| PUV | posterior urethral valve |
| parathyroid gland | <anatomy, endocrinology> Four small endocrine glands lying close or embedded in the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. They secrete the hormone parathormone. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| marrow-lymph gland | A type of haemal node, resembling the bone marrow in structure and probable function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesical gland | One of a number of mucous follicles, not true gland's, in the mucous membrane near the neck of the bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| master gland | pituitary gland |
| giant cell carcinoma of thyroid gland | A rapidly progressive undifferentiated carcinoma observed in the thyroid gland, characterised by numerous, unusually large, anaplastic cells derived from glandular epithelium of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parotid gland | <anatomy> A salivary gland situated in front of and below the ear. (27 Sep 1997) |
| parotid gland mass | <radiology> Pleomorphic adenoma, sialocele, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, lymph node, abscess, metastasis (12 Dec 1998) |
| maxillary gland | The second largest of the three major salivary glands. It is located deep to the mandible (jaw bone). (12 Dec 1998) |
| gland | <anatomy> Organ specialised for secretion by the infolding of an epithelial sheet. The secretory epithelial cells may either be arranged as an acinus with a duct or as a tubule. Glands from which release occurs to a free epithelial surface are exocrine, those that release product to the circulatory system are endocrine glands. (17 Dec 1997) |
| Gley's gland | <anatomy, endocrinology> Four small endocrine glands lying close or embedded in the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. They secrete the hormone parathormone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medial border of suprarenal gland | The paravertebral edge of the suprarenal gland. Synonym: margo medialis glandulae suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal surface of suprarenal gland | Surface of suprarenal gland in contact with the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal surface of the suprarenal gland | The surface of the suprarenal gland in contact with the kidney. Synonym: renal surface of the suprarenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla of adrenal gland | It is composed principally of anastomosing cords of cells in the core of the gland; the cells display a chromaffin reaction because of the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine in their granules. Synonym: medulla glandulae suprarenalis, medulla of adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central vein of suprarenal gland | The single draining vein of the gland; it receives a number of medullary veins; on the right side it empties directly into the inferior vena cava and on the left into the left renal vein. Synonym: vena centralis glandulae suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
