| angiolithic degeneration | Calcareous degeneration of the walls of the blood vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ascending degeneration | Retrograde degeneration of an injured nerve fibre; i.e., toward the nerve cell of the fibre, degeneration cephalad to a spinal cord lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atheromatous degeneration | Focal accumulation of lipid material (atheroma) in the intima and subintimal portion of arteries, eventually resulting in fibrous thickening or calcification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonal degeneration | A type of peripheral nerve fibre response to insult, wherein axon death and subsequent breakdown occurs, with secondary breakdown of the myelin sheath associated; caused by focal injury to peripheral nerve fibres; often referred to as wallerian degeneration. Synonym: axon degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ballooning degeneration | A phenomenon observed especially in cells that are infected with certain viruses, resulting in conspicuous swelling of the cell and cytoplasmic vacuolation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basophilic degeneration | Blue staining of connective tissues when haematoxylin-eosin stain is used; found in such conditions as solar elastosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcareous degeneration | In a precise sense, not a degenerative process per se, but the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in tissue that has degenerated and become necrotic, as in dystrophic calcification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carneous degeneration | Necrosis, with staining by haemoglobin, which may occur in uterine myomas, especially during pregnancy; marked by softening and a red colour resembling partly cooked meat. Synonym: carneous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vacuolar degeneration | Formation of nonlipid vacuoles in cytoplasm, most frequently due to accumulation of water by cloudy swelling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reaction of degeneration | The electrical reaction in a degenerated nerve and the muscles supplied by it; characterised by absence of response to both galvanic and faradic stimulus in the nerve and to faradic stimulus in the muscles; the muscles may still respond to galvanic stimulation, but the cathodal closing contraction is greater than the anodal closing contraction, the reverse of normal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marginal corneal degeneration | Bilateral opacification and vascularization of the periphery of the cornea, progressing to formation of a gutter and ectasia. Synonym: ectatic marginal degeneration of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parenchymatous degeneration | Swelling of cells due to injury to the membranes affecting ionic transfer; causes an accumulation of intracellular water. Synonym: albuminous swelling, granular degeneration, hydropic degeneration, parenchymatous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| red degeneration | Necrosis, with staining by haemoglobin, which may occur in uterine myomas, especially during pregnancy; marked by softening and a red colour resembling partly cooked meat. Synonym: carneous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caseous degeneration | Caseation necrosis, necrosis characteristic of certain inflammations (e.g., tuberculosis, histoplasmosis), which represents necrosis with loss of separate structures of the various cellular and histologic elements; affected tissue manifests the friable, crumbly consistency and dull, opaque quality observed in cheese. Synonym: caseous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macular degeneration |
Any deterioration of the macula tissue. Most commonly used to describe Age Related Macular Degeneration, (AMD),a condition characterized by pigment and blood vessel deterioration beneath the neurosensory macula.

| macular degeneration |
The macula is a tiny area of the retina that allows clear central vision such as that needed to read or drive. A deterioration of the macula known as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of blindness in Americans over 65 years of age.
