Cause of Death
|
D002423 |
[Factors which produce cessation of all vital bodily functions. They can be analyzed from an epidemiologic viewpoint.
] |
|
Caustics
|
D002424 |
[Strong alkaline chemicals that destroy soft body tissues resulting in a deep, penetrating type of burn, in contrast to corrosives, that result in a more superficial type of damage via chemical means or inflammation. Caustics are usually hydroxides of light metals. SODIUM HYDROXIDE and potassium hydroxide are the most widely used caustic agents in industry. Medically, they have been used externally to remove diseased or dead tissues and destroy warts and small tumors. The accidental ingestion of products (household and industrial) containing caustic ingredients results in thousands of injuries per year.

Cautery
|
D002425 |
[The application of a caustic substance, a hot instrument, an electric current, or other agent to control bleeding while removing or destroying tissue.

|
Caveolae
|
D021941 |
[Endocytic/exocytic CELL MEMBRANE STRUCTURES rich in glycosphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid-anchored membrane proteins that function in ENDOCYTOSIS (potocytosis), transcytosis, and SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION. Caveolae assume various shapes from open pits to closed vesicles. Caveolar coats are composed of CAVEOLINS.
] |
|
Caveolin 1
|
D051242 |
[A tyrosine phosphoprotein that plays an essential role in CAVEOLAE formation. It binds CHOLESTEROL and is involved in LIPIDS transport, membrane traffic, and SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION.
] |
|
Caveolin 2
|
D051243 |
[Caveolin 2 is a binding partner of CAVEOLIN 1. It undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation by C-SRC PROTEIN PP60 and plays a regulatory role in CAVEOLAE formation.
] |
|
Caveolin 3
|
D051244 |
[A caveolin that is expressed exclusively in MUSCLE CELLS and is sufficient to form CAVEOLAE in SARCOLEMMA. Mutations in caveolin 3 are associated with multiple muscle diseases including DISTAL MYOPATHY and LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY.
] |
|
Caveolins
|
D022461 |
[The main structural proteins of CAVEOLAE. Several distinct genes for caveolins have been identified.

|
Cavernous Sinus
|
D002426 |
[An irregularly shaped venous space in the dura mater at either side of the sphenoid bone.
] |
|
Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis
|
D020226 |
[Formation or presence of a blood clot (THROMBUS) in the CAVERNOUS SINUS of the brain. Infections of the paranasal sinuses and adjacent structures, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, and THROMBOPHILIA are associated conditions. Clinical manifestations include dysfunction of cranial nerves III, IV, V, and VI, marked periorbital swelling, chemosis, fever, and visual loss.

Caves
|
D059552 |
[Geological formations consisting of underground enclosures with access from the surface.
] |
|
Cdc20 Proteins
|
D064199 |
[Highly conserved proteins that specifically bind to and activate the anaphase-promoting complex-cyclosome, promoting ubiquitination and proteolysis of cell-cycle-regulatory proteins. Cdc20 is essential for anaphase-promoting complex activity, initiation of anaphase, and cyclin proteolysis during mitosis.
] |
|
Cdh1 Proteins
|
D064200 |
[Cdh1 is an activator of the anaphase-promoting complex-cyclosome, and is involved in substrate recognition. It associates with the complex in late MITOSIS from anaphase through G1 to regulate activity of CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES and to prevent premature DNA replication.

Ceanothus
|
D031952 |
[A plant genus of the family RHAMNACEAE. Root nodules host the Frankia (ACTINOMYCETES) nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Cebidae
|
D002427 |
[A family of New World monkeys in the infraorder PLATYRRHINI, consisting of nine subfamilies: ALOUATTINAE; AOTINAE; Atelinae; Callicebinae; CALLIMICONINAE; CALLITRICHINAE; CEBINAE; Pithecinae; and SAIMIRINAE. They inhabit the forests of South and Central America, comprising the largest family of South American monkeys.

Cebus
|
D002428 |
[A genus of the family CEBIDAE, subfamily CEBINAE, consisting of gracile or untufted capuchin species. Tufted capuchins belong to genus SAPAJUS. Members include C. capucinus, C. nigrivultatus, and C. albifrons. Cebus inhabits the forests of Central and South Americas.

Cebus capucinus
|
D000080526 |
[A species of the genus CEBUS, family CEBIDAE, consisting of capuchin monkeys with white markings over most of frontal areas of the face, chest and upper arms.
