| serosa |
The delicate, one-cell-thick outside lining of an organ in the body, particularly (for our purposes in this book) the organs of the peritoneal cavity. Unlike other body surfaces such as the skin and the lining of the stomach or intestines, an ulcer (or missing patch) of the peritoneal serosa always heals in 8 days, however big the ulcer, or defect, is. See also peritoneal adhesions and peritoneum.

| serotonin |
A vasoconstrictor found in many tissues of the body that is present in relatively high concentrations in portions of the central nervous system (eg, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, etc.). Serotonin functions as a neurotransmitter, regulating the delivery of messages between nerve cells (neurons). This neurotransmitter is thought to play some role in regulating consciousness and mood states. Serotonin is also present in other tissues of the body such as the intestines and blood platelets.
