| MS | I, II, III, IV medical student-first, second, third, and fourth year |
| cranial nerve III | <anatomy, nerve> The occulomotor nerve is responsible for motor enervation of upper eyelid muscle, extraocular muscle and pupillary muscle. Lesions of the oculomotor nerve results in ptosis (dropping eyelid), deviation of the eyeball outward, double vision and a dilated pupil. Synonym: cranial nerve III. (27 Sep 1997) |

| processus styloideus ossis metacarpalis III | A pointed projection from the dorsolateral angle of the base of the third metacarpal bone; it sometimes exists as a separate ossicle. Synonym: processus styloideus ossis metacarpalis III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protoporphyrinogen type III | The immediate precursor of protoporphyrin III in haem biosynthesis; elevated in cases of variegate porphyria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protoporphyrinogen type III oxidase | A mitochondrial enzyme that uses O2 to convert protoporphyrinogen type III to protoporphyrin type III in haem biosynthesis; a deficiency of this enzyme is associated with variegate porphyria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protoporphyrin type III | 2,7,12,18-Tetramethyl-3,8-divinylporphin-13,17dipropionic acid;the principal protoporphyrin found in nature (one of 15 possible isomers), characterised by the presence of 4 methyl groups, 2 vinyl groups, and 2 propionic acid side chains; a porphyrin derivative that, with iron, forms the haem of haemoglobin and the prosthetic groups of myoglobin, catalase, cytochromes, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Hind III | <enzyme, molecular biology> Commonly used type II restriction endonuclease isolated from Haemophilus influenzae, it cleaves the sequence AAGCTT between the two As thus generating sticky ends. (18 Nov 1997) |
| HTLV-III | <abbreviation> Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III. See: human immunodeficiency virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyperlipoproteinaemia type III | A rather uncommon form of familial hyperlipaemia characterised by the presence of lipoproteins of abnormal composition. The main abnormal lipoproteins are called beta-vldl and have a different apoprotein content and a higher proportion of cholesterol relative to triglyceride than normal vldl. (12 Dec 1998) |
| NADH-Fe(III)EDTA oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From cryptococcus albidus; catalyses the formation of nad+ and fe(ii)edta from NADH and fe(iii)edta; forms ethylene from 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutyric acid Registry number: EC 1.6.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| Sudan III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sudan red III | A red stain, (C6H5)N==N(C6H4)N==N(C10H6)OH, used for neutral fat in histologic technique; it also stains the fatty envelope of the tubercle bacillus. Synonym: Sudan red III. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribonucleases, type III site-specific | <enzyme> Enzyme systems composed of two subunits and requiring ATP and magnesium for endonucleolytic activity; they do not function as atpases. They exist as complexes with modification methylases of similar specificity. The systems recognise specific short DNA sequences and cleave a short distance, about 24 to 27 bases, away from the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA polymerase III | <enzyme> An enzyme that aids in DNA replication. It has a number of different functions, such as: proofreading newly replicated DNA, removing nucleotides from the 3' end of the strand one by one, and binding nucleotides from the 5' end of the strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ductus pharyngobranchialis III | A narrow communication between the third branchial pouch and the pharynx in the embryo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type III acrocephalosyndactyly | An autosomal dominant syndrome with variable expression of brachycephaly, maxillary hypoplasia, prominent ear crus, syndactyly, facial asymmetry, shallow orbits, telecanthus, and nasal septal deviation; may show mental retardation. Synonym: Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
