| sympathetic nervous system | <anatomy, physiology> One of the two divisions of the vertebrate autonomic nervous system (the other being the parasympathetic nervous system). The sympathetic preganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord and connect to the paravertebral chain of sympathetic ganglia. Innervate heart and blood vessels, sweat glands, viscera and the adrenal medulla. most sympathetic neurons, but not all, use noradrenaline as a post ganglionic neurotransmitter. (19 Jan 1998) |
| dermal system | Dermoid system, the skin and its appendages, the nails and hair. (05 Mar 2000) |
| system | <biology, ecology> A group of related natural objects or forces within a defined zone, a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole, a more general and less rigorous term than ecosystem. (09 Oct 1997) |
| system of macrophages | A widely distributed collection of both free and fixed macrophages derived from bone marrow precursor cells by way of monocytes; their substantial phagocytic activity is mediated by immunoglobulin and the serum complement system. In both connective and lymphoid tissue, they may occur as free and fixed macrophages; in the sinusoids of the liver, as Kupffer cells; in the lung, as alveolar macrophages; and in the nervous system, as microglia. Synonym: system of macrophages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| system, parasympathetic nervous | : A part of nervous system that slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles. The parasympathetic nervous system together with the sympathetic nervous system (that accelerates the heart rate, constricts blood vessels, and raises blood pressure) constitute the autonomic nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |

| diagnostic techniques, respiratory system | Methods and procedures for the diagnosis of diseases of the respiratory tract or its organs. It includes respiratory function tests. (12 Dec 1998) |
| digestive system | The organs that are responsible for getting food into and out of the body and for making use of food to keep the body healthy. These include the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and rectum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| digestive system abnormalities | Congenital structural abnormalities of the digestive system. (12 Dec 1998) |

| duffy blood-group system | A blood group consisting mainly of the antigens fy(a) and fy(b), determined by allelic genes, the frequency of which varies profoundly in different races; amorphic genes are common. (12 Dec 1998) |
