'''''Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno''''' (known as '''''Avatar: The Legend of Aang — Into the Inferno''''' in Europe) is an upcoming [[video game]] based on the Nickelodeon animated TV Series ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. The game's setting is based upon the show's third and final season. Very little is currently known about the game's details. The game will be released on [[October 31]], [[2008]] in the UK. [http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/product/index.jsp?pid=51650882] |

== |
==Function== |
||
Its physiological role is thought to be of greatest importance during the early [[gestational]] period as a [[homeostatic]] regulator of [[blood pressure]], secreting [[catecholamines]] into the [[fetal]] circulation. |
|||
The [[Fire Nation]] plans to use [[Sozin's Comet]] to rain devastation on the rest of the world, and it's up to Aang and his friends to stop them before it's too late. [[Prince Zuko]] joins the group after their invasion on the [[Day of Black Sun]] fails. Katara helps Toph with a scam that leads them into trouble and Sokka rescues his dad and [[Suki]] and then Suki becomes a playable character. |
|||
The organ itself regresses in the late third trimester and following birth to form the aorticosympathetic group of the adult [[paraganglia]]. |
|||
Later on, [[Aang]] must defeat [[Fire Lord Ozai]], and there is a possibility that Zuko, and Katara will have to defeat Azula. As well as [[Sokka]], [[Suki]], and [[Toph]] must control the Giant Air ships to defeat the entire fleet from burning the Entire [[Earth Kingdom]] to the ground. The current release date for the U.S version of avatar into the inferno is 10/10/08. |
|||
==Pathology== |
|||
This new game will be playable on PS2, Nintendo DS, and Wii. |
|||
The Organ of Zuckerkandl is of pathological significance in the adult as the most common extra-adrenal site of [[pheochromocytoma]] ([[paraganglioma]]). Extra-adrenal tumors account for around 10% of all cases of pheochromocytoma. |
|||
== |
==Eponym== |
||
This diffuse group of [[neuroendocrine]] sympathetic fibres was first described by [[Emil Zuckerkandl]], a professor of [[anatomy]] at the [[University of Vienna]], in 1901. <ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|3111}}</ref> |
|||
Gameplay styles will vary on different platforms. In the Nintendo DS version, the characters will have very large heads, giving the game a cartoonish feel. One of the DS screenshots show that [[Katara]]'s ice bridge ability will return from the previous games. [[Sokka]]'s boomerang is used to break hard to reach objects or to solve puzzles. It has been discovered (In the screenshots) that you draw a path for the boomerang to follow. Also [[Toph]] can earthbend small platforms to get over gaps with spikes. On the Wii version is a totally new way to play. Aang can form an "air ball"(sphere of high winds) to break down obstacles and blow away objects by shaking the Wii Remote. Toph can slide Earth out of rock walls to reach the top by sliding the Wii Remote backwards. Katara can guide water by standing on a puddle of water pressing "A button" and moving the wii remote in the right direction to put out fires. Also the pointer is a star and the light of a flashlight. |

Revision as of 06:20, 11 October 2008
The Organ of Zuckerkandl (or paraaortic bodies) is a chromaffin body derived from neural crest located at the bifurcation of the aorta or at the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery.
Function
Its physiological role is thought to be of greatest importance during the early gestational period as a homeostatic regulator of blood pressure, secreting catecholamines into the fetal circulation.
The organ itself regresses in the late third trimester and following birth to form the aorticosympathetic group of the adult paraganglia.
Pathology
The Organ of Zuckerkandl is of pathological significance in the adult as the most common extra-adrenal site of pheochromocytoma (paraganglioma). Extra-adrenal tumors account for around 10% of all cases of pheochromocytoma.
Eponym
This diffuse group of neuroendocrine sympathetic fibres was first described by Emil Zuckerkandl, a professor of anatomy at the University of Vienna, in 1901. [1]
Nomenclature
Some sources equate the "aortic bodies" and "paraaortic bodies",[2] while other sources explicitly distinguish between the two.[3][4] When a distinction is made, the "aortic bodies" are chemoreceptors which regulate circulation, while the "paraaortic bodies" are the chromaffin cells which manufacture catecholamines.
