| residual lumen | The remnants of the pituitary diverticulum that occur between the pars distalis and pars intermedia; a distinct lumen is present in some animals, but, in humans, is present only during prenatal development and sometimes in young children. Synonym: residual lumen. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| residual ovary syndrome | <syndrome> The development of a pelvic mass, pelvic pain, and occasionally dyspareunia following hysterectomy without removal of both ovaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual ridge | That portion of the processus alveolaris remaining in the edentulous mouth following resorption of the section containing the alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual schizophrenia | Blunted or inappropriate affect, social withdrawal, eccentric behaviour, or loose associations, but without prominent psychotic symptoms, as the remains of former psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual urine | Urine remaining in the bladder at the end of micturition in cases of prostatic obstruction, bladder atony, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| residual volume | The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration. Common abbreviation is rv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasm, residual | Remnant of a tumour or cancer after primary, potentially curative therapy. (dr. Daniel masys, written communication) (12 Dec 1998) |
| functional residual air | The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. It is the sum of the residual volume and the expiratory reserve volume. Common abbreviation is frc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| functional residual capacity | The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. It is the sum of the residual volume and the expiratory reserve volume. Common abbreviation is frc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| active carbon dioxide | Activated carbon dioxide, a complex of N-carboxybiotin (biotin + CO2) and an enzyme; the form in which carbon dioxide is added to other molecules in carboxylations; e.g., to methylcrotonyl-CoA to form beta-methylglutaconyl in the catabolism of leucine, and to acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA. See: acetyl-CoA carboxylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anomeric carbon | The reducing carbon of a sugar; C-1 of an aldose, C-2 of a 2-ketose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriovenous carbon dioxide difference | <physiology> The difference in carbon dioxide content (in ml per 100 ml blood) between arterial and venous blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon | <chemistry, element> Sixth element (Z=6) in the periodic table, has 6 protons, often described as the basis of life on earth because of its chemical properties, has potential for use with silicon as a low-activation structural material for fusion reactors, in the form silicon carbide. Carbon tiles are often used in plasma-facing components because its low Z makes carbon a relatively nice impurity. It is also useful as a neutron moderator. See: low-activation materials, plasma-facing components. Abbreviation: C (13 Nov 1997) |
| carbon-11 | A cyclotron-produced, positron-emitting radioisotope of carbon with a half-life of 20.3 minutes; used in positron-emitting tomography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon-12 | The standard of atomic mass, 98.90% of natural carbon. (05 Mar 2000) |
