|---|---|
| tear gases | Gases that irritate the eyes, throat, or skin. Severe lacrimation develops upon irritation of the eyes. (12 Dec 1998) |

| tear stone | A concretion in the lacrimal apparatus. Synonym: lacrimal calculus, ophthalmolith, tear stone. Origin: dacryo-+ G. Lithos, stone (05 Mar 2000) |
| tear-thumb | <botany> A name given to several species of plants of the genus Polygonum, having angular stems beset with minute reflexed prickles. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| anterior basal branch | Anterior basal branch of basal parts of the inferior lobar branches of the right and left pulmonary arteries, and superior basal branches of the right and left inferior pulmonary veins. Synonym: ramus basalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior basal segment | Anterior basal segment of inferior lobe of right and left lung; lies between middle lobe and diaphragm. Synonym: segmentum basale anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal | Pertaining to or situated near a base. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basal age | The highest mental age level of the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale at which all items are passed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal anaesthesia | Parenteral administration of one or more sedatives to produce a state of depressed consciousness short of a general anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal area | <botany> The cross-sectional area of a tree trunk measured in square inches, square centimetres, etc., basal area is normally measured at 4.5 feet above ground level and is used as a measure of dominance, the most commonly used tool for measuring basal area is a diameter tape or a D-tape (then convert to basal area). (09 Oct 1997) |
| basal body | <cell biology> Structure found at the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella consisting of a continuation of the nine outer sets of axonemal microtubules but with the addition of a C tubule to form a triplet (like the centriole). May be self replicating and serves as a nucleating centre for axonemal assembly. Anchored in the cytoplasm by rootlets. Synonymous with kinetosome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basal body temperature | <biology> The temperature taken at its lowest point in the day, usually in the morning before getting out of bed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| basal bone | The osseus tissue of the mandible and maxillae except the alveolar processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal cell | <pathology> General term for relatively undifferentiated cells in an epithelial sheet that give rise to more specialised cells act as stem cells). In the stratified squamous epithelium of mammalian skin the basal cells of the epidermis (stratum basale) give rise by an unequal division to another basal cell and to cells that progress through the spinous, granular and horny layers, becoming progressively more keratinised, the outermost being shed as squames. In olfactory mucosa the basal cells give rise to olfactory and sustentacular cells. In the epithelium of epididymis their function is unclear, but they probably serve as stem cells. (13 Nov 1997) |
