Tubercle (anatomy) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tubercle (anatomy)
In anatomy, the term tubercle may describe a round nodule, small eminence, or warty outgrowth found on bones or skin, or, in cases of tuberculosis, in the lungs. In addition to the types that exist in or on humans (as well as certain other animals) as described below, they are also found on the leading edge of Humpback Whale's flippers, improving fluid flow over the flipper's surface.〔(Leading-edge tubercles delay stall on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) flippers ), DS Miklosovic, MM Murray, LE Howle, FE Fish, Physics of Fluids (1994-present) 16 (5), L39-L42, 2004〕 ==Types== Within the human body there are numerous sites where tubercles develop. On bones they are generally the sites of muscle insertions. Within the lungs and on the genitals, tubercles are sites of disease.
