| conjugate planes/points | <microscopy> Planes (or points) that are in focus relative to each other. In a microscope adjusted for Koehler illumination, there are two sets of conjugate planes: the aperture planes and the field planes. See: field planes, Koehler illumination (05 Aug 1998) |
|---|---|
| conjugate point | A point so related to another that an object at one is imaged at the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated | Acting or operating as if joined, simultaneous. (18 Nov 1997) |
| conjugated antigen | A hapten that may cause the production of antibodies when it has been covalently linked to protein. Synonym: conjugated antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated bilirubin | Conjugated bilirubin = Direct bilirubin. Bilirubin that has been chemically attached to a glucuronide in the liver. The bilirubin that is excreted into the bile by the liver and stored in the gallbladder or transferred to the duodenum. Normal direct bilirubin is 0 to 0.3 mg/dl. Greater than normal values can be seen in bile duct obstruction, cirrhosis, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, Dubin-Johnson syndrome and hepatitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| conjugated compound | A compound formed by the union of two compound's (as by the elimination of water between an alcohol and an organic acid to form an ester) and easily converted to the original compound's (hydrolysis). See: conjugation. Compare: condensation compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated double bonds | Two or more double bond separated by each single bond. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated hapten | A hapten that may cause the production of antibodies when it has been covalently linked to protein. Synonym: conjugated antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated oestrogen | <pharmacology> An amorphous preparation of naturally occurring, water-soluble, conjugated forms of mixed oestrogen's obtained from the urine of pregnant mares; the principal oestrogen present is sodium estrone sulfate; suitable for parenteral, oral, and topical administration, and used in conditions responsive to oestrogen therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugated protein | A protein that contains atleast one prosthetic group. (09 Oct 1997) |
| external conjugate | The distance in a straight line between the depression under the last spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: Baudelocque's diameter, external conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| external conjugate diameter | The distance in a straight line between the depression under the last spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: Baudelocque's diameter, external conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| false conjugate | The anteroposterior dimension of the inlet that measures the clinical distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the lower margin of the symphysis pubica. Synonym: conjugata diagonalis, diagonal conjugate diameter, false conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| folic acid conjugate | A folate with three molecules of glutamic acid (pteropterin) instead of one, or with seven (pteroylheptaglutamic acid or vitamin Bc conjugate). (05 Mar 2000) |
