|---|---|
| corrected dextrocardia | Displacement and rotation of the heart into the right side of the chest but without mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers. Synonym: dextroversion of the heart, false dextrocardia, type 3 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrected transposition of the great vessels | Anatomically or physiologically corrected malposition of the great arteries. In anatomically corrected transposition, they arise from the correct ventricles but have an abnormal relation to each other (actually a malposition rather than a transposition.) In physiologically or functionally corrected transposition, the aorta arises from a systemic ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery arises from a "venous" ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a left ventricle.

| correction | A setting right, as the provision of specific lenses for the improvement of vision or an arbitrary adjustment made in values or devices in performance of experimental procedures. Origin: L. Correctio = straightening out, amendment (18 Nov 1997) |
| correction collar | <microscopy> An adjustment collar provided on some high-numerical aperture, microscope objective lenses. Rotation of the collar adjusts the height of certain lens elements in the objective lens to compensate for variations in coverslip thickness or immersion media. at high numerical apertures, even a small deviation of the coverslip thickness (by as little as a few micrometres in some cases), or refractive index of the immersion medium from the designated standard, can introduce significant aberrations.

| corrective | 1. Counteracting, modifying, or changing what is injurious. 2. A drug that modifies or corrects an undesirable or injurious effect of another drug. Synonym: corrigent. Origin: L. Cor-rigo (conr-), pp. -rectus, to set right, fr. Rego, to keep straight (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrective emotional experience | Reexposure under favourable circumstances to an emotional situation with which one could not cope in the past. (05 Mar 2000) |
