| laryngeal mucosa | The mucous lining of the larynx; mainly stratified squamous epithelium in the upper part and ciliated columnar in the lower part of the larynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lingual mucosa | Mucous membrane of the tongue, the mucosa of the dorsum of the tongue appears velvety due to the presence of vast numbers of papillae; that of the inferior surface is smooth and thinner. Synonym: tunica mucosa linguae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue | Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire malt tissue as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenocarcinoma, bronchiolo-alveolar | A carcinoma thought to be derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli. Involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular. The neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures. Mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells. Metastases in regional lymph nodes, and in even more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar | <anatomy> Of, pertaining to, or resembling, alveoli or little cells, sacs, or sockets. Alveolar processes, the processes of the maxillary bones, containing the sockets of the teeth. Origin: L. Alveolus a small hollow or cavity: cf. F. Alveolaire. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| alveolar abscess | A pocket of pus adjacent to or within (apical abscess) the tooth's root caused by plaque and calculus invasion. Symptoms include tooth pain and tenderness that may be accompanied by facial swelling and a fever. Treatment includes antibiotics and a thorough cleansing of the infected site by a dentist. See: apical abscess. (27 Sep 1997) |
| alveolar adenocarcinoma | <tumour> Adenocarcinoma of the lung in which tumour cells form structures resembling alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar air | The gas in the pulmonary alveoli, where O2-CO2 exchange with pulmonary capillary blood occurs. Synonym: alveolar air. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar angle | The angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting the base of the nasal spine and the middle point of the projection of the alveolus of the maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar arch of mandible | The free margin of the alveolar process of the mandible. Synonym: arcus alveolaris mandibulae, limbus alveolaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar arch of maxilla | The free border of the alveolar process of the maxilla. Synonym: arcus alveolaris maxillae, limbus alveolaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar-arterial oxygen difference | The difference or gradient between the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolar spaces and the arterial blood: P(A-a)02. Normally in young adults this value is less than 20 mm Hg. See: alveolar gas equation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar atrophy | Diminution in size of the supportive tissues of the teeth due to lack of function, reduced blood supply, or unknown causes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar body | That portion of bone in either the maxilla or the mandible which surrounds and supports the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar bone | That portion of bone in either the maxilla or the mandible which surrounds and supports the teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
