| enteric nervous system | Two ganglionated neural plexuses in the gut wall which form one of the three major divisions of the autonomic nervous system. The enteric nervous system innervates the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. It contains sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Thus the circuitry can autonomously sense the tension and the chemical environment in the gut and regulate blood vessel tone, motility, secretions, and fluid transport. The system is itself governed by the central nervous system and receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| enteric organism | A microorganism that lives in the intestines. (09 Oct 1997) |
| enteric orphan viruses | Enteroviruses isolated from humans and other animals, "orphan" implying lack of known association with disease when isolated; many virus's of the group are now known to be pathogenic; they include ECBO viruses, ECHO viruses, and ECSO viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteric plexus | The autonomic plexus in the wall of the intestine; it consists of three parts, submucosal, myenteric, and subserosal; ganglionic cells are scattered through the myenteric and submucosal plexus. Synonym: plexus entericus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteric tuberculosis | A complication of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis usually resulting from expectoration and swallowing of bacilli that then infect areas of the digestive tract where there is relative stasis or abundant lymphoid tissue. See: tuberculous enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enteric viruses | Virus's of the genus Enterovirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-normal | <radiobiology> Beta-N, the normalised beta, is beta relative to the beta limit. (09 Oct 1997) |
| big axillary nodes and normal breasts | <radiology> Consider: lymphoma, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis (12 Dec 1998) |
| gallium uptake with normal chest film | <radiology> Pulmonary drug toxicity, tumour infiltration, sarcoidosis, pneumocystis carinii see: lung: gallium imaging (12 Dec 1998) |
| range, normal | Normal results can fall outside the normal range. By convention, the normal range is set to cover ninety-five percent (95%) of values from a normal population. Five percent (5%) of normal results therefore fall outside the normal range. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human normal immunoglobulin | A preparation of the proteins of liquid human plasma, containing the antibodies of normal adults; it is obtained from pooled liquid human plasma from a number of donors and may be prepared by precipitation with organic solvents under controlled conditions of pH, ionic strength, and temperature. Synonym: human normal immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal | <microscopy> An imaginary line forming a right angle with the tangent to a curved surface at a particular point. It is used as a basis for determining angles of incidence, reflection, and refraction. (05 Aug 1998) |
| normal animal | In research, an experimental animal that has neither suffered an attack of a particular disease nor received an injection of a specific microorganism or its toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal antibody | Antibody demonstrable in the serum or plasma of various persons or animals not known to have been stimulated by specific antigen, either artificially or as the result of naturally occurring contact. Synonym: natural antibody. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal antitoxin | Serum that is capable of neutralizing an equivalent quantity of a normal toxin solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
