zoospermia
zoning |
The occurrence of a stronger reaction in a lesser amount of suspected serum, observed sometimes in serologic tests used in the diagnosis of syphilis, and probably the result of high antibody titre. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
zonipetal |
Passing from without toward and into any region; as in mapping out an area of disturbed sensation, when the stimulus begins in a normal area and is carried into the affected region. Origin: L. Zona, zone, + peto, to seek (05 Mar 2000) |
zonography |
A form of tomography with a relatively thick plane of focus; especially used in renal radiography. Origin: zone + G. Grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
zonoskeleton |
The proximal skeletal segments of the limbs, i.e., scapula, clavicle, hip bone. Origin: L. Zona, zone, + skeleton (05 Mar 2000) |
zonula |
A small zone. Synonym: zonula. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonula adherens |
<cell biology> Specialised intercellular junction in which the membranes are separated by 15-25nm and into which are inserted microfilaments. Similar in structure to two apposed focal adhesions, though this may be misleading. Microfilaments inserted into the zonula adherens may interact (via myosin) with other microfilaments to generate contraction. Constitute mechanical coupling between cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
zonula ciliaris |
A series of delicate meridional fibres arising from the inner surface of the orbiculus ciliaris that run in bundles between, and in a very thin layer over, the ciliary processes; at the inner border of the corona, the fibres diverge into two groups that are attached to the capsule on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens close to the equator; the spaces between these two layers of fibres are filled with aqueous humor. Synonym: zonula ciliaris, apparatus suspensorius lentis, suspensory ligament of lens, Zinn's zonule. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonula occludens |
<cell biology> Specialised intercellular junction in which the two plasma membranes are separated by only 1-2nm. Found near the apical surface of cells in simple epithelia, forms a sealing gasket around the cell. Prevents fluid moving through the intercellular gap and the lateral diffusion of intrinsic membrane proteins between apical and baso lateral domains of the plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
zonular |
Relating to a zonula. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular band |
Fibres of the articular capsule of the hip joint encircling the neck of the femur. Synonym: orbicular zone, ring ligament, zonular band. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular cataract |
A cataract in which the opacity is limited to the cortex. Synonym: zonular cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular fibres |
Delicate fibres that pass from the equator of the lens to the ciliary body, collectively known as the ciliary zonule. Synonym: fibrae zonulares. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular layer |
A thin layer of white substance covering the upper surface of the thalamus and forming part of the floor of the body of the lateral ventricle, a layer of white substance on the surface of the superior colliculus. Synonym: stratum zonale. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular scotoma |
A curved scotoma not corresponding to the path of retinal nerve fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
zonular spaces |
The spaces between the fibres of the ciliary zonule at the equator of the lens of the eye. Synonym: spatia zonularia, Petit's canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
