Corrosion Casting
|
D016319 |
[A tissue preparation technique that involves the injecting of plastic (acrylates) into blood vessels or other hollow viscera and treating the tissue with a caustic substance. This results in a negative copy or a solid replica of the enclosed space of the tissue that is ready for viewing under a scanning electron microscope.

Corsiaceae
|
D045465 |
[A plant family of the order Liliales (or by some as Dioscoreales or Burmanniales), subclass Liliidae, class Liliopsida (monocotyledons). They are perennial saprophytic plants obtaining their carbon from FUNGI.

|
Cortactin
|
D051356 |
[A microfilament protein that interacts with F-ACTIN and regulates cortical actin assembly and organization. It is also an SH3 DOMAIN containing phosphoprotein, and it mediates tyrosine PHOSPHORYLATION based SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION by PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN PP60(C-SRC).

|
Cortical Bone
|
D000071538 |
[A type of osseous tissue which makes up the outer layer of bone. It is dense, rigid, strong, and forms concentric lamellar OSTEONS.

|
Cortical Excitability
|
D000071080 |
[Measurable changes in activities in the CEREBRAL CORTEX upon a stimulation. A change in cortical excitability as measured by various techniques (e.g., TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION) is associated with brain disorders.
] |
|
Cortical Spreading Depression
|
D013181 |
[The decrease in neuronal activity (related to a decrease in metabolic demand) extending from the site of cortical stimulation. It is believed to be responsible for the decrease in cerebral blood flow that accompanies the aura of MIGRAINE WITH AURA. (Campbell's Psychiatric Dictionary, 8th ed.)

|
Cortical Synchronization
|
D003344 |
[EEG phase synchronization of the cortical brain region (CEREBRAL CORTEX).

|
Corticomedial Nuclear Complex
|
D066276 |
[The rostral part of the amygdala with cortical-like layered structure. It receives major inputs from the OLFACTORY BULB and PIRIFORM CORTEX.
] |
|
Corticosterone
|
D003345 |
[An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)

|
Corticotrophs
|
D052680 |
[Anterior pituitary cells that produce ADRENOCORTICOTROPHIC HORMONE.

|
Corticotropin-Like Intermediate Lobe Peptide
|
D053497 |
[A peptide derived from the cleavage of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE, found primarily in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY but also in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS of basal HYPOTHALAMUS. Its sequence is identical to the C-terminal 22-amino acids of ACTH or ACTH 18-39.
] |
|
Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone
|
D003346 |
[A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.

|
Corticoviridae
|
D019240 |
[The sole species in the genus Corticovirus, family CORTICOVIRIDAE.
, A family of icosahedral, lipid-containing, non-enveloped bacteriophages containing one genus (Corticovirus).
] |
|
Cortinarius
|
D055363 |
[A genus of mushrooms in the family Cortinariaceae. When ingested, species of Cortinarius cause delayed acute RENAL FAILURE.
] |
|
Cortisone
|
D003348 |
[The acetate ester of cortisone that is used mainly for replacement therapy in adrenocortical insufficiency and in the treatment of many allergic and inflammatory disorders.
, A naturally occurring glucocorticoid that has been used in replacement therapy for ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY and as an anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone itself is inactive; it is converted in the liver to the active metabolite HYDROCORTISONE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p726)
] |
|
Cortisone Reductase
|
D003349 |
[An enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of a ketone and hydroxy group at C-20 of cortisone and other 17,20,21-trihydroxy steroids. EC 1.1.1.53.
] |
|
Cortodoxone
|
D003350 |
[17,21-Dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione. A 17-hydroxycorticosteroid with glucocorticoid and anti-inflammatory activities.
] |
|
Corydalis
|
D031311 |
[A plant genus of the family FUMARIACEAE (classified by some in PAPAVERACEAE) that contains isoquinoline alkaloids.
