| 설명 | 외부에서 기원하는 물리적 충격으로 인해 뇌의 물리적 손상없이 일어나는 뇌의 기능 장애. 일시적으로 무의식, 반사소실, 등이 나타나지만 결국은 아무 후유증없이 정상으로 돌아온다. |

| 영문 | cerebral cortex | 한글 | 대뇌겉질 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 표면부위를 대뇌겉질이라고도 한다. 대개 얕은회색질(superficial gray matter)와 동의어로 쓰인다. 회색질이란 대뇌의 표면에 신경세포가 모여있는 곳으로 회색을 띠는 부분을 말한다. 이와는 대조적으로 백색질이란 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 분포하는 곳이며 대뇌에서 회색질의 안쪽에 존재한다. 참고로 말하면 척수에서는 대뇌와 반대로 회색질 안쪽에 존재하고 백색질이 밖에 존재한다. 즉 척수에서는 신경세포가 척수의 안쪽에 존재하고 바깥쪽에 그 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 존재한다. |

| 영문 | cerebral artery | 한글 | 대뇌동맥 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 혈액을 공급하는 동맥. 대뇌의 앞부분의 혈액을 공급하는 앞대뇌동맥(anterior cerebral artery), 중간부위의 혈액을 공급하는 중간대뇌동맥(middle cerebral artery), 뒷부분의 혈액을 공급하는 뒤대뇌동맥(posterior cererbral artery)의 세 가지가 있다. 대뇌는 크게 두 가지 동맥에 의해서 혈액을 공급받는다. 하나는 속목동맥(internal carotid artery)이고 하나는 척추동맥(vertebral artery)이다. 이 동맥들은 좌-우로 두 개씩 쌍을 이루어 뇌에 혈액을 공급한다. 척추동맥은 대동맥에서 나와서 목뼈에 있는 가로돌기구멍을 통해서 머리쪽으로 올라온다. 그리고는 두 개의 좌우 척추가 한 개로 합쳐져서 바닥동맥라는 동맥을 이룬다. 목동맥은 대동맥에서 기시하여 속목동맥과 바깥목동맥으로 나뉜다(나뉘기 이전을 온목동맥이라 한다). 바깥목동맥은 얼굴과 뇌를 제외한 머리의 부위에 혈액을 공급하는 혈관이고, 속목동맥은 뇌에 혈액을 공급한다.   |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌란 뇌의 가장 큰 부분을 차지하는 곳으로 사고, 운동, 성격, 기억 등의 고차원적인 기능을 행하는 곳이다. 대뇌는 크게 좌, 우 두 개로 나뉘어져 있고 각각을 좌, 우 대뇌반구라고 한다. |

| enteritis, regional | Crohn's disease by another name, a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine primarily in the small and large intestines but which can occur anywhere in the digestive system between the mouth and the anus. Named after Burrill Crohn who described the disease in 1932. The disease usually affects persons in their teens or early twenties. It tends to be a chronic, recurrent condition with periods of remission and exacerbation. In the early stages, Crohn's disease causes small scattered shallow crater-like areas (erosions) called apthous ulcers in the inner surface of the bowel. With time, deeper and larger ulcers develop, causing scarring and stiffness of the bowel and the bowel becomes increasingly narrowed, leading to obstruction. Deep ulcers can puncture holes in the bowel wall, leading to infection in the abdominal cavity (peritonitis) and in adjacent organs. When only the large intestine (colon) is involved, the condition is called Crohn's colitis. When only the small intestine is involved, the condition is called Crohn's enteritis. When only the end of the small intestine (the terminal ileum) is involved, it is termed terminal ileitis. When both the small intestine and the large intestine are involved, the condition is called Crohn's enterocolitis (or ileocolitis). Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, and weight loss can be symptoms. Crohn's disease can be associated with reddish tender skin nodules, and inflammation of the joints, spine, eyes, and liver. Diagnosis is by barium enema, barium X-ray of the small bowel, and colonoscopy. Treatment includes medications for inflammation, immune suppression, antibiotics, or surgery. (The disease is also called granulomatous enteritis). (12 Dec 1998) |

| maximal expiratory flow rate | <chest medicine, physiology> Measurement of rate of airflow during the first liter expired after the first 200 ml have been exhausted during a forced vital capacity determination. Common abbreviations are MEFR, FEF 202-1200, and fef 0.2-1.2. Acronym: MEFR (21 Jun 2000) |
| maximal expiratory flow-volume curve | <chest medicine> Curves depicting maximal expiratory flow in liters/second at each point of lung inflation (expressed in liters or percentage of forced vital capacity) during a forced vital capacity determination. Common abbreviation is mefv. (12 Dec 1998) |
