Alphabetic Listing of MeSH

The alphabetic section of this publication contains the subject headingsarranged in alphabetic order with cross-references. Consider also references have been established for many terms to suggest additional possibilities in locating concepts. Consider also references denote the presence of linguistically-related concepts. For example, the heading KIDNEY has a reference "consider also terms at GLOMERUL , NEPHR , PYEL , and RENAL."

When a group of terms share a basic concept, they may be arranged alphabetically under that concept and thus direct natural-language sequence is not always used. For example, tuberculosis in its various forms and relationships is expressed by a series of headings starting with TUBERCULOSIS (TUBERCULOSIS, AVIAN; TUBERCULOSIS, BOVINE).
