| 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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| glomus jugulare | <radiology> Most common tumour in jugular fossa with intracranial extension, origin: adventitia of jugular bulb, location: dome of jugular bulb, symptoms: tinnitus, hearing loss, findings: destruction of posterioinferior petrous pyramid and corticojugular spine, soft tissue mass in jugular bulb region, hypotympanicum, middle ear, destruction of ossicles (usually incus), otic capsule, posteromedial surface of petrous bone, MRI: salt and pepper appearance (multiple tumour vessels), angio: hypervascular mass; invasion/obstruction of the jugular bulb by thrombus/tumour; AV shunting, malignant transformation with metastasis to regional nodes (2-4%) see: paraganglioma (glomus tumour) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| glomus jugulare tumour | A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. It may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. It is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glomus pulmonale | A structure similar to the carotid body, found in relation to the pulmonary artery. Synonym: glomus pulmonale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glomus tumour | A blue-red, extremely painful paraganglioma involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. They may also occur in the stomach and nasal cavity. It is composed of specialised pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter. When located in the usual subungual site, the abundant innervation makes the tumour exquisitely painful; when located elsewhere, the glomus tumour is painless. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glomus tympanicum | <radiology> Paraganglioma of middle ear, most common neoplasm of middle ear, arises from tympanic branch of glossopharyngeal nerve, arterial supply: ascending pharyngeal artery, (arises at bifurcation: do CCA injection), glomus JUGULARE is most common tumour of temporal bone (12 Dec 1998) |
| choroid glomus | A marked enlargement of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle at the junction of the central part with the inferior horn. Synonym: glomus choroideum, choroid skein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary glomus | A structure similar to the carotid body, found in relation to the pulmonary artery. Synonym: glomus pulmonale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intravagal glomus | A minute collection of chemoreceptor cells on the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. A tumour of this glomus may cause deafness and tinnitus. Synonym: glomus intravagale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jugular glomus | A microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the jugular bulb; a tumour of this glomus may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. Synonym: glomus jugulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acrocephalosyndactyly type 1 | <paediatrics> An inherited disease (autosomal dominant) or a spontaneously occurring disease characterised by a peaked head and unusual facial appearance, due to the premature closure of the cranial sutures. A skull X-ray can confirm the diagnosis and treatment is surgical. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Alzheimer type I astrocyte | Enlarged frequently multinucleated astrocytes, seen in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alzheimer type II astrocyte | Enlarged astrocytes with vesicular nuclei and one or more small basophilic nucleoli, seen in hepatocerebral disease and Wilson's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| American Type Culture Collection | <cell culture> A key resource for cultured cells, located in Rockville, USA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Antoni type A neurilemoma | <tumour> Relatively solid or compact arrangement of neoplastic tissue that consists of Schwann cells arranged in twisting bundles and associated with delicate reticulin fibres; the nuclei of the Schwann cells are frequently grouped in parallel rows (so-called palisades), and the nuclei and fibres sometimes form exaggerated tactile corpuscles, called Verocay bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Antoni type B neurilemoma | <tumour> Relatively soft or loose arrangement of neoplastic tissue that consists of Schwann cells in a haphazard or nondescript type of arrangement among reticulin fibres and tiny cystlike foci; fat-laden macrophages may be observed in some of the larger neoplasms.
