Achalasia referring to smooth muscle fibers at any junction of the
gastrointestinal tract
Acinus (root: berry) = a small sac-like structure
(root: sharp) = a disease with sudden onset of signs and
Acute
a short course.
(gland)(cancer)(tumor) = a malignant tumor originating
Adenocarcinoma
in glandular tissue.
(gland) (condition) = a disease of a gland, often marked
Adenosis by the abnormal formation or enlargement of glandular
tissue.
(to, toward) (connection) (pertaining to) = appendages
Adnexal or accessory structures of an organ, e.g. of the uterus,
including the uterine tubes and ligaments and ovaries.
