| low-set ear | An ear positionned below its normal location. Classified as a minor anomaly. Technically, the ear is low-set when the helix (of the ear) meets the cranium at a level below that of a horizontal plane through both inner canthi (the inside corners of the eyes). The presence of 2 or more minor anomalies in a child increases the probability that the child has a major malformation. (12 Dec 1998) |

| centimeter-gram-second system | The scientific system of expressing the fundamental physical units of length, mass, and time, and those units derived from them, in centimeters, grams, and seconds; currently being replaced by the International System of Units based on the meter, kilogram, and second. (05 Mar 2000) |
| centimeter-gram-second unit | <unit> An absolute unit of the centimeter-gram-second system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram | A gram is the unit of measurement used to measure mass in the metric system. It is equal to the mass of one millilitre (one thousandth of a litre) of water at the temperature where water has the highest density (4 degrees C). (09 Oct 1997) |
| gram-atomic weight | Atomic weight expressed in grams. Compare: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram calorie | The quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water 1캜, or from 14.5캜 to 15.5캜 in the case of normal or standard calorie. Synonym: gram calorie. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-centimeter | The energy exerted, or work done, when a mass of 1 g is raised a height of 1 cm; equal to 9.807 × 10-5 joules or newton-meters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram equivalent | The weight in grams of an element that combines with or replaces 1 gram of hydrogen, the atomic or molecular weight in grams of an atom or group of atoms involved in a chemical reaction divided by the number of electrons donated, taken up, or shared by the atom or group of atoms in the course of that reaction, the weight of a substance contained in 1 liter of 1 normal solution; a variant of. Synonym: combining weight, equivalent weight. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gram, Hans | <person> Danish bacteriologist, 1853-1938. See: Gram's iodine, Gram's stain, Weigert-Gram stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-ion | <chemistry> The weight in grams of an ion that is equal to the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms making up the ion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-meter | <unit> A unit of energy equal to 100 gram-centimeters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-molecular weight | Molecular weight expressed in grams. Compare: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-molecule | <unit> The amount of a substance with a mass in grams equal to its molecular weight; e.g., a gram-molecule of hydrogen weighs 2.016 g, that of water 18.015 g. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-negative | <microbiology> A common class of bacteria normally found in the gastrointestinal tract that can be responsible for disease in man (sepsis). Bacteria are considered to be gram-negative because of their characteristic staining properties under the microscope, where they either do not stain or are decolourised by alcohol during Gram's method of staining. This is a primary characteristic of bacteria that have a cell wall composed of a thin layer of peptidoglycan covered by an outer membrane of lipoprotein and lipopolysaccharide containing endotoxin. The gram staining characteristics of bacteria have resulted in an important classification system for the identification of bacteria. See: gram-positive (06 Oct 1997) |
| gram-negative aerobic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
