| wall-plat | <zoology> The spotted flycatcher. It builds its nest on walls. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| compliance of bladder | Relationship of volume to pressure; can be calculated from a cytometrogram's pressure volume curve. Synonym: compliance of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucosa of urinary bladder | The inner coat of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica mucosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular coat of urinary bladder | Muscular layer of the wall of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica muscularis vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumonia with chest-wall involvement | <radiology> Actinomyces israelii, Nocardia asteroides (12 Dec 1998) |
| poorly compliant bladder | A bladder that has high pressure at low volumes in the absence of detrusor activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary cell wall | <plant biology> A plant cell wall that is still able to expand, permitting cell growth. Growth is normally prevented when a secondary wall has formed. Primary cell walls contain more pectin than secondary walls and no lignin is present until a secondary wall has formed on top of them. (06 Mar 1998) |
| helicoidal cell wall | Type of plant cell wall in which each wall layer contains parallel microfibrils, but in which the orientation of the microfibrils changes by a fixed angle from one layer to the next. Gives a characteristic herringbone pattern in transmission electron microscopy. A similar architecture of fibrillar material is seen in some insect exoskeletons. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pseudoneurogenic bladder | <urology> Detrusor-sphincter incoordination with urinary incontinence, constipation, urinary tract infection, upper tract changes. Synonym: Hinman syndrome, pseudoneurogenic bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary wall | <plant biology> The part of the plant cell wall which is laid down on top of the primary wall after the wall has ceased to increase in surface area. Only occurs in certain cell types, for example tracheids, vessel elements and sclerenchyma. Differs from the primary wall both in composition and structure and is often diagnostic for a particular cell type. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hollow wall | A condition of the hoof wall in the toe region of horses, characterised by loss of substance and change in character of the horn, most often as a sequela of mild chronic laminitis. Synonym: dystrophia ungulae, hollow wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulpal wall | One of the wall's of the pulp cavity, the wall of a cavity preparation adjacent to the pulp space; e.g., mesial pulpal wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serosa of urinary bladder | Serous coat of the urinary bladder; the visceral peritoneum covering the roof and lateral walls of the urinary bladder. Synonym: tunica serosa vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hutch bladder diverticulum | <radiology> Bladder tic near uretero-vesical junction, weakens detrusor muscle, may lead to VU reflux (12 Dec 1998) |
