| superior frontal sulcus | A sagittal fissure on the superior surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum starting from the precentral sulcus; it forms the lateral boundary of the superior frontal convolution. Synonym: sulcus frontalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| median frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle frontal sulcus | A relatively shallow sagittal fissure of the brain dividing the middle frontal convolution into an upper and lower part; this sulcus is found only in humans and anthropoid apes; at its anterior extremity it bifurcates, the two branches spreading out laterally and constituting the frontomarginal sulcus. Synonym: median frontal sulcus, sulcus frontalis medius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior frontal sulcus | A sagittal fissure on the lateral convex surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum demarcating the middle from the inferior frontal gyrus. Synonym: sulcus frontalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior frontal convolution | A broad convolution running in an anteroposterior direction on the medial edge of the convex surface and of each frontal lobe. Synonym: gyrus frontalis superior, marginal gyrus, superior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior frontal gyrus | A broad convolution running in an anteroposterior direction on the medial edge of the convex surface and of each frontal lobe. Synonym: gyrus frontalis superior, marginal gyrus, superior frontal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus frontalis superior | A sagittal fissure on the superior surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum starting from the precentral sulcus; it forms the lateral boundary of the superior frontal convolution. Synonym: sulcus frontalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus occipitalis superior | One of several small and variable sulci bordering the superior occipital gyri on the upper aspect of the occipital lobe of the cerebrum. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus temporalis superior | The longitudinal sulcus that separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Synonym: sulcus temporalis superior, superior temporal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior longitudinal sulcus | The groove in the midline of the inner table of the calvaria lodging the superior sagittal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus sagittalis superioris, sagittal groove, sagittal sulcus, superior longitudinal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior occipital sulcus | One of several small and variable sulci bordering the superior occipital gyri on the upper aspect of the occipital lobe of the cerebrum. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior petrosal sulcus | A groove on the crest of the petrous portion of the temporal bone in which rests the superior petrosal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus petrosi superioris, superior petrosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior pulmonary sulcus tumour | <oncology, tumour> Tumour originating from the superior sulcus of the lung that invades all or a portion of the brachial plexus. (16 Dec 1997) |
| superior temporal sulcus | The longitudinal sulcus that separates the superior and middle temporal gyri. Synonym: sulcus temporalis superior, superior temporal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior branch of the superior gluteal artery | <anatomy, artery> Runs between gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplying both, and continuing to reach tensor fascia lata muscle. Synonym: ramus superior arteriae gluteae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
