complete clinical description was given by Masson in 1924.
|
| 25. | The glomus cells have a high metabolic rate and good blood perfusion and thus are sensitive to changes in arterial blood gas tension.
|
| 26. | Its cells are ovoid and arranged in clusters or arches ( " glomus " is Latin for " ball " ).
|
| 27. | This leads to depolarisation of the cell membrane which leads to Ca 2 + entry, excitation of glomus cells and consequent neurotransmitter release.
|
| 28. | Such tumors in the middle ear go by a variety of names, but are most commonly referred to as glomus tumors or paragangliomas.
|
| 29. | A few cases of malignant glomus tumors have been reported; however, they are usually only locally invasive, and metastases are exceedingly rare.
|
| 30. | The glomus bodies in the skin and elsewhere are unusual in that their endothelial cells exist in multiple layers of cells called myoepithelioid cells.
