Pulmonary specialists work closely with other doctors and nurses as a part of a medical care team. Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart again. A pulmonary specialist treats patients who have problems with their lungs or respiratory systems. Becoming a pulmonary specialist requires a major commitment to education. A pulmonary specialist must have a comforting bedside manner.
Cell plate is the structure found inside the dividing cells of terrestrial plants and some algae. It develops in the middle plane of the cell separating two daughter cells during cell division. In animal cells, cytokinesis is carried out by the formation of cleavage furrow but in plant cells it is by the formation of cell plate. Compare: cleavage furrow. See also: cell division, mitosis, telophase.
The plasma membrane (also called the cell membrane) is a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that encloses every living cell. This membrane blocks uncontrolled movements of water-soluble materials into or out of the cell.
