| complementarity determining regions | That part of an antibody or T-cell receptor variable region that binds with antigen or antigen/major histocompatibility molecule. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| promoter regions | <genetics> DNA sequences which are recognised (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription. Highly conserved sequences within the promoter include the pribnow box in bacteria and the tata box in eukaryotes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scaffold-associated regions | Sites in DNA that bind topoisomerase II and other scaffold proteins; found in introns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypervariable regions | The regions of the immunoglobulin molecule that contain most of the residues involved in the antibody binding site. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminator regions (genetics) | DNA sequences which signal the termination of transcription. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anal | <anatomy> Pertaining to the anus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| anal atresia | A congenital obstruction of the anal opening. Occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 infants. This condition is corrected through surgery. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anal canal | The terminal portion of the alimentary canal; it extends from the pelvic diaphragm to the anal orifice. Synonym: canalis analis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal cleft | The sulcus between the buttocks (nates). Synonym: crena ani, anal cleft, crena clunium, gluteal cleft. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal columns | A number of vertical ridges in the mucous membrane of the upper half of the anal canal formed as the caliber of the canal is sharply reduced from that of the rectal ampulla. Synonym: columnae anales, Morgagni's columns, rectal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal crypts | The grooves between the anal columns. Synonym: Morgagni's sinus. Pockets or crypts in the columnar zone of the anal canal between the anocutaneous line and the anorectal line; the sinuses give the mucosa a scalloped appearance. Synonym: sinus anales, anal crypts, Morgagni's crypts, rectal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal ducts | Short duct's lined with simple columnar to stratified columnar epithelium that extend from the valvulae anales to the sinus anales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal erotism | Pleasurable experience centreed around defecation and related activities associated with the anal zone, especially during the anal phase in one-to three-year-old children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal fascia | The fascia that covers the inferior aspect of the levator ani and coccygeus muscles. Synonym: fascia diaphragmatis pelvis inferior, anal fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal fissure | A tear or superficial laceration that can occur in the mucosa that lines the anal canal. (27 Sep 1997) |
