| coeliac sprue | <gastroenterology> An inherited disease where the intestinal lining is inflamed in response to the ingestion of a protein known as gluten. Gluten is present in many grains including rye, oats, barley and triticale. Symptoms in infants include diarrhoea, slow growth, bloody stools, weight loss, vomiting and clay-coloured stools. Symptoms in adults include abdominal distention, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, bone pain and bone tenderness. Treatment involves the life-long avoidance of gluten. (10 Jan 1998) |
| coeliac syndrome | <disease, gastroenterology> Gluten enteropathy: atrophy of villi in small intestine leads to impaired absorption of nutrients. Caused by sensitivity to gluten (protein of wheat and rye). Sufferers have serum antibodies to gluten and show delayed hypersensitivity to gluten, the risk factor is ten times greater in HLA B8 positive individuals. (18 Nov 1997) |

| coelom | <biology, embryology> An internal fluid-filled body cavity (other than the gut) within an organism, it lies between the gut (derived from the endoderm) and the outer body wall (derived from the ectoderm) and is lined entirely with tissue derived from the mesoderm. It is formed from the mesoderm during embryonic development. It is found in triploblastic animals called coelomates. (09 Oct 1997) |
| coelomate | <embryology> A triploblastic organism which has an internal, fluid-filled body cavity which originated from the mesoderm during embryonic development. This cavity surrounds the gut, may contain various other organs, and is called a coelom. It differs from the pseudocoels of the pseudocoelomates because it is not derived from the blastocoel. The term is used to classify multicellular animals by developmental pattern. (09 Oct 1997) |
