|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자신의 대상에 필요가 없는 물질을 만들어 분비하는 세포가 모여서 만드는 구조. 즉 분비물을 제조하는 세포가 모인 것이다. 선에는 내분비샘과 외분비샘의 2가지가 있다. 내분비샘이란 몸밖이 아닌 내부, 즉 직접 혈중으로 분비물을 분비하는 샘으로 이 때에 분비되는 물질을 호르몬이라고 한다. 이것은 주로 몸안의 다른 세포에 작용을 하여 그 세포의 대사, 분열 등의 변화를 초래하고 몸의 환경의 변화에 따른 적응을 돕는 역할을 한다. 외분비샘이란 몸밖으로 관구조를 통하여 분비물을 내보내는 샘을 말한다. |

| 영문 | pineal gland | 한글 | 솔방울샘, 송과선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌의 중앙선부위의 등쪽에 존재하는 내분비기관이다. 솔방울샘은 melatonin을 분비한다. 동물에서는 성분화발달에 기여하는 것으로 되어 있으나, 사람에서는 그 기능이 아직 명확치 않다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 남성생식기의 외분비샘의 일종으로, 방광의 목부분과 요도를 둘러싸고 있다. 전립샘은 정액을 만드는 전립샘액을 분비하며 5개의 엽으로 구성되어 있다. |

| 영문 | salivary gland | 한글 | 침샘, 타액선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 입 속으로 침을 분비하는 외분비샘으로 인체에는 세 쌍의 침샘이 있는데 귀밑샘, 턱밑샘 및 혀밑샘이 그들이다. 침샘은 분류상으로 소화기계통의 한 장기이며, 소화관의 한 부속샘으로 구분된다. 혀밑샘은 그 외 구강 점막 내에 산재하고 있는 수많은 작은 침샘과 같이 묽은 용액을 끊임없이 분비하고 있지만, 귀밑샘과 턱밑샘은 자극을 받을 때만 침을 분비한다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 피부의 피하조직에 있는 온분비샘(holocrine gland)으로 피부 기름이나, 그 외 기름 성분을 분비한다. |

| parotid | <anatomy> Situated near the ear; applied especially to the salivary gland near the ear. Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the parotid gland. <anatomy> Parotid gland, one of the salivary glands situated just in front of or below the ear. It is the largest of the salivary glands in man, and its duct opens into the interior of the mouth opposite the second molar of the upper jaw. Origin: L. Parotis, -idis, Gr,; beside, near +, the ear: cf. F. Parotide. <anatomy> The parotid gland. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| parotid abscess | Rapidly progressive suppuration in the parotid gland; a complication of parotitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid bed | The structures which surround and contact the parotid, forming the boundaries of the parotid space: anteriorly, the ramus of the mandible flanked by the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles; medially, the pharyngeal wall, carotid sheath and structures originating from the styloid process; posteriorly, the mastoid process, sternocleidomastoid muscle, and posterior belly of the digastric muscle; superiorly, the temporomandibular joint and the tympanic bone and cartilaginous portion of the external acoustic meatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid branches | Branches to parotid gland; Nomina Anatomica lists parotid branches of 1) auriculotemporal nerve (rami parotidei nervi auriculotemporalis; 2) facial vein, rami parotidei venae facialis; 3) superficial temporal artery, ramus arteriae temporalis superficialis. Synonym: rami parotidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid duct | The duct of the parotid gland opening from the cheek into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the neck of the superior second molar tooth. Synonym: ductus parotideus, Blasius' duct, Stensen's duct, Steno's duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid fascia | The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid notch | The space between the ramus of the mandible and the mastoid process of the temporal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid papilla | The projection at the opening of the parotid duct into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the neck of the upper second molar tooth. Synonym: papilla parotidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid recess | A deep hollow on the side at the sides of the face flanking the posterior aspect of the ramus of the mandible with its attached muscles which is occupied by the parotid gland; it is lined with fascial laminae (the parotid sheath) derived from the investing layer of deep cervical fascia; the structures bounding the space collectively constitute the parotid bed. Surgeons operating in the area take advantage of the fact that the anteroposterior dimensions of the parotid space increase with protrusion of the mandible. Synonym: parotid recess, recessus parotideus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid sheath | The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |

| parotid veins | Branches draining part of the parotid gland and emptying into the retromandibular vein. Synonym: venae parotidea, posterior parotid veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mouse parotid tumour virus | <virology> A papovavirus (genus Polyomavirus, family Papovaviridae) which is a DNA tumour virus with very small genome. Polyoma was isolated from mice, in which it causes no obvious disease, but when injected at high titre into baby rodents, including mice, it causes tumours of a wide variety of histological types (hence polyoma). In vitro, infected mouse cells are permissive for virus replication and thus are killed, whilst hamster cells undergo abortive infection and at a low frequency become transformed. It is capable of producing parotid tumours in mice and sarcomas in hamsters as well as tumours in other laboratory animals. Synonym: mouse parotid tumour virus. (22 Sep 2002) |
| posterior parotid veins | Branches draining part of the parotid gland and emptying into the retromandibular vein. Synonym: venae parotidea, posterior parotid veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial parotid lymph nodes | Several small lymph nodes located in the subcutaneous tissue in the parotid region. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
