|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 체표나 소화관 등 신체 내외표면에의 분비를 행하는 샘. 땀샘, 눈물샘, 젓샘, 소화샘 등이 있다. 일반적으로는 분비물을 합성하는 샘세포의 집합체인 샘체와 분비물의 배출을 위한 도관으로 된다. |

| 영문 | mammary glands | 한글 | 젖샘, 유선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 정상적으로 아기를 낳은 산모에서는 뇌에서 젖분비호르몬(prolactin)의 분비가 증가하여 젖샘에서 젖을 만들게 된다. 이 때 젖의 분비를 촉진시키는 것으로는 아기가 젖을 빠는 행위 등이 있으며, 젖샘에서 생산된 모유는 젖샘관을 거쳐 젖꼭지를 통해 밖으로 나가게 된다. |

| bronchial respiration | A tubular blowing sound caused by the passage of air through a bronchus in an area of consolidated lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bronchial spasm | Spasmodic contraction of the smooth muscle of the bronchi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bronchial tubes | <anatomy> The bronchial tubes which arise from the branching of the trachea, especially. The subdivision of the bronchi. Origin: L, pl. Cf. Bronchus. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| bronchial veins | Many veins running in front of and behind the bronchi and uniting into two main trunks which empty on the right side into the azygos vein, on the left into the accessory hemiazygos or the left superior intercostal vein. Synonym: venae bronchiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial voice | A modification of the voice sounds, by which they are intensified and heightened in pitch; observed in auscultation of the chest in certain cases of intro-thoracic disease. Origin: Gr. Windpipe + sound. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| trans-bronchial biopsy | <chest medicine, procedure> A biopsy that is performed through the wall of the bronchus (using the bronchoscope). This involves obtaining a small piece of lung tissue for microscopic analysis. This is a useful alternative to an open surgical biopsy, where an incision must be made. (17 Mar 1998) |
| accessory lacrimal glands | Small, compound, branched, tubular glands located in the middle part of the lid (Wolfring's glands, 1872, or Ciaccio's glands, 1874) and along the superior and inferior fornices of the conjunctival sac (Krause's glands, 1854). These accessory glands are just scattered scraps of lacrimal gland tissue; all of them produce the same kind of tears and debouch on to the conjunctival surface. Henle's and Baumgarten's "glands" are in fact not glands at all, but mere epithelial invaginations. Synonym: glandulae lacrimales accessoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory suprarenal glands | Isolated, often minute, masses of suprarenal tissue sometimes found near the main glands or in the broad ligament or the epididymis. Synonym: glandulae suprarenales accessoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aggregate glands | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| agminate glands | Lymphoid organs located in the sub mucosal tissue of the mammalian gut containing very high proportions of IgA secreting precursor cells. The patches have B and T dependent regions and germinal centres. A specialised epithelium lies between the patch and the intestine. Involved in gut associated immunity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Albarran's glands | Minute submucosal glands or branching tubules in the subcervical region of the prostate gland, emptying for the most part into the posterior portion of the urethra. Synonym: Albarran y Dominguez' tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apocrine glands | Large, branched, specialised sweat glands that empty into the upper portion of a hair follicle instead of directly onto the skin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apocrine sweat glands | Sudoriferous glands that develop in association with hair follicles and undergo enlargement and secretory development at puberty; they secrete a viscous and odourless sweat that supports the growth of bacteria leading to an acrid odour; secretion is by an eccrine, not apocrine, mechanism. Synonym: axillary sweat glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| areolar glands | A number of small mammary glands forming small rounded projections from the surface of the areola of the breast; they enlarge with pregnancy and during lactation secrete a substance presumed to resist chapping. Synonym: glandulae areolares, Montgomery's follicles, Montgomery's glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arytenoid glands | A large number of mixed glands in the mucous membrane of the larynx; they are called, according to their situation, anterior, middle, and posterior. Synonym: glandulae laryngeae, laryngeal glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
