Definition. All sexually reproducing organisms make sex cells called gametes. The gamete produced by the female is called the egg or ovum (plural = ova). It joins with the sperm, the male gamete, during fertilization to form the embryo, which will eventually grow into a new organism. Ova are produced by sexually reproducing animals, protists, fungi and flowering plants and ferns. In animals, they are produced by follicle cells in the ovaries of the female.
What is Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD)? Fibromuscular Dysplasia, commonly called FMD, is a disease that causes one or more arteries in the body to have abnormal cell development in the artery wall. As a result, areas of narrowing (called stenosis), aneurysms, or tears (called dissections) may occur.
Functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD) are part of the wide spectrum of functional neurological disorders, which together account for over 16% of patients referred to neurology clinics.atients might have a history of other functional symptoms. Neurological signs apart from the movement disorder can be consistent with functional illness, for example Hoover's sign (leg paresis), give-way weakness, and non-anatomical patterns of sensory loss.
