The longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle of a triangle. Conversely, the smallest side of a triangle is opposite the smallest angle of a triangle. Consider the following example: Rank the size of the angles of triangle ABC from largest to smallest. Since side AC is the longest side, angle B is the largest angle. Since side AB is the next longest side, angle C is the next largest angle. Since side BC is the shortest side, angle A is the smallest angle.
Neuroendocrine cells are one of the epithelial populations in the prostate. Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) has been observed in prostate cancer. In addition to small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas and carcinoid tumors of the prostate, prostatic adenocarcinomas may have NED.
The endocrine system is made up of pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, pancreatic islet cells (also known as islets of Langerhans) and the ovaries or testicles. 1  The pituitary, pineal and parathyroid glands are neuroendocrine glands. Neuroendocrine cells in the digestive system regulate intestinal movements and the release of digestive enzymes. 2  Neuroendocrine cells in the respiratory system are believed to play a role in the developmental stages of the respiratory organs. 3  They also regulate respiratory function.
