| acid-base balance | The normal balance between acid and base in the blood plasma, expressed in the hydrogen ion concentration or pH, resulting from the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials ingested and produced by body metabolism, compared to the relative amounts of acidic and basic materials excreted from the body and consumed by body metabolism; the normal state of acid-base balance is not one of neutrality, with equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, but a more alkaline state with a certain excess of hydroxyl ions. Synonym: acid-base equilibrium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acid-base equilibrium | A condition in which the net rate of acid or alkali production by the body is balanced by the net rate of acid or alkali excretion from the body, resulting in a stable concentration of hydrogen ions in the body fluids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid-base imbalance | Disturbances in the acid-base equilibrium of the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> Carboxypeptidase z (scpz gene product) isolated from absidia zychae Registry number: EC 3.4.16.1 Synonym: carboxypeptidase w, carboxypeptidase yscy, carboxypeptidase cpd-s3, ybr1015 gene product, carboxypeptidase z, scpz gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| acid cell | One of the cell's of the gastric glands; it lies upon the basement membrane, covered by the chief cell's, and secretes hydrochloric acid that reaches the lumen of the gland through fine intracellular and intercellular canals (canaliculi). Synonym: acid cell, oxyntic cell. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acid-citrate-dextrose | A citrate anticoagulant used for the collection and preservation of whole blood. It has largely been replaced by newer coagulants (CPD, Adsol) that allow for longer shelf life for blood and blood products. Acronym: ACD (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid deoxyribonuclease | An endonuclease that cleaves both strands of native DNA (as well as single-stranded DNA) to produce a mixture of oligodeoxynucleotides, each ending in a 3'-phosphate. Synonym: acid deoxyribonuclease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid dextran | The product of acid and heat treatment of dextran. (05 Mar 2000) |

| acid dissociation constant | <chemistry> This is the equilibrium constant for the breaking apart of a weak acid into its hydrogen and conjugate base in a water solution. (09 Oct 1997) |
| acid dyspepsia | Dyspepsia associated with excess gastric acidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid etch | <dentistry> A procedure where a weak acid smeared on your teeth to ready your teeth for brackets. The acid etch helps your brackets stay on better. (08 Jan 1998) |
| acid etch cemented splint | A splint of heavy wire which is cemented to the labial surfaces of teeth with any of the acid etch cement techniques; used to stabilise traumatically displaced or periodontally diseased teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid-etched restoration | The restoration of tooth structure with a resin after the surface of the tooth has been treated with an acid solution that etches the tooth surface, thereby increasing retention of the restoration. (05 Mar 2000) |
