| sinoatrial chamber | <anatomy> The common chamber formed by the single embryonic atrium and the right and left horns of the sinus venosus. (20 Jun 2000) |

| sinuatrial chamber | <anatomy> The common chamber formed by the single embryonic atrium and the right and left horns of the sinus venosus. (20 Jun 2000) |
| specimen chamber | <microscopy> The compartment located in the column of the electron microscope in which the specimen is placed for observation. (05 Aug 1998) |
| decompression chamber | <apparatus> A steel chamber that is used to apply oxygen under pressure to reverse the effects of the bends or to treat other forms of barotrauma. Synonym: hyperbaric chamber. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ionization chamber | A chamber for detecting ionization of the enclosed gas; used for determining intensity of ionizing radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orientation chamber | <cell culture> Chamber designed by Zigmond in which to test the ability of cells (neutrophils) to orient in a gradient of chemoattractant. The chamber is similar to a haemocytometer, but with a depth of only ca. 20m. The gradient is set up by diffusion from one well to the other and the orientation of cells towards the well containing chemoattractant is scored on the basis of their morphology or by filming their movement. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endothelium of anterior chamber | A single layer of large, squamous cells that covers the posterior surface of the cornea. Synonym: endothelium camerae anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Zappert counting chamber | A special, standardised glass slide used for counting cells (especially erythrocytes and leukocytes) and other particulate material in a measured volume of fluid; the central portion is precisely ground in such a manner that the uniformly flat surface is exactly 0.1 mm lower than that of two parallel ridges on which a special, uniformly flat coverslip may be placed; accurately etched lines on the flat central portion form the boundaries of groups of squares of known areas, thereby providing the basis for determining the volume of fluid in which the cells are counted. Glass slides of this type are frequently known as haemocytometers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Zigmond chamber | <cell culture> Chamber designed by Zigmond in which to test the ability of cells (neutrophils) to orient in a gradient of chemoattractant. The chamber is similar to a haemocytometer, but with a depth of only ca. 20m. The gradient is set up by diffusion from one well to the other and the orientation of cells towards the well containing chemoattractant is scored on the basis of their morphology or by filming their movement. (18 Nov 1997) |
| apical | <anatomy> Relating to or located at the tip (an apex). (09 Oct 1997) |
| apical abscess | <dentistry> A dental abscess that occurs at the end of a root, caused by tooth decay which invades the pulp chamber of the tooth. Involvement of the pulp chamber can lead to destruction of the nerve and blood vessels which supply the tooth. These infections must be treated by root canal therapy (endodontics) or tooth extraction. (27 Sep 1997) |
| apical angle | The angle between two plane surfaces of a prism. Synonym: refracting angle of a prism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical-aortic conduit | A valved conduit between the LV apex and aorta, used to treat severe otherwise unapproachable LV outflow tract obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical area | The area about the root end of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical branch | The apical branch of the following: 1) superior lobar branches of left and right pulmonary arteries; 2) left superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: ramus superior. Synonym: ramus apicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
