| molluscum corpuscle | A disticntive intracellular spherical body in the lesions of molluscum contagiosum caused by a member of the family Poxviridae; it consists of degenerated cytoplasm and the virus. Synonym: molluscum corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| molluscum | <medicine> A cutaneous disease characterised by numerous tumours, of various forms, filled with a thick matter; so called from the resemblance of the tumours to some molluscous animals. Origin: NL. See Mollusk. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| molluscum bodies | <virology> Intracellular inclusions of poxviruses found in cells of human epidermis, harmless, but contagious, skin lesions molluscum contagiosum). (18 Nov 1997) |
| molluscum body | A disticntive intracellular spherical body in the lesions of molluscum contagiosum caused by a member of the family Poxviridae; it consists of degenerated cytoplasm and the virus. Synonym: molluscum corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molluscum conjunctivitis | Conjunctivitis associated with lesions of molluscum contagiosum of the eyelid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molluscum contagiosum | <dermatology> A skin condition caused by a pox virus infection, distinguished by small dome-shaped papules (bumps) on the face, upper trunk or extremities. Current treatment is mainly cosmetic. It often involves application of liquid nitrogen to the papules as a means of excising them. (10 Jan 1998) |
| molluscum contagiosum virus | A species of molluscipoxvirus causing skin lesions in humans. It is transmitted by direct contact or from non-living reservoirs (fomites), such as books or clothing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molluscum verrucosum | <dermatology> A skin condition caused by a pox virus infection, distinguished by small dome-shaped papules (bumps) on the face, upper trunk or extremities. Current treatment is mainly cosmetic. It often involves application of liquid nitrogen to the papules as a means of excising them. (10 Jan 1998) |
| amniotic corpuscle | One of a number of small ovoid or rounded, sometimes laminated, bodies resembling a grain of starch and found in nervous tissue, in the prostate, and in pulmonary alveoli; of little pathological significance, and apparently derived from degenerated cells or proteinaceous secretions. Synonym: amniotic corpuscle, amylaceous corpuscle, amyloid corpuscle, colloid corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid corpuscle | One of a number of small ovoid or rounded, sometimes laminated, bodies resembling a grain of starch and found in nervous tissue, in the prostate, and in pulmonary alveoli; of little pathological significance, and apparently derived from degenerated cells or proteinaceous secretions. Synonym: amniotic corpuscle, amylaceous corpuscle, amyloid corpuscle, colloid corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axis corpuscle | Axile corpuscle, the central portion of a tactile corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal corpuscle | <cell biology> Structure found at the base of eukaryotic cilia and flagella consisting of a continuation of the nine outer sets of axonemal microtubules but with the addition of a C tubule to form a triplet (like the centriole). May be self replicating and serves as a nucleating centre for axonemal assembly. Anchored in the cytoplasm by rootlets. Synonymous with kinetosome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Bizzozero's corpuscle | <haematology> A discoid cell (3m diameter) found in large numbers in blood, important for blood coagulation and for haemostasis by repairing breaches (small breaks) in the walls of blood vessels. Platelet _ granules contain lysosomal enzymes, dense granules contain ADP (a potent platelet aggregating factor) and serotonin (a vasoactive amine). They also release platelet-derived growth factor which presumably contributes to later repair processes by stimulating fibroblast proliferation. Synonym: thrombocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blood corpuscle | <haematology> There are three main types of cell in the blood stream. The red cell, which carries oxygen, the white cell, which fights infections and the platelet, which helps prevent bleeding. The correct balance between each cell type must be maintained for the body to remain healthy. (13 Nov 1997) |
| bone corpuscle | <pathology> Osteoblast that is embedded in bony tissue and which is relatively inactive. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bridge corpuscle | <cell biology> Specialised cell junction characteristic of epithelia into which intermediate filaments (tonofilaments of cytokeratin) are inserted. The gap between plasma membranes is of the order of 25-30nm and the intercellular space has a medial band of electron dense material. Desmosomes are particularly conspicuous in tissues such as skin that have to withstand mechanical stress. Origin: Gr. Soma = body (18 Nov 1997) |
