| 설명 | 심장동맥이란 심장에 혈액을 공급하는 동맥을 말한다. 심장도 다른 근육과 마찬가지로 혈액을 공급받아야 수축을 할 수가 있는 기관으로 심장의 혈액을 공급하는 동맥을 심장동맥이라고 한다. 심장동맥병이란 심장동맥의 내경이 좁아져서 생기는 질환으로 허혈심장병(ischemic heart disease)이라고도 불린다. 관상동맥이 좁아질 경우에는 심장으로 가는 혈액의 양이 적어져서 심장에 충분한 혈액이 공급이 되지 못하므로 여러 가지 병적인 현상이 생긴다. 심장동맥이 좁아지는 데에는 여러 가지 원인이 있을 수가 있으나 주로 심장동맥의 동맥경화증에 의한다. 동맥경화증이란 동맥의 내층에 지방과 콜레스테롤로 이루어진 죽종(atheroma)가 생기는 질환으로 죽종이 생긴 동맥은 죽종이 혈관의 내부로 돌출하게 되어서 혈관의 내경이 작아지게 된다. 심장동맥병은 그 정도에 따라서 협심증(angina pectoris)와 심근경색증(myocardial infarction)으로 나눈다. 협심증은 심장동맥의 부분적 폐쇄에 의해서 평상시에는 증상이 없지만 심장이 많은 활동을 할 경우에 심장에 피가 충분한 만큼 공급이 되지 않아서 생기는 질병으로 평상시에 쉴 경우에는 아무 증상이 없지만 운동이나 과식 등의 원인으로 심장이 많은 운동을 할 경우에 심장에 공급되는 혈액의 양이 모자라서 증상(대개 가슴부위에 쥐어짜는 듯한 통증)이 생긴다. 심근경색증이란 심장동맥의 완전폐쇄에 의해서 심장의 근육이 혈액을 전혀 공급받지 못해서 심장의 근육이 썩는 경우를 말한다. |

| large interarch distance | A large distance between the maxillary and mandibular arches; may also imply an excessive vertical dimension. Synonym: open bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large intestine | <anatomy> Also called the colon, this structure has 6 major divisions: caecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. The total length is approximately 5 feet in the adult and it is responsible for forming, storing and expelling waste matter. (27 Sep 1997) |
| large muscle of helix | <anatomy> A narrow band of muscular fibres on the anterior border of the helix of the auricle arising from the spine and inserted at the point where the helix becomes transverse. Synonym: musculus helicis major, large muscle of helix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pelvis | The expanded portion of the pelvis above the brim. Synonym: pelvis major, false pelvis, large pelvis, pelvis spuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pleural effusion | <radiology> 3 T's, tumour, TB, trauma (12 Dec 1998) |
| large pudendal lip | One of two rounded folds of integument forming the lateral boundaries of the pudendal cleft. The labia majora are the female homolog of the scrotum. Synonym: labium majus pudendi, large pudendal lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large saphenous vein | <anatomy, vein> Formed by the union of the dorsal vein of the great toe and the dorsal venous arch of the foot, ascends in front of the medial malleolus, behind the medial condyle of the femur, and traverses the saphenois hiatus in the fascia lata to empty into the femoral vein in the upper part of the femoral triangle. Synonym: vena saphena magna, large saphenous vein, long saphenous vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large uterus | <radiology> Multiparity, pregnancy, molar pregnancy, neoplasm (12 Dec 1998) |
| large vein | <anatomy, vein> A vein, such as the inferior vena cava, characterised by having a reduced or absent tunica media and an adventitia with large bundles of longitudinally disposed smooth muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large woody debris | Dead woody material greater than 20" in diameter on the ground or in a stream or river. It may consist of logs, trees, or parts of trees. Large woody debris contributes to long-term site productivity and health in several ways. It supplies nutrients to the soil, supports symbiotic fungi that are beneficial to conifers, and provides habitat for beneficial rodents and insects. (05 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, large-cell | A form of malignant lymphoma in which the malignant cells resemble histiocytes morphologically but are presently considered to be derived from lymphoid elements. These cells are irregular in shape with relatively abundant, frequently acidophilic cytoplasm. Large-cell lymphoma can occur in both nodular (follicular) and diffuse forms, with the latter being more frequently seen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, large-cell, diffuse | Malignant lymphoma composed of large cells which may be both cleaved and noncleaved. The pattern is predominantly diffuse. most of these lymphomas represent the malignant counterpart of B-lymphocytes at midstage in the process of differentiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, large-cell, follicular | Malignant lymphoma in which the majority of neoplastic cells within the follicles are large cleaved or noncleaved cells. The degree to which the follicular centre cells retain their ability to form follicles varies with the state of B-cell transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, large-cell, immunoblastic | Malignant lymphoma characterised by the presence of immunoblasts with uniformly round-to-oval nuclei, one or more prominent nucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm. This class may be subdivided into plasmacytoid and clear-cell types based on cytoplasmic characteristics. A third category, pleomorphous, may be analogous to some of the peripheral T-cell lymphomas (lymphoma, T-cell, peripheral) recorded in both the united states and japan. (12 Dec 1998) |
