Label	Id	Description
Cations, Divalent	D002413	[Positively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms with a valence of plus 2, which travel to the cathode or negative pole during electrolysis.]
Cations, Monovalent	D002414	[Positively charged atoms, radicals or group of atoms with a valence of plus 1, which travel to the cathode or negative pole during electrolysis.]
Cats	D002415	[The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago. (From Walker's Mammals of the World, 6th ed, p801)]
Felis	D045991	[Genus in the family FELIDAE comprised of small felines including the domestic cat, Felis catus (CATS) and its ancestor the wild cat, Felis silvestris.]
Cattell Personality Factor Questionnaire	D002416	[Self report questionnaire which yields 16 scores on personality traits, such as reserved vs. outgoing, humble vs. assertive, etc.]
Personality Inventory	D010555	[Check list, usually to be filled out by a person about himself, consisting of many statements about personal characteristics which the subject checks.]
Cattle	D002417	[Domesticated bovine animals of the genus Bos, usually kept on a farm or ranch and used for the production of meat or dairy products or for heavy labor.]
Animal Diseases	D000820	[Diseases that occur in VERTEBRATE animals.]
Cauda Equina	D002420	[The lower part of the SPINAL CORD consisting of the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal nerve roots.]
Spinal Nerve Roots	D013126	[Paired bundles of NERVE FIBERS entering and leaving the SPINAL CORD at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots are efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC FIBERS.]
Caudate Nucleus	D002421	[Elongated gray mass of the neostriatum located adjacent to the lateral ventricle of the brain.]
Neostriatum	D017072	[The phylogenetically newer part of the CORPUS STRIATUM consisting of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and PUTAMEN. It is often called simply the striatum.]
Causalgia	D002422	[A complex regional pain syndrome characterized by burning pain and marked sensitivity to touch (HYPERESTHESIA) in the distribution of an injured peripheral nerve. Autonomic dysfunction in the form of sudomotor (i.e., sympathetic innervation to sweat glands), vasomotor, and trophic skin changes may also occur. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1359)]
Complex Regional Pain Syndromes	D020918	[Conditions characterized by pain involving an extremity or other body region, HYPERESTHESIA, and localized autonomic dysfunction following injury to soft tissue or nerve. The pain is usually associated with ERYTHEMA; SKIN TEMPERATURE changes, abnormal sudomotor activity (i.e., changes in sweating due to altered sympathetic innervation) or edema. The degree of pain and other manifestations is out of proportion to that expected from the inciting event. Two subtypes of this condition have been described: type I; (REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY) and type II; (CAUSALGIA). (From Pain 1995 Oct;63(1):127-33)]
Cause of Death	D002423	[Factors which produce cessation of all vital bodily functions. They can be analyzed from an epidemiologic viewpoint.]
Mortality	D009026	[All deaths reported in a given population.]
Caustics	D002424	[Strong alkaline chemicals that destroy soft body tissues resulting in a deep, penetrating type of burn, in contrast to corrosives, that result in a more superficial type of damage via chemical means or inflammation. Caustics are usually hydroxides of light metals. SODIUM HYDROXIDE and potassium hydroxide are the most widely used caustic agents in industry. Medically, they have been used externally to remove diseased or dead tissues and destroy warts and small tumors. The accidental ingestion of products (household and industrial) containing caustic ingredients results in thousands of injuries per year.]
Cautery	D002425	[The application of a caustic substance, a hot instrument, an electric current, or other agent to control bleeding while removing or destroying tissue.]
Cavernous Sinus	D002426	[An irregularly shaped venous space in the dura mater at either side of the sphenoid bone.]
Cranial Sinuses	D003392	[Large endothelium-lined venous channels situated between the two layers of DURA MATER, the endosteal and the meningeal layers. They are devoid of valves and are parts of the venous system of dura mater. Major cranial sinuses include a postero-superior group (such as superior sagittal, inferior sagittal, straight, transverse, and occipital) and an antero-inferior group (such as cavernous, petrosal, and basilar plexus).]
