TOPIC STARTER
Christine. I had a look, but I couldn't find one containing anatomy which is what I am really looking for. My ES vendor told me that in Spanish 'spine' is called 'médula', and I just wanted to find an ES definition/description of 'médula' so that I could convince her that she is not right.
Googling a little more I found this site which contained a definition of 'médula': www.definicion.org.

* A spine is a rigid, pointed surface protrubance or needle-like structure on an animal, shell, or plant, presumably serving as a defense against attack by predators. For examples: the quills of a porcupine, the needles of a cactus, or the thorns of a shrub like the rose are all spines. Although spines generally serve as a passive defense mechanism, in some species they can be hollow and contain poisonous substances that cause lasting pain or even paralysis.

| Médula espinal= spinal cord | Mar 28, 2007 |
Peter, I think her confussion comes from this: "médula espinal" is spinal cord in English, but in that case spinal would be "espinal" not "médula" , which in this case would be translated as cord, although in other instances is medulla, like in "adrenal medulla" (médula adrenal), or marrow, like in "bone marrow" (médula ósea).
Hope this helps.
Roxanna

Hi Peter,
Above, in the drop-down menu under "Community", extract the GlossPost interface. Set languages Spanish to Spanish and choose (one at a time) Medicine as a general field, or Biology or any related science as specific categories. You can also try keyword searching. There are over 8,000 links filed under this system, you're bound to find something.
I know for a fact we have several cancer resources, and we even have a new genome term base.
