Epidermal growth factor - a cytokine that stimulates epithelial cell proliferation. Epinephrine - a neurotransmitter substance found at all adrenergic synapses (nor epinephrine or epinephrine). It is
Habitat - a location which has a suitable environment for an organism to live in. Caves are natural habitats for bats, trees for birds; oral surfaces and crevices, for some bacteria. Haemostasis - the
Insulin - an endochrine hormone produced in the spleen which controls the amount of sugar in the blood by a) transporting it into cells and promoting glycolysis b) converting it into glycogen for stor
Intermediate filaments - unlike microfilaments and microtubules, they are verystable. Instead of being stacked proteins, as in actin, intermediate filaments are built of interlocking proteins. A dense
Junctional epithelium - the epithelium which seals the base of the gingival sulcus against the tooth. Keratan sulphate - a glycosaminoglycan found in cartilage, with chondroitin sulphate. Keratin - a
Lamella-bone - the microscopic structure of cortical bone gives it the appearance of concentric or parallel plates ( from Latin, lamella, the diminutive of lamina, meaning a plate or leaf). Lamina pro
Lymphocytes - white cells involved in the immune response. B lymphocytes are so called because they mature in bone while T lymphocytes mature in the thymus. Both cells look alike until they recognise
Darwinian medicine - an approach to the treatment of infective diseases which takes account of the co-evolution between the host and its parasite. Deciduous - from the Latin
Code - the code of nucleotides is written in
Cemento-enamel junction- the junction between the enamel covering the crown of the tooth and the cementum covering its root. Often referred to as the CEJ. Cementoblasts - cells of mesenchyme origin, i
Calcium-binding proteins - proteins which have the ability to store calcium ions and to bind onto calcium in the hydroxyapatite of the enamel surface. Calculus - a hard deposit of calcified plaque whi
Ameloblasts- cells which differentiate from ectoderm and secrete enamel during tooth development. Amino acids - building blocks of proteins containing a carboxyl group (COOH) and an amino group(NH2) b
Abductors - muscle taking a limb or the jaw away from the body. Acetyl choline - Aneurotransmitter substance found at all cholinergic synapses including those of motoneurones at the neuromuscular junc
Symbiosis - a mutually beneficial inter-relationship between two organisms, for example between bees and flowers (pollen carrying in return for nectar). Sympathetic nerves - the sympathetic nervous sy
Microbiology - the study of the microscopic forms of life. Microfilaments - are the smallest filaments of the cytoskeleton. The filaments are made of hundreds of actin molecules, stacked in a line. Th
Morphogenesis - the process in which tissue shapes and organ structures are developed during embryology. Morphogenic fieled - an environment in which the shape or pattern of a developing organ is dete
Paracrine - cell messengers also called cytokines which are locally acting, produced by neighbouring cells or the extracellular matrix, as distinct from as distinct from endochrine or hormonal messeng
Prostaglandins - are members of a class of hormones known as the eicosanoids. They are released by cells which have been damaged and have a powerful ability to sensitise nerve endings causing tenderne
Saturated solutions - Salts such as the apatites do not readily become ionized and dissolve in water. When no more ions can dissolve the solution is said to be saturated. The concentration of ions in
