| 설명 | 자신의 대상에 필요가 없는 물질을 만들어 분비하는 세포가 모여서 만드는 구조. 즉 분비물을 제조하는 세포가 모인 것이다. 선에는 내분비샘과 외분비샘의 2가지가 있다. 내분비샘이란 몸밖이 아닌 내부, 즉 직접 혈중으로 분비물을 분비하는 샘으로 이 때에 분비되는 물질을 호르몬이라고 한다. 이것은 주로 몸안의 다른 세포에 작용을 하여 그 세포의 대사, 분열 등의 변화를 초래하고 몸의 환경의 변화에 따른 적응을 돕는 역할을 한다. 외분비샘이란 몸밖으로 관구조를 통하여 분비물을 내보내는 샘을 말한다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌의 중앙선부위의 등쪽에 존재하는 내분비기관이다. 솔방울샘은 melatonin을 분비한다. 동물에서는 성분화발달에 기여하는 것으로 되어 있으나, 사람에서는 그 기능이 아직 명확치 않다. |

| 영문 | salivary gland | 한글 | 침샘, 타액선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 입 속으로 침을 분비하는 외분비샘으로 인체에는 세 쌍의 침샘이 있는데 귀밑샘, 턱밑샘 및 혀밑샘이 그들이다. 침샘은 분류상으로 소화기계통의 한 장기이며, 소화관의 한 부속샘으로 구분된다. 혀밑샘은 그 외 구강 점막 내에 산재하고 있는 수많은 작은 침샘과 같이 묽은 용액을 끊임없이 분비하고 있지만, 귀밑샘과 턱밑샘은 자극을 받을 때만 침을 분비한다. |

| bed-wetting | The involuntary passage of urine at nighttime in children age 4 to 5 years. most bed-wetting stops by the age of three. Enuresis is twice as common in boys as in females. Causes have been attributed to delay in bladder muscle development, adjustment disorder (parents too controlling or aggressive, too early (and too coercive) of toilet training, diabetes and spinal cord lesions (rare). A urinary tract infection should be excluded in the cases of a sudden onset of bed-wetting. Treatment includes behaviour modification (rewarding good behaviour), supportive and helpful attitude by parents, limiting fluids at bedtime and alarm devices (a sleep pad that sets off an alarm when it gets wet). Vasopressin nasal spray has been used successfully to treat this condition in some children. (27 Sep 1997) |

| Gatch bed | A bed with divided sections for independent elevation of a patient's head and knees. (05 Mar 2000) |
| water bed | A mattress in the form of a closed rubber bag filled with water; used to prevent or treat pressure sores by equalizing the distribution of the patient's weight against the support. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mud bed | A bed in which the mattress consists of semiliquid mud made from special clays, covered with a sheet of plastic material; used to widely distribute the pressure of the body weight over the dependent surface, for patients with burns or large anaesthetic areas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crests of nail bed | The numerous longitudinal ridges of the nail bed distal to the lunula. Synonym: cristae matricis unguis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hospital bed capacity | The number of beds which a hospital has been designed and constructed to contain. It may also refer to the number of beds set up and staffed for use. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nail bed | The area of the corium on which the nail rests; it is extremely sensitive and presents numerous longitudinal ridges on its surface. According to some anatomists, the nail bed is the portion covered by the body of the nail, the nail matrix being only the part on which the root of the nail rests. Synonym: matrix unguis, keratogenous membrane, nail matrix, onychostroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fluidised-bed boiler | A large, refractory-lined vessel with an air distribution member or plate in the bottom, a hot gas outlet in or near the top, and some provisions for introducing fuel. The fluidised bed is formed by blowing air up through a layer of inert particles (such as sand or limestone) at a rate that causes the particles to go into suspension and continuous motion. The super-hot bed material increased combustion efficiency by its direct dontact with the fuel. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fracture bed | A narrow, extra-firm bed for treatment of fractures; usually incorporates an overhead frame for traction apparatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid | <anatomy> Situated near the ear; applied especially to the salivary gland near the ear. Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the parotid gland. <anatomy> Parotid gland, one of the salivary glands situated just in front of or below the ear. It is the largest of the salivary glands in man, and its duct opens into the interior of the mouth opposite the second molar of the upper jaw. Origin: L. Parotis, -idis, Gr,; beside, near +, the ear: cf. F. Parotide. <anatomy> The parotid gland. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

Synonym: rami parotidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
