|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 여성의 월경은 정해진 순서에 의해 일어나게 된다. 먼저 난포자극호르몬이 뇌에서 분비되어 여성의 난소를 자극하게 되면 난포가 자극받아 난포호르몬(에스트로젠)을 분비하게 되고 이것은 다시 되먹이기 메커니즘 의해 뇌에 작용을 하여 황체화호르몬이 뇌에서 분비되고 이것이 이른바 절정에 이르렀을 때, 난포에서 배란이 일어나게 된다. 이후 난포는 황체로 변하게 되며, 배란된 난자가 수정되지 아니하면, 황체는 황체호르몬(프로게스테론)을 분비한 뒤 퇴화되고 곧 이어 월경이 일어나게 된다. 이 일은 정상적인 대부분의 여성에서 28일을 주기로 일어나며, 대개 황체화호르몬 절정 이후 마지막은 14일로 일정하다고 한다. |

| embryonic circulation | The basic plan of the circulation of a young mammalian embryo, at first similar to that in aquatic forms, with an unpartitioned heart and conspicuous aortic arches in the branchial region; as gestation progresses, the arrangement of the major blood vessels gradually approaches that of an adult, but the routing of blood through the heart, characteristic of an adult, cannot be attained until lung breathing begins at birth.

| embryonic disk | Germ disk, the point in a telolecithal ovum where the embryo begins to be formed. Synonym: embryonic disk, germinal area, area germinativa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embryonic haemoglobin | See: haemoglobin Gower-1, haemoglobin Gower-2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embryonic induction | The induction of differentiation in one tissue as a result of proximity to another tissue arising, for example: during gastrulation. One of the best known examples is the induction of the neural tube in the ectoderm by the underlying chordo mesoderm. Although the information to form the tube is present in the competent determined ectoderm, it must be elicited by the inducing tissue. In some cases it is known that cell cell contact between epithelium and mesenchyme is necessary. (18 Nov 1997) |
| embryonic membrane | A structure or tissue that develops from the fertilised ovum but does not form part of the embryo proper. Synonym: embryonic membrane, extraembryonic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embryonic shield | A thickened area of the embryonic blastoderm from which the embryo develops. (05 Mar 2000) |
| embryonic structures | The anatomical features of the animal embryo deriving from the fertilised ovum, that eventually become the offspring. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibroblast growth factor receptor-like embryonic kinase | <enzyme> Found in avian embryonic tissue; involved in early differentiation of skeletal muscle. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: frek (26 Jun 1999) |
| adipokinetic hormone | An anterior pituitary hormone that causes mobilization of fat from adipose tissue. Synonym: adipokinetic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal androgen-stimulating hormone | A putative pituitary hormone that may be responsible for increased secretion of adrenal androgens at the time of puberty. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocorticotrophic hormone | <endocrinology> A peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoid hormones, which help cells synthesise glucose, catabolize proteins, mobilizefree fatty acids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. (10 May 1997) |
| adrenocorticotropic hormone | The hormone of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis which governs the nutrition and growth of the adrenal cortex, stimulates it to functional activity, and also possesses extraadrenal adipokinetic activity; it is a polypeptide containing 39 amino acids, but exact structure varies from one species to another; sometimes prefixed by a to distinguish it from beta-corticotropin. The first thirteen amino acids at the N-terminal region are identical to alpha-melanotropin. Synonym: adrenocorticotropin, adrenotropic hormone, adrenotropin, corticotropic hormone, corticotropin.

| androgenic hormone | <endocrinology> A male (masculinising) hormone. These medications (testosterone, methyltestosterone, fluoxymesterone, danazol) are used to treat androgen deficiency, delayed puberty in males and some forms of breast cancer. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anterior pituitary-like hormone | A glycoprotein with a carbohydrate fraction composed of d-galactose and hexosamine, extracted from the urine of pregnant women and produced by the placental trophoblastic cells; its most important role appears to be stimulation, during the first trimester, of ovarian secretion of the oestrogen and progesterone required for the integrity of conceptus; it appears to play no significant role in the last two trimesters of pregnancy, as the oestrogen and progesterone are then formed by the placenta. Synonym: anterior pituitary-like hormone, choriogonadotropin, chorionic gonadotropic hormone, chorionic gonadotrophic hormone, placenta gonadotropin, placentagonadotropin. (05 Mar 2000) |
