Impression Mold made of the teeth and soft tissues.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Mold
A microscopic fungus that grows and lives on plant or animal matter or on non-organic objects. Most molds are made up of filaments and reproduce through the production of spores, which spread by air, water, or insects.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Impregnation
The process of being rendered pregnant by the intromission of sperm into the uterus and the union of egg and sperm.
Imprinting
Developmental learning of a type first brought to scientific attention in studies of animal behavior by ethologists. Imprinting takes place in a given species when behavior phyletically programmed into the nervous system of that species requires a matching socioenvironmental stimulus to release it, when the matching must take place during a critical or sensitive developmental period (not before or after), and when, having occurred, the resultant behavior pattern is unusually resistant to extinction. In human beings, native language learning is a manifestation of imprinting.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
