| 영문 | smooth muscle | 한글 | 민무늬근육, 평활근육 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 근육 중에서 가로무늬가 없는 근. 가로무늬근에 대응되는 말이다. 척추동물에서는 심장근 이외의 내장근은 모두가 민무늬근이다. 많은 내장장기의 벽에 분포되어 있으며, 대개 돌림층과 세로층의 두 층으로 배열되어 있다. 소화관이나 요관 같은 관모양의 구조에서는 꿈틀운동을 일으켜 내용물이 아래로 내려가게 하는 작용을 한다. 항문관, 위, 요도 등에서는 돌림층의 근육이 특히 두꺼워져 내용물이 내려가는 것을 조절하는 조임근육이 형성되어 있다. 혈관에는 돌림층만 있으며, 혈관을 수축하여 혈액을 쥐어짜는 작용을 한다. 또한 자율신경의 지배를 받으며, 우리의 의지와 관계없이 작용한다. |

| 영문 | voluntary muscle | 한글 | 수의근 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 의지의 힘으로 움직일 수 있는 근육. 골격근 외에 피부 내의 피근, 관절주머니에 부착하고 있는 관절근 등이 여기에 속한다. 수의근의 근섬유에는 가로무늬가 있으므로 가로무늬근이라고도 하나, 심장근은 가로 무늬가 있어도 수의근이 아니므로 수의근과 가로무늬근은 동의어는 아니다. 수의근의 운동은 민무늬근보다 빠르다. 수의근이라 해도 골격근 등은 근육무리로서 움직일 수 있으나, 개개의 근육은 따로따로 마음대로 움직이게 할 수 없다. 귓바퀴근육은 사람의 경우 발육이 나빠 마음대로 움직이게 하기 어렵다. |

| crus of helix | A transverse ridge continuing backward from the helix of the auricle, dividing the concha into an upper portion (cymba) and a lower portion (cavity of concha). Synonym: crus helicis, crista helicis, limb of helix. (05 Mar 2000) |

| helix | <chemistry, molecular biology> A spiral structure in a macromolecule that contains a repeating pattern. (09 Oct 1997) |
| helix-coil transition | <molecular biology> A change in the structure of a nucleic acid or protein molecule from a highly ordered, complex structure to a random, chaotic structure. Also means that the protein or nucleic acid becomes denatured. (09 Oct 1997) |
| helix destabilising protein | <molecular biology, protein> Proteins involved in DNA replication. They bind cooperatively to single stranded areas of a DNA molecule in a double helix, causing the helix to unwind and preventing the reformation of the duplex and extending the DNA backbone, thus making the exposed bases more accessible for base pairing. (10 Oct 1997) |
| helix (snails) | A genus of chiefly eurasian and african land snails including the principal edible snails as well as several pests of cultivated plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spine of helix | An anteriorly directed spine at the extremity of the crus of the helix of the auricle. Synonym: spina helicis, apophysis helicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA helix | The helical structure assumed by two strands of deoxyribonucleic acid, held together throughout their length by hydrogen bonds between bases on opposite strands, referred to as Watson-Crick base pairing. See: base pair. Synonym: DNA helix, double helix, twin helix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double helix | <molecular biology> Conformation or shape that two linear strands of DNA assume when bonded together and become twisted into a helix. (10 Nov 1998) |
| tail of helix | A flattened process terminating the cartilage of the helix of the ear, posteriorly and inferiorly. Synonym: cauda helicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triple helix | The superhelix formed (right-handed) from three individual collagen helices (each being left-handed). (05 Mar 2000) |
| twin helix | The helical structure assumed by two strands of deoxyribonucleic acid, held together throughout their length by hydrogen bonds between bases on opposite strands, referred to as Watson-Crick base pairing. See: base pair. Synonym: DNA helix, double helix, twin helix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 3.613 helix | The helical (commonly right-handed) form present in many proteins, deduced by Pauling and Corey from X-ray diffraction studies of proteins such as alpha-keratin; the helix is stabilised by hydrogen bonds between, e.g., ==C==O and HN== groups (symbolised by the centre dot in ==CO-HN==) of different eupeptide bonds. In a true a helix, there are 3.6 amino acid residues per turn of the helix. Synonym: 3.613 helix, Pauling-Corey helix. Collagen helix, an extended left-handed helix resulting from the high levels of glycine, l-proline, and l-hydroxyproline present in the collagens. There are 3.3 amino acids per turn of the helix. Three of those left-handed helices form a triple superhelix that is right-handed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fossa of helix | 1. The longitudinal furrow between the helix and the antihelix of the auricle. Synonym: fossa of helix, scaphoid fossa. 2. Obsolete term for scaphoid fossa. Origin: L. Fr. G. Skaphe, skiff (05 Mar 2000) |
| limb of helix | A transverse ridge continuing backward from the helix of the auricle, dividing the concha into an upper portion (cymba) and a lower portion (cavity of concha). Synonym: crus helicis, crista helicis, limb of helix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal external oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, fifth to twelfth ribs; insertion, anterior half of lateral lip of iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and anterior layer of the rectus sheath; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, draws thorax downward; nerve supply, thoracoabdominal nerves. Synonym: musculus obliquus externus abdominis, abdominal external oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
