"Vasculatory" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Relating to the blood vessels; concerned with blood vessels or the circulation of the blood.
Extension of blood vessels into a tissue, organ, or wound, which brings an increase in supply of nutritive material and removal of waste products.
Vascularized refers to the presence of blood vessels or the process of creating or forming blood vessels, typically in a tissue or organ that was previously avascular (without blood vessels). In medical contexts, vascularized often describes:<br><br>1. Tissue engineering: Vascularized refers to the integration of blood vessels into a tissue-engineered construct, allowing for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells within the engineered tissue.<br>2. Organ transplantation: Vascularized refers to the transplantation of an organ that includes its own blood vessels, rather than a free graft. This type of transplantation can increase the chances of successful engraftment and function of the transplanted organ.<br>3. Cancer: Vascularized tumors are tumors that have developed their own blood supply, allowing them to receive the nutrients and oxygen needed to grow and metastasize.<br><br>In a broader sense, the term vascularized can also refer to any process or condition that involves the formation or establishment of blood vessels, such as angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, or vascular remodeling, which is the reorganization of existing blood vessels in response to changes in tissue structure or function.
