All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Traction	NCIT_C21119	[The application of pulling forces to improve functional alignment.]
Radiograph	NCIT_C60727	[An image produced on a radiosensitive surface by x-ray radiation that has penetrated and passed through a structure.]
Medical Image	NCIT_C19477	[Any record of a medical imaging event whether physical or electronic.]
Tooth 19	NCIT_C60728	[The first, permanent, six-year molar of the lower left arch as defined by the Universal tooth numbering system.]
Lower Jaw Molar	NCIT_C49584	[Any of the molars located in the mandible.]
TNFSF15 Gene	NCIT_C21113	[This gene plays an inhibitory role in angiogenesis regulation.]
Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Gene	NCIT_C21114	[Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Genes encode Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Protein, structurally related cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte homeostasis by induction of apoptosis.]
Intercellular Communication Process	NCIT_C16395	[Any process by which signals are passed from one cell to another through a direct multicellular interaction. This process is involved widely in communication, and is seen in immune response, neuronal transmission, inflammation and other processes.]
Negative Regulation of Angiogenesis	NCIT_C26044	[Processes and mechanisms that block angiogenesis.]
Inhibition of Cell Proliferation	NCIT_C20751	[Inhibition of Cell Proliferation involves intercellular, cellular, and subcellular mechanisms that inhibit or block the induction, promotion, maintenance, or completion cell division.]
Fiber Optic Transilluminator	NCIT_C60721	[A light, with glass or plastic fibers which have special optical properties usually attached to a dental handpiece that is intended to illuminate oral structures.]
Instrumentation	NCIT_C16742	[Any object, or item of electrical or electronic equipment, which is designed to carry out a specific function or set of functions.]
Cytokine Gene	NCIT_C21550	[Cytokines are soluble glycoproteins released by cells of the immune system, which act nonenzymatically through specific receptors to regulate immune responses. Cytokines resemble hormones in that they act at low concentrations and bind with high affinity to a specific receptor.]
Cell Death Process	NCIT_C41515	[The cellular process resulting in permanent cessation of all vital functions of a cell.]
Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Binding	NCIT_C40550	[A process that involves the binding of any member of the tumor necrosis factor family to a cognate receptor. These interactions are involved in regulation of signaling cascades that mediate inflammation, immune cell functions and organogenesis.]
Cell Proliferation Regulatory Process	NCIT_C20750	[Cell Proliferation Regulation involves intercellular, cellular, and subcellular mechanisms that determine when and whether cell division occurs.]
Tumor Necrosis Factor Signaling Process	NCIT_C40589	[Any process which promotes expression of tumor necrosis factors, their subsequent secretion, binding to cognate receptors and intracellular signaling, and results in promoting insulin resistance, fever and macrophage phagocytosis, stimulating the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal axis and acute phase responses, and suppressing appetite. This process is involved in coordinating systemic responses to pathogenic infection.]
Gingival Margin	NCIT_C60722	[The crest of the gingiva surrounding a tooth.]
Head and Neck Part	NCIT_C38617	[Any component associated with of the base of the skull and facial bones, sinuses, orbits, salivary glands, oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, thyroid, facial and neck musculature and lymph nodes draining these areas.]
Gingiva	NCIT_C32677	[The soft tissue surrounding the neck of individual teeth as well as covering the alveolar bone. The tissue is fibrous and continuous with the periodontal ligament and mucosal covering.]
