| Geiger-Muller tube | <instrument> An instrument for measuring radioactivity by counting the emission of radioactive particles. It consists of a metallic cylinder, negatively charged, in a tube containing a fine, positively charged wire at its centre; radiations produce ionization of the gas molecules between the cylinder and the wire and result in an electrical discharge independent of the energy of the impinging particle or ray.

| geissler tube | <physics> A glass tube provided with platinum electrodes, and containing some gas under very low tension, which becomes luminous when an electrical discharge is passed through it; so called from the name of a noted maker in germany. It is called also Plucker tube, from the German physicist who devised it. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

Synonym: cartilago tubae auditivae, cartilage of pharyngotympanic tube, tubal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilaginous part of auditory tube | That portion of the auditory tube that is supported by cartilage; it continues anteromedially from the osseous part to open into the nasopharynx. Synonym: pars cartilaginea tubae auditivae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular appendices of uterine tube | A small fluid-filled cyst attached by a slender stalk to the fimbriated end of the uterine tube; a vestigial remnant of the embryonic mesonephric duct.
