| 영문 | nerve cell | 한글 | 신경세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 신경세포는 올바른 신경전달을 위한 각 부분별로 나뉘어져 있다. 신경세포에서는 전해져오는 자극을 전기적인 신호로 바뀌어 보내거나 받게 된다. 이런 전기적인 현상은 각 신경세포내에 존재하는 각 이온채널(ion channel: ion이란 나트륨, 칼륨 등을 지칭하는 말들로써, 이들이 세포막에 의해 나뉘어질 때 생기는 전압차가 전기적 자극을 일으키고 유지하는데 결정적인 역할을 한다)들의 작용에 의해 이루어지게 된다. |

| 영문 | facial nerve | 한글 | 얼굴신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 표정근을 지배하는 큰 운동신경과 작은 중간신경으로 구성된다. 좁은 의미의 얼굴신경과 중간신경으로 이루어지는 혼합신경이다. 속귀신경과 함께 속귓길로 들어가고 그 바닥에서 속귀신경과 갈라져 얼굴신경관으로 들어가, 거의 직각으로 구부러지는 부분을 얼굴신경무릎이라 하며, 여기에 무릎신경마디가 있다. |

| 영문 | sural nerve | 한글 | 장딴지신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 안쪽장딴지피부신경 및 온장딴지신경의 교통지에서 시작하여 가쪽배쪽피부신경 및 가쪽발꿈치가지의 가지를 낸다. 넙다리 등쪽의 피부, 발꿈치와 발의 가쪽의 피부 및 관절에 분포하며, 일반 감각성 기능을 한다. |

| 영문 | spinal nerve | 한글 | 척수신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 척수의 앞뿔에서 출발하는 운동신경과 뒷뿔으로 들어오는 감각신경이 합쳐서 형성되는 신경으로서 총 31쌍이 존재함. 목뼈신경이 8쌍, 자등뼈신경이 12쌍, 허리뼈의 신경이 5쌍, 엉치뼈의 6쌍을 이룸. |

| 영문 | auditory nerve | 한글 | 청신경 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 귀에서 감지된 청각의 신호를 대뇌로 보내는 역할을 하는 신경. 달팽이신경라고 불리기도 한다. 그것은 소리를 전기적 신호로 바꾸어 신경으로 전달해 주는 달팽이의 집같이 생긴 기관을 달팽이라고 부르기 때문이다.  |

| BTPS | at body temperature and ambient pressure, and saturated with water vapor [gas] |

| CCGC | capillary column gas chromotography |
| FECO2 | fractional concentration of carbon dioxide in expired gas |
| FEO2, | FEO2 fractional concentration of oxygen in expired gas |
| FGF | father's grandfather; fibroblast growth factor; fresh gas flow |
| gas phlegmon | <microbiology> A severe form of gangrene (tissue necrosis) caused by Clostridium infection. Also referred to as necrotising subcutaneous infection. Results in death of the subcutaneous tissues and muscle layers. See: necrotising fascitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| gas retinopexy | A retinal detachment repair in which the retina is held in place by an expandable gas. Synonym: pneumatic retinopexy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas scavengers | Apparatus for removing exhaled or leaked anaesthetic gases or other volatile agents, thus reducing the exposure of operating room personnel to such agents, as well as preventing the buildup of potentially explosive mixtures in operating rooms or laboratories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gas shift process | A process in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in the presence of a catalyst to form methane and water. (05 Dec 1998) |
| gas thermometer | A thermometer filled with dry air or a gas, the expansion or increased pressure of which indicates the degree of heat; used to measure high temperatures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas turbine | (combustion turbine) A turbine that converts the energy of hot compressed gases (produced by burning fuel in compressed air) into mechanical power. Often fired by natural gas or fuel oil. (05 Dec 1998) |
| gas vacuole | A prokaryotic cellular organelle consisting of cylindrical vesicles around 75 x 300nm, often in clusters. The wall of the gas vacuole, which is permeable to gases but not to water, is formed from a monolayer of a single protein. Gas vacuoles are found mainly in planktonic cyanobacteria and their prime function is to make the bacterium buoyant. (18 Nov 1997) |
| gas vesicle | The hollow, cylindrical, gas-filled structure in the gas vacuole. It confers ability for gas vacuole to float. (09 Oct 1997) |
| marsh gas | <chemistry> A light, colourless, gaseous, inflammable hydrocarbon, CH4; marsh gas. See Marsh gas, under Gas. <chemistry> Methane series, a series of saturated hydrocarbons, of which methane is the first member and type, and (because of their general chemical inertness and indifference) called also the paraffin (little affinity) series. The lightest members are gases, as methane, ethane; intermediate members are liquids, as hexane, heptane, etc. (found in benzine, kerosene, etc); while the highest members are white, waxy, or fatty solids, as paraffin proper.

| vesicating gas | A gas, such as mustard gas, which upon contact with the skin causes vesication and sloughing; inhalation may result in bronchopneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vomiting gas | A gas, such as chloropicrin, that can cause vomiting and gastrointestinal disorders such as colic and diarrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pentavalent gas gangrene antitoxin | Antitoxin specific for the toxin of one or more species of Clostridium that cause gaseous gangrene and associated toxaemia, especially C. Perfringens C. Novyi, C. Histolyticum, and commercially available preparations are usually polyvalent, i.e., contain antitoxin for two or more species. Synonym: pentavalent gas gangrene antitoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatography, gas | Fractionation of a vaporised sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mixed expired gas | <physiology> One or more complete breaths of expired gas coming thoroughly mixed from the dead space and the alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| water gas | <chemistry> See Gas. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
