| vesicular ovarian follicle | A follicle in which the oocyte attains its full size and is surrounded by an extracellular glycoprotein layer (zona pellucida) that separates it from a peripheral layer of follicular cells permeated by one or more fluid-filled antra; the theca of the follicle develops into internal and external layers. Synonym: folliculus ovaricus vesiculosus, graafian follicle, secondary follicle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vesicular resonance | The sound obtained on percussing over the normal lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular respiration | The respiratory murmur heard on auscultating over the normal lung. Synonym: respiratory murmur, vesicular murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular rickettsiosis | A mild infectious disease first observed in new york city, caused by rickettsia akari, transmitted from its mouse host by chigger or adult mite bites. There is fever, a dark spot that becomes a small ulcer at the site of the bite, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) in that region, and a raised blistery (vesicular) rash. Also known as rickettsialpox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vesicular stomatitis | A vesicular disease of horses, cattle, swine, and occasionally man caused by a vesiculovirus (vesicular stomatitis virus); in horses and cattle the disease usually causes mouth vesicles which, in cattle, cannot be differentiated clinically from those of foot-and-mouth disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicular stomatitis-indiana virus | The type species of vesiculovirus causing a disease symptomatically similar to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, horses, and pigs. It may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vesicular stomatitis virus | <virology> Rhabdovirus causing the disease soremouth in cattle. Widely used as a laboratory tool especially in studies on the spike glycoprotein as a model for the synthesis, post translational modification and export of membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vesicular venous plexus | A plexus of veins around the fundus and sides of the bladder. Synonym: plexus venosus vesicalis, venous plexus of bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rickettsiosis, vesicular | See Rickettsialpox. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease | <virology> An enterovirus infection of swine clinically indistinguishable from foot-and-mouth disease, vesicular stomatitis, and vesicular exanthema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| swine vesicular disease virus | <virology> A porcine enterovirus causing vesicular disease in swine. (05 Mar 2000) |
