| myoepithelial cell | <pathology> Cell found between epithelium of exocrine glands (e.g. Salivary, sweat, mammary, mucous) and their basement membranes, which resembles a smooth muscle cell and is thought to be contractile. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| myoepithelioma | A benign tumour composed predominantly of myoepithelial cells. A pure myoepithelial neoplasm is rare. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myoepithelium | Spindle-shaped, contractile, smooth muscle-like cells of epithelial origin that are arranged longitudinally or obliquely around sweat glands and the secretory alveoli of the mammary gland; stellate myoepithelial cells occur around lacrimal and some salivary gland secretory units. Synonym: muscle epithelium. Origin: myo-+ epithelium (05 Mar 2000) |
| myoesthesis | The sensation felt in muscle when it is contracting; awareness of movement or activity in muscles or joints; sense of position or movement mediated in large part by the posterior columns and medial lemniscus. See: bathyesthesia. Synonym: deep sensibility, kinesthetic sense, mesoblastic sensibility, muscular sense, myoesthesis, myoesthesia. Origin: G. Mys, muscle, + aisthesis, sensation (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofacial pain-dysfunction syndrome | <syndrome> Dysfunction of the masticatory apparatus related to spasm of the muscles of mastication precipitated by occlusal dysharmony or alteration in vertical dimension of the jaws, and exacerbated by emotional stress; characterised by pain in the preauricular region, muscle tenderness, popping noise in the temporomandibular joint, and limitation of jaw motion. Synonym: temporomandibular joint pain-dysfunction syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofascial | Of or relating to the fascia surrounding and separating muscle tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofascial pain | <symptom> A large group of muscle disorders characterised by the presence of hypersensitive points, called trigger points, within one or more muscles and/or the investing connective tissue together with a syndrome of pain, muscle spasm, tenderness, stiffness, limitation of motion, weakness and occasionally autonomic dysfunction. (16 Dec 1997) |
| myofascial pain syndromes | Muscular pain in numerous body regions that can be reproduced by pressure on trigger points, localised hardenings in skeletal muscle tissue. Pain is referred to a location distant from the trigger points. A prime example is the temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myofascial syndrome | <syndrome> Irritation of the muscles and fascia of the back and neck causing acute and chronic pain not associated with any neurological or bony evidence of disease; presumed to arise primarily from poorly understood changes in the muscle and fascia themselves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofascitis | <pathology> An inflammation of the thin layer of fibrous tissue (fascia) that surrounds a muscle and attaches it to the bone. (09 Oct 1997) |
| myofibril | <cell biology> Long cylindrical organelle of striated muscle, composed of regular arrays of thick and thin filaments and constituting the contractile apparatus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myofibrilla | <cell biology> Long cylindrical organelle of striated muscle, composed of regular arrays of thick and thin filaments and constituting the contractile apparatus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| myofibrillar | Pertaining or relating to myofibril. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myofibrils | Slender threads which can be rendered visible in a muscle fibre by maceration in certain acids. They run parallel with the long axis of the fibre, and are composed of numerous myofilaments ( = microfilaments). (12 Dec 1998) |
| myofibroblast | <cell biology> Histological term for fibroblast like cells that contain substantial arrays of actin microfilaments, myosin and other muscle proteins arranged in such a way as to suggest that they produce contractile forces. Are commonly described as occurring in granulation tissue (formed during wound healing) and in certain forms of arterial thickening where they are found in the intima. Behave in much the same way as smooth muscle cells and have markers characteristic of these cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
