allo-, all-

The replacement of lost or damaged bodily tissue with an allograft or surgical substitute of a body part from one individual to a different person: An allotransplantation includes cornea (transparent front of the eye), cartilage (rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints), bone, arteries (vessels that carry blood away from the heart), and cadaver (dead-body) epidermis that is stored in a skin-tissue bank.

Allotransplantation involves the moving of a part from one individual into another one which are usually not related to each other.

A substance that exists and is metastable in two or more physical forms over a given temperature range: Allotropes have different chemical and physical properties, for example graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon.

1. Changed or modification in nutritive power by the process of digestion: Allotrophia refers to the condition of being non-nutritious by the process of digestion.
2. A plants that is dependent upon another organism for nutrition: An allotrophia is heterotrophic and is said to be unable to perform photosynthesis as all saprophytes.

A reference to an organism that obtains nourishment from another organism: An allotrophic plant needs an external supply of food with organic carbon because it is not able to synthesize by itself.

1. In psychiatry, characterizing a person who is preoccupied with what "other people" think, mean, or do: Mary Lou was constantly interested in the feelings and activities of her friends, and did not spend any time for herself.

1. Regarding the property, found in certain substances existing in various different forms that have distinct physical features: Carbon and phosphorus possess allotropous characteristics or attributes. 2. In biology, a reference to nectar being available to a species of insects: The allotropous sweet liquid secretion of flowers attract many different kinds of insects.

The existence of a solid substance in different physical forms: Tin has metallic and non-metallic crystalline forms while carbon has two crystalline allotropies: diamond and graphite.

Of, or relating to, the presence of a foreign agent or substance: While drinking her tea, Lynn observed some allotrylic matter at the bottom of her mug making black bubbles rise to the top.

Any of the genetic variants of a plasma protein or other molecule occurring among members of a single species: An allotype can be any one of the genetic variants of protein that occur in a single species.

The serum from a person with one form of allotype could be antigenic to another person.

The existence of many of the genetic variants of a plasma proteins within a single individual: Alotypy can also occur in other molecules among members of the same species.

The condition of two or more species of parasites occurring on a different host species: In her book, Jill read about alloxeny that referred to different species of parasites, one of which was an entoparasite

The situation of excess purine bases in the blood and associated signs of toxicity: Dr. Lawson told the elderly Mr. Jones that he had a condition of alloxuremia and should avoid drinking coffee, which was also a purine..

The excretion of purine bases in the urine: When the urologist examined Mr. Hill, Dr. Higgens told Mr. Hill that he had a case of alloxuria that should be treated right away.
