| ficin | <enzyme> A sulfhydryl proteinase with cysteine at the active site from ficus latex. Preferential cleavage is at tyrosine and phenylalanine residues. Acts on a wide variety of protein substrates. Registry number: EC 3.4.22.3 (12 Dec 1998) |

| Fick method | In 1870 A. Fisk proposed that cardiac output can be calculated as the quotient of total body oxygen consumption divided by the difference in oxygen content of arterial blood and mixed venous blood. In the direct Fick method all variables are measured. The indirect Fick method employs a variety of means to avoid measuring mixed venous oxygen content. By extension, the Fick method may be used to measure cardiac output or organ blood flow with any indicator substance for which the rate of uptake or consumption, and the arterial and mixed venous concentrations, can be measured, provided the indicator does not enter or leave the system by any route not being measured. Synonym: Fick principle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fick's law of diffusion | The principle that a substance put into solution will tend to diffuse towards constant concentration throughout the solution. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Fick's laws of diffusion | The direction of movement of solutes by diffusion is always from a higher to a lower concentration and the diffusive flux JA of solute A across a plane at x is proportional to the concentration gradient of A at x; i.e., JA = -D(CA/x), the increase of concentration of solute A with time, CA/t, is directly proportional to the change in the concentration gradient, i.e., CA/t = D(fl2/x2).

| ficoll gradient | A density gradient of ficoll (synthetic sucrose polymer) in solution, where concentration of the ficoll varies continuously through the solution. It is often used to separate different types of cells from each other during the process of sedimentation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Ficoll-Hypaque technique | A density-gradient centrifugation technique for separating lymphocytes from other formed elements in the blood; the sample is layered onto a Ficoll-sodium metrizoate gradient of specific density; following centrifugation, lymphocytes are collected from the plasma-Ficoll interface.

| fiction | 1. The act of feigning, inventing, or imagining; as, by a mere fiction of the mind. 2. That which is feigned, invented, or imagined; especially, a feigned or invented story, whether oral or written. Hence: A story told in order to deceive; a fabrication; opposed to fact, or reality. "The fiction of those golden apples kept by a dragon." (Sir W. Raleigh) "When it could no longer be denied that her flight had been voluntary, numerous fictions were invented to account for it." (Macaulay) 3. Fictitious literature; comprehensively, all works of imagination; specifically, novels and romances. "The office of fiction as a vehicle of instruction and moral elevation has been recognised by most if not all great educators." (Dict. Of Education) 4. An assumption of a possible thing as a fact, irrespective of the question of its truth. 5. Any like assumption made for convenience, as for passing more rapidly over what is not disputed, and arriving at points really at issue. Synonym: Fabrication, invention, fable, falsehood. Fiction, Fabrication. Fiction is opposed to what is real; fabrication to what is true. Fiction is designed commonly to amuse, and sometimes to instruct; a fabrication is always intended to mislead and deceive. In the novels of Sir Walter Scott we have fiction of the highest order. The poems of Ossian, so called, were chiefly fabrications by Macpherson. Origin: F. Fiction, L. Fictio, fr. Fingere, fictum to form, shape, invent, feign. See Feign.

| fictitious feeding | A procedure used in the study of the psychic phase of gastric secretion: in experiments on dogs, the food, after being eaten, does not enter the stomach but issues from an oesophageal fistula made in the neck; the chewing and swallowing of food causes an abundant secretion of gastric juice. Synonym: fictitious feeding. (05 Mar 2000) |

[EC 3.4.22.3] an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the cleavage of proteins on the carboxyl side of lysine, alanine, tyrosine, glycine, asparagine, leucine, and valine bonds. It is a cysteine endopeptidase derived from the sap of fig trees. Because it enhances the agglutination of red blood cells with IgG antibodies, it is used in the determination of the Rh factor; it is also used as a protein digestant in a variety of industrial applications.
