| 영문 | stem cell | 한글 | 줄기세포, 간세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| somatic mitosis | The ordinary process of mitosis as it occurs in the somatic or body cells, characterised by the formation of the prescribed number of chromosomes, appropriate for the species (in humans the number is 46). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| somatic motor neuron | See: motor neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic motor nuclei | Collective term indicating the motor nuclei innervating the tongue musculature (hypoglossal nucleus) and the extraocular eye muscles (abducens nucleu, trochlear nucleus, and oculomotor nucleus). (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic mutation | Mutation that occurs in the somatic tissues of an organism and that will not, therefore, be heritable, since it is not present in the germ line. Some neoplasia is due to somatic mutation, a more conspicuous example is the reversion of some branches of variegated shrubs to the wild type (completely green) phenotype. Somatic mutation is probably also important in generating diversity in V gene regions of immunoglobulins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic mutation theory of cancer | That cancer is caused by a mutation or mutations in the body cells (as opposed to germ cells), especially nonlethal mutations associated with increased proliferation of the mutant cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the nerve's of parietal sensation or voluntary motion, as distinguished from the visceral sensory, involuntary motor and secretory nerve's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic nucleus | The larger nucleus (or sometimes nuclei) in ciliate protozoans. Derived from the micronucleus by a process of DNA polytenisation. The DNA in the macronucleus is actively transcribed. The macronucleus degenerates before conjugation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic recombination | One of the mechanisms used to generate diversity in antibody production is to rearrange the DNA in B-cells during their differentiation, a process that involves cutting and splicing the immunoglobulin genes. Somatic recombination via homologous crossing over occurs at a low frequency in Aspergillus, Drosphilia and Saccharomyces and in mammalian cells in culture. It may be detected through the production of homozygous patches or sectors after mitosis of cells heterozygous for suitable marker genes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| somatic reproduction | Asexual reproduction by fission or budding of somatic cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic sensory cortex | Somatosensory cortex, the region of the cerebral cortex receiving the somatic sensory radiation from the ventrobasal nucleus of the thalamus; it represents the primary cortical processing mechanism for sensory information originating at the body surfaces (touch) and in deeper tissues such as muscle, tendons, and joint capsules (position sense); it corresponds approximately to Brodmann's areas 1, 2, 3 on the postcentral gyrus. Synonym: somesthetic area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic swallow | A swallowing pattern with muscular contractions which appear to be under control of the person at a subconscious level; distinguished from visceral swallow. Visceral swallow, the immature swallowing pattern of an infant or a person with tongue thrust, resembling peristaltic wavelike muscular contractions observed in the gut; adult or mature swallowing is more volitional and therefore somatic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| special somatic afferent column | A column of gray matter in the hindbrain of the embryo, represented in the adult by the nuclei of the auditory and vestibular nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic | <biology> Pertaining to reproduction or to birth or origin. (07 May 1998) |
| genetic amplification | A process for producing an increase in pertinent genetic material, particularly for increasing the proportion of plasmid DNA to that of bacterial DNA. Includes the production of extrachromosomal copies of the genes for RNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic assimilation | <genetics> A situation in which a characteristic that is normally expressed only in certain environmental situations becomes fixed in a population so that it no longer requires environmental factors to be expressed. (07 May 1998) |
