| embryo resorption | Death and resorption of the embryo that takes place at any developmental stage after ovum implantation and before the completion of organogenesis. does not include foetal resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| bone resorption | Bone loss due to osteoclastic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| gingival resorption | The exposure of root surface by an apical shift in the position of the gingiva. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resorption | <physiology> The loss of substance through physiologic or pathologic means, such as loss of dentin and cementum of a tooth or of the alveolar process of the mandible or maxilla. Origin: L. Resorbere = to swallow again (10 Mar 1998) |
| resorption atelectasis | The slow partial collapse of a lobe that occurs when communication between alveoli and trachea is obstructed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resorption lacunae | Tiny depressions, pits, or irregular grooves in bone that is being resorbed by osteoclasts. Synonym: resorption lacunae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ridge resorption | A loss in the volume and size of the alveolar portion of the mandible or maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| root resorption | Resorption in which cementum or dentin is lost from the root of a tooth owing to cementoclastic or osteoclastic activity in conditions such as trauma of occlusion or neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| horizontal resorption | A progressive loss of alveolar and supporting bone surrounding the teeth, beginning at the most coronal level of the bone. Synonym: horizontal resorption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal resorption | A loss of tooth structure originating within the pulp cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth resorption | Resorption of calcified dental tissue, involving demineralization due to reversal of the cation exchange and lacunar resorption by osteoclasts. There are two types: external (as a result of tooth pathology) and internal (apparently initiated by a peculiar inflammatory hyperplasia of the pulp). (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal resorption | <obstetrics> Death and resorption of the foetus at any stage after the completion of organogenesis. It does not include embryo resorption. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maxillary process of embryo | The part of the first pharyngeal arch that lies cranial to the stomodeum and then develops into the upper jaw. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chicken embryo lethal orphan virus | <virology> A virus with characteristics of adenovirus, and similar to quail bronchitis virus. Synonym: chicken embryo lethal orphan virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pre-embryo | <embryology> A fertilized egg in the early stage of development prior to cell division. (31 Dec 1997) |
| presomite embryo | An embryo prior to the appearance of the first pair of somites, about 20 to 21 days after fertilization in humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
