pressure necrosis
| focal necrosis | Occurrence of numerous, relatively small or tiny, fairly well-circumscribed, usually spheroidal portions of tissue that manifest coagulative, caseous, or gummatous necrosis and are characteristically associated with agents that are haematogenously disseminated; frequently observed only in histologic sections, but the foci may be as large as 1 to 3 mm and macroscopically visible; arbitrarily, foci larger than that are usually not termed focal necrosis.

| laminar cortical necrosis | The breaking down of a definite cell layer in the cerebral cortex, encountered typically after temporary cardiac arrest or perinatal hypoxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liquefactive necrosis | A type of necrosis characterised by a fairly well-circumscribed, microscopically or macroscopically visible lesion that consists of the dull, opaque or turbid, gray-white to yellow-gray, soft or boggy, partly or completely fluid remains of tissue that became necrotic and was digested by enzymes, especially proteolytic enzymes liberated from disintegrating leukocytes; it is classically observed in abscesses, and frequently in infarcts of the brain.

| adrenal cortex | <anatomy, endocrinology> This is the outer portion of the fattyacids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. Mineralocortoids regulate the levels of minerals such as sodium and potassium in the blood. (06 May 1997) |
| adrenal cortex injection | An obsolete treatment involving the parenteral administration of extract of the adrenal cortex; formerly used in treatment of Addison's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| agranular cortex | See: cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amorphous fraction of adrenal cortex | Noncrystalline residue of an acetone extract of the adrenal cortex after crystalline steroids, e.g., corticosterone, deoxycorticosterone, etc., have been isolated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| association cortex | Generic term denoting the large expanses of the cerebral cortex that are not sensory or motor in the customary sense, but are involved in advanced stages of sensory information processing, multisensory integration, or sensorimotor integration. See: cerebral cortex. Synonym: association areas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auditory cortex | Area of the temporal lobe concerned with hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebral cortex | Layer 5 of the cortex cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parastriate cortex | See: visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visual cortex | Area of the occipital lobe concerned with vision. (12 Dec 1998) |
| renal cortex | The part of the kidney consisting of renal lobules in the outer zone beneath the capsule and also the lobules of the renal columns that are extensions inward between the pyramids; contains the renal corpuscles and the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Synonym: cortex renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cortex | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
