| folliculi lymphatici lienales | Small nodular masses of lymphoid tissue attached to the sides of the smaller arterial branches. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici lienales, malpighian bodies, malpighian corpuscles, malpighian glands, malpighian nodules, splenic corpuscles, splenic lymph nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |

| folliculi lymphatici solitarii | Minute collections of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the small and large intestines, being especially numerous in the caecum and appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici solitarii, solitary follicles, solitary glands, solitary nodules of intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalis gastrici | Furrow formed temporarily between longitudinal rugae of the gastric mucosa along the lesser curvature during swallowing; observed radiographically and endoscopically, it is formed because of the firm attachment of the gastric mucosa to the muscular layer, which is devoid of an oblique layer at this site; said to form a passageway favoured by saliva and small quantities of masticated food and other fluids as they flow from cardia to gastroduodenal junction. Synonym: canalis gastricus, canalis gastrici, magenstrasse. (05 Mar 2000) |

| rami gastrici posteriores nervi vagi | Posterior gastric branches; branches of the posterior vagal trunk to the posterior surface of the stomach. Synonym: rami gastrici posteriores nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plexus gastrici systematis autonomici | The plexus's along the greater and lesser curvatures of the stomach derived from the coeliac plexus; also known as inferior and superior plexus. Synonym: plexus gastrici systematis autonomici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrae obliquae gastrici | The smooth muscle fibres of the innermost layer of the muscular coat of the stomach; the fibres occur chiefly at the cardiac end of the stomach and spread over the anterior and posterior surfaces. Synonym: fibrae obliquae gastrici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atresia folliculi | A normal process affecting the primordial ovarian follicles in which death of the ovum results in cystic degeneration followed by cicatricial closure. (05 Mar 2000) |
