| smooth muscular sphincter | A sphincter of smooth musculature. Synonym: smooth muscular sphincter. Origin: G. Lissos, smooth, + sphincter (05 Mar 2000) |
| smooth strain | <microbiology> Bacterial strains that have altered outer cell wall carbohydrate chains causing colonies on agar to change their appearance from smooth to dull. In Streptococci the smooth strains are virulent whereas the rough strains are not. This is partly because the rough strains are much more readily phagocytosed. (17 Dec 1997) |
| smooth surface caries | Caries initiated on the smooth surfaces of teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum | Endoplasmic reticulum that is lacking in ribosomal granules; involved in synthesis of complex lipids and fatty acids, detoxification of drugs, carbohydrate synthesis, and sequestering of Ca++. Synonym: smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endoplasmic reticulum, smooth | A type of endoplasmic reticulum lacking associated ribosomes on the membrane surface. It exhibits a wide range of specialised metabolic functions including supplying enzymes for steroid synthesis, detoxification, and glycogen breakdown. In muscle cells, smooth endoplasmic reticulum is called sarcoplasmic reticulum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accessory organs of the eye | The eyelids, with lashes and eyebrows, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctival sac, and extrinsic muscles of the eyeball. Synonym: organa oculi accessoria, accessory organs, accessory visual apparatus, adnexa oculi, appendages of eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accommodation of eye | The increase in thickness and convexity of the eye's lens in order to focus the image of an external object upon the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amaurotic cat's eye | A yellow reflex from the pupil in cases of retinoblastoma or pseudoglioma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior chamber of eye | The space between the cornea anteriorly and the iris/pupil posteriorly, filled with a watery fluid (aqueous humor) and communicating through the pupil with the posterior chamber. Synonym: camera anterior bulbi, camera oculi anterior, camera oculi major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior eye segment | That part of the eyeball anterior to the lens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibiotic eye drops | <pharmacology> A medication that is pH balanced to allow placement into the eye for the purpose of killing bacteria. Examples include: Bleph-10, Chloromycetin, Cortisporin-Ophthalmic, Gantrisin, Genoptic, Gentacidin, Garamycin, Gantrisin, Ilotycin, Sodium Sulamyd and Sulphair. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aphakic eye | The eye from which the lens is absent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendages of eye | The eyelids, with lashes and eyebrows, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctival sac, and extrinsic muscles of the eyeball. Synonym: organa oculi accessoria, accessory organs, accessory visual apparatus, adnexa oculi, appendages of eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artificial eye | A curved disk of opaque glass or plastic, containing an imitation iris and pupil in the centre, inserted beneath the eyelids and supported by the orbital contents after evisceration or enucleation; it may be ready-made (stock) or custom-made. (05 Mar 2000) |
