| fast neutrons | Neutrons, the energy of which exceeds some arbitrary level, usually around one million electron volts. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| fast pyrolysis | Thermal conversion of biomass by rapid heating to between 450> To 600>C in the absence of oxygen. (05 Dec 1998) |
| fast ray | <microscopy> The fast ray or fast component for a crystal or fibre corresponds to the lower refractive index. (05 Aug 1998) |
| fast smear | A cytologic smear containing material from the vaginal pool and pancervical scrapings, mixed and prepared on one microscopic slide, smeared, and fixed immediately; used principally for routine screening of ovaries, endometrium, cervix, vagina, and hormonal states. (05 Mar 2000) |

| liquid-metal fast-breeder reactor | <physics> Fission breeder reactor concept using liquid-metal coolant and breeding additional fuel off fast neutrons. See: breeder reactor. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Luxol fast blue | Name for a group of closely related copper phthalocyanin dyes used as stains (with PAS, PTAH, haematoxylin, silver nitrate, etc.) for myelin in nerve fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| assisted circulation | Pumping that aids the natural activity of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| blood circulation | The course of the blood from the heart through the arteries, capillaries, and veins back again to the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood circulation time | Determination of the shortest time interval between the injection of a substance in the vein and its arrival at some distant site in sufficient concentration to produce a recognizable end result. It represents approximately the inverse of the average velocity of blood flow between two points. (12 Dec 1998) |
| capillary circulation | The course of the blood through the capillaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal circulation | The circulation of the blood through the vessels of the kidney. (12 Dec 1998) |
| respiratory circulation | The mechanisms of pulmonary circulation coordinated with the heart and systemic circulation. It involves the flow or interruption of the flow of blood to the lungs as it affects respiration. Pulmonary circulation, a circulatory concept, emphasizes the passage of blood from the right to the left heart through the lungs. Respiratory circulation coordinates this with heart action, systemic circulation, and breathing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrovascular circulation | The circulation of blood through the vessels of the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| greater circulation | The circulation of blood through the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the general system, from the left ventricle to the right atrium. Synonym: greater circulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
