Unreferenced date March 2009 Original research date March 2009 A nodule in petrology or mineralogy is a secondary structure, generally spherical or irregularly rounded in shape. Nodules are typically solid replacement bodies of chert or iron oxide s formed during diagenesis of a sedimentary rock . Nodules may be hollow as geode s or vug s or filled with crystals and intricate geometric shrinkage patterns as in septarian nodule s. There is an important distinction to draw between nodules and concretions the latter being formed from mineral precipitation around some kind of nucleus while the former is a replacement body . Manganese nodule s are rounded accumulations of manganese , iron and other metal oxides that accumulate on the deep ocean floor. Chert and flint nodules are commonly found in horizontal layer in limestone and chalk formations respectively. They form from the recrystallisation of amorphous silica arising from different marine organisms after their death siliceous spicule s of sponge s, or debris from radiolaria . Diatom s are also a widespread source of biogenic silica in marine sediments. Silicic volcanic rocks also form nodular segregations during cooling and recrystallization of rhyolite rhyolitic and obsidian flows. Thunderegg s are geode like nodules that form in volcanic ash deposits during diagenesis.

System Precursor MeshName MeshNumber DorlandsPre n 09 DorlandsSuf 12576031 Solitary lymphatic nodules or solitary follicles are structures found in the small intestine and large intestine . Small intestine The solitary lymphatic nodules are found scattered throughout the mucous membrane of the small intestine, but are most numerous in the lower part of the ileum . Their free surfaces are covered with rudimentary villi , except at the summits, and each gland is surrounded by the openings of the intestinal glands. Each consists of a dense interlacing retiform tissue closely packed with lymph corpuscles, and permeated with an abundant capillary network. The interspaces of the retiform tissue are continuous with larger lymph spaces which surround the gland, through which they communicate with the lacteal system. They are situated partly in the submucous tissue, partly in the mucous membrane, where they form slight projections of its epithelial layer. Large intestine or colon The solitary lymphatic nodules of the large intestine are most abundant in the cecum and vermiform process , but are irregularly scattered also over the rest of the intestine. They are similar to those of the small intestine. digestive stub lymphatic stub Gray s Category Digestive system Category Lymphatic system ... more details
