Therefore, whenever a ddNTP is added to a growing DNA strand, it is unable to chemically bind with the next nucleotide in the chain, and the DNA strand stops growing. Figure 3: By adding together information about all of the truncated strands, researchers can determine the nucleotide sequence of the DNA target.
Functions of the Bladder. Temporary store of urine â The bladder is a hollow organ. The walls are very distensible, with a folded internal lining (known as rugae), this allows it to hold up to 600ml. Assists in the expulsion of urine â During voiding, the musculature of the bladder contracts, and the sphincters relax.
This resulted in bladder wall thickening and obstruction of the left ureter at the ureteral orifice into the bladder causing left sided hydronephrosis and thus requiring stenting. Note bladder wall thickening in the left lateral bladder wall from radiation induced cystitis (arrows). Contrast enhaced CT scan of the pelvis. A mass like lesion in the dependent portion of the bladder may represent a mass (arrows). However, this patient presented with gross hematuria.
