| chemical sympathectomy | Destruction of the periareterial sympathetic nerves, as in Doppler's operation, by a corrosive such as phenol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemical synapse | <physiology> A nerve nerve or nerve muscle junction where the signal is transmitted by release from one membrane of a chemical transmitter that binds to a receptor in the second membrane. Importantly, signals only pass in one direction. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chemical synergism | Interaction of chemicals in a mixture to produce a greater toxic effect than would be expected from the sum of the toxicities of the individual chemicals. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chemical taxonomy | An approach to the classification of organisms based on the distribution of natural products. (05 Mar 2000) |

| multiple chemical sensitivity | An acquired disorder characterised by recurrent symptoms, referable to multiple organ systems, occurring in response to demonstrable exposure to many chemically unrelated compounds at doses far below those established in the general population to cause harmful effects. No single widely accepted test of physiologic function can be shown to correlate with symptoms. (cullen mr. The worker with multiple chemical sensitivities: an overview. Occup med 1987;2(4):655-61) (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypophysectomy, chemical | Total or subtotal destruction of the pituitary gland by chemical injection. It is usually achieved by injection of ethyl alcohol via trans-sphenoidal cannulation under stereotaxic control. It is usually performed for the treatment of intractable pain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| defoliants, chemical | Herbicides that remove leaves from trees and growing plants. They may be either organic or inorganic. Several of the more persistent types have been used in military operations and many are toxic. (12 Dec 1998) |
