| normal distribution | Continuous frequency distribution of infinite range. Its properties are as follows: 1) continuous, symmetrical distribution with both tails extending to infinity; 2) arithmetic mean, mode, and median identical; and 3) shape completely determined by the mean and standard deviation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| normal electrical axis | A mean electrical axis of the heart situated between -30 |
| normal hearing | The ability to perceive sound normally. Synonym: normal hearing. Origin: G. Akousis, hearing (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal horse serum | The sterile and filtered serum of a healthy, unvaccinated horse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal occlusion | That arrangement of teeth and their supporting structure which is usually found in health and which approaches an ideal or standard arrangement. Synonym: normal bite. Synonym: neutral occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal opsonin | That normally present in the blood, i.e., without stimulation by a known, specific antigen such as certain complement components; it is relatively thermolabile and reacts with various organisms. Synonym: common opsonin, thermolabile opsonin. Specific opsonin, antibodies formed in response to stimulation by a specific antigen, either as a result of an attack of a disease, or injections with a suitably prepared suspension of the specific microorganism. Synonym: immune opsonin, thermostable opsonin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal pressure hydrocephalus | <neurology> A brain disorder caused by blockage of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with enlargement of the ventricles of the brain (keep the pressure normal) and compression of brain tissue. Brain atrophy is the result. In this condition the CSF is produced normally but not reabsorbed. Symptom onset is gradual. A key feature is dementia. Treatment is surgical (VP shunt). (13 Nov 1997) |
| normal range | 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) |
| normal serum | A nonimmune serum, usually with reference to a serum obtained prior to immunization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal tartrate | Tartrate that contains no uncombined acid groups. (05 Mar 2000) |

| antihemophilic plasma | Human plasma in which the labile antihemophilic globulin component, present in fresh plasma, has been preserved; it is used to temporarily relieve dysfunction of the haemostatic mechanism in haemophilia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical plasma membrane | <cell biology> The term used for the cell membrane on the apical (inner or upper) surface of transporting epithelial cells. This region of the cell membrane is separated, in vertebrates, from the baso lateral membrane by a ring of tight junctions that prevents free mixing of membrane proteins from these two domains.
