| metallography | 1. The science or art of metals and metal working; also, a treatise on metals. 2. A method of transferring impressions of the grain of wood to metallic surfaces by chemical action. 3. A substitute for lithography, in which metallic plates are used instead of stone. Origin: L. Metallum metal: cf. F. Metallographie. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| metalloid | Formerly, the metallic base of a fixed alkali, or alkaline earth; applied by Sir H. Davy to sodium, potassium, and some other metallic substances whose metallic character was supposed to be not well defined. Now, one of several elementary substances which in the free state are unlike metals, and whose compounds possess or produce acid, rather than basic, properties; a nonmetal; as, boron, carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine, etc, are metalloids. Origin: L. Metallum metal: cf. F. Metalloide. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| metallophilia | Affinity for metal salts; e.g., the affinity of the cytoplasm of cells of the reticuloendothelial system for silver carbonate stain and salts of gold and iron. Origin: metallo-+ G. Philos, fond (05 Mar 2000) |
| metallophobia | <psychology> Morbid fear of metal objects. Origin: G. Metallon, metal, + phobos, fear (05 Mar 2000) |
| metalloporphyrin | A combination of a porphyrin with a metal, e.g., Fe (haematin), Mg (as in chlorophyll), Cu (in haemocyanin), Zn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metalloporphyrins | Porphyrins which are combined with a metal ion. The metal is bound equally to all four nitrogen atoms of the pyrrole rings. They possess characteristic absorption spectra which can be utilised for identification or quantitative estimation of porphyrins and porphyrin-bound compounds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metalloprotein | <protein> A protein that contains a bound metal ion as part of its structure. (18 Nov 1997) |
| metalloproteinases | <enzyme> Peptide hydrolases which use a metal in the catalytic mechanism. This group of enzymes is inactivated by metal chelators. Registry number: EC 3.4.24 (12 Dec 1998) |
| metalloproteins | Proteins that have one or more tightly bound metal ions forming part of their structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metalloscopy | Testing the action of various metals applied to the surface of the body. Origin: metallo-+ G. Skopeo, to examine (05 Mar 2000) |
| metallotherapy | <medicine> Treatment of disease by applying metallic plates to the surface of the body. Origin: L. Metallum metal + E. Therapy. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| metallothionein | <biochemistry> Small cysteine rich metal binding protein found in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotes. Synthesis can be induced by heavy metals such as zinc, cadmium, copper and mercury and metallothioneins probably serve a protective function. Metallothionein gene promoters are used in studies of gene expression. (18 Nov 1997) |
| metallurgy | The science, art, or technology dealing with processes involved in the separation of metals from their ores, the technique of making or compounding the alloys, the techniques of working or heat-treating metals, and the mining of metals. It includes industrial metallurgy as well as metallurgical techniques employed in the preparation and working of metals used in dentistry, with special reference to orthodontic and prosthodontic appliances. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metalorganic | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or denoting, any one of a series of compounds of certain metallic elements with organic radicals; as, zinc methyl, sodium ethyl, etc. Alternative forms: metallorganic. Origin: Metal, L. Metallum + E. Organic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| metamorphosis |
change from one form into another, eg the Frog-Apollo metamorphosis as illustrated in Lavater's Physiognomy (1778-79). This concept fascinated Enlightenment scientists because it illustrated the unity in diversity that characterized living nature. Petrus Camper (1722-1789) illustrated metamorphoses in nature.

| metaplastic carcinoma |
A general term used to describe cancer that begins in cells that have changed into another cell type (for example, a squamous cell of the esophagus changing to resemble a cell of the stomach). In some cases, metaplastic changes alone may mean there is an increased chance of cancer developing at the site.
