|---|---|
| incomplete fracture | A fracture in which the line of fracture does not include the entire bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete hemianopia | Hemianopsia involving less than half the visual field of each eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete metamorphosis | The development of a nymph into the imago which in many respects resembles the former; characteristic of more primitive insect orders, such as Heteroptera (true bugs), Orthoptera (locusts, grasshoppers), and Blatterria (roaches). Synonym: heterometabolous metamorphosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete tetanus | Tetanus in which each stimulus causes a contraction to be initiated when the muscle has only partly relaxed from the previous contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Freund's incomplete adjuvant | Water-in-oil emulsion of antigen, without mycobacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abnormal cleavage of cardiac valve | Congenital malformation of a valve leaflet with a defect extending from the free margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adequal cleavage | Cleavage resulting in the formation of blastomeres of approximately equal size. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior chamber cleavage syndrome | <syndrome> A congenital disorder originating from faulty separation of embryonic structures; it results in bilateral central corneal opacities, with an anterior ring attachment of the iridic pupillary border and anterior polar cataracts; associated with short-limbed dwarfism; autosomal dominant inheritance. See: iridocorneal endothelial syndrome. Synonym: Peters' anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-carotene cleavage enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the reaction of beta-carotene plus O2 producing two retinals. Synonym: beta-carotene cleavage enzyme, carotenase, carotinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycine cleavage complex | A complex of several proteins that catalyze the reversible reaction of glycine with tetrahydrofolate to produce CO2, NH3, and N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate; a deficiency of this enzyme (or one of its subunits) will result in nonketotic hyperglycinaemia. Synonym: glycine synthase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meridional cleavage | Cleavage in a plane through the axis of the zygote. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meroblastic cleavage | Incomplete separation of the blastomeres, with the divisions being limited to the nonyolked portion of the egg. Synonym: incomplete cleavage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| citrate cleavage enzyme | ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase |
| phosphoroclastic cleavage | <biochemistry> This reaction is an analogue to hydrolysis, except here a molecule is cleaved with phosphate as the attacking group. (09 Oct 1997) |
