| vitelline reservoir | In cestodes and trematodes, a common chamber receiving vitelline (yolk) material from the two vitelline ducts; the yolk material then passes into the ootype to surround the ovum with nutritive vitelline granules that are enclosed by a characteristically formed eggshell. Synonym: vitelline reservoir. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Pecquet's reservoir | A dilated sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct into which the intestinal trunk and two lumbar lymphatic trunks open; it occurs inconstantly and when present is located posterior to the aorta on the anterior aspect of the bodies of the first and second lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: ampulla chyli, chyle cistern, chylocyst, Pecquet's cistern, Pecquet's reservoir, receptaculum chyli, receptaculum pecqueti. (05 Mar 2000) |

| reservoir | 1. <anatomy> A place or cavity for storage, for anatomical structures serving as a storage space for fluids. 2. <geography> A place where anything is kept in store; especially, a place where water is collected and kept for use when wanted, as to supply a fountain, a canal, or a city by means of aqueducts, or to drive a mill wheel, or the like. 3. <botany> A small intercellular space, often containing esin, essential oil, or some other secreted matter. Receiving reservoir, a principal reservoir into which an aqueduct or rising main delivers water, and from which a distributing reservoir draws its supply. 4. <microbiology> A reservoir host or reservoir of infection, an alternate or passive host or carrier that harbours pathogenic organisms, without injury to itself and serves as a source from which other individuals can be infected. Origin: F. Reservoir, LL. Reservatorium, from server = to reserve (27 Oct 1998) |
| reservoir bag | A collapsible reservoir from which gases are inhaled and into which gases may be exhaled during general anaesthesia or artificial ventilation. Synonym: reservoir bag. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reservoir host | The host of an infection in which the infectious agent multiplies and/or develops, and upon which the agent is dependent for survival in nature; the host essential for the maintenance of the infection during times when active transmission is not occurring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reservoir of infection | Living or nonliving material in or on which an infectious agent multiplies and/or develops and is dependent for its survival in nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reservoir of spermatozoa | The site where spermatozoa are stored; the distal portion of the tail of the epididymis and the beginning of the ductus deferens. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ommaya reservoir | <apparatus> A device with a fluid reservoir implanted under the scalp with a catheter to a ventricle. It allows for medication to be given directly to the CSF and into the brain. (16 Dec 1997) |
| vitelline | <biology> Of or pertaining to the yolk of eggs; as, the vitelline membrane, a smooth, transparent membrane surrounding the vitellus. Origin: L. Vitellus the yolk of an egg. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| vitelline artery | <anatomy, artery> An artery carrying blood to the yolk sac from the embryo. Synonym: arteria vitellina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelline cord | A persistent yolk stalk in the form of a solid cord of tissue connecting ileum to umbilicus. Synonym: omphalomesenteric cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelline duct | The narrow tube connecting the yolk sac with the midgut of the embryo; persistence of all or part of it in post-foetal life produces abnormalities, of which the commonest is meckel's diverticulum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vitelline fistula | A fistula between the umbilicus and the terminal ileum along the course of a persistent vitelline cord. See: Meckel's diverticulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelline layer of egg | <zoology> The membrane, usually of protein fibres, immediately outside the plasmalemma of the ovum and the earlier stages of the developing embryo. Its structure and composition vary in differing animal groups. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vitelline membrane | <cell biology> The plasma membrane of the egg. (12 Dec 1998) |
