| salt bridge | <chemistry> A U-tube containing an electrolyte that connects the two compartments of a voltaic cell, allowing ion flow without extensive mixing of the different solutions. (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| nose-bridge-lid reflex | Contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscles upon tapping the margin of the orbit, or the bridge or tip of the nose. Synonym: nose-bridge-lid reflex, nose-eye reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentin bridge | A deposit of reparative dentin or other calcific substances which forms across and reseals exposed tooth pulp tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disulfide bridge | A disulfide linkage between two cysteinyl residues in a poly-or oligopeptide or in a protein, any disulfide linkage between any thiol-containing moieties of a larger molecule. Synonym: cystine bridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disulphide bridge | <chemistry> A covalent link made by a cystine residue that joins two polypeptide chains. (09 Oct 1997) |
| extension bridge | A fixed partial bridge denture in which the pontic is retained only on one side by an abutment tooth. Synonym: extension bridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fixed bridge | A restoration of one or more missing teeth which cannot be readily removed by the patient or dentist; it is permanently attached to natural teeth or roots which furnish the primary support to the appliance. Synonym: bridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| afferent loop syndrome | <syndrome> A complication of gastrojejunostomy, caused by acute or chronic obstruction of the afferent loop due to hernia, intussusception, kinking, volvulus, etc. It is characterised by pain and vomiting of bile-stained fluid and includes acute afferent loop obstruction and bilious vomiting. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arch-loop-whorl system | See: Galton's system of classification of fingerprints. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Biebl loop | A continuous loop of small intestine brought through the abdominal wall to a subcutaneous location, for observation of motility. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blind loop syndrome | <syndrome> Malabsorption, especially of vitamin b12 or folic acid, due to metabolic competition by bacteria proliferating in a segment of small intestine excluded from normal peristaltic movement; it may occur as a postoperative complication of side-to-side anastomosis of intestine, as a result of intestinal diverticula, fistula, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bulboventricular loop | The portion of the early-somite embryonic cardiac tube that evolves into the ventricle and bulbus cordis. Synonym: ventricular loop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gamma loop | The reflex arc consisting of small anterior horn cells and neuroma, their small fibres projecting to the intrafusal bundle producing its contraction, which initiates the afferent impulses that pass through the posterior root to the anterior horn cells, inducing a stretch reflex. Synonym: gamma motor neurons, gamma motor system, Granit's loop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vector loop | <physiology> An irregular, usually elliptical, curve representing the average direction and magnitude of the heart's action from moment to moment throughout the cardiac cycle. See: vector, vectorcardiogram. (06 Mar 2000) |
| gastrojejunal loop obstruction syndrome | <syndrome> A complication of gastrojejunostomy, caused by acute or chronic obstruction of the afferent loop due to hernia, intussusception, kinking, volvulus, etc. It is characterised by pain and vomiting of bile-stained fluid and includes acute afferent loop obstruction and bilious vomiting.
