Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles01:18

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

8.7K
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen.

Structure of Lipids03:38

Structure of Lipids

98.6K
Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bonds. Non-polar molecules are hydrophobic (“water fearing”), or insoluble in water. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of fats. Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals. For example, they help keep aquatic...

Introduction to Membrane Proteins

81.0K
The cell membrane, or plasma membrane, is an ever-changing landscape. It is described as a fluid mosaic where various macromolecules are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer. Among the macromolecules are proteins. The protein content varies across cell types. For example, mitochondrial inner membranes contain ~76% protein content, while myelin contains ~18% protein content. Individual cells contain many types of membrane proteins—red blood cells contain over 50—and different cell...

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

87.4K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Additional Subnuclear Structures02:10

Additional Subnuclear Structures

5.4K
The eukaryotic nucleus is a double membrane-bound organelle that contains nearly all of the cell’s genetic material in the form of chromosomes. It is rightly called the “brain” of the cell as it shoulders the responsibility of responding to various physiological processes, stress, altered metabolic conditions, and other cellular signals. 
The nucleus contains many membrane-less subnuclear organelles or nuclear bodies, such as nucleoli, Cajal bodies, speckles,...

Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

17.7K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Summary

A rare cardiac anomaly, a membranous structure in the left ventricle, was identified in a newborn. This finding is considered a variant of left ventricular noncompaction, requiring ongoing pediatric cardiology follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Neonatal Echocardiography
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Routine examination of a 22-day-old infant revealed a subtle systolic murmur.
  • The infant had no other observed clinical abnormalities or malformations.

Observation:

  • Echocardiography identified a distinct membranous structure originating from the left ventricular apex.
  • This structure extended to the mitral chords and papillary muscles, visualized in apical four-chamber and parasternal long-axis views.

Findings:

  • The observed cardiac anomaly was diagnosed as a potential variant of left ventricular noncompaction.
  • This diagnosis was based on the unique anatomical characteristics identified via echocardiography.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing subtle congenital heart anomalies in neonates.
  • Continued monitoring in a pediatric cardiology setting is essential for managing this left ventricular variant.
