| helix-coil transition | <molecular biology> A change in the structure of a nucleic acid or protein molecule from a highly ordered, complex structure to a random, chaotic structure. Also means that the protein or nucleic acid becomes denatured. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| surface coil | A detector coil applied directly to a body part for high resolution imaging; often a single loop of metal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detector coil | A coil used in magnetic resonance imaging as an antenna to record radiofrequency emissions of stimulated nuclei, e.g., body coil, head coil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| e-coil | <radiobiology> The plasma current driving (Ohmic Heating) coil in a Doublet device. Ideally the E-coil makes no magnetic field in the confinement system. (09 Oct 1997) |
| aperture diaphragm | A metal device that limits the area of the beam emerging from an X-ray tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bucky diaphragm | In radiography, a diaphragm with a moving grid that avoids grid shadows. Synonym: Potter-Bucky diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paradoxical diaphragm phenomenon | In pyopneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, and some cases of injury, the diaphragm on the affected side rises during inspiration and falls during expiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebral part of diaphragm | The portion of the diaphragm that arises from the upper lumbar vertebrae and from the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments. See: right crus of diaphragm, left crus of diaphragm, lateral arcuate ligament, medial arcuate ligament. Synonym: pars lumbalis diaphragmatis, vertebral part of diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central tendon of diaphragm | A three-lobed fibrous sheet occupying the centre of the diaphragm. Synonym: centrum tendineum diaphragmatis, trefoil tendon. Central tendon of perineum, the fibromuscular mass between the anal canal and the urogenital diaphragm in the median plane; midline episiotomies extend into this structure. Synonym: centrum tendineum perinei, perineal body, Savage's perineal body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelvic diaphragm | Diaphragm of pelvis, the paired levator ani and coccygeus muscles together with the fascia above and below them. Synonym: diaphragma pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right crus of diaphragm | The muscular origin of the diaphragm from the bodies of the upper three or four lumbar vertebrae that passes upward to the right of the aorta toward the central tendon; the oesophageal hiatus is a parting of the fibres of the right crus to allow passage of the oesophagus. Synonym: crus dextrum diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital hernia of the diaphragm | A condition present at birth where there is abnormal protrusion of abdominal contents upward through a defect in the diaphragm. This condition is treated as a surgical emergency due to interference with the infant's breathing. Smaller, less serious diaphragmatic hernias may also be seen in adults. (27 Sep 1997) |
| costal part of diaphragm | The part of the diaphragm that arises from the inner aspect of the lower six costal cartilages and the lower four ribs and inserts on the anterolateral part of the central tendon. Synonym: pars costalis diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Potter-Bucky diaphragm | In radiography, a diaphragm with a moving grid that avoids grid shadows. Synonym: Potter-Bucky diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternal part of diaphragm | The small slip on each side that arises from the inner surface of the xiphoid process and inserts on the central tendon. Synonym: pars sternalis diaphragmatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
