| crossing over | <genetics, molecular biology> The breaking during meiosis of one maternal and one paternal chromosome, the reciprocal exchange of corresponding sections of DNA along pairs of homologous chromosomes by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining of the chromosomes. This results in the transfer of a block of genes from each chromosome to its homologue. In contrast to genetic recombination, which is a phenotypic phenomenon, crossing-over is genotypic. Any even number of crossing-overs between two loci will cancel out phenotypically and no recombination will occur. Recombination can result from DNA exchange of alleles between between homologous chromatids in meiosis, giving rise to chiasmata. Compare: recombination. (10 Nov 1998) |
| somatic crossing-over | Crossing-over that occurs during the mitosis of somatic cells, in contrast to that which occurs in meiosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unequal crossing over | <cell biology> Crossing over between homologous chromosomes that are not precisely paired, resulting in nonreciprocal exchange of material and chromosomes of unequal length. Favoured in regions containing tandemly repeated sequences. (18 Nov 1997) |
| uneven crossing-over | Unequal crossing-over, crossing-over that happens when the breaks do not occur at precisely homologous points in two chromatid strands, and hence results in localised duplication of genetic material in one chromatid and complementary deletion in the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| four-strand crossing over | Crossing over with both strands of DNA from each sister chromatid, so that both strands from one chromatid are exchanged for both strands on the other. This is different from the usual case where only one of the two DNA strands on one sister chromatid is exchanged for the one matching strand (of the two strands) on the other sister chromatid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| arteriovenous | <anatomy> Both arterial and venous, pertaining to or affecting an artery and a vein. (18 Nov 1997) |
| arteriovenous anastomosis | <anatomy> A vessel that directly interconnects an artery and a vein, and that acts as a shunt to bypass the capillary bed. Not to be confused with surgical anastomosis, nor with arteriovenous fistula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteriovenous aneurysm | <anatomy> A dilated arteriovenous shunt where there is communication between an artery and a vein, sometimes congenital. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous carbon dioxide difference | <physiology> The difference in carbon dioxide content (in ml per 100 ml blood) between arterial and venous blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous fistula | <surgery> The surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can place strain on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues. (27 Sep 1997) |
| arteriovenous malformation | <anatomy, embryology> A tangled collection of abnormal blood vessels where there is an abnormal communication between the arterial and venous systems. The afferents flow directly into the venous efferents without the usual resistance of an intervening capillary bed. They are mostly congenital. If large enough, they may produce a shunt of sufficient magnitude to raise the cardiac output. Common sites include; skin, liver, brain, brainstem and spinal cord, where they may cause headaches, seizures or bleeding (subarachnoid haemorrhage). See: arteriovenous fistula, cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Synonym: haemangioma (20 Jun 2000) |
| arteriovenous oxygen difference | <physiology> The difference in the oxygen content (in ml per 100 ml blood) between arterial and venous blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous shunt | <anatomy, surgery> A direct connection between an artery and vein. Most often due to the surgical joining of an artery and a vein under the skin for the purpose of haemodialysis. Larger arteriovenous shunts can create significant extra workload on the heart since arterial blood is diverted back to the venous circulation before it has a chance to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues. (20 Jun 2000) |
| arteriovenous strabismus syndrome | <syndrome> Strabismus in which the angle of deviation is more marked on looking upward or downward. See: A-esotropia, V-esotropia, A-exotropia, V-exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
