ocular
| ocular motility disorders | Disorders of eye movement resulting from malfunction of the sensory-motor mechanism of the eye which leads to faulty alignment of the eyes and/or visual impairment. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| autocrine motility factor | A member of the class of cytokines secreted by tumour cells. It elicits increases in cell motility and phosphoinositide metabolism in the secreting or producing cell via a pertussis toxin-sensitive g-protein signal transduction pathway. The factor has also been used as a marker for bladder cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ciliary motility disorders | Disorders characterised by abnormal ciliary movement in the nose, paranasal sinuses, respiratory tract, and spermatozoa. Electron microscopy of the cilia shows that dynein arms are missing. The disorders manifest as kartagener triad (kartagener's syndrome), chronic respiratory disorders, chronic sinusitis, and/or chronic otitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motility | <biology> The ability to move spontaneously. (18 Nov 1997) |
| motility test | A test based on microscopic observation or on the spread of growth in soft agar, used to determine if a microorganism is motile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motility test medium | A culture medium with a concentration of agar that produces a less solid consistency than usual and allows motile organisms to grow away from the line of inoculation; used to differentiate species of bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sperm motility | Ability of the spermatozoon to move by flagellate swimming. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oesophageal motility disorders | Disorders affecting the motor function of the upper or lower oesophageal sphincters, the oesophageal body, or a combination of these parts. The failure of the sphincters to maintain a tonic pressure may result in the impeding of the passage of food, regurgitation of food, or reflux of gastric acid into the oesophagus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accommodation, ocular | The dioptric adjustment of the eye (to attain maximal sharpness of retinal imagery for an object of regard) referring to the ability, to the mechanism, or to the process. It is the effecting of refractive changes by changes in the shape of the crystalline lens. Loosely, it refers to ocular adjustments for vision at various distances. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adaptation, ocular | The adjustment of the eye to variations in the intensity of light. Light adaptation is the adjustment of the eye when the light threshold is increased; dark adaptation when the light is greatly reduced. (12 Dec 1998) |
| albinism, ocular | Albinism affecting the eye in which pigment of the hair and skin is normal or only slightly diluted. The classic type is x-linked (nettleship-falls), but an autosomal recessive form also exists. Ocular abnormalities may include reduced pigmentation of the iris, nystagmus, photophobia, strabismus, and decreased visual acuity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior ocular segment | That portion of the eye comprising the cornea, iris, lens, and their associated chambers and adnexa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardinal ocular movements | Eye rotations to the right and left, upward to the right and left, and downward to the right and left, to diagnose positions of gaze. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ramsden's ocular | An eyepiece of a microscope, consisting of two planoconvex lenses with convexities turned to each other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular ocular reflex | <clinical sign> Reflex movement of the eyes in the opposite direction to that which the head is moved, e.g., the eyes being lowered as the head is raised, and the reverse (Cantelli's sign); an indication of functional integrity of the brainstem tegmental pathways and cranial nerves involved in eye movement. Synonym: vestibular ocular reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex, vestibulo-ocular | A reflex wherein impulses are conveyed from the cupulas of the saemicircular canals and from the otolithic membrane of the saccule and utricle via the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem and the median longitudinal fasciculus to the oculomotor nerve nuclei. It functions to maintain a stable retinal image during head rotation by generating appropriate compensatory eye movements. (12 Dec 1998) |
