| 영문 | bone age | 한글 | 뼈나이, 골연령 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 생리적 연령의 일종으로 나이를 더함에 따른 뼈의 성숙도를 평가하여 어린이의 전신발육을 판정하는 것이다. 뼈나이 평가에는 손목뼈나 발목뼈의 X선사진을 바탕으로 각 화골중심의 형태나 수를 평가한다. 손목뼈의 화골개수를 세는 방법은 간단해서 그의 수는 난 해를 포함한 연령과 거의 일치하지만 뼈발육의 지속을 가늠할 수 있다. |

| 영문 | bone scan | 한글 | 뼈스캔 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뼈의 무기질은 칼슘과 인산염으로 이루어져 있다. 그래서 뼈에 병터가 있는 경우에는 뼈의 인산염분포나 양이 변화하게 된다. 이것을 이용하여 인산염에다가 방사선을 내보내는 물질을 붙여 환자에게 투여하고 그 물질이 내보내는 방사선을 이용하여 영상을 만들어서 뼈의 전반적인 상태나 병터의 발견에 이용하는 방법을 뼈스캔(bone scan)이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | mandibular bone, mandible | 한글 | 아래턱뼈, 하악골 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 얼굴을 구성하는 뼈의 한 종류로써, 흔히 말하는 "턱"을 이루는 뼈를 말한다. 얼굴뼈를 이루는 뼈는 위턱뼈(maxillary bone), 아래뼈(mandibular bone), 눈물뼈(lacrimal bone), 코뼈(nasal bone), 광대뼈(zygomatic bone), 보습뼈(vomer) 등이 있다. |

| 영문 | red bone marrow | 한글 | 적색골수 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 분화중의 갈비뼈, 척추뼈나 그 외의 많은 작은 뼈에 있는 활동성 골수이다. 적혈구나 과립백혈구의 생산 장소이다. |

| 영문 | nasal bone | 한글 | 코뼈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 코뿌리의 기초를 이루는 사다리꼴의 얇은 뼈로 좌우 한 쌍의 물렁뼈이며, 정중앙선에서 붙어 있다. 코뼈의 윗모서리는 이마뼈, 아래모서리는 코선반연골, 가쪽모서리는 위턱뼈이마돌기와 접한다. 바깥면은 평활하지만 속안면은 요면을 이루며, 세로로 걸친 벌집뼈신경구는 코뼈구멍으로 연결되어 앞벌집뼈신경과 통한다. |

| soil structure | The combination or arrangement of primary soil particles into secondary particles, units or peds. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| stem and loop structure | <molecular biology> The structure of tRNAs is so termed because it has four base paired stems and three loops (not base paired), one of which contains the anticodon. (18 Nov 1997) |
| structure | <microscopy> The mode of construction of an animate or inanimate body or system from units such as atoms, ions, molecules, cells, crystals in a fluid, plastic, or solid state. Cf. Morphology. (05 Aug 1998) |
| structure activity analysis | Study in which systematic variation in the structure of a compound is correlated with its activity, in an attempt to determine the characteristics of the (receptor) site at which it acts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| structure-activity relationship | The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups. Other factors contributing to structure-activity relationship include chemical reactivity, electronic effects, resonance, and inductive effects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| structure-functionalism | The scientific tradition that stresses the relationship between aphysical structure and its function, for example: the related disciplinesof anatomy and physiology. (09 Oct 1997) |
| structure proteins | Proteins whose role is for structure and support in tissue and within the cell; e.g., the collagens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quarternary structure | The three-dimensional structure of a complex protein, this especially refers to the way the subunits fit together. (09 Oct 1997) |
| quaternary structure | The three-dimensional structure of a complex protein, this especially refers to the way the polypeptide subunits fit together. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tertiary structure | <biochemistry, chemistry> The third level of structural organisation in a macromolecule. The primary structure of a protein (for example) is the amino acid sequence, the secondary structure is the folding of the peptide chain (alpha helical or beta pleated), the tertiary structure is the way in which the helices or sheets are folded or arranged to give the three dimensional structure of the protein. Quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of protomers in a multimeric protein. (13 Jan 1998) |
| ecosystem structure | The physical and spatial aspects of an ecosystem that are contributed by the biotic composition. Biotic composition is generally determined by the collective physiognomy of the dominant plants, including life forms, vertical stratification, and size. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tuboreticular structure | Tubules 20-30 nm in length that lie within cisterns of smooth endoplasmic reticulum; observed in connective tissue diseases such as SLE, and in various cancers and virus infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fine structure | <pathology> General term to describe the level of organisation that is below the level of resolution of the light microscope. In practice, a shorthand term for structure observed using the electron microscope, although other techniques could give information about structure in the sub micrometre range. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fine structure mapping | A technique of DNA mapping which makes use of extremely rare recombination events where the crossing over occurs between two genes or two alleles of a gene that are only a few nucleotides apart. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bone within a bone | <radiology> STOP heavy metal, S: sickle cell disease, T: Thorotrast, O: osteopetrosis, P: Paget's disease, heavy metals, hypervitaminosis D (12 Dec 1998) |
