| filiform adnatum | Congenital adhesion of the upper and lower eyelid by bands of tissue. Synonym: filiform adnatum. Origin: ankylo-+ G. Blepharon, eyelid (05 Mar 2000) |
| filiform bougie | A very slender bougie usually used for gentle exploration of strictures or sinus tracts of small diameter where false passages can be encountered or created; the entering end can consist of either a straight or spiral tip, and the trailing end usually consists of a threaded cylinder into which the screw tip of a following bougie can be inserted. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filiform nucleus | A triangular group of large magnocellular neurons in the periventricular zone of the anterior half of the hypothalamus. The cells of the nucleus are similar to those of the supraoptic nucleus; the axons of about 20% of their number join in the formation of the supraopticohypophysial tract and are functionally associated with the posterior lobe of the hypophysis; they project fibres to the brainstem nuclei (dorsal motor nucleus and solitary nucleus) and to the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord at thoracic, lumbar, and spinal levels; similar descending autonomic fibres arise from the lateral and posterior hypothalamic nuclei. Synonym: nucleus paraventricularis, filiform nucleus, nucleus filiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filiform polyposis | <radiology> Benign, non-specific sequela of diffuse, severe mucosal inflammation, UC, Crohn's, XR: thin, straight filling defects, resembles stalks of polyps without heads (12 Dec 1998) |
| filiform pulse | A thready pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| filiform wart | A wart composed of a single or many greatly elongated papillae; appears more commonly on the face and neck. Synonym: filiform wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area cribrosa papillae renalis | The apex of a renal papilla pierced by 10 to 22 openings of the papillary ducts, the foramina papillaria. Synonym: area cribrosa papillae renalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillae conicae | Numerous projections on the dorsum of the tongue, scattered among the filiform papillae and similar to them, but shorter. Synonym: papillae conicae, conic papillae. Papillae corii An alternate term for dermal papillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillae dermis | The superficial projections of the dermis (corium) that interdigitate with recesses in the overlying epidermis; they contain vascular loops and specialised nerve endings, and are arranged in ridgelike lines best developed in the hand and foot. Synonym: papillae dermis, papillae corii, papillae of corium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillae filiformes | Curved tapering cone shaped body on the tongue of rodents, of which the epithelial cell columns have been investigated in detail. (18 Nov 1997) |
| papillae foliatae | Numerous projections arranged in several transverse folds upon the lateral margins of the tongue just in front of the palatoglossus muscle. Synonym: papillae foliatae, folia linguae. Fungiform papillae, numerous minute elevations on the dorsum of the tongue, of a fancied mushroom shape, the tip being broader than the base; the epithelium of many of these papillae has taste buds. Synonym: papillae fungiformes, clavate papillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillae fungiformes | fungiform papillae |
| papillae of corium | The superficial projections of the dermis (corium) that interdigitate with recesses in the overlying epidermis; they contain vascular loops and specialised nerve endings, and are arranged in ridgelike lines best developed in the hand and foot. Synonym: papillae dermis, papillae corii, papillae of corium. (05 Mar 2000) |
