| 영문 | nerve cell | 한글 | 신경세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경세포는 올바른 신경전달을 위한 각 부분별로 나뉘어져 있다. 신경세포에서는 전해져오는 자극을 전기적인 신호로 바뀌어 보내거나 받게 된다. 이런 전기적인 현상은 각 신경세포내에 존재하는 각 이온채널(ion channel: ion이란 나트륨, 칼륨 등을 지칭하는 말들로써, 이들이 세포막에 의해 나뉘어질 때 생기는 전압차가 전기적 자극을 일으키고 유지하는데 결정적인 역할을 한다)들의 작용에 의해 이루어지게 된다. |

| 영문 | glia cell | 한글 | 아교세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경세포 사이에서 그물구조를 이루며 이를 지지하는 조직. 신경아교세포는 신경모세포와 갈라진 아교모세포가 다시 여러 형태로 분화-성장한 것이다. 뇌실이나 척수중심관의 벽을 덮고 원주상 또는 입방형이며, 초기에는 유리면에 섬모가 있다. 대형세포는 별뇌실막세포는 아교세포라고 하며, 신경세포나 신경섬유 사이에 산재한다. 그 외에 희소돌기아교세포도 포함된다. |

| 영문 | reserve cell | 한글 | 예비세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 일반적으로 상피조직에서 이미 있던 상피세포가 손상을 받아 사멸하면 매꿔지는 그 밑에 있는 미분화세포 예를 들면, 기관지 내표면을 덮는 중층 원주 상피의 기저에 있는 작은 미분화 상피 세포. |

| 영문 | stem cell | 한글 | 줄기세포, 간세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| centre of ossification | The site of earliest bone formation via accumulation of osteoblasts within connective tissue (membranous ossification) or of earliest destruction of cartilage prior to onset of ossification (endochondral ossification). Synonym: punctum ossificationis, ossific centre, point of ossification. (05 Mar 2000) |

| centre of ridge | The buccolingual midline of the residual ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| centre of rotation | A point or line around which all other points in a body move. See: axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory centre | The region in the medulla oblongata concerned with integrating afferent information to determine the signals to the respiratory muscles; the inspiratory and expiratory centre's considered together. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chiral centre | <chemistry> A tetrahedral carbon atom that bears four different substituents. (09 Jan 1998) |
| chondrification centre | A site of earliest cartilage formation in the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| guiding centre | <radiobiology> Particles placed in a magnetic field will gyrate in circles around the magnetic field lines, and drift in various directions. The guiding centre represents the instantaneous centre of the circular motion. The idea is that you can think of the guiding centre as drifting, and the particle as orbiting the guiding centre. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ciliospinal centre | The preganglionic motor neurons in the first thoracic segment of the spinal cord which give rise to the sympathetic innervation of the dilator muscle of the eye's pupil. Synonym: Budge's centre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microtubule organising centre | <cell biology> Rather amorphous region of cytoplasm from which microtubules radiate. The pattern and number of microtubules is determined by the microtubule organising centre. The pericentriolar region is the major microtubule organising centre in animal cells, the basal body of a cilium is another example. Activity of microtubule organising centres can be regulated, but the mechanism is unclear. Acronym: MTOC (18 Nov 1997) |
| microtubule-organizing centre | A locus in interphase and mitotic cells from which most microtubules radiate; in the centre of this centre is the centriole; this centre determines the polarity of cellular microtubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| photosynthetic reaction centre, bacterial | A system consisting of proteins and cofactors which acts as a light-driven electron pump across the photosynthetic membrane of photosynthetic bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| photosynthetic reaction centre, plant | A system consisting of proteins and cofactors which facilitates light energy and electron transfer in plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Wernicke's centre | The region of the cerebral cortex thought to be essential for understanding and formulating coherent, propositional speech; it encompasses a large region of the parietal and temporal lobes near the lateral sulcus of the left cerebral hemisphere; corresponding approximately to Brodmann's areas 40, 39, and 22. Synonym: sensory speech centre, Wernicke's area, Wernicke's field, Wernicke's region, Wernicke's zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| community mental health centre | A mental health treatment centre located in a neighborhood catchment area close to the homes of patients, introduced in the 1960's via new federal legislation designed to replace the large state hospitals, which usually were located in remote rural areas; features include offering a series of comprehensive services by one or more members of the four mental health professions, provision of continuity of care, participation of consumers in the centres, community location to provide accessibility, a combination of indirect or preventive and direct services, the use of program-centreed as well as case-centreed consultation, a requirement for program evaluation, and various linkages to a variety of health and human services. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor speech centre | The posterior part of the inferior frontal gyrus of the left or dominant hemisphere, corresponding approximately to Brodmann's area 44; Broca identified this region as an essential component of the motor mechanisms governing articulated speech. Synonym: Broca's area, Broca's field, motor speech centre. (05 Mar 2000) |
