| neurogenesis | <embryology> Differentiation of the nervous system from the ectoderm of the early embryo. There are major differences between neurogenesis in vertebrates and invertebrates. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| neurogenic | <embryology> Arising from or caused by the nervous system. Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic atrophy | Abnormalities of the skin, hair, nails, subcutaneous tissues and bone, caused by peripheral nerve lesions. Synonym: neuritic atrophy, neurogenic atrophy, neurotrophic atrophy, trophic changes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic bladder | A dysfunction of the bladder due a malfunction of the autonomic nerves which control bladder function. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic fracture | A fracture in bone weakened by disease of the nerve supply. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenic gene | Best described in Drosophila, genes that are required to determine a neuronal fate. Examples: Notch, Delta. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neurogenic shock | <neurology> This form of distributive shock results from a change in systemic vascular resistance, mediated by a neurologic injury (for example, head injury, spinal cord injury). Synonym: spinal shock. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neurogenic tonus | Contraction of a muscle caused by the influence of its extrinsic nerve supply (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurogenous | <embryology> Arising from or caused by the nervous system. Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (27 Sep 1997) |
