| fibroblast growth factor receptor | Family of receptor tyrosine kinases for fibroblast growth factor. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| fibroblast growth factor receptor-like embryonic kinase | <enzyme> Found in avian embryonic tissue; involved in early differentiation of skeletal muscle. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: frek (26 Jun 1999) |
| pigmented hair epidermal nevus | A nevus first seen as an irregular pigmentation of the shoulders, upper chest, or scapular area, gradually enlarging irregularly and becoming thickened and hairy. Synonym: pigmented hair epidermal nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuro-epidermal | <anatomy> Pertaining to, or giving rise to, the central nervous system and epiderms; as, the neuroepidermal, or epiblastic, layer of the blastoderm. Origin: Neuro- + epidermal. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| toxic epidermal necrolysis | A syndrome in which a large portion of the skin becomes intensely erythematous with epidermal necrosis, and peels off in the manner of a second-degree burn, often simultaneous with the formation of flaccid bullae, resulting from drug sensitivity or of unknown cause; the level of separation is subepidermal, unlike staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in which there is subcorneal change. Synonym: Lyell's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidermal | Pertaining to or resembling epidermis. Also called epidermic or epidermoid. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal cell | 1. Cell of epidermis in animals. 2. Plant cell on the surface of a leaf or other young plant tissue, where bark is absent. The exposed surface is covered with a layer of cutin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epidermal cyst | Intradermal or subcutaneous saclike structure, the wall of which is stratified epithelium containing keratohyalin granules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermal necrolysis, toxic | An exfoliative disease of skin seen primarily in adults and characterised by flaccid bullae and spreading erythema so that the skin has the appearance of being scalded. It results primarily from a toxic reaction to various drugs, but occasionally occurs as a result of infection, neoplastic conditions, or other exposure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermal ridge count | An index of the frequency of sweat pores on the fingertips by enumeration along a set of arbitrarily defined lines; a classic example of a galtonian trait determined almost exclusively by genetic factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidermal ridges | Ridges of the epidermis of the palms and soles, where the sweat pores open. Synonym: cristae cutis, skin ridges. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linear epidermal nevus | A congenital systematised linear nevus limited to one side of the body or to portions of the extremities on one side; lesions are often extensive, forming wave-like bands on the trunk and spiraling streaks on the extremities. Synonym: linear epidermal nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human antihemophilic factor | A lyophilised concentrate of factor VIII, obtained from fresh normal human plasma; used as a haemostatic agent in haemophilia. Synonym: antihemophilic globulin, human antihemophilic fraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accretionary growth | Growth by an increase of intercellular material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appositional growth | Growth accomplished by the addition of new layers on those previously formed; e.g., the addition of lamellae in the formation of bone; it is the characteristic method of growth when rigid materials are involved. (05 Mar 2000) |
