|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 비뇨기계통이라하면 콩팥으로부터 시작해서 요관, 방광, 요도에 이르는 일련의 오줌생성 및 저장, 배설기관을 일컫는다. 콩팥은 길이 약 2.5cm, 폭 약 5.1cm, 두께 약 2.5cm, 무게 약 120~160gm으로서, 내측에 콩팥문이 있어 혈관, 신경, 요관이 출입하고 있다. 콩팥은 속질과 겉질로 이루어져 있으며 수질은 10~15개의 추체(오줌을 모으는 역할)를 형성하고 겉질은 약 100만개의 콩팥단위으로 구성되어 있다. 요세관은 토리쪽뇨세관, 헨레고리, 먼쪽뇨세관, 집합관으로 형성되어 있으며, 추체와 술잔, 깔때기를 거쳐 요관으로 연결된다. 콩팥은 혈액을 여과하여 신체 신진대사의 최종산물을 오줌의 형태로 배설하며, 세포외액(extracellular fluid)의 전해질농도를 조절한다. 콩팥에서 형성된 오줌는 요관을 거쳐 방광에서 저장되고 있다가 적당한 시기가 되면 요도를 통해 외계로 배출된다. |

| 설명 | 1.남성생식계통: 남성생식기는 정자(sperm)를 생성하는 고환과 정자의 성숙, 운반, 그리고 사정에 관여하는 부고환, 정관, 음경(penis) 등으로 이루어져 있으며, 부속기관으로 외분비샘인 정낭(seminal vesicle), 전립샘(prostate), 요도망물샘(bulbourethral gland, Cowper’s gland) 등을 갖추고 있다. 고환은 정자를 생산하는 생식샘인 동시에 남성호르몬(testosterone)을 분비하는 내분비샘이다. 고환에서 분비되는 남성호르몬은 정자생성과 생식기의 발달 및 유지에 필수적인 역할을 하므로 남성생식기능의 원천은 고환에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 2.여성생식계통: 여성생식기는 난자를 생성하는 난소와 난자를 자궁으로 운반하는 난관, 그리고 자궁과 질로 이루어져 있으며 외분비선인 바르톨린샘를 갖추고 있다. 난소는 난자를 생성하는 생식샘인 동시에 여성호르몬을 분비케하는 내분비샘이다. 월경주기 전반부에 난자를 생성시키기위해 성숙되고 있는 난포에서 분비되는 에스트로겐은 여성 2차 성징의 발달을 관장할 뿐 아니라 자궁내막을 장차 수정될 수정란이 착상하기에 알맞은 상태로 만들어준다. 난자가 분비되고 남은 황체에서 분비되는 푸로게스테론은 자궁내막을 붓도록 하면 분비액을 증가시키며 자궁근의 수축을 방해하여 임신시 임신을 지속시키는 역할을 한다. |

| paraneoplastic acrokeratosis | <syndrome> Erythematous to plum-coloured scaly acral skin lesions, paronychia, and nail dysplasia; associated with cancer of the upper respiratory or upper alimentary tract. Synonym: paraneoplastic acrokeratosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| paraneoplastic encephalomyelopathy | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraneoplastic syndrome | <oncology, syndrome> A collection of symptoms or clinical signs that are found in patients that have malignant disease. By definition, the signs and symptoms are not produced by a direct effect of a tumour or its metastasis nor due to direct invasion, compression, metastasis, infection, nutritional deficiency or treatment of the underlying neoplasm. Paraneoplastic syndromes can arise from tumour produced biologically active polypeptides or proteins, autoimmunity or immune complex production and immune suppression, blockade of the normal effect of a hormone, the release of substances from tumour associated endothelium which are not normally released and finally unknown causes. The best characterised paraneoplastic syndrome is the syndrome of inappropriate ADH. (15 Dec 1997) |
| androgen resistance syndromes | A class of disorders associated with 5a-steroid reductase deficiency, testicular feminization, and related disorders. Compare: steroid 5a-reductase, Reifenstein's syndrome, infertile male syndrome, testicular feminization syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic arch syndromes | Any of a group of disorders leading to occlusion of the arteries arising from the aortic arch. Such occlusion may be caused by atherosclerosis, arterial embolism, syphilitic or tuberculous arteritis, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malabsorption syndromes | General term for syndromes of malnutrition due to failure of normal intestinal absorption of nutrients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pathologic startle syndromes | A group of disorders characterised by markedly exaggerated startle reflex and other exaggerated stimulus-induced responses. Includes hyperexplexia and probably latah and the jumping Frenchman of Maine syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromosomal instability syndromes | A group of mendelian conditions associated with chromosomal instability and breakage in vitro, they often manifest an increased tendency to certain types of malignancies. See: Bloom's syndrome, fragile X syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compartment syndromes | Conditions in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the circulation and function of tissue within that space. Compartmentation involves mainly the leg but also involved are the forearm, arm, thigh, shoulder, and buttock. Some of the causes of increased pressure are trauma, tight dressings, haemorrhage, and exercise. Sequelae include nerve compression, paralysis, and contracture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myelodysplastic syndromes | Conditions in which the bone marrow shows qualitative and quantitative changes suggestive of a preleukaemic process, but having a chronic course that does not necessarily terminate as acute leukaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
