| siderotic nodules | Small firm spheroidal or irregular foci that are yellow-brown, brown, or rustlike in colour, occurring chiefly in the spleen in such conditions as congestive splenomegaly and sickle cell disease, and consisting of relatively dense fibrous tissue or collagenous fibres impregnated with iron pigment and calcium salts; probably result from organization and scarring of sites where small perivascular haemorrhages occurred. Synonym: Gamna-Gandy nodules, Gandy-Gamna bodies, siderotic nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |

| singer's nodules | Small, circumscribed, bilateral, beadlike enlargements on the vocal cords caused by overuse or abuse of the voice; often reversible by voice therapy. Synonym: singer's nodes, singer's nodules, teachers' nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| small bowel nodules | <radiology> Lymphoid hyperplasia, lymphoma, metastasis (12 Dec 1998) |
| solitary nodules of intestine | Minute collections of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the small and large intestines, being especially numerous in the caecum and appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici solitarii, solitary follicles, solitary glands, solitary nodules of intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic lymph nodules | Small nodular masses of lymphoid tissue attached to the sides of the smaller arterial branches. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici lienales, malpighian bodies, malpighian corpuscles, malpighian glands, malpighian nodules, splenic corpuscles, splenic lymph nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dalen-Fuchs nodules | Collections of epithelial cells lying between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium in sympathetic ophthalmia and rarely in other granulomatous intraocular inflammations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal mucosal nodules | <radiology> Glycogenic acanthosis, oesophagitis (especially monilial), superficial spreading carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| Jeanselme's nodules | A form of tertiary yaws that is characterised by the occurrence of nodule's on the arms and legs, situated usually near the joints. Synonym: juxta-articular nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juxta-articular nodules | A form of tertiary yaws that is characterised by the occurrence of nodule's on the arms and legs, situated usually near the joints. Synonym: juxta-articular nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air plant | <botany> A plant deriving its sustenance from the air alone; an aerophyte. The "Florida moss" (Tillandsia), many tropical orchids, and most mosses and lichens are air plants. Those which are lodged upon trees, but not parasitic on them, are epiphytes. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| aquatic plant | <botany> Plants that must grow in water whether rooted in the mud or floating without anchorage, plants that must complete part or all of their life cycle in or near the water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| C3 plant | <plant biology> Plants that fix carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by the Calvin Benson cycle. The enzyme responsible for carbon dioxide fixation is RuDP carboxylase, whose products are compounds containing three carbon atoms. C3 plants are typical of temperate climates. Photorespiration in these plants is high. (07 Nov 1997) |
| C4 plant | <plant biology> Plants found principally in hot climates whose initial fixation of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is by the HSK pathway. The enzyme responsible is PEP carboxylase, whose products contain four carbon atoms. Subsequently the carbon dioxide is released and re fixed by the Calvin Benson cycle. The presence of the HSK pathway permits efficient photosynthesis at high light intensities and low carbon dioxide concentrations. most species of this type have little or no photorespiration.

| vascular plant | A plant which possesses a well-developed system of conducting tissue to transport water, mineral salts and sugars. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene expression regulation, plant | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
