| morphogenesis | <cell biology> The process of shape formation: the processes that are responsible for producing the complex shapes of adults from the simple ball of cells that derives from division of the fertilized egg. (18 Nov 1997) |

| mesonephric structures and their fates | <radiology> Male female Tubules Epididymis Mesosalpinx Efferent ductules of testes Ducts Vas deferens Complete involution Seminal vesicles Ejaculatory ducts (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic and biological factors | A collective grouping for biologically active substances that play a role in the functioning of the immune system and those that show biological or physiological activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adhesion structures linked tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> Isolated from mouse embryonic stem cells Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: hyk protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| animal structures | Organs and other anatomical structures of non-human vertebrate and invertebrate animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| complementary structures | Structures that define one another; e.g., the two strands of duplex DNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| surgically-created structures | Organs or parts of organs surgically formed from nearby tissue to function as substitutes for diseased or surgically removed tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture-supporting structures | The tissues, teeth, and/or residual ridges, which serve as the foundation for removable partial or complete dentures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embryonic structures | The anatomical features of the animal embryo deriving from the fertilised ovum, that eventually become the offspring. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological | Pertaining to biology. (18 Nov 1997) |
| biological agent | <microbiology> A disease-causing microorganism or virus, or other toxic biological matter, which is used as a weapon during war. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological assay | <technique> Once a pharmaceutical protein is isolated from the cells in which it was grown, researchers perform tests to measure the protein's biological activity. It must maintain a certain minimal level of biological activity to be used for animal or clinical testing or, later, for market. Researchers also test to confirm that the isolated protein is identical to the desired protein. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological assessment | A specific process required as part of an environmental assessment. An evaluation of potential effects of a proposed project on proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive animal and plant species and their habitats. (05 Dec 1998) |
| biological availability | The extent to which the active ingredient of a drug dosage form becomes available at the site of drug action or in a biological medium believed to reflect accessibility to a site of action. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological chemistry | The scientific study of the chemistry of living cells, tissues, organs and organisms. (09 Oct 1997) |
