Soma

 

a term introduced by the German zoologist A. Weismann to designate the body of an organism, in contrast to the germ plasm, that is transmitted from generation to generation through the sex cells (seeGERM TRACK). Weismann maintained that the soma could not affect the characteristics of the germ plasm. The differentiation of an organism into soma and germ plasm (the hereditary substance) proves that it is impossible to inherit characteristics acquired as a result of environmental conditions during an organism’s development (seeACQUIRED CHARACTER). The adjective “somatic” is used to indicate physical phenomena as opposed to phenomena of a psychological nature.

soma

[′sō·mə] (biology) The whole of the body of an individual, excluding the germ tract.

soma

drug that induces forgetfulness. [Br. Lit.: Brave New World]See: Forgetfulness

Patient discussion about soma

Q. what are the side effects from taking soma and flexerill together? the person who takes it is almost comatos for a couple of hours.What is a substition?A. Both medication cause drowsiness in high frequency and both are not recommended together with other medications that may cause drowsiness. However, I know practically nothing about the patient in this case, so in my opinion consulting his or her doctor may be wise - trying to solve this problem over the net is both inaccurate and irresponsible in my opinion,
Take care,
