How do human organs develop and what happens to them when they become diseased? To answer these questions, researchers are increasingly focusing on so-called organoids. These mini-organs, just a few millimeters in size, consist of groups of cells cultivated in the laboratory that can form organ-like structures.

Veins in the lungs, or pulmonary veins, play a critical role not only in lung functioning but also in maintaining sufficient oxygen in tissues throughout the body. When a person sustains a pulmonary injury from an illness such as influenza or COVID, repair of blood vessels and the creation of new ones is vital to meet oxygen demands; however, research in these areas remains underexplored.

At an angle of 45 degrees to the direction of blood flow D. At an angle of 135 degrees to the direction of blood flow Correct answer: A. Parallel to the direction of blood flow While two dimensional imaging gives better view if the structure being imaged is perpendicular to the beam direction, Doppler estimates the velocity of moving red bl
