|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중추신경계를 제외한 나머지 모든신경을 말함. 중추신경계는 뇌와 척수를 말하며, 그외 나머지 신경들로써 실제적으로 각 기관이나 사지 말단에 신경이 분포하며, 자극을 전달하는 일을 하는 신경을 모두 통틀어 말초신경이라 한다. 뇌에서 바로 나와 분포하는 뇌신경과 척수에서 기시하는 척수신경도 모두 말초신경에 해당한다. 또한 말초신경에는 각종 자율신경을 담당하는 교감신경, 부교감신경도 포함된다. |

| 영문 | optic nerve | 한글 | 시각신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 시각을 인지하는 신경. 이 신경은 단지 감각신경으로서만 작용한다. 따라서 어떤 사물을 따라 눈을 움직일 수 있는 것은 이 시각신경과는 무관하다(이것은 눈돌림신경(oculomotor nerve)에 의해 가능하다). 또한 시각신경은 고위중추신경계인 뇌에서 직접 분지하므로 손상시 재생은 불가능하며, 이에 대한 치료법은 없다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 여러 기관들의 서로간 상호연결체계가 바로 신경계이다. 이러한 신경계는 각 신경세포들에 의해 이루어지고 있으며, 여기에는 중추신경계(central nerve system: CNS)와 말초신경계(peripheral nerve system: PNS)가 있다. 중추신경계란 뇌와 척수를 말하며, 말초신경계는 12쌍의 뇌신경(cranial nerve: 뇌에서 기시하여 주로 얼굴부위와 목 부위에 분포한다)과 31쌍의 척수신경(spinal nerve: spinal cord에서 각기 양쪽으로 쌍을 이루어 나오는데 주로 목이하부위의 신체 각 부분으로 분포하게 된다)으로 구성되어 있다. 또한 말초신경계에는 앞에서 말한 뇌신경과 척수신경외에 자율신경계가 존재한다. 자율신경계는 다시 교감신경과 부교감신경으로 나뉘어져 서로간의 올바른 상호작용으로 몸속에서 여러 가지 작용을 수행한다. |

| birth rate | The birth rate is usually given as the number of live births divided by the average population (or the population at midyear). This is termed the crude birth rate. In 1995, for example, the crude birth rate per 1,000 population was 14 in the United States, 16.9 in Australia, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| birth trauma | Physical injury to an infant during its delivery, the supposed emotional injury, inflicted by events incident to birth, upon an infant which allegedly appears in symbolic form in patients with mental illness. Trauma from occlusion, a reversible lesion in the periodontium caused by excessive movement of teeth. Occlusal trauma, abnormal occlusal stresses capable of producing or which have produced pathologic changes in the tooth and its surrounding structures. Psychic trauma, an upsetting experience precipitating or aggravating an emotional or mental disorder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| birth weight | In humans, the first weight of an infant obtained within less than the first 60 completed minutes after birth; a full-size infant is one weighing 2500 g or more; a low birth weight is less than 2500 g. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachial birth palsy | Paralysis of the infant's arm due to injury received at birth usually resulting from a shoulder dystocia; three types are recognised: 1) whole arm; 2) upper arm (Erb's p.); 3) forearm (Klumpke's paralysis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaginal birth after cesarean | Delivery of an infant through the vagina in a female who has had a prior cesarean section. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaginal birth after cesarian section | It was once the rule that after a c-section, the next delivery also had to be by c-section. Now vaginal delivery after cesarian section (vbac) is frequently feasible. See: vbac. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rate, birth | The birth rate is usually given as the number of live births divided by the average population (or the population at midyear). This is termed the crude birth rate. In 1995, for example, the crude birth rate per 1,000 population was 14 in the united states, 16.9 in Australia, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cesarian section, vaginal birth after | It was once the rule that after a C-section, the next delivery also had to be by C-section. Now vaginal delivery after Cesarian section (VBAC) is frequently feasible. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple birth offspring | The offspring in multiple pregnancies (pregnancy, multiple): twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| crude birth rate | <epidemiology> The number of live births in a year divided by the population size. (05 Dec 1998) |
| infant, low birth weight | An infant having a birth weight of 2500 gm. (5.5 lb.) or less but infant, very low birth weight is available for infants having a birth weight of 1500 grams (3.3 lb.) or less. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infant, very low birth weight | An infant having a birth weight of 1500 grams (3.3 lb.) or less. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abbreviated injury scale | Classification system for assessing impact injury severity developed and published by the american association for automotive medicine. It is the system of choice for coding single injuries and is the foundation for methods assessing multiple injuries or for assessing cumulative effects of more than one injury. These include maximum ais (mais), injury severity score (iss), and probability of death score (pods). (12 Dec 1998) |
| blast injury | Tearing of lung tissue or rupture of abdominal viscera without external injury, as by the force of an explosion. (05 Mar 2000) |
