Mesangial cells are located in the glomerular capillaries of the renal corpuscle in the kidney. They are derived from smooth muscles and phagocytize components of the glomerular basal lamina. Apart from phagocytic functions, they also provide structural support to the glomerular capillaries and regulate glomerular filtration.

In general, the bull is uncastrated and has a functional testis. On the other hand, a bullock is castrated and testicles are removed. Due to the absence of functional testicles, the testosterone level in the blood of bull is reduced. …

The TMC1 protein forms a sound- and motion-activated pore in the inner ear of vertebrates. This pore helps in the conversion of sound and head movement into electrical nerve signals and sends it to the hearing and balance center of …
