| tubouterine pregnancy | Development of the fertilised ovum in the uterine portion of the fallopian tube. Synonym: interstitial pregnancy, tubouterine pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| twin pregnancy | A pregnancy that may result from the fertilization of two separate ova or of a single ovum. See: twin. Synonym: bigeminal pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extraamniotic pregnancy | A pregnancy in which the chorion is intact, but the amnion has ruptured and shrunk. Synonym: graviditas examnialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extrachorial pregnancy | Pregnancy in which the membranes rupture and shrink, causing the foetus to develop outside the chorionic sac but within the uterus. Synonym: graviditas exochorialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extramembranous pregnancy | A pregnancy in which during the course of gestation the foetus has broken through its envelopes, coming directly in contact with the uterine walls. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extrauterine pregnancy | A gestation elsewhere than in the uterus. Often occurring in the fallopian tube. Presents with abdominal pain, fainting, and/or vaginal bleeding. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fallopian pregnancy | <obstetrics> An ectopic pregnancy that involves the development of the embryo within the fallopian tube. This can result in a surgical emergency when the developing embryo reaches a critical size. (27 Sep 1997) |
| false pregnancy | <obstetrics, psychiatry> A condition in which some signs and symptoms suggest pregnancy, although the woman is not pregnant. Synonym: hysterical pregnancy, pseudocyesis, pseudopregnancy, spurious pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uterine pregnancy | Development of foetus within the uterus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uteroabdominal pregnancy | Development of the ovum primarily in the uterus and later, in consequence of the rupture of the uterus, in the abdominal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adipokinetic hormone | An anterior pituitary hormone that causes mobilization of fat from adipose tissue. Synonym: adipokinetic hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal androgen-stimulating hormone | A putative pituitary hormone that may be responsible for increased secretion of adrenal androgens at the time of puberty. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenocorticotrophic hormone | <endocrinology> A peptide hormone that is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoid hormones, which help cells synthesise glucose, catabolize proteins, mobilizefree fatty acids and inhibit inflammation in allergic responses. (10 May 1997) |
| adrenocorticotropic hormone | The hormone of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis which governs the nutrition and growth of the adrenal cortex, stimulates it to functional activity, and also possesses extraadrenal adipokinetic activity; it is a polypeptide containing 39 amino acids, but exact structure varies from one species to another; sometimes prefixed by a to distinguish it from beta-corticotropin. The first thirteen amino acids at the N-terminal region are identical to alpha-melanotropin. Synonym: adrenocorticotropin, adrenotropic hormone, adrenotropin, corticotropic hormone, corticotropin.
