| conjugate of pelvic outlet | The distance from the tip of the coccyx to the lower edge of the pubic symphysis. See: obstetric conjugate of pelvic outlet. Synonym: conjugate diameter of pelvic outlet. (05 Mar 2000) |

| conjugate planes/points | <microscopy> Planes (or points) that are in focus relative to each other. In a microscope adjusted for Koehler illumination, there are two sets of conjugate planes: the aperture planes and the field planes. See: field planes, Koehler illumination (05 Aug 1998) |
| conjugate point | A point so related to another that an object at one is imaged at the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| points, conjugate | <microscopy> The pair of points on the principal axis of a mirror or lens so located that light emitted from either point will be focused at the other. Related points in the object and image are located optically so that one is the image of the other. See: polarizing element (05 Aug 1998) |
| cysteine conjugate S-oxidase | <enzyme> Converts s-benzyl-l-cysteine to s-benzyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide; uses o2 and NADPH; may be a flavin-containing monooxygenase Registry number: EC 1.13.12- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine conjugate transaminase | <enzyme> Generates thiopyruvates by deamination of cysteine conjugates leaving the r-s-c bond intact Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- Synonym: cysteine-conjugate alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses n-acetylation of l-cysteine thioesters to form mercapturic acids; important in drug detoxication Registry number: EC 2.3.1.80 Synonym: cscn acetyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| self-conjugate | <geometry> Having the two things that are conjugate parts of the same figure; as, self-conjugate triangles. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| diagonal conjugate | The anteroposterior dimension of the inlet that measures the clinical distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the lower margin of the symphysis pubica. Synonym: conjugata diagonalis, diagonal conjugate diameter, false conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal conjugate | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| effective conjugate | The internal conjugate measured from the nearest lumbar vertebra to the symphysis, in spondylolisthesis. Synonym: false conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true conjugate | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external conjugate | The distance in a straight line between the depression under the last spinous process of the lumbar vertebrae and the upper edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: Baudelocque's diameter, external conjugate diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| false conjugate | The anteroposterior dimension of the inlet that measures the clinical distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the lower margin of the symphysis pubica. Synonym: conjugata diagonalis, diagonal conjugate diameter, false conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| folic acid conjugate | A folate with three molecules of glutamic acid (pteropterin) instead of one, or with seven (pteroylheptaglutamic acid or vitamin Bc conjugate). (05 Mar 2000) |
