| intracavitary | Within an organ or body cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| intracelial | Within any of the body cavities, especially within one of the ventricles of the brain. Origin: intra-+ G. Koilia, cavity (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracellular | <anatomy> Being or occurring within a body cell or within the body cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| intracellular canaliculus | <cell biology> A fine canal formed by invagination of the cell membrane into the cytoplasm of a cell, such as those of the parietal cells of the stomach. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracellular digestion | <cell biology> Digestion within the boundaries of a cell, such as occurs in the protozoa and in phagocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracellular enzyme | <enzyme> An enzyme that performs its functions within the cell that produces it; most enzyme's are intracellular enzyme's. Synonym: endoenzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracellular fluid | The fluid within the tissue cells, constituting about 30 to 40% of the body weight. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracellular membranes | Membranes of subcellular structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intracellular toxin | <protein> Heat stable polysaccharide like toxin bound to a bacterial cell. The term is used more specifically to refer to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. There are three parts to the molecule, the Lipid A (six fatty acid chains linked to two glucosamine residues), the core oligosaccharide (branched chain of ten sugars) and a variable length polysaccharide side chain (up to 40 sugar units in smooth forms) that can be removed without affecting the toxicity (rough LPS). Some endotoxin is probably released into the medium and endotoxin is responsible for many of the virulent effects of gram-negative bacteria. (18 Nov 1997) |
| intracerebellar | Within the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracerebral | <anatomy> Located within the cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum). See: extracerebral. (16 Dec 1997) |
| intracerebral bleed | <neurology> A haemorrhage within brain tissue. most often from small arterioles within the brain and can be secondary to uncontrolled hypertension or congenital arterial aneurysm. (10 Jan 1998) |
| intracerebral haemorrhage | <neurology> A haemorrhage within brain tissue. most often from small arterioles within the brain and can be secondary to uncontrolled hypertension or congenital arterial aneurysm. (10 Jan 1998) |
| intracerebroventricular | The locus of administration of drugs or chemicals into the ventricular system of the brain. Often used in animal studies and occasionally for the introduction of anti-infectives that do not penetrate the blood-brain barrier into the brain in humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracervical | 1. Within any cervix, specifically within the cervix uteri. Synonym: intracervical. 2. Relating to the endocervix. (05 Mar 2000) |
