A complex nitrogenous substance, which, by Hermann's hypothesis, is continually decomposed and reproduced in the muscles, during their life.

An albuminous substance existing in the blood, and in other animal fluids, which either alone or with fibrinoplastin or paraglobulin forms fibrin, and thus causes coagulation.

Possessed of properties similar to fibrinogen; capable of forming fibrin.

Same as Mucigen.

The antecedent of the ferment pepsin. A substance contained in the form of granules in the peptic cells of the gastric glands. It is readily convertible into pepsin. Also called propepsin.

A hypothetical radical of quinine and related alkaloids.

Pertaining to the urinary and genital organs; genitourinary; urogenital; as, the urinogenital canal.

luble product (proteose) formed in the gastric and pancreatic digestion of casein and caseinogen.

fibrous substance, formed in the coagulation of the blood either by decomposition of fibrinogen, or from the union of fibrinogen and paraglobulin which exist separately in the blood. It is insoluble in water, but is readily digestible in gastric and pancreatic juice.

Like fibrinoplastin; capable of forming fibrin when brought in contact with fibrinogen.

An albuminous substance, existing in the blood, which in combination with fibrinogen forms fibrin; -- called also paraglobulin.

plural the word is applied to a group of proteid substances such as vitellin, myosin, fibrinogen, etc., all insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute salt solutions.

A segmental tubule; one of the tubules of the primitive urinogenital organs; a segmental organ. See Illust. under Loeven's larva.

The region which is included within the outlet of the pelvis, and is traversed by the urinogenital canal and the rectum.

ody, separated by some physiologists from blood plasma. It is probably identical with fibrinogen.

See Persinogen.

The fibrin ferment which produces the formation of fibrin from fibrinogen.
