| sea snail | <zoology> A small fish of the genus Liparis, having a ventral sucker. It lives among stones and seaweeds. Any small creeping marine gastropod, as the species of Littorina, Natica, etc. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| snail | 1. <zoology> Any one of numerous species of terrestrial air-breathing gastropods belonging to the genus Helix and many allied genera of the family Helicidae. They are abundant in nearly all parts of the world except the arctic regions, and feed almost entirely on vegetation; a land sanil. Any gastropod having a general resemblance to the true snails, including fresh water and marine species. See Pond snail, under Pond, and Sea snail. 2. Hence, a drone; a slow-moving person or thing. 3. <mechanics> A spiral cam, or a flat piece of metal of spirally curved outline, used for giving motion to, or changing the position of, another part, as the hammer tail of a striking clock. 4. A tortoise; in ancient warfare, a movable roof or shed to protect besiegers; a testudo. "They had also all manner of gynes [engines] . . . That needful is [in] taking or sieging of castle or of city, as snails, that was naught else but hollow pavises and targets, under the which men, when they fought, were heled [protected], . . . As the snail is in his house; therefore they cleped them snails." (Vegetius (Trans)) 5. <botany> The pod of the sanil clover. Ear snail, Edible snail, Pond snail, etc. See Ear, Edible, etc. <zoology> Snail borer, a boring univalve mollusk; a drill. <botany> Snail clover See Snail clover, above. Origin: OE. Snaile, AS.

| snail fever | Disease (bilharzia) caused by digenetic trematode worms of the genus Schistosoma, the adults of which live in the urinary or mesenteric blood vessels. Eggs shed by the female worms pass to the outside in the urine or faeces, but many also lodge in and obstruct the blood flow in the liver. Eosinophils seem to be particularly important in the killing of the invasive larval stage (schistosomulum). Evasion of the host's immune response by adult schistosomes seems to involve the acquisition of a coat of host cell surface material by the parasite. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antipodal cone | The set of astral rays of a dividing cell extending from the centriole in a direction opposite to the equatorial plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arterial cone | The left or anterosuperior, smooth-walled portion of the cavity of the right ventricle of the heart, which begins at the supraventricular crest and terminates in the pulmonary trunk. Synonym: arterial cone, pulmonary cone, pulmonary conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blue cone monochromatism | Impaired, but not absent, colour vision with less severely reduced visual acuity than in complete achromatopsia; inherited as an autosomal recessive or as an X-linked disorder (blue cone monochromism; pi cone monochromatism ). (05 Mar 2000) |
| m-cone | Middle wavelength sensitive c. (green c.). (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullary cone | The tapering lower extremity of the spinal cord. Synonym: conus medullaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal cone | <ophthalmology, physiology> One of the two photoreceptor cell types in the vertebrate retina. In cones the photopigment is in invaginations of the cell membrane of the outer segment. Cones are less sensitive to light than rods, and are differentially sensitive to particular wavelengths of light and therefore important for colour vision. They provide vision with higher spatial and temporal acuity, and it is the combination of signals from cones with different pigments that facilitates colour vision. There are three types of cones, each type sensitive to red, green or blue. Present in large numbers in the fovea. (03 Jul 1999) |
| growth cone | <cell biology> A specialised region at the tip of a growing neurite that is responsible for sensing the local environment and moving toward the neuron's target cell. Growth cones are hand shaped, with several long filopodia that differentially adhere to surfaces in the embryo. Growth cones can be sensitive to several guidance cues, for example: surface adhesiveness, growth factors, neurotransmitters and electric fields (galvanotropism). (18 Nov 1997) |
| growth cone collapse | <cell biology> Loss of motile activity and cessation of advance by growth cones. There are now thought to be specific molecules that inhibit the motility of particular growth cones and are important in establishing correct pathways in developing nervous systems. See: axon pathfinding. (18 Nov 1997) |
| gutta-percha cone | <dentistry> A cone-shaped, semi rigid root canal filling material composed of gutta-percha and zinc oxide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pi cone monochromatism | Impaired, but not absent, colour vision with less severely reduced visual acuity than in complete achromatopsia; inherited as an autosomal recessive or as an X-linked disorder (blue cone monochromism; pi cone monochromatism ). (05 Mar 2000) |
