| system, sympathetic nervous | A part of nervous system that accelerates the heart rate, constricts blood vessels, and raises blood pressure. The sympathetic nervous system together with the parasympathetic nervous system (that slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles) constitute the autonomic nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |

| internal carotid (nervous) plexus | An autonomic plexus surrounding the internal carotid artery in the carotid canal and cavernous sinus, and sending branches to the tympanic plexus, sphenopalatine ganglion, abducens and oculomotor nerves, the cerebral vessels, and the ciliary ganglion. Synonym: internal carotid venous plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| involuntary nervous system | <anatomy> Neurons that are not under conscious control, comprising two antagonistic components, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system regulates key functions including the activity of the cardiac (heart) muscle, smooth muscles (e.g., of the gut), and glands. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: 1. The sympathetic nervous system that accelerates the heart rate, constricts blood vessels, and raises blood pressure. 2. The parasympathetic nervous system slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles. (03 Jul 1999) |
| enteric nervous system | Two ganglionated neural plexuses in the gut wall which form one of the three major divisions of the autonomic nervous system. The enteric nervous system innervates the gastrointestinal tract, the pancreas, and the gallbladder. It contains sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Thus the circuitry can autonomously sense the tension and the chemical environment in the gut and regulate blood vessel tone, motility, secretions, and fluid transport. The system is itself governed by the central nervous system and receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mastectomy, simple | Removal of only the breast tissue and nipple and a small portion of the overlying skin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| microscope, simple | <microscopy> A microscope that has a single converging lens (or a combination of lenses that function optically as a single converging lens). Anton van leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) made good use of the simple microscope to look at the life within a drop of water, and such. The magnifying properties of lenses had been well known in ancient times (for example to the greeks and romans) but it was not until about 1600 that it became possible to make small lenses with the precision needed to make a microscope.

| simple | Undivided, of a leaf, not divided into leaflets, of a hair or an inflorescence, not branched. (09 Oct 1997) |
| simple absence | A brief clouding of consciousness accompanied by the abrupt onset of 3/sec spikes and waves on EEG. Synonym: pure absence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple anchorage | Anchorage in which the resistance to the movement of one or more teeth comes solely from resistance to tipping movement of the anchorage unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple anisocoria | A common (20% of normals) benign inequality of the pupils that may change from one hour to the next. Synonym: essential anisocoria, physiologic anisocoria, simple-central anisocoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple beam | In dentistry, a straight beam that has only two supports, one at either end. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple bone cyst | <radiology> Unicameral or solitary bone cyst, lytic, unilocular, central, meta-diaphyseal, humerus (most common site), age 0 - 10 yrs Differential diagnosis: bubbly bone lesions (12 Dec 1998) |
| simple-central anisocoria | A common (20% of normals) benign inequality of the pupils that may change from one hour to the next. Synonym: essential anisocoria, physiologic anisocoria, simple-central anisocoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple closure | A single layer closure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| simple colour | The three colour's of the retinal cone pigments (red, green, blue) that may be combined to match any hue. Synonym: simple colour. (05 Mar 2000) |
