| area postrema | A small, elevated area in the lateral wall of the inferior recess of the fourth ventricle; one of the few loci in the brain where the blood-brain barrier is lacking; a chemoreceptor area associated with vomiting. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area subcallosa | A slender vertical whitish band immediately anterior to the lamina terminalis and anterior commissure; contrary to its name, it is not a cortical convolution but is the ventral continuation of the transparent septum. Synonym: area subcallosa, gyrus paraterminalis, gyrus subcallosus, pedunculus corporis callosi, corpus paraterminale, paraterminal body, paraterminal gyrus, peduncle of corpus callosum, precommissural septal area, subcallosal area, Zuckerkandl's convolution.

| area under curve | A statistical means of summarizing information from a series of measurements on one individual. It is frequently used in clinical pharmacology where the auc from serum levels can be interpreted as the total uptake of whatever has been administered. As a plot of the concentration of a drug against time, after a single dose of medicine, producing a standard shape curve, it is a means of comparing the bioavailability of the same drug made by different companies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| area under the curve | A measure of how much of a drug reaches the bloodstream in a set period of time, usually 24 hours. AUC is calculated by plotting drug blood concentration at various times during a 24-hour or longer period and then measuring the area under the curve between 0 and 24 hours as shown in the figure to the right. (09 Oct 1997) |
| area vasculosa | The part of the area opaca of the embryonic blastoderm of the chick, where the first blood vessels appear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area vestibularis inferior | The area of the fundus of the internal acoustic meatus inferior to the transverse crest through which the interior portion of the vestibular (saccular) nerve passes. Synonym: area vestibularis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area vestibularis superior | The area in the fundus of the internal acoustic meatus superior to the transverse crest through which the superior part of the vestibular nerve passes to reach the macula utriculus and the ampullae of the anterior and lateral saemicircular ducts. Synonym: area vestibularis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| areal cover | <botany, ecology> A measure of dominance that defines the degree to which above ground portions of plants cover the ground surface, it is possible for the total areal cover for all strata combined in a community or for single stratum to exceed 100 percent because: most plant communities consist of two or more vegetative strata. Areal cover is estimated by vegetative layer, and foliage within a single layer may overlap. (09 Oct 1997) |
| areata | Occurring in patches or circumscribed areas. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular area | An oval area of the sensory retina, 3 by 5 mm, temporal to the optic disk corresponding to the posterior pole of the eye; at its centre is the central fovea, which contains only retinal cones. Synonym: area centralis, macula lutea, macular area, punctum luteum, Soemmerring's spot, yellow spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gastric area | One of a number of small polygonal area's, 1-6 mm in diameter, separated by linear depressions on the surface of the mucous membrane of the stomach; they contain the gastric pits, with several gastric glands opening into each pit. Synonym: area gastrica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Panum's area | The area in and about the macula retinae in which stimulation of noncorresponding retinal points nevertheless results in stereoscopic vision. Synonym: fusion area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| management area | Management areas are specific geographical areas defined by a forest plan. Each management area has a set of objectives and a management prescription unique to it. (05 Dec 1998) |
| ventral tegmental area | A region in the mesencephalon which is dorsomedial to the substantia nigra and ventral to the red nucleus. The mesocortical and mesolimbic dopaminergic systems originate here, including an important projection to the nucleus accumbens. Overactivity of the cells in this area has been suspected to contribute to the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parastriate area | Area of the occipital lobe concerned with vision. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Martegiani's area | The funnel-shaped dilation on the optic disk that indicates the beginning of the hyaloid canal. Synonym: Martegiani's area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| germinal area | Area germinativa, the place in the blastoderm where the embryo begins to be formed. Synonym: germinal disk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parolfactory area | A small region of cerebral cortex on the medial surface of the frontal lobe, formed by the junction of the straight gyrus with the cingulate gyrus, demarcated from the subcallosal gyrus by the posterior parolfactory sulcus. Synonym: area parolfactoria, Broca's parolfactory area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular area | More specifically look at: inferior vestibular area, superior vestibular area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| catchment area | <epidemiology> A geographic area defined and served by a health program or institution. (12 Dec 1998) |
