| adrenal gland | <anatomy, endocrinology> This gland is found above each kidney and it made up of an outer wall (cortex) that secretes important steroid hormones and an inner portion (medulla) that produces adrenaline (adrenaline) and noradrenaline (noradrenaline). The hormones help control heart rate, blood pressure, the way the body uses food, and other vital functions. (25 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| adrenal gland hypofunction | Adrenocortical hypofunction includes all conditions in which adrenal steroid hormone secretion falls below the requirements of the body. Adrenal insufficiency may be divided into two general categories: (1) those associated with primary inability of the adrenal to elaborate sufficient quantities of hormone and (2) those associated with a secondary failure due to a primary failure in the elaboration of adrenocorticotropin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenal gland insufficiency | <endocrinology> A condition that results from the inadequate production of adrenal hormones (see Addison's disease). (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal gland tumour | <oncology> A benign tumour or adenoma, that usually results in the excess production of adrenal gland hormones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| albuminous gland | A gland that secretes a watery fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar gland | A gland in which the secretory unit(s) has a saclike form and an obvious lumen; e.g., the active mammary gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal gland | One of a number of large sudoriferous gland's in the mucous membrane of the anus, an incorrect synonym for anal sac. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior lingual gland | One of the small mixed glands deeply placed near the apex of the tongue on each side of the frenulum. Synonym: glandula lingualis anterior, apical gland, Bauhin's gland, Blandin's gland, Nuhn's gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior surface of suprarenal gland | The anterior surface of the suprarenal gland. Synonym: facies anterior glandulae suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical gland | One of the small mixed glands deeply placed near the apex of the tongue on each side of the frenulum. Synonym: glandula lingualis anterior, apical gland, Bauhin's gland, Blandin's gland, Nuhn's gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apocrine gland | A gland whose secretory product includes an apical portion of the secretory cell such as the secretion of lipid droplets in lactation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| areolar gland abscess | An abscess or growth on the areolar gland (located beneath the areola) in the breast. most often perceived as a tender, painful lump that may drain pus. Incision and drainage is often required. The early application of warm wet compresses and antibiotics can be helpful in avoiding large abscess formation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| arteriococcygeal gland | An arteriovenous (arteriolovenular) anastomosis supplied by the middle sacral artery and located on the pelvic surface of the coccyx. It was formerly called a gland (of Luschka) or a glomus and included with the paraganglia. Synonym: corpus coccygeum, arteriococcygeal gland, coccygeal gland, glomus coccygeum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Aselli's gland | A single large lymph node ventral to the abdominal aorta that receives all the lymph from the intestines in many smaller mammals. Synonym: Aselli's pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bartholin's gland | One of two mucoid-secreting tubuloalveolar glands on either side of the lower part of the vagina, the equivalent of the bulbourethral glands in the male; ensheathed with vestibular bulbs by ischiocavernosus muscles. Thus erection and muscle contraction cause secretion into vestibule of vagina. Synonym: glandula vestibularis major, Bartholin's gland, Duverney's gland, Tiedemann's gland, vulvovaginal gland.
