Angioscope
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for examining the capillary vessels of animals and plants.
Example Sentences:

(15) The purpose of this study is to describe the use of angioscopes in flowing bloodstreams of animals and humans, to demonstrate the ability to precisely deliver laser energy to an intravascular target using visual guidance and to determine the information content and spatial content of angioscopy.
(16) For percutaneous CA the angioscope was introduced from the femoral artery through a 9F guiding catheter.
(17) A small caliber angioscope with an end capable of being propped up is then pushed within the lumen of the catheter.

(20) The angioscopes are either rigid, composed of two groups of fibre optics (image and light transmission) or orientable and more complex.
Animal
Definition:
(n.) An organized living being endowed with sensation and the power of voluntary motion, and also characterized by taking its food into an internal cavity or stomach for digestion; by giving carbonic acid to the air and taking oxygen in the process of respiration; and by increasing in motive power or active aggressive force with progress to maturity.
(n.) One of the lower animals; a brute or beast, as distinguished from man; as, men and animals.
(a.) Of or relating to animals; as, animal functions.
(a.) Pertaining to the merely sentient part of a creature, as distinguished from the intellectual, rational, or spiritual part; as, the animal passions or appetites.
(a.) Consisting of the flesh of animals; as, animal food.
Example Sentences:

(2) This trend appeared to reverse itself in the low dose animals after 3 hr, whereas in the high dose group, cardiac output continued to decline.
(3) It is supposed that delta-sleep peptide along with other oligopeptides is one of the factors determining individual animal resistance to emotional stress, which is supported by significant delta-sleep peptide increase in hypothalamus in stable rats.

(5) Nutritionally rehabilitated animals had similar numbers of nucleoli to control rats.
(6) After two weeks all animals were killed and autopsies of the animals were performed.
(7) Spectrophotometric determination of the sulfhydryl content in the animal tissue before (control) and after using 6,6'-Dithiodinicotinic acid is applied.
(8) When chimeric animals were subjected to a lethal challenge of endotoxin, their response was markedly altered by the transferred lymphoid cells.
(9) Increased dietary protein intake led to increased MDA per nephron, increased urinary excretion of MDA, and increased MDA per milligram protein in subtotally nephrectomized animals, and markedly increased the glutathione redox ratio.
