| folium | Origin: L, a leaf. 1. A leaf, especially. A thin leaf or plate. 2. <geometry> A curve of the third order, consisting of two infinite branches, which have a common asymptote. The curve has a double point, and a leaf-shaped loop; whence the name. Its equation is x^3 + y^3 = axy. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| vena vermis inferior | A vein draining part of the inferior part of the cerebellum; it courses on the inferior surface of the vermis and terminates in the straight sinus. Synonym: vena vermis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena vermis superior | A vein draining part of the superior part of the cerebellum; it runs on the superior surface of the vermis to terminate in the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena vermis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vermis | 1. A worm; any structure or part resembling a worm in shape. 2. The narrow middle zone between the two hemispheres of the cerebellum; the portion projecting above the level of the hemispheres on the upper surface is called the superior vermis; the lower portion, sunken between the two hemispheres and forming the floor of the vallecula, is the inferior vermis. Origin: L. Worm (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramid of vermis | A subdivision of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum between the tuber and the uvula. Synonym: pyramis vermis, cerebellar pyramid. Pyramid of vestibule, the upper triangular extremity of the crista vestibuli. Synonym: pyramis vestibuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramis vermis | A subdivision of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum between the tuber and the uvula. Synonym: pyramis vermis, cerebellar pyramid. Pyramid of vestibule, the upper triangular extremity of the crista vestibuli. Synonym: pyramis vestibuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior vein of vermis | A vein draining part of the superior part of the cerebellum; it runs on the superior surface of the vermis to terminate in the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena vermis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior vein of vermis | A vein draining part of the inferior part of the cerebellum; it courses on the inferior surface of the vermis and terminates in the straight sinus. Synonym: vena vermis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuber of vermis | The posterior division of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum located between the folium and the pyramis. Synonym: tuber dorsale, tuber of vermis, tuber valvulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuber vermis | The posterior division of the inferior vermis of the cerebellum located between the folium and the pyramis. Synonym: tuber dorsale, tuber of vermis, tuber valvulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uvula vermis | A triangular elevation on the vermis of the cerebellum, lying between the two tonsils anterior to the pyramis. Synonym: uvula cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
