Transitional Zone (lung)
Transition zone may refer to: * Transition zone (Earth), a part of the Earth’s mantle located between the lower mantle and the upper mantle * Transition zone, the region between the near and far fields of a transmitting antenna * Transition zone (TZ), a glandular region of the prostatesee Prostate#Zones * Zone of transition, a zone in urban planning * Ciliary transition zone, a part of the ciliary apparatus. See also * Ecotone An ecotone is a transitional area between two plant communities, where these meet and integrate. Examples include areas between grassland and forest, estuaries and lagoon, freshwater and sea water etc. An ecotone may be narrow or wide, and it ma ...

Transition Zone (Earth)
The transition zone is the part of Earth's mantle that is located between the lower and the upper mantle, most strictly between the seismic-discontinuity depths of about , but more broadly defined as the zone encompassing those discontinuities, i.e., between about depth. Earth's solid, rocky mantle, including the mantle transition zone (often abbreviated as MTZ), consists primarily of peridotite, an ultramafic igneous rock. The mantle was divided into the upper mantle, transition zone, and lower mantle as a result of sudden seismic-velocity discontinuities at depths of . This is thought to occur as a result of rearrangement of grains in olivine (which constitutes a large portion of peridotite) at a depth of , to form a denser crystal structure as a result of the increase in pressure with increasing depth. Below a depth of , evidence suggests due to pressure changes ringwoodite minerals change into two new denser phases, bridgmanite and periclase. This can be seen usi ...

Near And Far Field
The near field and far field are regions of the electromagnetic (EM) field around an object, such as a transmitting antenna, or the result of radiation scattering off an object. Non-radiative ''near-field'' behaviors dominate close to the antenna or scatterer, while electromagnetic radiation ''far-field'' behaviors predominate at greater distances. Far-field (electric) and (magnetic) radiation field strengths decrease as the distance from the source increases, resulting in an inverse-square law for the '' power'' intensity of electromagnetic radiation in the transmitted signal. By contrast, the near-fields and strengths decrease more rapidly with distance: The radiative field decreases by the inverse-distance squared, the reactive field by an inverse-''cube'' law, resulting in a diminished power in the parts of the electric field by an inverse fourth-power and sixth-power, respectively. The rapid drop in power contained in the near-field ensures that effects due to the ...

Prostate
The prostate is an male accessory gland, accessory gland of the male reproductive system and a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation. It is found in all male mammals. It differs between species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically. Anatomically, the prostate is found below the bladder, with the urethra passing through it. It is described in gross anatomy as consisting of lobes and in microanatomy by zone. It is surrounded by an elastic, fibromuscular capsule and contains glandular tissue, as well as connective tissue. The prostate produces and contains fluid that forms part of semen, the substance emitted during ejaculation as part of the male human sexual response cycle, sexual response. This prostatic fluid is slightly Alkalinity, alkaline, milky or white in appearance. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vagina, vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first part of ej ...

Zone Of Transition
Zone of transition is the area between the factory zone and the working-class zone in the concentric zone model of urban structure devised by Ernest Burgess. The zone of transition is an area of flux where the land use begins to change. In the core frame model showing the structure of the center of the city, the zone of transition encircles the central business district A central business district (CBD) is the Commerce, commercial and business center of a city. It contains commercial space and offices, and in larger cities will often be described as a financial district. Geographically, it often coincides wit ... (CBD). It includes a zone of assimilation where the buildings are being drawn into CBD usage. There may also be a zone of degradation where the buildings are changing from CBD usage to residential land use. It is characterized by residential deterioration and encroachment by business and light manufacturing.(Fouberg, Murphy, de Blij) References {{Reflist Exte ...

Ciliary Transition Zone
The cilium (: cilia; ; in Medieval Latin and in anatomy, ''cilium'') is a short hair-like membrane protrusion from many types of eukaryotic cell. (Cilia are absent in bacteria and archaea.) The cilium has the shape of a slender threadlike projection that extends from the surface of the much larger cell body. Eukaryotic flagella found on sperm cells and many protozoans have a similar structure to motile cilia that enables swimming through liquids; they are longer than cilia and have a different undulating motion. There are two major classes of cilia: ''motile'' and ''non-motile'' cilia, each with two subtypes, giving four types in all. A cell will typically have one primary cilium or many motile cilia. The structure of the cilium core, called the axoneme, determines the cilium class. Most motile cilia have a central pair of single microtubules surrounded by nine pairs of double microtubules called a 9+2 axoneme. Most non-motile cilia have a 9+0 axoneme that lacks the central pai ...
