Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle, so-called because it has no sarcomeres and therefore no striations. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, including the stomach, intestines, bladder and uterus.

Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate, is a phosphorylated form of creatine that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle, myocardium and the brain to recycle adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

Epithelial cells line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body, as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs. Ciliated columnar epithelial cells are elongated and column-shaped, and possess tiny hairs (cilia) which help move mucus and other substances through the respiratory tract.

Memory T cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that recognize antigens specific to viruses or other microbial molecules. The primary function of memory cells is to augment the immune response after the reintroduction of previously-encountered pathogen into the body.

Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut microbiota. Live probiotic cultures are part of fermented dairy products, other fermented foods, and probiotic-fortified foods.

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria. It is the main storage form of glucose in the human body. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle.

Eosinophils are a variety of white blood cells and one of the immune system components responsible for combating multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates.

Endorphins are peptides produced in the brain that block the perception of pain and increase feelings of wellbeing. Endorphins are endogenous painkillers often produced in the brain and adrenal medulla during physical exercise or orgasm and inhibit pain, muscle cramps, and relieve stress.

An osteoclast is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue. This function is critical in the maintenance, repair, and remodeling of bones of the vertebral skeleton.

T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response. Groups of specific, differentiated T cell subtypes have a variety of important functions in controlling and shaping the immune response.

Regulatory T Cell move on to the next round!

Propaganda!

The regulatory T cells (Tregs), formerly known as suppressor T cells, are a subpopulation of T cells that modulate the immune system, maintain tolerance to self-antigens, and prevent autoimmune disease.

A phagosome is a vesicle formed around a particle engulfed by a phagocyte via phagocytosis. Phagosome formation is crucial for tissue homeostasis and both innate and adaptive host defense against pathogens.

GABA moves on to the next round!

Propaganda!

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes) are a type of white blood cell. More specifically, they form the most abundant type of granulocytes and make up 40% to 70% of all white blood cells in humans. They form an essential part of the innate immune system, with their functions varying in different animals.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (gamma-aminobutyric acid) or GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the developmentally mature mammalian central nervous system. Its principal role is reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system.

Amylase moves on to the next round!

Propaganda!

The egg cell or ovum (plural: ova) is the female reproductive cell or gamete in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, female gamete and a smaller, male one).

An amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain large amounts of starch but little sugar, such as rice and potatoes, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar.

waiting for round 1 to end so here i am creating a bit of an ask game for poll runners

For polls that didn't start yet (works for other polls too):

🐉 - What was the very first submission you received?

👵- Who is the oldest/most ancient character/media source/object or event, that was submitted?

🔐- What was the last submission you received before closing the submissions?

🌪️ - Who/what did you have in mind when you started the tournament?

For polls that are still running:

🏦 - Whose victory are you betting on?

🗡️ - Which submission/poll is getting the most fighting/drama over?

🏖️ - Who did you think would get an easy win but got swept out of the tournament early?

🥪 - Who didn't you know before it all started but now you root for them in every poll?

💗 - Did you submit characters (or whatever the tournament is about) yourself, to your own tournament? (not forced to say who it was)

🤠 - Which media did you discover through the submissions that you now want to watch/read/play/other yourself?

AHEM! THE RECOGNITION FORM IS HERE

BTW! because holding a preliminary doesn't just fit right now! I have decided to make it so each fandom with 2 individual submissions that only have one will go through one, somewhat. The most recognized one will be the one who joins the bracket!

HERE IT IS

BTW, this is for almost gentle giants, not complete GG, more characters who almost fit the trope but have a few drawbacks (but still joined both of the summer-autumn and spring brackets at times)

Dendritic cells move on to the next round!

Propaganda!

A dendritic cell (DC) is an antigen-presenting cell (also known as an accessory cell) of the mammalian immune system. A DC's main function is to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. They act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems.

An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, these genes are often mutated, or expressed at high levels. Most normal cells will undergo a programmed form of rapid cell death (apoptosis) when critical functions are altered and malfunctioning. Activated oncogenes can cause those cells designated for apoptosis to survive and proliferate instead.
