| calcareous | Chalky; relating to or containing lime or calcium, or calcific material. Origin: L. Calcarius, pertaining to lime, fr. Calx, lime (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| calcareous conjunctivitis | An obsolete term for a condition in which the palpebral conjunctiva contains minute yellow concretions. Synonym: conjunctivitis petrificans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcareous degeneration | In a precise sense, not a degenerative process per se, but the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in tissue that has degenerated and become necrotic, as in dystrophic calcification. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcareous infiltration | <biochemistry> The process by which organic tissue becomes hardened by a deposit of calcium salts within its substance. Origin: L. Facere = to make. (21 Mar 1998) |
| calcareous metastasis | The deposit of calcareous material in remote tissues in the event of extensive resorption of osseous tissue in caries, malignant neoplasms, and so on. (05 Mar 2000) |
| micaceo-calcareous | <geology> Partaking of the nature of, or consisting of, mica and lime; applied to a mica schist containing carbonate of lime. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| articular corpuscles | Encapsulated nerve terminations within joint capsules. Synonym: corpuscula articularia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bulboid corpuscles | Nerve terminals in skin, mouth, conjunctiva, and other parts, consisting of a laminated capsule of connective tissue enclosing the terminal, branched, convoluted ending of an afferent nerve fibre; generally believed to be sensitive to cold. Synonym: corpuscula bulboidea, bulboid corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pacchionian corpuscles | Tufted prolongations of pia-arachnoid, composed of numerous arachnoid villi that penetrate dural venous sinuses and effect transfer of cerebrospinal fluid to the venous system. at advanced age these are more numerous and tend to calcify. Synonym: granulationes arachnoideales, arachnoidal granulations, pacchionian bodies, pacchionian corpuscles, pacchionian glands, pacchionian granulations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pacinian corpuscles | Rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors found in subcutaneous tissue beneath both hairy and glabrous skin. Pacinian corpuscles contain an afferent nerve fibre surrounded by a capsule with multiple concentric layers. They have large receptive fields and are most sensitive to high-frequency stimuli, such as vibration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Valentin's corpuscles | Small bodies, probably amyloid, found occasionally in nerve tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rainey's corpuscles | Rounded, ovoidal, or sickle-shaped spores or bradyzoites, 12 to 16 by 4 to 9 um, found within the elongated cysts (Miescher's tubes) of the protozoan Sarcocystis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Vater-Pacini corpuscles | Small oval bodies in the skin of the fingers, in the mesentery, tendons, and elsewhere, formed of concentric layers of connective tissue with a soft core in which the axon of a nerve fibre runs, splitting up into a number of fibrils that terminate in bulbous enlargements; they are sensitive to pressure. Synonym: corpuscula lamellosa, pacinian corpuscles, Vater's corpuscles, Vater-Pacini corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Vater's corpuscles | Small oval bodies in the skin of the fingers, in the mesentery, tendons, and elsewhere, formed of concentric layers of connective tissue with a soft core in which the axon of a nerve fibre runs, splitting up into a number of fibrils that terminate in bulbous enlargements; they are sensitive to pressure. Synonym: corpuscula lamellosa, pacinian corpuscles, Vater's corpuscles, Vater-Pacini corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malpighian corpuscles | The tuft of glomerular capillaries and the capsula glomeruli that encloses it. Synonym: corpusculum renis, malpighian corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
