| elementary body |
1. old term for platelet. 2. an inclusion body. 3. the infectious extracellular form of Chlamydia, consisting of electron-dense nuclear material and a few ribosomes surrounded by a rigid trilaminar wall. Elementary bodies are taken up into cells where they reorganize into reticulate bodies (qv); following reproduction, chlamydiae are released from the cell as elementary bodies.

| electron transport chain |
the series of electron carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane that pass electrons from reduced coenzymes (NADH, FADH 2 ) to molecular oxygen via sequential redox reactions coupled to vectorial transduction of protons across the membrane. The chain is the final common pathway of biological oxidation, using O 2 for fuel combustion; the energy produced is utilized for ATP synthesis, ion translocation, and protein synthesis. See illustration. See also oxidative phosphorylation. ...

| electric |
Electricity is a property of certain subatomic particles (e.g. electrons / protons) which couples to electromagnetic fields and causes attractive and repulsive forces between them. Electricity gives rise to one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and is a conserved property of matter that can be quantified. In this sense, the phrase "quantity of electricity" is used interchangeably with the phrases "charge of electricity" and "quantity of charge. ...

| electric shock |
An electric shock may occur upon contact with electricity. An electric shock can be lethal, but the level of voltage is not a direct guide to lethality, despite the popularity of such a measure. Physiological effects are determined by voltage, current and duration. A high voltage and a high current together are lethal, but so are a lower voltage and current of extended duration. ...
