| efferent glomerular arteriole | The vessel that carries blood from the glomerular capillary network to the capillary bed of the proximal convoluted tubule; collectively, these vessels constitute the renal portal system. Synonym: arteriola glomerularis efferens, vas efferens, efferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |

| efferent lymphatic | A vein carrying blood away from a part. Synonym: efferent lymphatic. Synonym: efferent glomerular arteriole. Synonym: efferent ductules of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A nerve which transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord to a muscle or organ. (27 Sep 1997) |
| efferent pathways | Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a nerve centre toward a peripheral site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| efferent vessel | A vessel carrying blood away from the heart. An artery or arteriole. (12 Dec 1998) |
| psychiatric somatic therapies | The biologic treatment of mental disorders (e.g., electroconvulsive therapy), in contrast with psychotherapy. (stone, american psychiatric glossary, 1988, p159) (12 Dec 1998) |
| somatic | 1. Pertaining to or characteristic of the soma or body. 2. Pertaining to the body wall in contrast to the viscera. Origin: Gr. Somatikos (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic agglutinin | An agglutinin that is formed as the result of stimulation by, and that reacts with, the relatively thermostable antigen(s) in the cell bodies of microorganisms. Synonym: somatic agglutinin. See ABO blood group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic antigen | An antigen located in the cell wall of a bacterium in contrast to one in the flagella (flagellar antigen) or in a capsule (capsular antigen). (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic arteries | Artery's that arise in the embryo from the dorsal aorta and supply the body wall; they persist almost unchanged as the posterior intercostal, subcostal, and lumbar artery's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic cell | Usually any cell of a multicellular organism that will not contribute to the production of gametes, i.e. most cells of which an organism is made: not a germ cell. Notice, however, the alternative use in somatic mesoderm. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic cell gene therapy | The repair or replacement of a defective gene within somatic tissue. (09 Oct 1997) |
| somatic cell genetics | Method for identifying the chromosomal location of a particular gene without sexual crossing. Unstable heterokaryons are made between the cell of interest and another cell with identifiably different characteristics (or without the gene in question) and a series of clones isolated. By correlating retention of gene expression with the remaining chromosomes, it is possible to deduce which chromosome must carry the gene. Human mouse heterokaryons have been extensively used in this sort of work. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic cell hybridization | Production of a heterokaryon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic cells | Cells of an animal or plant other than the reproductive cells. (14 Nov 1997) |
