(1) In the male, the genital tubercle is located adjacent to and caudal to the umbilicus, whereas the genital tubercle in the female is located just ventral to the tail.(2) Even on the bare question of the presence or absence of tubercle in a lung it often fails us; on questions of the age, extent, distribution and histological character of the tuberculous lesions it can tell us little.(3) The blood supply of the scaphoid comes from the radial artery, feeding the bone on the dorsal surface near the tubercle and scaphoid waist.(4) Its fibers pass dorsally from an extensive anterior attachment to insert on the pharyngeal raphe, the pharyngeal tubercle of the occipital bone.(5) A terminal segment includes a tubercle that projects dorsally and an anus.(6) The carapace, as well as the preabdomen, shows the intensely tuberculate cuticle sculpture typical of this species.(7) The outer surface of the egg is finely tuberculate .(8) When this happens, the bacteria become encapsulated in tiny tubercles (round lesions) usually in the lungs which may be seen on a chest X-ray.(9) Tuberculoma is a mass of granulation tissue made up of a conglomeration of microscopic small tubercles .(10) The tubercles have rounded surface and irregular shape.(11) In young dorsal valves the median septum is lacking and the adductor scars are poorly differentiated, appearing as strongly tuberculate areas enclosed posterolaterally by the lateral ridges.(12) Responding to the invasion, macrophages may huddle with other immune cells to form little nodules called granulomas, or tubercles .(13) The disease causes these tubercles to become yellow and spongy and coughing fits causes them to be spat out by the sufferer.(14) However, it is characterized by short genal and pleural spines, a tuberculate surface texture, and a relatively broad tail spine with a diagnostic median cleft, none of which are seen in Quasimodaspis.(15) In the first stage, ribs are strong and tuberculate and the whorl section is subtrapezoidal with divergent sides.
