| macula of utricle | The neuroepithelial sensory receptor in the inferolateral wall of the utricle; hair cells of the neuroepithelium support the statoconial membrane and have terminal arborizations of vestibular nerve fibres around their bodies; sensitive to linear acceleration in the longitudinal axis of the body and to gravitational influences.

| macula retinae | An oval area of the sensory retina, 3 by 5 mm, temporal to the optic disk corresponding to the posterior pole of the eye; at its centre is the central fovea, which contains only retinal cones. Synonym: area centralis, macula lutea, macular area, punctum luteum, Soemmerring's spot, yellow spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macula sacculi | The oval neuroepithelial sensory receptor in the anterior wall of the saccule; hair cells of the neuroepithelium support the statoconial membrane and have terminal arborizations of vestibular nerve fibres around their bodies. Synonym: macula sacculi, saccular spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macula tendinea | Gray-white or white, rounded or irregularly shaped, slightly opaque patches or spots that are sometimes observed postmortem in the epicardium, especially in middle-aged or older persons; they result from fibrous thickening, and sometimes hyalinization, of the epicardium; similar lesions may also occur in the visceral layer of the peritoneum. Synonym: macula lactea, macula tendinea, tache blanche, tache laiteuse, tendinous spot, white spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macula utriculi | The neuroepithelial sensory receptor in the inferolateral wall of the utricle; hair cells of the neuroepithelium support the statoconial membrane and have terminal arborizations of vestibular nerve fibres around their bodies; sensitive to linear acceleration in the longitudinal axis of the body and to gravitational influences. Synonym: macula utriculi, utricular spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maculae acusticae | See: macula of saccule, macula of utricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular | Maculate 1. Relating to or marked by macules. 2. Denoting the central retina, especially the macula retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular amyloidosis | A localised form of amyloidosis cutis characterised by pruritic symmetrical brown reticulated macules, especially on the upper back; microscopically, amyloid is deposited as small subepidermal globules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular area | An oval area of the sensory retina, 3 by 5 mm, temporal to the optic disk corresponding to the posterior pole of the eye; at its centre is the central fovea, which contains only retinal cones. Synonym: area centralis, macula lutea, macular area, punctum luteum, Soemmerring's spot, yellow spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular arteries | See: inferior macular arteriole, superior macular arteriole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular atrophy | Atrophoderma in which the skin becomes bag like and wrinkled. Synonym: atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis, atrophoderma maculatum, macular atrophy, primary idiopathic macular atrophy, primary macular atrophy of skin. Origin: G. Anetos, relaxed, + derma, skin (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular coloboma | A defect of the central retina as a result of arrested development or intrauterine retinal inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular degeneration | <ophthalmology> Breakdown or damage to a portion of the retina known as the macula. Symptoms include blurring of vision (in central visual field), colours appear dim and difficulty reading or performing work up close. (27 Sep 1997) |

| macula densa |
In the kidney, the macula densa is an area of closely packed specialised cells lining the thick ascending limb of the Loop of Henle where it lies next to the glomerular vascular pole. It is a component of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. Its cells are taller and have more prominent nuclei than surrounding cells. They are thought to be sensitive to the concentration of sodium ions in the fluid within the DCT. A decrease in blood pressure results in a decreased concentration of sodium ions. ...

| macular degeneration |
Macular degeneration is a medical condition where the light sensing cells in the macula malfunction and over time cease to work. It is the main cause of central vision loss (blindness) in the USA today for those over the age of fifty (Americam Academy of Ophthalmology). There are two basic types of the disease: Standard Macular Degeneration (MD) and Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD), with ARMD being the most common form of the condition. ...
