| inferior temporal convolution | A sagittal convolution on the inferolateral border of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum, separated from the middle temporal gyrus by the inferior temporal sulcus. On the inferior surface of the temporal lobe it is separated from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus by the occipitotemporal sulcus. It includes the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis inferior, inferior temporal convolution, third temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal gyrus | A sagittal convolution on the inferolateral border of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum, separated from the middle temporal gyrus by the inferior temporal sulcus. On the inferior surface of the temporal lobe it is separated from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus by the occipitotemporal sulcus. It includes the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis inferior, inferior temporal convolution, third temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal line | The lower of two curved lines on the parietal bone; it marks the outer limit of attachment of the temporalis muscle. Synonym: linea temporalis inferior, temporal ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal sulcus | The sulcus on the basal aspect of the temporal lobe that separates the fusiform gyrus from the inferior temporal gyrus on its lateral side. Synonym: sulcus temporalis inferior, Clevenger's fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior temporal venule of retina | The small vein that passes from the lower lateral (temporal) part of the retina to enter the central vein. Synonym: venula temporalis retinae inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the insular part of the middle cerebral artery supplying the cortex of the temporal lobe between the anterior and posterior temporal arteries. Synonym: arteria temporalis intermedia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border | Edge of a bone to which a fibrous (interosseous) membrane is attached, by which the bone becomes attached to another bone. See: interosseous border of fibula, interosseous border of radius, interosseous border of tibia, interosseous border of ulna. Synonym: margo interosseus, interosseous crest, interosseous margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border of fibula | The ridge along the medial border of the fibula to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus fibulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border of radius | The ridge along the medial side of the radius to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus radii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border of tibia | The ridge along the lateral border of the tibia to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus tibiae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous border of ulna | The ridge along the lateral side of the body of the ulna to which is attached the interosseous membrane. Synonym: margo interosseus ulnae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital border | Edge of a bone which articulates with the occipital bone. See: occipital border of parietal bone, occipital border of temporal bone. Synonym: margo occipitalis, occipital margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occult border of nail | The proximal border of the nail entirely covered by the nail wall. Synonym: margo occultus unguis, occult border of nail. (05 Mar 2000) |
| temporal | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the temple or temples; as, the temporal bone; a temporal artery. Temporal bone, a very complex bone situated in the side of the skull of most mammals and containing the organ of hearing. It consists of an expanded squamosal portion above the ear, corresponding to the squamosal and zygoma of the lower vertebrates, and a thickened basal petrosal and mastoid portion, corresponding to the periotic and tympanic bones of the lower vertebrates. Origin: L. Temporalis, fr. Tempora the temples: cf. F. Temporal. See Temple a part of the head. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
