| myeloblastoma | <haematology, oncology> A type of leukaemia that develops from bone marrow cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| myeloblastosis | The presence of unusually large numbers of myeloblasts in the circulating blood, or tissues, or both (as in acute leukaemia). (05 Mar 2000) |
| myeloblastosis virus, avian | A species of avian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, avian) causing anaemia in fowl. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myelocele | 1. Protrusion of the spinal cord in spina bifida. Origin: myelo-+ G. Kele, hernia 2. The central canal of the spinal cord. Origin: G. Myelos, marrow, + koilia, a hollow (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocoele | <anatomy> The central canal of the spinal cord. Origin: Gr. Marrow + hollow. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| myelocyst | Any cyst (usually lined with columnar or cuboidal cells) that develops from a rudimentary medullary canal in the central nervous system. Origin: myelo-+ G. Kystis, bladder (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocystic | Pertaining to or characterised by the presence of a myelocyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocystocele | Spina bifida containing spinal cord substance. Origin: myelo-+ G. Kystis, bladder, + kele, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocystomeningocele | <embryology> A congenital defect that is characterised by the protrusion of the membranes and cord through a defect in the vertebral column. (27 Sep 1997) |
| myelocyte | A motile cell produced by and found in the bone marrow which develops intogranular leukocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| myelocyte A | The youngest form of myelocyte, characterised by only a few (not more than ten) cytoplasmic granules, which are most reliably demonstrated by means of staining with neutral red; the mitochondria are numerous, and resemble those of the myeloblast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocyte B | The intermediate form of myelocyte, characterised by approximately 30 to 100 (or more) cytoplasmic granules scattered among the mitochondria; the latter are less numerous than in myelocyte's of the A stage, and they are frequently displaced toward the periphery of the cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocyte C | The most mature of the myelocyte's characterised by numerous cytoplasmic granules that are recognizable as neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic; with neutral red these are stained, respectively, red, bright yellow, and deep maroon; C myelocyte's are frequently larger than earlier forms; if the nucleus is indented, the myelocyte is maturing into a metamyelocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myelocythemia | The presence of myelocytes in the circulating blood, especially in persistently large numbers (as in myelocytic leukaemia). Origin: myelocyte + G. Haima, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
