| endothelium | <pathology> The layer of epithelial cells that lines the cavities of the heart and of the blood and lymph vessels and the serous cavities of the body, originating from the mesoderm. Origin: Gr. Thel = nipple (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| endothelium camerae anterioris | A single layer of large, squamous cells that covers the posterior surface of the cornea. Synonym: endothelium camerae anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, corneal | Single layer of large flattened cells covering the surface of the cornea. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelium-derived growth factor synthase | <enzyme> Converts l-arginine to a smooth muscle relaxing factor and stimulates the formation of cyclic-GMP Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- Synonym: edrf synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| endothelium derived relaxation factor | <biochemistry> This compound is produced from L arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Acts as a potent vasorelaxant via elevation of intracellular cGMP in vascular smooth muscle. Synthesis of nitric oxide is not confined to endothelium, isoforms of nitric oxide synthase are also found in brain, neutrophils and platelets. Synonym: endothelium derived relaxation factor. Acronym: NO (29 Dec 1997) |
| endothelium-derived relaxing factor | A labile humoral agent released by the vascular endothelium that mediates the relaxation induced by some vasodilators such as acetylcholine and bradykinin. Edrf also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. These actions are believed to be mediated through stimulation of guanylate cyclase and the consequent elevation of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate. Edrf is thought to be nitric oxide or a ready source of it. The factor is believed to be unstable and acts only locally in vivo. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelium, lymphatic | Unbroken cellular lining (intima) of the lymph vessels (e.g., the high endothelial lymphatic venules). It is more permeable than vascular endothelium, lacking selective absorption and functioning mainly to remove plasma proteins that have filtered through the capillaries into the tissue spaces. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelium of anterior chamber | A single layer of large, squamous cells that covers the posterior surface of the cornea. Synonym: endothelium camerae anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, vascular | Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior intercostal arteries | One of the arteries supplying the anterior portions of the intercostal spaces of the thoracic wall. Anterior intercostal arteries 1-6 arise as branches of the internal thoracic artery; 7-11 arise as branches of the musculophrenic artery. Synonym: rami intercostales anteriores, rami intercostalis anteriores arteria thoracica interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior labial arteries | The anterior labial branches, branches of the external pudendal artery to the labium majus. Synonym: rami labiales anteriores arteriae pudendae externae, arteriae labiales anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior mediastinal arteries | <anatomy, artery> Small twigs supplying anterior mediastinal structures: mainly thymus and lymph nodes. Synonym: rami mediastinales arteriae thoracicae internae, rami thymici, anterior mediastinal arteries, arteriae thymicae, thymic arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior alveolar arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superior dental arteries | Origin, infraorbital artery within intraorbital canal; distribution, via anterior alveolar canals to upper incisors and canine teeth, mucus membrane of maxillary sinus. Synonym: arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores, anterior superior dental arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries.
