| lateral condyle of femur | The lateral condyle is longer than the medial condyle. Synonym: condylus lateralis femoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lateral epicondyle of femur | The epicondylus located proximal to the lateral condyle. Synonym: epicondylus lateralis ossis femoris, lateral femoral tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligament of head of femur | A flattened ligament that passes from the fovea in the head of the femur to the borders of the acetabular notch (transverse acetabular ligament); developmentally, an artery passes to the head of the femur with the ligament which may or may not persist into adulthood; the ligament does not contribute to the integrity of the joint or control movements there. Synonym: ligamentum capitis femoris, ligamentum teres femoris, round ligament of femur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetyl reduction assay | <investigation> A technique for measuring the nitrogen fixation activity in photosynthetic organisms. It uses a flame ionisation detector and a gas chromatography apparatus to determine the reduction of acetylene to ethylene by the enzyme nitrogenase. (06 May 1997) |
| reduction | <orthopaedics, surgery> The correction of a fracture, dislocation or hernia. (18 Nov 1997) |
| reduction deformity | Congenital absence or attenuation of one or more body parts; usually of the limbs or limb components. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction division | The first cell division in meiosis, the process by which germ cells are formed. A unique event in which the chromosome number is reduced from diploid (46 chromosomes) to haploid (23 chromosomes). Also called first meiotic division or first meiosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reduction en masse | Reduction of hernial sac and contents, so that intestinal obstruction is still present. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction mammaplasty | Plastic surgery of the breast to reduce its size and (frequently) to improve its shape and position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction nucleus | A nucleus that degenerates in the cell during the changes incident to fertilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction of chromosomes | The process during meiosis whereby one member of each homologous pair of chromosomes is distributed to a sperm or ovum; the diploid set of chromosomes (46 in humans) is thus reduced to the haploid set in each gamete; union of the sperm and ovum then restores the diploid or somatic number in the one-cell zygote. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction phase | The stage of nuclear changes in the sexual cells during which reduction of the chromosomes takes place; it embraces the cell generations of the spermatocytes and oocytes. Synonym: reduction phase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduction potential | The inherent tendency of a compound to act as an electron donor or an electron acceptor. Measured in volts. (09 Oct 1997) |
| risk reduction | Techniques used to reduce your chances of getting a certain cancer. For example: reducing your dietary fat may help prevent breast cancer. (09 Oct 1997) |
| closed reduction | The physical manipulation of a joint or bone externally (without making a surgical incision) to affect a joint relocation or more proper anatomic alignment of broken bone fragments. Closed reductions are often performed using intravenous analgesics, local anaesthetic nerve blocks or regional anaesthesia. (27 Sep 1997) |
