| 영문 | nerve cell | 한글 | 신경세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경세포는 올바른 신경전달을 위한 각 부분별로 나뉘어져 있다. 신경세포에서는 전해져오는 자극을 전기적인 신호로 바뀌어 보내거나 받게 된다. 이런 전기적인 현상은 각 신경세포내에 존재하는 각 이온채널(ion channel: ion이란 나트륨, 칼륨 등을 지칭하는 말들로써, 이들이 세포막에 의해 나뉘어질 때 생기는 전압차가 전기적 자극을 일으키고 유지하는데 결정적인 역할을 한다)들의 작용에 의해 이루어지게 된다. |

| 영문 | glia cell | 한글 | 아교세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경세포 사이에서 그물구조를 이루며 이를 지지하는 조직. 신경아교세포는 신경모세포와 갈라진 아교모세포가 다시 여러 형태로 분화-성장한 것이다. 뇌실이나 척수중심관의 벽을 덮고 원주상 또는 입방형이며, 초기에는 유리면에 섬모가 있다. 대형세포는 별뇌실막세포는 아교세포라고 하며, 신경세포나 신경섬유 사이에 산재한다. 그 외에 희소돌기아교세포도 포함된다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 일반적으로 상피조직에서 이미 있던 상피세포가 손상을 받아 사멸하면 매꿔지는 그 밑에 있는 미분화세포 예를 들면, 기관지 내표면을 덮는 중층 원주 상피의 기저에 있는 작은 미분화 상피 세포. |

| 영문 | stem cell | 한글 | 줄기세포, 간세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| sickle flap | A sickle-shaped flap from the anterior scalp and one side of the forehead, based on the opposite temporal artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sickle form | The male or female gametocyte(s) of Plasmodium falciparum, whose presence in human red blood cells is diagnostic of falciparum malaria. Synonym: crescent, sickle form. Myopic crescent, a white or grayish white crescentic area in the fundus of the eye located on the temporal side of the optic disk; caused by atrophy of the choroid, permitting the sclera to become visible. Synonym: myopic conus. Sublingual crescent, the crescent-shaped area on the floor of the mouth formed by the lingual wall of the mandible and the adjacent part of the floor of the mouth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sickle scotoma | A comet-shaped scotoma, occurring in glaucoma, attached at the temporal end to the blind spot or separated from it by a narrow gap; the defect widens as it extends above and nasally curves around the fixation spot, and then extends downward to end exactly at the nasal horizontal meridian. Synonym: Bjerrum's sign, sickle scotoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant haemoglobin | A mutant Hb that functions abnormally. Compare: variant haemoglobin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile pigment haemoglobin | <protein> A protein which is formed from the breakdown of haemoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen in the blood) and is a precursor to the bile pigment biliverdin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| carbon monoxide haemoglobin | <chemical> Chemical name: Haemoglobins, carbonyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
| variant haemoglobin | A harmless mutant form of Hb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced haemoglobin | The form of Hb in red blood cells after the oxygen of oxyhemoglobin is released in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean corpuscular haemoglobin | The haemoglobin content of the average red cell, calculated from the haemoglobin therein and the red cell count, in erythrocyte indices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration | Hgb/Hct;the average haemoglobin concentration in a given volume of packed red cells, calculated from the haemoglobin therein and the haematocrit, in erythrocyte indices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glycosylated haemoglobin | <biochemistry> A test which measures the amount of glucose-bound haemoglobin. As the blood glucose level increases the proportion of haemoglobin molecules which bind glucose increases with time. The measurement of glycosylated haemoglobin yields important information regarding how well a patients diabetes is being controlled. (27 Sep 1997) |
| glycosylated haemoglobin test | <investigation> A blood test that measures a person's average blood glucose (sugar) level for the 2- to 3-month period before the test. See: haemoglobin A1C. (09 Oct 1997) |
| green haemoglobin | <protein> A protein which is formed from the breakdown of haemoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen in the blood) and is a precursor to the bile pigment biliverdin. (09 Oct 1997) |
| muscle haemoglobin | <physiology> Protein (17.5 kD) found in red skeletal muscle. It was the first protein for which the tertiary structure was determined by X-ray diffraction, by J.C.Kendrew's group working on sperm whale myoglobin. It is a single polypeptide chain of 153 amino acids, containing a haem group bonded via its ferric iron to two histidine residues. It binds oxygen noncooperatively and has a higher affinity for oxygen than haemoglobin at all partial pressures. In capillaries oxygen is effectively removed from haemoglobin and diffuses into muscle fibres where it binds to myoglobin which acts as an oxygen store. (18 Nov 1997) |
| haemoglobin | <cell biology, haematology> Four subunit globular oxygen carrying protein of the erythrocytes of vertebrates and some invertebrates. It is a conjugated protein containing four haem groups and globin. There are two alpha and two beta chains (very similar to myoglobin) in adult humans, the haem moiety (an iron containing substituted porphyrin) is firmly held in a nonpolar crevice in each peptide chain. There are four globin polypeptide chains, designated alpha, beta, gamma, delta in the adult. Each is composed of several hundred amino acids. (08 Mar 2000) |
