|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뼈의 무기질은 칼슘과 인산염으로 이루어져 있다. 그래서 뼈에 병터가 있는 경우에는 뼈의 인산염분포나 양이 변화하게 된다. 이것을 이용하여 인산염에다가 방사선을 내보내는 물질을 붙여 환자에게 투여하고 그 물질이 내보내는 방사선을 이용하여 영상을 만들어서 뼈의 전반적인 상태나 병터의 발견에 이용하는 방법을 뼈스캔(bone scan)이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | mandibular bone, mandible | 한글 | 아래턱뼈, 하악골 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 얼굴을 구성하는 뼈의 한 종류로써, 흔히 말하는 "턱"을 이루는 뼈를 말한다. 얼굴뼈를 이루는 뼈는 위턱뼈(maxillary bone), 아래뼈(mandibular bone), 눈물뼈(lacrimal bone), 코뼈(nasal bone), 광대뼈(zygomatic bone), 보습뼈(vomer) 등이 있다. |

| 영문 | red bone marrow | 한글 | 적색골수 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 분화중의 갈비뼈, 척추뼈나 그 외의 많은 작은 뼈에 있는 활동성 골수이다. 적혈구나 과립백혈구의 생산 장소이다. |

| 영문 | nasal bone | 한글 | 코뼈 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 코뿌리의 기초를 이루는 사다리꼴의 얇은 뼈로 좌우 한 쌍의 물렁뼈이며, 정중앙선에서 붙어 있다. 코뼈의 윗모서리는 이마뼈, 아래모서리는 코선반연골, 가쪽모서리는 위턱뼈이마돌기와 접한다. 바깥면은 평활하지만 속안면은 요면을 이루며, 세로로 걸친 벌집뼈신경구는 코뼈구멍으로 연결되어 앞벌집뼈신경과 통한다. |

| cranial flexure | The sharp, ventrally concave bend in the developing midbrain of the embryo. Synonym: cerebral flexure, cranial flexure, mesencephalic flexure. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cranial fontanels | <anatomy> The membranous intervals between the angles of the cranial bones in the infant; they include the midline anterior fontanel and posterior fontanel, and the paired sphenoidal fontanel and mastoid fontanel. Synonym: fonticuli cranii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cranial fossa, posterior | The posterior subdivision of the floor of the cranial cavity, lodging the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata. It is formed by portions of the sphenoid, temporal, parietal, and occipital bones. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cranial index | The ratio of the maximal breadth to the maximal length of the skull, obtained by the formula: (breadth × 100)/length. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cranial irradiation | The exposure of the head to roentgen rays or other forms of radioactivity for therapeutic or preventive purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cranial mononeuropathy III | (compression type) A disorder involving vision changes and eyelid drooping associated with a decreased functioning of cranial nerve III. Damage is usually caused by compression of the nerves from localised lesions or a swelling in the area of the nerve. Examples include cerebral aneurysms and tumours Symptoms include a drooping eyelid and double vision. (diabetic type) A disorder involving vision changes and eyelid drooping associated with a decreased functioning of cranial nerve III as a complication of diabetes. Symptoms include a drooping eyelid and double vision. Good control of blood sugars can reduce the incidence of this complication. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial mononeuropathy vi | A disorder involving vision changes that are associated with the decreased function of cranial nerve VI. Often this form of nerve damage is associated with diabetes, tumours of the VI nerve or increased intracranial pressure. Trauma and stroke may also damage the VI cranial nerve. Symptoms include double vision when looking to one side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial mononeuropathy vii | A disorder which involves drooping of the face and the decreased ability to move one side of the face. Causes include isolated damage to the facial nerve, HIV infection, sarcoidosis and Lyme disease. Bell's palsy is a dysfunction of the facial nerve for reason unknown. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial nerve I | <anatomy, nerve> The olfactory nerve carries impulses for the sense of smell. Synonym: cranial nerve I. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial nerve II | <anatomy, nerve> The optic nerve. The nerve carrying impulses for the sense of sight. Projection from the vertebrate retina to the midbrain. Embryologically, a CNS tract rather than a peripheral nerve. Popular experimental preparation for studies of regeneration of retino tectal projections in lower vertebrates and also for studies of glial cell lineage in CNS. Synonym: cranial nerve II. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cranial nerve III | <anatomy, nerve> The occulomotor nerve is responsible for motor enervation of upper eyelid muscle, extraocular muscle and pupillary muscle. Lesions of the oculomotor nerve results in ptosis (dropping eyelid), deviation of the eyeball outward, double vision and a dilated pupil. Synonym: cranial nerve III. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial nerve IV | <anatomy, nerve> The trochlear nerve controls an extraocular muscle. Lesions of this nerve will result in rotation of the eyeball upward and outward (and double vision). Synonym: cranial nerve IV. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial nerve IX | <anatomy, nerve> The glossopharyngeal nerve enervates muscles involved in swallowing and taste. Lesions of the ninth nerve result in difficulty swallowing and disturbance of taste. Synonym: cranial nerve IX. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cranial nerve neoplasms | Neoplasms of any of the cranial nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cranial nerves | <anatomy> There are 12 cranial nerves. The olfactory nerve, optic nerve, occulomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, trigeminal nerve, abducent nerve, facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, vagus nerve, accessory nerve and the hypoglossal nerve. (18 Nov 1997) |
