visceral lesion (내장 병소
| habitat component | <ecology> A single element (for example, velocity, depth, cover, etc.) of the habitat or environment in which a fish or other aquatic species or population may live or occur. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| secretory component | <physiology> A glycoprotein found in a variety of external secretions (tears, bile, colostrum) usually complexed to secreted polymeric immunoglobulins (IgA or, less frequently IgM). It is derived, by proteolytic cleavage, from the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (receptors, polymeric immunoglobulin) and probably functions to protect the immunoglobulins from proteolysis in the secretions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secretory component of IgA | <immunology, protein> A polypeptide chain of about 60 kD that aids secretion of the IgA, a portion of the IgA receptor on the plasmalemma of the inner side of the epithelial cells lining the gut, which is proteolysed when the IgA receptor complex has travelled through the cell after receptor mediated endocytosis at the inner face, to the outer (luminal) face. (18 Nov 1997) |
| serum amyloid P component | Precursor of amyloid component P, found in basement membrane. Member of the pentraxin family. See: serum amyloid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| two-component plasma | <radiobiology> Refers to a plasma containing a cool thermal component and a population of high energy particles (such as from neutral beam injection) which are in the process of thermalising (slowing down). (09 Oct 1997) |
| fast component | <molecular biology> A segment of eukaryotic DNA consisting of highly-repeated nucleotide sequences which, when the entire duplex DNA molecule is denatured (the double-stranded helix comes apart and becomes single strands) and then allowed to renature (the complementary single strands come together to form a helix), will be the first segment to renature. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bones of visceral cranium | The facial skeleton, consisting of bones situated between the cranial base and the mandibular region. While some consider the facial bones to comprise the hyoid, palatine, and zygomatic bones, mandible, and maxilla, others include also the lacrimal and nasal bones, inferior nasal concha, and vomer but exclude the hyoid bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| general visceral afferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord of the embryo, developing into the nucleus of the solitary tract and relay cells of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| general visceral efferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain and spinal cord of the embryo, represented in the adult by the dorsal nucleus of the vagus, the superior and inferior salivatory and Edinger-Westphal nuclei and the visceral motor neurons of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral | <anatomy> From viscus, pertaining to a viscus. Origin: L. Visceralis (13 Oct 1997) |
| visceral afferents | The sensory fibres innervating the viscera. (12 Dec 1998) |
| visceral anaesthesia | Loss of sensation in areas of the visceral peritoneum innervated by the splanchnic nerves. Synonym: visceral anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral arches | Typically, 6 arch's in vertebrates; in the lower vertebrates, they bear gills; in the higher vertebrates, they appear transiently and give rise to specialised structures in the head and neck. Synonym: pharyngeal arches, visceral arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral brain | Collective term denoting a heterogeneous array of brain structures at or near the edge (limbus) of the medial wall of the cerebral hemisphere, in particular the hippocampus, amygdala, and fornicate gyrus; the term is often used so as to include also the interconnections of these structures, as well as their connections with the septal area, the hypothalamus, and a medial zone of mesencephalic tegmentum. By way of the latter connections, the limbic system exerts an important influence upon the endocrine and autonomic motor system's; its functions also appear to affect motivational and mood states. Synonym: visceral brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral cavity | The celom or one of the body cavity's derived from it. Synonym: visceral cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
