| stratum reticulare cutis | The thicker deep layer of the corium consisting of dense irregularly arranged connective tissue. Synonym: reticular layer of corium, stratum reticulare cutis, tunica propria corii. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| striae cutis distensae | Bands of thin wrinkled skin, initially red but becoming purple and white, which occur commonly on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs at puberty and/or during and following pregnancy, and result from atrophy of the dermis and overextension of the skin; also associated with ascites and Cushing's syndrome. Synonym: atrophoderma striatum, lineae albicantes, lineae atrophicae, linear atrophy, stretch marks, stria, striae atrophicae, striate atrophy of skin, traction atrophy, vergeture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulci cutis | The numerous grooves of variable depth on the surface of the epidermis. Synonym: sulci cutis, skin grooves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteosis cutis | osteoma cutis |
| tuberculosis cutis | Pathologic lesions of the skin caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Synonym: dermal tuberculosis, tuberculosis cutis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis cutis follicularis disseminata | Dusky-red papules followed by crusting and ulceration primarily on the extremities and predominantly in young adults with a deep focus of tuberculosis or with a history of preceding infection. Synonym: tuberculosis cutis follicularis disseminata, tuberculosis papulonecrotica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis cutis luposa | Cutaneous tuberculosis with characteristic nodular lesions on the face, particularly about the nose and ears. Synonym: lupus tuberculosus, tuberculosis cutis luposa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis cutis orificialis | Any tuberculous lesion in or about the mouth or anus. Synonym: tuberculosis ulcerosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis cutis verrucosa | A tuberculous skin lesion having a warty surface with a chronic inflammatory base seen on the hands in adults and lower extremities in children, with marked hypersensitivity to tuberculous antigens. See: postmortem wart. Synonym: lupus papillomatosus, lupus verrucosus, tuberculous wart, verrucous scrofuloderma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leiomyoma cutis | Cutaneous eruption of multiple small painful nodules composed of smooth muscle fibres; derived from arrector muscles of hair. Synonym: dermatomyoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukaemia cutis | Yellow-brown, red, blue-red, or purple, sometimes nodular lesions associated with diffuse infiltration of leukaemic cells in the skin; the involvement may be diffuse and generalised, i.e., so-called universal leukaemia cutis, or it may be localised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoidosis cutis et mucosae | <disease> A familial disease occurring in the course of latent diabetes, marked by yellowish nodules due to deposits of a protein-lipid complex on the oral tongue and sublingual and faucial areas, translucent keratotic papillomatous eyelid lesions, keratotic lesions on the extremities, and hoarseness. It is due to a disturbance of lipid metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance and is frequently associated with intracranial calcifications. inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: hyalinasis cutis et mucosae, lipoidosis cutis et mucosae, Urbach-Wiethe disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbe test plate | <equipment> A long, wedge-shaped coverslip about 0.20 mm thick at one end and 0.10 to 0.12 mm at the other end coated chemically with a silver film on which are ruled horizontal lines. at each variation in thickness of 0.01 mm there are vertical lines. By means of oblique illumination and by focusing on different portions of the plate, it is possible to determine the optimum coverslip thickness for any objective and also, for microscopes with drawtubes, the tube length for best objective performance. The approximate freedom from spherical and chromatic aberrations can also be estimated. Small isolated bits of silver near the edges of the lines form good objects for the star test (05 Aug 1998) |
| alar plate of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal plate | The anal portion of the cloacal plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
