| secrete | <physiology> To discharge a secretion, to release some sort of liquid substance (or substance in liquid). This can be done by the cell, by glands or other organs, or by tissues. Examples of things that are secreted are hormones, saliva, mucus, bile, and sweat. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| secrete-metory | <physiology> Causing secretion; said of nerves which go to glands and influence secretion. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| secretin | <hormone> Peptide hormone of gastrointestinal tract (27 residues) found in the mucosal cells of duodenum. Stimulates pancreatic, pepsin and bile secretion, inhibits gastric acid secretion. Considerable homology with gastric inhibitory peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and glucagon. (18 Nov 1997) |
| secretin test | <investigation> A test of pancreatic exocrine function, variably performed and standardised, in which the bicarbonate, amylase, and volume of the duodenal aspirate are measured after intravenous administration of secretin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretion | 1. <physiology> The process of elaborating a specific product as a result of the activity of a gland, this activity may range from separating a specific substance of the blood to the elaboration of a new chemical substance. 2. Any substance produced by secretion. Origin: L. Secretio, from secernere = to secrete (09 Oct 1997) |
| secretion vector | <molecular biology> A DNA vector in which the protein product is both expressed and secreted (excreted) from the cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| secretiveness | 1. The quality of being secretive; disposition or tendency to conceal. 2. <psychology> The faculty or propensity which impels to reserve, secrecy, or concealment. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| secretogogue | <physiology> Substance that induces secretion from cells, originally applied to peptides inducing gastric and pancreatic secretion. (18 Nov 1997) |
| secretogranins | Family of related acidic proteins (400-600 residues) found in many endocrine cell secretory vesicles. Secretogranin 1 = chromogranin B, secretogranin 2 = chromogranin C. (18 Nov 1997) |
| secretomotor | Stimulating secretion. Origin: secrete = motor, mover (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretomotor nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve conveying impulses that excite functional activity in a gland. Synonym: secretomotor nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretor | <haematology, physiology> An individual whose bodily fluids (saliva, semen, vaginal secretions) contain a water-soluble form of the antigens of the ABO blood group. Secretors constitute 80% of the population. In forensic medicine, the examination of fluids has enhanced the ability of law enforcement officials to develop identifying information about perpetrators and narrow a field of suspects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretor factor | <haematology> The capacity to secrete antigens of the ABO blood group in saliva and other body fluids, controlled by a pair of allelic genes designated Se and se (or S and s), with the Se phenotype dominant to se. The saliva of genotypes SeSe and Sese contains the blood group substances A, B, or H found in their erythrocytes; the saliva of nonsecretors (genotype sese) contains no blood group substance; tests for ABH secretion are useful in genetic linkage and population studies; the secretor phenomenon is also closely associated with the Lewis blood group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secretory | <physiology> Secreting; performing, or connected with, the office secretion; secernent; as, secretory vessels, nerves. A secretory vessel; a secernent. Origin: Cf. F. Secretoire. See Secrete. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| secretory canaliculus | See: intercellular canaliculus, intracellular canaliculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| second law of thermodynamics |
Entropy - The tendency of an energy system to run down; systems go from a higher to a lower state of order. Entropy is the scientific description of creation under the curse of sin, therefore decay, death and degeneration. Evolution espouses that organisms move from a lesser state of organization to a higher state, or up hill (microbes to man) and therefore is diametrically opposed to, and breaks this Second Law of Thermodynamics!
