| complexus | An obsolete term for semispinalis capitis muscle. Origin: L. An embracing, encircling (05 Mar 2000) |
| compliance | A physical quality of yielding to pressure or force without disruption, or an expression of the measure of the ability to do so, as an expression of the distensibility of an air- or fluid-filled organ, e.g., the lung (lung compliance) or the bladder, in terms of unit of volume change per unit of pressure change. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compliance of bladder | Relationship of volume to pressure; can be calculated from a cytometrogram's pressure volume curve. Synonym: compliance of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compliance of heart | The reciprocal of passive or diastolic stiffness of the ventricle of the heart, most commonly of the left ventricle; one may distinguish between compliance of the muscle and compliance of the supportive structures, although ordinarily both are considered together (chamber compliance); a hypertrophied or scarred heart will manifest a stiff wall, i.e., decreased compliance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complicate | <plant biology> Of leaves, the lamina (or part of the lamina) folded upon itself. (09 Oct 1997) |
| complicated | Made complex; denoting a disease upon which a morbid process or event has been superimposed, altering symptoms and modifying its course for the worse. Origin: L. Com-plico, pp. -atus, to fold together (05 Mar 2000) |
| complicated cataract | A cataract that accompanies or follows some other eye disease such as uveitis. Synonym: complicated cataract. A cataract occurring in the retained lens or capsule after a cataract extraction. Synonym: aftercataract. (05 Mar 2000) |

| complicated migraine | A migraine attack during which an infarction of tissue takes place. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complication | A term used to describe additional medical problems that develop following a procedure, treatment or illness. Complications are usually directly or indirectly related to a procedure (risk of the procedure), treatment (side effect or toxicity) or illness. Origin: L. Complicatio (29 Sep 1997) |
