| conjugate of pelvic inlet | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |

| conjugate of pelvic outlet | The distance from the tip of the coccyx to the lower edge of the pubic symphysis. See: obstetric conjugate of pelvic outlet. Synonym: conjugate diameter of pelvic outlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| points, conjugate | <microscopy> The pair of points on the principal axis of a mirror or lens so located that light emitted from either point will be focused at the other. Related points in the object and image are located optically so that one is the image of the other. See: polarizing element (05 Aug 1998) |
| cysteine conjugate S-oxidase | <enzyme> Converts s-benzyl-l-cysteine to s-benzyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide; uses o2 and NADPH; may be a flavin-containing monooxygenase Registry number: EC 1.13.12- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine conjugate transaminase | <enzyme> Generates thiopyruvates by deamination of cysteine conjugates leaving the r-s-c bond intact Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- Synonym: cysteine-conjugate alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses n-acetylation of l-cysteine thioesters to form mercapturic acids; important in drug detoxication Registry number: EC 2.3.1.80 Synonym: cscn acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| self-conjugate | <geometry> Having the two things that are conjugate parts of the same figure; as, self-conjugate triangles. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| diagonal 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) |
| diagonal conjugate diameter | 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) |
| internal conjugate | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstetric conjugate | The diameter that represents the shortest diameter through which the head must pass in descending into the superior strait and measures, by means of X-ray, the distance from the promontory of the sacrum to a point on the inner surface of the symphysis a few millimeters below its upper margin. Synonym: obstetric conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
