| reciprocal arm | A clasp arm or other extension used on a removable partial denture to oppose the action of some other part or parts of the appliance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| p arm of a chromosome | The short arm of a chromosome (from the french petit meaning small). All human chromosomes have 2 arms: the p and q arms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| passive length-tension curve | The relationship between passive tension and preload (rest length) for a muscle at rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| required arch length | The sum of the mesiodistal widths of the permanent teeth from first permanent molar to first permanent molar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resting length | The length at rest from which a muscle develops maximum isometric tension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| restriction fragment length polymorphism | <molecular biology, technique> A method that allows familial relationships to be established by comparing the characteristic polymorphic patterns that are obtained when certain regions of genomic DNA are amplified (typically by PCR) and cut with certain restriction enzymes. The variation in the length of DNA fragments produced by a restriction endonuclease that cuts at a polymorphic locus. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes. This is a key tool in DNA fingerprinting, reflecting the existence of different alleles in the individual. Restriction fragment length polymorphism mapping is also used in plant breeding to see if a key trait such as disease resistance is inherited. In principle, an individual can be identified unambiquously by restriction fragment length polymorphism hence the use of restriction fragment length polymorphism in forensic analysis of blood, hair or semen). Similarly, if a polymorphism can be identified close to the locus of a genetic defect, it provides a valuable marker for tracing the inheritance of the defect. Synonym: DNA fingerprinting. Acronym: RFLP (12 Jan 1998) |
| restriction length polymorphism | Fragment length polymorphism, the existence of allelic forms recognizable by the length of fragments that result when the nucleotide chain is treated by a specific restriction enzyme that cleaves wherever a particular sequence of nucleotides occurs. A mutation in this sequence changes cleaving and hence the number of fragments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention arm | A flexible segment of a removable partial denture that engages an undercut on an abutment and is designed to retain the denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retentive circumferential clasp arm | An arm that is flexible and engages the infrabulge at the terminal end of the arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greatest length | Measurement from the cranial to caudal end of the embryo prior to folding. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumferential clasp arm | A clasp arm which has its origin in a minor connector and which follows the contour of the tooth approximately in a plane perpendicular to the path of insertion of the partial denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clasp arm | A portion of a clasp of a removable partial denture which projects from the clasp body and helps retain the partial denture in position in the mouth. See: clasp. (05 Mar 2000) |
| whole-arm fusion | <genetics, molecular biology> A break in the shortest arms of two acrocentric chromosomes followed by the fusion of the long arms into a single chromosome. (13 Nov 1997) |
