| VSV | vesicular stomatitis virus |
| vesicular stomatitis | A vesicular disease of horses, cattle, swine, and occasionally man caused by a vesiculovirus (vesicular stomatitis virus); in horses and cattle the disease usually causes mouth vesicles which, in cattle, cannot be differentiated clinically from those of foot-and-mouth disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| vesicular stomatitis-indiana virus | The type species of vesiculovirus causing a disease symptomatically similar to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, horses, and pigs. It may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vesicular stomatitis virus | <virology> Rhabdovirus causing the disease soremouth in cattle. Widely used as a laboratory tool especially in studies on the spike glycoprotein as a model for the synthesis, post translational modification and export of membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vesicular venous plexus | A plexus of veins around the fundus and sides of the bladder. Synonym: plexus venosus vesicalis, venous plexus of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rickettsiosis, vesicular | See Rickettsialpox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease | <virology> An enterovirus infection of swine clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis, and vesicular exanthema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease virus | <virology> A porcine enterovirus causing vesicular disease in swine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| active transport | <biochemistry, chemistry> Transport of ions, nutrients or other molecules into a cell against a concentration gradient, this requires the expenditure of energy through ATP hydrolysis. (06 May 1997) |
| anterograde transport | Movement of material from the cell body of a neuron into axons and dendrites retrograde axoplasmic transport also occurs). (18 Nov 1997) |
| atrial transport function | The role of the atria in filling and stretching the ventricles by their presystolic contraction, without which the force of ventricular contraction and hence the cardiac output may significantly decrease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonal transport | Directed transport of organelles and molecules along a nerve cell axon. Transport can be anterograde (from the cell body) or retrograde (toward the cell body). (alberts et al., molecular biology of the cell, 3d ed, pg3) (12 Dec 1998) |
| axoplasmic transport | Transport by way of flow of axoplasm toward cell soma (retrograde) or toward axon terminal (anterograde). (05 Mar 2000) |
| biological transport | The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) across cell membranes and epithelial layers, usually by passive diffusion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological transport, active | The movement of materials across cell membranes and epithelial layers against an electrochemical gradient, requiring the expenditure of metabolic energy. (12 Dec 1998) |
