| bile salts | The salt forms of bile acids; e.g., taurocholate, glycocholate. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bile salt sulfatase | <enzyme> Produces microorganism from the faecal flora of conventional rats Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: bile acid sulfate sulfatase (26 Jun 1999) |
| bile-salt sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the sulfation of glycolithocholate and taurolithocholate Registry number: EC 2.8.2.14 Synonym: bile acid sulfotransferase, bile salt-3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate-sulfotransferase, bile salt sulfotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| bile solubility test | A procedure that differentiates Streptococcus pneumoniae from other alpha-haemolytic streptococci by demonstrating its susceptibility to lysis in the presence of bile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile thrombus | An intracanalicular deposit of bile, usually a result of obstruction to bile drainage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common bile duct | <anatomy> A duct that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). (27 Sep 1997) |
| common bile duct calculi | The presence of gallstones in the common bile duct. It is usually the result of passage of gallstones formed in the gallbladder into the common duct. Less commonly, stones form in a duct behind an obstruction caused by a stricture or ampullary stenosis. Stone type helps to determine site of origin: cholesterol or black pigment stones more likely form in the gallbladder, while almost all brown pigment stones in patients from western countries form in the bile ducts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| common bile duct diseases | Diseases of the common bile duct, vater's ampulla, or oddi's sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
| common bile duct neoplasms | Neoplasms of the common bile duct including vater's ampulla and oddi's sphincter. (12 Dec 1998) |
| white bile | Designating the relatively clear, almost colourless, clear viscid fluid that occurs in the gallbladder, intestines, or both as a result of obstruction of the bile ducts in various sites; actually the secretion of the mucous membrane, without the usual colour resulting from bile pigments. Synonym: leukobilin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphincter muscle of common bile duct | Smooth muscle sphincter of the common bile duct immediately proximal to the hepatopancreatic ampulla; it is this sphincter that controls the flow of bile in the duodenum. Synonym: musculus sphincter ductus choledochi, Boyden's sphincter, choledochal sphincter, sphincter muscle of common bile duct. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: musculus sphincter ductus choledochi, Boyden's sphincter, choledochal sphincter, sphincter muscle of common bile duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acetone-insoluble antigen | A diphosphatidyl glycerol that is found in the membrane of Treponema pallidum and is the antigen detected by the Wasserman test for syphilis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| allogeneic antigen | Genetic variations of the same antigens within a given species. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen | Virus coded cell surface antigens that appear soon after the infection of a cell by virus, but before virus replication has begun. See: early gene. (18 Nov 1997) |
