| plant root cap | A cone-shaped structure in plants made up of a mass of meristematic cells that covers and protects the tip of a growing root. It is the putative site of gravity sensing in plant roots. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cradle cap | <dermatology> A form of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp in infants that is characterised by flaky or scaly skin which may be reddened. May involve the skin on the nose, eyebrows, scalp, ears and skin of the trunk (in skin folds). A weak 0.5% hydrocortisone cream can be effective in controlling this problem. (27 Sep 1997) |

Imbalances of calcium can lead to many health problems and excess calcium in nerve cells can cause their death. (22 May 1997) |
| calcium-45 | <radiobiology> Most easily available of the radioactive calcium-45 isotopes; beta-emitter with a half-life of 162.7 days; used as a tracer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium-47 | <radiobiology> A radioisotope of calcium with a half-life of 4.54 days, used in the diagnosis of disorders of calcium metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
