Symbol for Kienbock unit and xanthine or xanthosine . See also exposure , definition 3.
X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
Symbol for Kienbock unit and xanthine or xanthosine . See also exposure , definition 3.
A form of diabetes insipidus, which exists at and usually before birth and is inherited as an X-linked trait, caused by failure of the renal tubules to reabsorb water in response to antidiuretic hormone, without disturbance in the renal filtration and solute excretion rates; the condition does not respond to exogenous vasopressin.
Processus xiphoideus.
The female sex chromosome, being the differential sex chromosome carried by half the male gametes and all female gametes in man and other male-heterogametic species.
A gene carried on the X chromosome; the corresponding trait, whether dominant or recessive, is always expressed in males, who have only one X chromosome. X linkage is used sometimes synonymously with sex linkage since no genetic disorders have as yet been associated with genes on the Y chromosome.
1. Shaped like a sword; ensiform.
2. Pertaining to the processus xiphoideus.
3. Processus xiphoideus.
Lyonization.
A form of diabetes insipidus, inherited as an X-linked trait, caused by failure of the renal tubules to reabsorb water in response to antidiuretic hormone, without disturbance in the renal filtration and solute excretion rates; the condition does not respond to exogenous vasopressin.
Processus xiphoideus.
In genetics, the association of genes having loci on the same chromosome (the X chromosome).
A form of diabetes insipidus, inherited as an X-linked trait, caused by failure of the renal tubules to reabsorb water in response to antidiuretic hormone, without disturbance in the renal filtration and solute excretion rates; the condition does not respond to exogenous vasopressin.
Processus xiphoideus.
Pertaining to the female sex chromosome. See X chromosome .
To examine, treat, or photograph with X rays. X ray:
1. Any of the electromagnetic radiations of the same nature as visible radiation but of an extremely short wavelength less than 100 angstroms that is produced by bombarding a metallic target with fast electrons in vacuum or by transition of atoms to lower energy states and that has the properties of ionizing a gas upon passage through it, of penetrating various thicknesses of all solids, of producing secondary radiations by impinging on material bodies, of acting on photographic films and plates as light does, and of causing fluorescent screens to emit light.
2. A photograph obtained by
use of X rays.
Processus xiphoideus: the pointed process of cartilage, supported by a core of bone, connected with the lower end of the body of the sternum. Called also ensiform , mucronate , or xiphoid cartilage ; xiphoid bone ; and xiphisternum .
Also called lyonization, X-inactivation is a process by which one of the two copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated.
A glass vacuum bulb containing two electrodes. Electrons are obtained either from gas in the tube or from a heated cathode. When suitable potential is applied, electrons travel at high velocity from cathode to anode, where they are suddenly arrested, giving rise to x-rays.
X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
See X-linked gene under gene.
Abbreviation for Xenopus egg extract (See JAB-617).
See under gene.
A developing egg cell of an amphibian.
