| pulmonary alveolar proteinosis | <radiology> Overproduction of surfactant which can lead to alveolar (end-air-space) filling, peak age: 20 - 50 yrs, 33% asymptomatic, treatment: lavage Findings: bat-wing alveolar infiltrate, no interstitial disease, no adenopathy (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| squamous alveolar cells | Highly attentuated squamous cell's that form the gas-permeable epithelium lining the alveoli of the lungs. Synonym: type I cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior alveolar nerves | Three branches (posterior, middle, and anterior) of the maxillary nerve (or its continuation as the infraorbital nerve) that enter the maxilla to supply the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, upper teeth and gingiva. Synonym: nervi alveolares superiores, superior dental nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ideal alveolar gas | The uniform composition of gas that would exist in all alveoli for a given total respiratory exchange if all alveoli had identical ventilation-perfusion ratios and achieved perfect equilibrium with the blood leaving the pulmonary capillaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, 1st part of maxillary artery; distribution, through mandibular foramen/canal to lower teeth and chin; branches, artery to mylohyoid, mental artery, dental arteries. Synonym: arteria alveolaris inferior, inferior dental artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior alveolar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the mandibular, it enters the mandibular canal to be distributed to the lower teeth, periosteum, and gingiva of the mandible; a branch, the mental nerve, passes through the mental foramen to supply the skin and mucosa of the lower lip and chin. Synonym: nervus alveolaris inferior, inferior dental nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intra-alveolar septa | The bony partitions that project into the alveoli between the roots of the molar teeth. Synonym: septa interradicularia, intra-alveolar septa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral alveolar abscess | An alveolar abscess located along the lateral root surface of a tooth. Synonym: pericemental abscess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower alveolar point | In craniometrics, the apex of the septum between the mandibular central incisors. Synonym: lower alveolar point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ABC process | Purification of water or deodorization of sewage by a mixture of alum, blood, and charcoal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory process | A small apophysis at the posterior part of the base of the transverse process of each of the lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: processus accessorius, accessory tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial process | <anatomy> The lateral triangular projection of the spine of the scapula that forms the point of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle. (27 Sep 1997) |
| activated sludge process | <procedure> A method of treating sewage and wastewater through microbial oxidation. Sewage previously treated in settling tanks is aerated to encourage the growth of nonpathogenic aerobic microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, moulds and protozoans) which break the organic matter down into carbon dioxide, water and simple salts. After this activated sludge is produced, the wastewater undergoes further processing through anaerobic digestion, filtering and chlorination. (29 Dec 1997) |
| adiabatic process | <chemistry> A process in which the system does not exchange heat with the surroundings. (15 Jan 1998) |
| agene process | Bleaching of flour with nitrogen trichloride (prohibited in the United States). (05 Mar 2000) |
