Arteriovenous shunt
A glomus circuit hands one conserved flow between the surface capillary loop and the deep anastomosis, each branch drawn in by the exact complement of the other.

Integument
15 animationsCorneocyte shed
An offset brick lattice of corneocytes tiles the field while accent surface plates lift clear, fade and are replaced from the course beneath.
CSSEpithelial closure
Two accent epithelial tongues advance from opposite wound margins to abut exactly at the seam while the gap dimension above them collapses to nothing.
CSSFibre remodelling
A field of accent collagen ticks scatters out of alignment and rotates back onto the tension axis across the dashed scar margin.
CSSGranulation mesh
A triangulated collagen mesh fills a wound bed rank by rank from the floor upward, then unravels and refills.
CSSHemostatic plug
Accent platelet marks gather into the notch of a broken surface rule and a fibrin bridge draws across the gap, then the plug disperses and re-forms.
CSSHydration profile
A water-content-against-depth plot whose accent rows swell from the dry reference outline out to an occluded profile and collapse back onto it.
CSSIsotherm field
A depth stack of isotherm contours in which the accent shallow lines sway with ambient load while the deep contours hold the core set point.
CSSLamellar corpuscle
A surface probe presses a stack of concentric lamellae, the accent core flattening most, while the response bar fires on the press and the release but not in between.
CSSLipid barrier
Accent permeants rise against the dashed intercellular lipid lamellae; most are turned back into the reservoir while one crosses and disperses above the barrier.
CSSMelanin dosimetry
A dashed ultraviolet ray field falls on a basal row whose accent melanin caps thicken to absorb the dose and bleach back when it lifts.
CSSReceptor adaptation
A scan rule crosses a two-row spike raster under a held stimulus step: the upper accent train fires only at onset and release, the lower one fires throughout and thins.
CSSSkin strata
Stacked epidermal, dermal and subcutaneous bands hold still while accent keratinocytes migrate from the basal wave to the surface, flattening as they go.
CSSSudomotor output
Coiled sweat glands feed ducts to the pore line while accent droplets climb each duct in turn, clear the pore and evaporate.
CSSVasodilation
Parallel dermal channels open and shut about their own centres while the accent dash flow inside each one quickens as the bed widens.
