| high altitude chamber | A decompression chamber for simulating a high altitude environment, particularly its low barometric pressure. Synonym: high altitude chamber. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pulp chamber | <dentistry> The very inner part of your tooth containing nerve cells and blood vessels. (08 Jan 1998) |
| hyperbaric chamber | <apparatus> A pressurised chamber that allows for the delivery of oxygen in higher concentrations for therapeutic benefit. Useful in the treatment of severe burns, peripheral vascular disease, carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression illness. (27 Sep 1997) |
| sinoatrial chamber | <anatomy> The common chamber formed by the single embryonic atrium and the right and left horns of the sinus venosus. (20 Jun 2000) |
| sinuatrial chamber | <anatomy> The common chamber formed by the single embryonic atrium and the right and left horns of the sinus venosus. (20 Jun 2000) |

| decompression chamber | <apparatus> A steel chamber that is used to apply oxygen under pressure to reverse the effects of the bends or to treat other forms of barotrauma. Synonym: hyperbaric chamber. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ionization chamber | A chamber for detecting ionization of the enclosed gas; used for determining intensity of ionizing radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orientation chamber | <cell culture> Chamber designed by Zigmond in which to test the ability of cells (neutrophils) to orient in a gradient of chemoattractant. The chamber is similar to a haemocytometer, but with a depth of only ca. 20m. The gradient is set up by diffusion from one well to the other and the orientation of cells towards the well containing chemoattractant is scored on the basis of their morphology or by filming their movement. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Zappert counting chamber | A special, standardised glass slide used for counting cells (especially erythrocytes and leukocytes) and other particulate material in a measured volume of fluid; the central portion is precisely ground in such a manner that the uniformly flat surface is exactly 0.1 mm lower than that of two parallel ridges on which a special, uniformly flat coverslip may be placed; accurately etched lines on the flat central portion form the boundaries of groups of squares of known areas, thereby providing the basis for determining the volume of fluid in which the cells are counted. Glass slides of this type are frequently known as haemocytometers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Zigmond chamber | <cell culture> Chamber designed by Zigmond in which to test the ability of cells (neutrophils) to orient in a gradient of chemoattractant. The chamber is similar to a haemocytometer, but with a depth of only ca. 20m. The gradient is set up by diffusion from one well to the other and the orientation of cells towards the well containing chemoattractant is scored on the basis of their morphology or by filming their movement. (18 Nov 1997) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute anterior poliomyelitis | Inflammation of the anterior cornua of the spinal cord; an acute infectious disease caused by the poliomyelitis virus and marked by fever, pains, and gastroenteric disturbances, followed by a flaccid paralysis of one or more muscular groups, and later by atrophy. Synonym: acute atrophic paralysis, myogenic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Acidophil cell's that constitute about 35% of the cell's of the anterior lobe. There are two varieties: one that elaborates somatotropin, another that elaborates prolactin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior | <anatomy> Toward the front or in front of. (27 Sep 1997) |
