| acromial end of clavicle | The flattened lateral end of the clavicle that articulates with the acromion and is anchored to the coracoid process by the conoid and trapezoid ligaments. Synonym: extremitas acromialis claviculae, acromial end of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| annulospiral organ | One of two types of sensory nerve ending associated with a neuromuscular spindle (the other being the flower-spray ending); after entering the muscle spindle, the fibre divides into two flat ribbon-like branches that wind themselves in rings or spirals about the intrafusal muscle fibres. Synonym: annulospiral organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auditory organ | Archaic term for gustatory organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blunt-end | Refers to double-stranded DNA in which there are no unpaired bases at the end. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blunt-end DNA | <molecular biology> A fragment of a DNA molecule in which the ends of both strands are even with each other rather than one strand being longer than the other. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blunt-end ligation | A lab technique to join together two pieces of blunt-end DNA, such as an insert into a cloning vector, which requires the enzyme ligase because there are no single-stranded overhanging ends for the attachment to form more spontaneously, by itself. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bojanus organ | <zoology> A glandular organ of bivalve mollusca, serving in part as a kidney. Origin: From Bojanus, the discoverer. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| by-end | Private end or interest; secret purpose; selfish advantage. Alternative forms: bye-end. (20 Mar 1998) |
| capped 5'-end | A methylated (has a -CH3 attached) guanosine nucleotide attached to the 5'-end (the beginning) of an eukaryotic mRNA, thought to give the mRNA stability. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vestibular organ | Collective term for the utricle, saccule, and saemicircular ducts of the membranous labyrinth, each having a single patch of ciliated receptor epithelium innervated by the vestibular nerve: macula of sacculus, macula of utriculus, and cristae of the saemicircular ducts.

| vestibulocochlear organ | The external, middle, and internal ear. Synonym: organum vestibulocochleare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestigial organ | A rudimentary structure in humans corresponding to a functional structure or organ in the lower animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visual organ | The eye and its adnexa. Synonym: organum visus, organ of vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomeronasal organ | A specialised part of the olfactory system located anteriorly in the nasal cavity within the nasal septum. Chemosensitive cells of the vomeronasal organ project via the vomeronasal nerve to the accessory olfactory bulb. The primary function of this organ appears to be in sensing pheromones which regulate reproductive and other social behaviours. While the structure has been thought absent in higher primate adults, data now suggests it may be present in adult humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycosylation end products, advanced | Products derived from the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose and proteins in vivo that exhibit a yellow-brown pigmentation and an ability to participate in protein-protein cross-linking. These substances are involved in biological processes relating to protein turnover and it is believed that their excessive accumulation contributes to the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus.
