| Babes-Ernst bodies | Intracellular granules, present in many species of bacteria, which possess a strong affinity for nuclear stains. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bigeminal bodies | A bilateral single swelling of the roofplate of the embryonic midbrain that later in development becomes subdivided into a superior and an inferior colliculus. See: quadrigeminal bodies. Synonym: corpora bigemina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| black root | <botany> Dried rhizome and roots of Veronicastrum virginicum (family Serophulariaceae). Indigenous to North America. Formerly used as a cathartic. Synonym: black root, Culver's root. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bollinger bodies | Relatively large, spheroid or ovoid, usually somewhat granular, acidophilic, intracytoplasmic inclusion body's observed in the infected tissues of birds with fowlpox; when body's are ruptured large numbers of fowlpox virus particles are released. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Borrel bodies | Particles of fowlpox virus; aggregates of Borrel body's in infected cells result in the formation of Bollinger body's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cabot's ring bodies | Ring-shaped or figure-of-eight structures that stain red with Wright's stain, found in red blood cells in severe anaemias, possibly a remnant of the nuclear membrane; a form of basophilic degenerative process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Call-Exner bodies | Small fluid-filled spaces between granulosal cells in ovarian follicles and in ovarian tumours of granulosal origin; they may form a rosette-like structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer bodies | Discrete, acidophilic or amphophilic, hyaline body's of various shapes and sizes, occurring in the cytoplasm of some of the neoplastic cells and also extracellularly in the stroma of various carcinomas and sarcomas; formerly regarded by some observers as parasitic causal agents, but now thought to be products of cell necrosis (apoptosis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaccine bodies | Old term pertaining to intracellular body's that were erroneously thought to be forms in the life cycle of a protozoan organism, Cytorrhyctes vaccinae, postulated to be the causal agent of vaccinia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pacchionian bodies | Tufted prolongations of pia-arachnoid, composed of numerous arachnoid villi that penetrate dural venous sinuses and effect transfer of cerebrospinal fluid to the venous system. at advanced age these are more numerous and tend to calcify. Synonym: granulationes arachnoideales, arachnoidal granulations, pacchionian bodies, pacchionian corpuscles, pacchionian glands, pacchionian granulations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gamna-Favre bodies | Characteristic, relatively large, intracytoplasmic basophilic inclusion body's observed in endothelial cells in lymphogranuloma venereum; probably composed of degenerated nuclear material. See: Miyagawa bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gamna-Gandy bodies | Small firm spheroidal or irregular foci that are yellow-brown, brown, or rustlike in colour, occurring chiefly in the spleen in such conditions as congestive splenomegaly and sickle cell disease, and consisting of relatively dense fibrous tissue or collagenous fibres impregnated with iron pigment and calcium salts; probably result from organization and scarring of sites where small perivascular haemorrhages occurred. Synonym: Gamna-Gandy nodules, Gandy-Gamna bodies, siderotic nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vandal root | <botany> Any plant of the genus Valeriana. The root of the officinal valerian (V. Officinalis) has a strong smell, and is much used in medicine as an antispasmodic. <botany> Greek valerian, a plant (Polemonium caeruleum) with blue or white flowers, and leaves resembling those of the officinal valerian. Origin: LL. Valeriana, perhaps from some person named Valerius, or fr. L. Valere to be strong. Powerful, on account of its medicinal virtues: cf. F. Valeriane.

Synonym: Gamna-Gandy nodules, Gandy-Gamna bodies, siderotic nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root.
