| pons hepatis | A bridge of liver tissue that sometimes overlaps the fossa of the inferior vena cava, converting it into a canal. Synonym: ponticulus hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| anterior part of pons | The large ventral part of the pons occupied by the nuclei pontis, traversed longitudinally by corticopontine, corticobulbar, and corticospinal fibres, and transversely by pontocerebellar fibres. Pontocerebellar fibres converging laterally form the middle cerebellar peduncle or brachium pontis. Synonym: pars ventralis pontis, anterior part of pons, basilar part of pons, pars basilaris pontis.

| pons | <anatomy> A rounded eminence off the ventral surface of the brainstem. The origins of cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII are at the border of the pons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pons cerebelli | <anatomy> A rounded eminence off the ventral surface of the brainstem. The origins of cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII are at the border of the pons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pons varolii | <anatomy> A rounded eminence off the ventral surface of the brainstem. The origins of cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII are at the border of the pons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| dorsal part of pons | The part of the pons bounded laterally by the middle cerebellar peduncles and anteriorly by the ventral part of pons; it is continuous with the tegmentum of the mesencephalon and contains long tracts such as the medial and lateral lemnisci, cranial nerve nuclei, and reticular formation. Synonym: pars dorsalis pontis, tegmentum of pons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique bundle of pons | A bundle of fibres in the ventral surface of the pons running from the anterior mesial portion outward and backward. Synonym: fasciculus obliquus pontis, oblique bundle of pons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tegmentum of pons | The part of the pons bounded laterally by the middle cerebellar peduncles and anteriorly by the ventral part of pons; it is continuous with the tegmentum of the mesencephalon and contains long tracts such as the medial and lateral lemnisci, cranial nerve nuclei, and reticular formation. Synonym: pars dorsalis pontis, tegmentum of pons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendix fibrosa hepatis | A fibrous process, into which the tip of the left lobe of the liver may taper out, that passes with the left triangular ligament to be attached to the diaphragm. Synonym: appendix fibrosa hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area nuda hepatis | The area on the posterior surface of the liver which is fused with the diaphragm and therefore not covered by peritoneum. Synonym: area nuda hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria interlobulares (hepatis) | The many terminal branches of the hepatic artery passing between hepatic lobules. Synonym: arteria interlobulares (hepatis). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vas aberrans hepatis | Blind and/or atrophic bile duct remnants in the fibrous appendix and in the capsule of the liver at the margins of the left lobe and the groove for the inferior vena cava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rami laterales rami sinistri venae portae hepatis | Lateral branch of left branch of portal vein. See: lateral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
