Cf. Minx a pert girl. 1. A human being; opposed tobeast. "These men went about wide, and man found they none, But fair country, and wild beast many [a] one." (R. Of Glouc) "The king is but a man, as I am; the violet smells to him as it doth to me." (Shak) 2. Especially: An adult male person; a grown-up male person, as distinguished from a woman or a child. "When I became a man, I put away childish things." (I Cor. Xiii. 11) "Ceneus, a woman once, and once a man." (Dryden) 3. The human race; mankind. "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion." (Gen. I. 26) "The proper study of mankind is man." (Pope) 4. The male portion of the human race. "Woman has, in general, much stronger propensity than man to the discharge of parental duties." (Cowper) 5. One possessing in a high degree the distinctive qualities of manhood; one having manly excellence of any kind. "This was the noblest Roman of them all . . . The elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world "This was a man!" (Shak) 6. An adult male servant; also, a vassal; a subject. "Like master, like man." (Old Proverb) "The vassal, or tenant, kneeling, ungirt, uncovered, and holding up his hands between those of his lord, professed that he did become his man from that day forth, of life, limb, and earthly honor." (Blackstone) 7. A term of familiar address often implying on the part of the speaker some degree of authority, impatience, or haste; as, Come, man, we 've no time to lose ! 8. A married man; a husband; correlative to wife. "I pronounce that they are man and wife." (Book of Com. Prayer) "every wife ought to answer for her man." (Addison) 9. One, or any one, indefinitely; a modified survival of the Saxon use of man, or mon, as an indefinite pronoun. "A man can not make him laugh." (Shak) "A man would expect to find some antiquities; but all they have to show of this nature is an old rostrum of a Roman ship." (Addison) 10. One of the piece with which certain games, as chess or draughts, are played. Man is often used as a prefix in composition, or as a separate adjective, its sense being usually self-explaining; as, man child, man eater or maneater, man-eating, man hater or manhater, man-hating, manhunter, man-hunting, mankiller, man-killing, man midwife, man pleaser, man servant, man-shaped, manslayer, manstealer, man-stealing, manthief, man worship, etc. Man is also used as a suffix to denote a person of the male sex having a business which pertains to the thing spoken of in the qualifying part of the compound; ashman, butterman, laundryman, lumberman, milkman, fireman, showman, waterman, woodman. Where the combination is not familiar, or where some specific meaning of the compound is to be avoided, man is used as a separate substantive in the foregoing sense; as, apple man, cloth man, coal man, hardware man, wood man (as distinguished from woodman). <medicine> Man ape, a contrivance by which miners ascend or descend in a shaft. It consists of a series of landings in the shaft and an equal number of shelves on a vertical rod which has an up and down motion equal to the distance between the successive landings. A man steps from a landing to a shelf and is lifted or lowered to the next landing, upon which he them steps, and so on, traveling by successive stages. Man Friday, a person wholly subservient to the will of another, like Robinson Crusoe's servant Friday. Man of straw, a puppet; one who is controlled by others; also, one who is not responsible pecuniarily. <botany> Man-of-the earth To be one's own man, to have command of one's self; not to be subject to another.

| Mendelian Inheritance in Man | A standard, comprehensive, perpetually updated reference source for traits in humans that have been shown to be mendelian or that are thought on reasonable grounds to be so. Each entry has a six-digit catalog number. Those securely established (by molecular biology or by extensive clinical studies) are marked with an asterisk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Goodenough draw-alpha-man test | A brief test for assessing an individual's level of intelligence based on how accurately drawn and how many elements are included when a child or adult is given a pencil and sheet of white paper and asked to draw a man, the best man he or she is able to draw. Also called the Goodenough draw-alpha-person test and, in its current form, the Goodenough-Harris drawing test. (05 Mar 2000) |

| stiff-man syndrome | <syndrome> Rare central nervous system disorder of unknown aetiology characterised by progressive rigidity and painful spasms of the axial and limb musculature. Diagnosis is based on the appropriate clinical signs, continuous motor activity on electromyography, and significant favourable response to diazepam. It has been suggested that the syndrome may result from an imbalance between the gaba-ergic and catecholaminergic pathways that control motor unit activity; the imbalance may be caused by autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| elephant man's disease | <syndrome> A disturbance of cell growth including benign tumours under the skin, overgrowth of the body, often more on one side than the other (hemihypertrophy), and overgrowth of fingers (macrodactyly). The syndrome is named after the greek god proteus the polymorphous who could change his appearance. The elephant man (john merrick) of 19th century england who was thought to have had neurofibromatosis probably had proteus syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| all-trans-retinal | The orange retinaldehyde resulting from the action of light on the rhodopsin of the retina, which converts the 11-cis-retinal component of the rhodopsin to all-trans-retinal plus opsin. Synonym: trans-retinal, visual yellow. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cis-trans-isomerases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the rearrangement of geometry about double bonds. Registry number: EC 5.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| cis trans test | <molecular biology> The complementation test with two or more interacting genes placed in cis and in trans relationships to each other. A double mutant genome is used in the cis test made from the two single mutant genomes used in the trans test by recombination. If the wild type phenotype is restored by both cis and trans arrangements it is concluded that the two mutations are in different genes and hence that the phenotype is determined by more than one gene. If the trans test is negative and the cis positive this means that the two mutations are in the same gene. If both tests are negative then at least one of the mutations must be dominant. Thus the double test provides a means of fine mapping of genes. A lab test which is used to determine whether two mutations of different genes which affect the same phenotype are on the same functional unit (indicating a cis configuration of the mutated genes) or on different functional units (indicating a trans configuration of the mutated genes). (A functional unit can be a chromosome.) The test is done by mating an individual that has one of the mutations to an individual that has the other one, and observing whether their offspring have the mutant phenotype. If the offspring do not have the mutant phenotype, then the genes are known to be trans, because the offspring have normal copies of each mutant gene on the different functional units which are able to genetically complement each other. If the offspring do have the mutant phenotype, then the genes are known to be cis, because the offspring will always inherit at least one of the mutant genes on the one functional unit, resulting in the mutant phenotype.
