| bile thrombus | An intracanalicular deposit of bile, usually a result of obstruction to bile drainage. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| white bile | Designating the relatively clear, almost colourless, clear viscid fluid that occurs in the gallbladder, intestines, or both as a result of obstruction of the bile ducts in various sites; actually the secretion of the mucous membrane, without the usual colour resulting from bile pigments. Synonym: leukobilin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Acidophil cell's that constitute about 35% of the cell's of the anterior lobe. There are two varieties: one that elaborates somatotropin, another that elaborates prolactin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior lobe of hypophysis | An alternate term for adenohypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| azygos lobe of lung | A small accessory lobe sometimes found on the apex of the right lung; separated from the rest of the upper lobe by a deep groove lodging the azygos vein. Synonym: lobus azygos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| azygos pseudo-lobe | <radiology> Not a true lobe, does not have separate broncus or vasculature, due to invagination of azygos vein into RUL, no clinical significance (12 Dec 1998) |
| basophil cell of anterior lobe of hypophysis | beta cell of anterior lobe of hypophysis |
| parietal lobe | Part of the brain and specifically a section of thecerebral hemisphere. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parietal lobe epilepsy | A localization-related epilepsy where seizures originate within the parietal lobe. Seizure semiology may involve abnormalities of sensation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal lobe of cerebrum | The middle portion of each cerebral hemisphere, separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus, from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus in front and an imaginary line projected posteriorly, and from the occipital lobe only partially by the parieto-occipital sulcus on its medial aspect. Synonym: lobus parietalis cerebri, parietal lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glandular lobe of hypophysis | It consists of the distal part, intermediate part, and infundibular part. See: hypophysis. Synonym: lobus anterior hypophyseos, anterior lobe of hypophysis, glandular lobe of hypophysis, lobus glandularis hypophyseos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal lobe | One of the subdivisions of the kidney, consisting of a renal pyramid and the cortical tissue associated with it. Synonym: lobus renalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Riedel's lobe | An occasional tongue-like process extending downward from the right lobe of the liver lateral to the gallbladder; a similar process may, though rarely, extend from the left lobe. Synonym: lobus appendicularis, lobus linguiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromophobe cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Cell's of the adenohypophysis that are devoid of specific acidophilic or basophilic granules when stained with common differential stains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lobe branch | Middle lobe branch of 1) the right pulmonary artery (arteriae pulmonalis dextrae ); 2) the right superior pulmonary vein (venae pulmonalis dextrae superior ). Synonym: ramus lobi medii. (05 Mar 2000) |
