| BCAT | brachiocephalic arterial trunk |
| Cloudman melanoma | <tumour> A transplantable melanoma that arose spontaneously in a mouse of DBA strain, and which grows and metastasizes in mice of related strains. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| halo melanoma | <tumour> A rare condition in which a melanoma is surrounded by an irregular area of depigmentation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Harding-Passey melanoma | <tumour> A melanin-forming tumour that arose spontaneously in a non-inbred mouse, and that is transplantable to mice of many strains but does not ordinarily metastasize. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Xiphophorus melanoma receptor kinase | <enzyme> Growth factor receptor protein with an extracellular ligand binding domain and an intracellular catalytic domain Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: xmrk protein (26 Jun 1999) |
| nodular melanoma | <tumour> Primary cutaneous melanoma characterised by dermal invasion extending to the lateral margins of epidermal involvement or ulceration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subungual melanoma | <tumour> A melanoma beginning in the skin at the border of or beneath the nail. Synonym: melanotic whitlow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial spreading melanoma | <tumour> Primary cutaneous melanoma characterised by intraepidermal growth extending laterally beyond the site of dermal invasion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory nerve trunk | Part of the accessory nerve formed within the cranial cavity by the union of the cranial and spinal roots, which then divides within the jugular foramen into internal and external branches, the former uniting with the vagus, the latter exiting the foramen as in independent branch which is commonly considered to be the accessory nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bathing trunk nevus | These large pigmented (often hairy) congenital nevi are important because of their increased risk (10 to 15%) of conversion into malignant melanoma. A biopsy can confirm if cells have turned malignant. Any change in a pre-existing nevus should prompt a physician evaluation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bifurcation of pulmonary trunk | The division of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries. Synonym: bifurcatio trunci pulmonalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachiocephalic trunk | The first and largest artery branching from the aortic arch. It distributes blood to the right side of the head and neck and to the right arm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchomediastinal trunk | A lymphatic vessel arising from the union of the efferent lymphatics from the tracheo-bronchial and mediastinal nodes on either side. On the left side, it may be largely replaced by direct drainage into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus bronchiomediastinalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagal trunk | One of the two nerve bundles, anterior and posterior, into which the oesophageal plexus continues as it passes through the diaphragm. Synonym: truncus vagalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valve of pulmonary trunk | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve on closure prohibits the backwash of unoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. The pulmonic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ganglia of sympathetic trunk | The clusters of postganglionic neurons located at intervals along the sympathetic trunks, including the superior cervical, middle cervical, and cervicothoracic (stellate) ganglion, the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral ganglia, and the ganglion impar. Synonym: ganglia trunci sympathici, paravertebral ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
