Arachis
|
D010367 |
[A plant species of the family FABACEAE that yields edible seeds called peanuts, which contain protein, oil, and lectins. Peanuts are also known as groundnuts which is a name also used for the edible seeds or edible PLANT ROOTS of other genera such as Apios, Vigna, Conopodium, or Macrotyloma.

Arachnodactyly
|
D054119 |
[An abnormal bone development that is characterized by extra long and slender hands and fingers, such that the clenched thumb extends beyond the ulnar side of the hand. Arachnodactyly can include feet and toes. Arachnodactyly has been associated with several gene mutations and syndromes.

Arachnoid
|
D001099 |
[A delicate membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord. It lies between the PIA MATER and the DURA MATER. It is separated from the pia mater by the subarachnoid cavity which is filled with CEREBROSPINAL FLUID.
] |
|
Arachnoid Cysts
|
D016080 |
[Intracranial or spinal cavities containing a cerebrospinal-like fluid, the wall of which is composed of arachnoidal cells. They are most often developmental or related to trauma. Intracranial arachnoid cysts usually occur adjacent to arachnoidal cistern and may present with HYDROCEPHALUS; HEADACHE; SEIZURES; and focal neurologic signs. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch44, pp105-115)

|
Arachnoiditis
|
D001100 |
[Acute or chronic inflammation of the arachnoid membrane of the meninges most often involving the spinal cord or base of the brain. This term generally refers to a persistent inflammatory process characterized by thickening of the ARACHNOID membrane and dural adhesions. Associated conditions include prior surgery, infections, trauma, SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, and chemical irritation. Clinical features vary with the site of inflammation, but include cranial neuropathies, radiculopathies, and myelopathies. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch48, p25)

Aralia
|
D027983 |
[A plant genus in the family Araliaceae.
, A species of Aralia sometimes known by the common name of wild sarsaparilla, which is also the common name of some species such as SMILAX GLAUCA and SCHISANDRA GLABRA.

Araliaceae
|
D027481 |
[A plant genus of the family ARALIACEAE that contains oleanane and ursane glycosides and triterpenoid SAPONINS.
, The ginseng plant family of the order Apiales, subclass Rosidae, class Magnoliopsida. Leaves are generally alternate, large, and compound. Flowers are five-parted and arranged in compound flat-topped umbels. The fruit is a berry or (rarely) a drupe (a one-seeded fruit). It is well known for plant preparations used as adaptogens (immune support and anti-fatigue).
, A plant genus of the family ARALIACEAE that contains cussonosides or sieboldianosides (oleanane saponins).

Araucaria
|
D000080057 |
[A genus of evergreen conifer of the family Araucariaceae, order Pinales, that includes the monkey puzzle (Araucaria araucana).
, A species of conifers commonly referred to as "pine", but does not belong in the genus Pinus. Araucaria angustifolia is widely distributed in Brazil and Argentina.

|
Araucaria araucana
|
D000080059 |
[An evergreen tree commonly known as the monkey-puzzle tree. It grows to 1-1.5 m in diameter and 30-40 m in height, and is native to central and southern Chile, and western Argentina. Araucaria araucana is the hardiest among the conifers, and due to its longevity, is often described as a living fossil.

|
Araucariaceae
|
D000080056 |
[A family of dioecious or monoecious evergreen trees belonging to the order Pinales, subclass Pinidaes, with spirally arranged, narrow or broad leaves often with parallel veins.

|
Arbacia
|
D047308 |
[A species of Atlantic sea urchin.
, A genus of SEA URCHINS in the family Arbaciidae. They have only one spheridium (stalked body) per ambulacral area (contains tube feet); most sea urchins have several spheridia per area.

|
Arbaprostil
|
D001101 |
[A synthetic prostaglandin E analog that protects the gastric mucosa, prevents ulceration, and promotes healing of peptic ulcers. The protective effect is independent of acid inhibition. It is also a potent inhibitor of pancreatic function and can inhibit the growth of experimental tumors.

Arboviruses
|
D001103 |
[Arthropod-borne viruses. A non-taxonomic designation for viruses that can replicate in both vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors. Included are some members of the following families: ARENAVIRIDAE; BUNYAVIRIDAE; REOVIRIDAE; TOGAVIRIDAE; and FLAVIVIRIDAE. (From Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2nd ed)

Arcanobacterium
|
D055667 |
[A genus of facultatively anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria in the family ACTINOMYCETACEAE, order ACTINOMYCETALES. They are obligate parasites of the PHARYNX in humans and farm animals.

Archaea
|
D001105 |
[One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and Eukarya), formerly called Archaebacteria under the taxon Bacteria, but now considered separate and distinct. They are characterized by: (1) the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs; (2) the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls; (3) the presence of ether-linked lipids built from branched-chain subunits; and (4) their occurrence in unusual habitats. While archaea resemble bacteria in morphology and genomic organization, they resemble eukarya in their method of genomic replication. The domain contains at least four kingdoms: CRENARCHAEOTA; EURYARCHAEOTA; NANOARCHAEOTA; and KORARCHAEOTA.
