| pressoreceptor system | The pressoreceptive areas which with their afferent fibres and connections with the autonomic system react to a rise in arterial blood pressure and serve to buffer it by inhibiting the heart rate and vascular tone. See: baroreceptor. (05 Mar 2000) |

| haversian system | <anatomy> The basic unit of structure of compact bone, comprising a haversian canal and its concentrically arranged lamellae, of which there may be 4 to 20, each 3 to 7 microns thick, in a single haversian system. A haversian canal is a freely anastomosing channel in compact bone containing blood vessels and running longitudinally in the centre of haversian systems of compact osseous tissue. It was originally described by Clopton Havers, an english physician, in 1691. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart conduction system | An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle and having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| projection system | The system of axons carrying stimuli from one portion of the nervous system to other portions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatic portal system | A venous portal system in which the portal vein receives blood via its tributaries from the capillaries of most of the abdominal viscera and drains it into the hepatic sinusoids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| properdin system | An immunological system that is the alternative pathway for complement, composed of several distinct proteins that react in a serial manner and activate C3 (third component of complement), seemingly without utilizing components C1, C4, and C2; in addition to properdin, the system includes properdin factors A (native C3), B (C3 proactivator), D (C3 proactivator convertase), and perhaps at least one other, E; the system can be activated, in the absence of specific antibody, by bacterial endotoxins, by a variety of polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides, and by a component of cobra venom.

| heterogeneous system | In chemistry, a system that contains various distinct and mechanically separable parts or phases; e.g., a suspension or an emulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hexaxial reference system | The figure resulting if the lines of derivation of the unipolar limb leads of the electrocardiogram are added to the triaxial reference system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| His-Tawara system | The complex system of interlacing Purkinje fibres within the ventricular myocardium. See: conducting system of heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
