| 영문 | urinary system | 한글 | 비뇨기계통 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 비뇨기계통이라하면 콩팥으로부터 시작해서 요관, 방광, 요도에 이르는 일련의 오줌생성 및 저장, 배설기관을 일컫는다. 콩팥은 길이 약 2.5cm, 폭 약 5.1cm, 두께 약 2.5cm, 무게 약 120~160gm으로서, 내측에 콩팥문이 있어 혈관, 신경, 요관이 출입하고 있다. 콩팥은 속질과 겉질로 이루어져 있으며 수질은 10~15개의 추체(오줌을 모으는 역할)를 형성하고 겉질은 약 100만개의 콩팥단위으로 구성되어 있다. 요세관은 토리쪽뇨세관, 헨레고리, 먼쪽뇨세관, 집합관으로 형성되어 있으며, 추체와 술잔, 깔때기를 거쳐 요관으로 연결된다. 콩팥은 혈액을 여과하여 신체 신진대사의 최종산물을 오줌의 형태로 배설하며, 세포외액(extracellular fluid)의 전해질농도를 조절한다. 콩팥에서 형성된 오줌는 요관을 거쳐 방광에서 저장되고 있다가 적당한 시기가 되면 요도를 통해 외계로 배출된다. |

| portal hypertension | Any increase in the portal vein (in the liver) pressure due to anatomic or functional obstruction (for example alcoholic cirrhosis) to blood flow in the portal venous system. Indicators of portal hypertension are: oesophageal varices, haemorrhoids, enlarged veins on the anterior abdominal wall (caput Medusae) and ascites (fluid within the abdominal cavity). (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| portal hypertension: classification | <radiology> Presinusoidal, extrahepatic: portal vein obstruction (extrinsic compression, phlebitis, OC, coagulopathy, tumour invasion, pancreatitis, neonatal omphalitis), dynamic: traumatic/neoplastic arterioportal fistula, segmental portal hypertension: splenic/superior mesenteric vein occlusion, intrahepatic (obstruction of portal venules): congenital hepatic fibrosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, sarcoid, myelofibrosis, schistosomiasis, idiopathic noncirrhotic fibrosis, Wilson disease, reticuloendotheliosis, Felty syndrome, chronic malaria, toxic fibrosis (arsenic, copper, PVC vapors) sinusoidal, cirrhosis, sclerosing cholangitis postsinusoidal, Budd-Chiari syndrome, constrictive pericarditis, congestive heart failure (12 Dec 1998) |
| portal hypophysial circulation | A capillary network that carries hypophyseotropic hormones from the hypothalamus, where they are secreted into blood, to their sites of action in the anterior hypophysis. See: portal circulation, hypophysis, hypothalamus. Synonym: hypophyseoportal system, hypophysial portal circulation, hypophysial portal system, hypophysioportal system, hypothalamohypophysial portal circulation, hypothalamohypophysial portal system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal lobule of liver | A conceptual unit of the liver, emphasizing its exocrine function in bile secretion, which comprises a roughly triangular shaped cross-sectional area with a portal canal at its centre and three or more venae centrales hepatis at its periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal pressure | The venous pressure measured in the portal vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| portal pyaemia | Suppurative pylephlebitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal-systemic anastomoses | Naturally-occurring venous communications between tributaries of the portal venous system and tributaries of the systemic venous system. The major portal-systemic anastomoses include: 1) oesophageal branches of left gastric vein with oesophageal veins, 2) superior rectal vein with middle and inferior rectal veins, 3) paraumbilical veins with subcutaneous veins of anterior abdominal wall, 4) retroperitoneal veins with venous branches of veins of the colon and bare area of the liver, and 5) a patent ductus venosus connecting left branch of portal vein to inferior vena cava (rare). These anastomoses are important clinically, providing collateral circulation during portal obstruction or hypertension, at which time they may become varicose. See: caput medusae, oesophageal varices, haemorrhoids. Surgically-created communications between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava or their tributaries, to relieve portal hypertension. Synonym: portacaval anastomoses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal-systemic encephalopathy | An encephalopathy associated with cirrhosis of the liver, attributed to the passage of toxic nitrogenous substances from the portal to the systemic circulation; cerebral manifestations may include coma. Synonym: hepatic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal triad | Branches of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and the biliary ducts bound together in the perivascular fibrous capsule or portal tract as they ramify within the substance of the liver. Synonym: hepatic triad, triad. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal vein | <anatomy, vein> A large vein that carries blood from the stomach and intestines to the liver. (09 Oct 1997) |
| posterior branch of right branch of portal vein | <anatomy, vein> Posterior segmental branch of portal vein; branch to posterior segments of right lobe of liver. Synonym: ramus posterior rami dextri venae portae hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior intestinal portal | In young embryos, the communications from the midgut to the hindgut. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominent portal vein radicles | <radiology> Seen in acute hepatitis (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatic portal vein | <anatomy, vein> A large vein that carries blood from the stomach and intestines to the liver. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hypertension, portal | Abnormally increased pressure in the portal venous system; frequently seen in cirrhosis of the liver and in other conditions which cause obstruction of the portal vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
