| middle piece | A part of the spermatozoon characterised by an axoneme and by a sheath of mitochondria arranged in a tight helix. Principal piece, the principal part of the spermatozoon, which is about 45 um long and has a characteristic fibrous sheath surrounding the axoneme. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| piece | A part or portion. End piece, a part of the spermatozoon consisting of an axoneme surrounded only by the flagellar membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| end-piece | The terminal part of the tail of a spermatozoon consisting of the axoneme and the flagellar membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fab piece | The antigen-binding fragment of an immunoglobulin molecule, consisting of both a light chain and part of a heavy chain. Synonym: Fab piece. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fc piece | <immunology> The constant region on an immunoglobulin molecule. The area that is exactly the same on all antibodies. The region is found on the heavy chains and is not involved in binding antigens. (09 Oct 1997) |
| axis, principal | <microscopy> A line conceived as passing through the centre of a lens to connect the centres of curvature of the lens surfaces. The focal points of a lens lie on the principal axis. (05 Aug 1998) |
| principal | 1. Highest in rank, authority, character, importance, or degree; most considerable or important; chief; main; as, the principal officers of a Government; the principal men of a state; the principal productions of a country; the principal arguments in a case. "Wisdom is the principal thing." (Prov. Iv. 7) 2. Of or pertaining to a prince; princely. Principal axis. See Axis of a curve, under Axis. Principal axes of a quadric, a plane passing through the optical axis of a crystal. Origin: F, from L. Principalis. See Prince. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| principal artery of thumb | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial (deep palmar (arterial) arch); distribution, palmar surface and sides of thumb; anastomoses, arteries on dorsum of thumb. Synonym: arteria princeps pollicis, chief artery of thumb, princeps pollicis, principal artery of thumb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal focus | The real or virtual meeting point of rays passing into a lens parallel to its axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal investigator | The head researcher responsi for organising and overseeing a clinical trial (09 Oct 1997) |
| principal islets | Separate globular aggregates made up mostly of endocrine pancreatic tissue; present in some fishes and snakes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal optic axis | A line passing through the centre of the lens of a refracting system at right angles to its surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| principal plane | <microscopy> A plane normal to the principal axis of a lens, passing through a principal point. In geometrical construction of ray diagrams through a perfect lens, the single plane that can be considered (disregarding the refraction of the rays at each optical interface) to convert paraxial rays into rays converging onto the rear focal point. For thin symmetrical lenses, there is one principal plane that bisects the lens. For thick or complex lenses, there is a principal plane for the paraxial ray to the left, and another for the paraxial ray to the right, of the lens. (05 Aug 1998) |
| principal point | <microscopy> Mutually conjugate points lying on the lens axis and producing a magnification of one. Object and image distance as well as focal length are calculated (measured) from these points. (05 Aug 1998) |
| principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
