| lateral lakes | Lateral expansions of the superior sagittal sinus of the dura mater, often increasing in width with advancing age until, in the very old, they may extend two centimeters lateral to the midline; the endothelium-lined lumen of the lacunae are usually reduced to a spongelike labyrinth by numerous arachnoid granulations and dural trabeculae. Synonym: lacunae laterales, lateral lacunae, lateral lakes, parasinoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | The narrow lateral portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube.

| lateral layer of cartilaginous auditory tube | The narrow lateral portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina lateralis cartilaginis tubae auditivae, lamina cartilaginis lateralis tubae auditivae, lateral cartilaginous layer, lateral layer of cartilaginous auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral lemniscus | A bundle of ascending fibres that originate from the cochlear and auditory relay nuclei of the rhombencephalon, enter the trapezoid body, a transverse fibre stratum in which about half their number decussate, and from here turn rostrally along the lateral side of the spinothalamic tract; in the midbrain, it arches dorsally and enters the inferior colliculus in which all of its fibres terminate; the auditory pathway is transsynaptically extended from here by the brachium of the inferior colliculus to the medial geniculate body of the thalamus, from which in turn the auditory radiation leads to the auditory cortex; intercalated in the trapezoid body and along the ascending trajectory of the lemniscus are several cell groups in which part of the fibres synapse. Synonym: lemniscus lateralis, acoustic lemniscus, auditory lemniscus, auditory tract, lateral fillet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of elbow | The ligament that connects the lateral epicondyle of the humerus with the annular ligament of the radius. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale radiale, lateral ligament of elbow, radial collateral ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of knee | <anatomy> The cordlike ligament that passes from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale fibulare, lateral ligament of knee, Winslow's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of malleus | A short fan-shaped ligament converging from the posterior half of the tympanic notch to the neck of the malleus. Synonym: ligamentum mallei laterale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of temporomandibular joint | <anatomy> The capsular ligament that passes obliquely down and backward across the lateral surface of the temporomandibular joint. Synonym: ligamentum laterale articulationis temporomandibularis, Ferrein's ligament, lateral ligament of temporomandibular joint, ligamentum temporomandibulare, temporomandibular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament of wrist | The ligament that extends distally from the styloid process of the radius to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale carpi radiale, external collateral ligament of wrist, lateral ligament of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral ligament, ankle | Three ligamentous fasciculi present on the lateral side of the ankle joint considered collectively: pars tibiocalcanea (the calcaneotibial ligament), pars tibiotalaris anterior (the anterior talotibial ligament), pars tibiotalaris posterior (the posterior talotibial ligament). It is a common site of injury. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lateral ligaments of the bladder | Condensations of fibroareolar tissue which pass one from each side of the bladder to blend with the pelvic fascia; smooth muscle is usually present in this tissue and is referred to as the musculus rectovesicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral limb | Limb or leg-like portion of a structure, farthest from midline. Synonym: crus laterale, lateral limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral line sense organ | A structure in fish consisting of a long groove or canal extending along each side of the trunk and tail and branching in the head region; the groove or tube is lined with neuroepithelial cells, some of which are in groups known as neuromasts; its function appears to be the detection of vibrations of low frequency. Synonym: neuromast organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral line system | A series of sense organs that detect pressure or vibrations along the head and side of cyclostomes, fishes, and some amphibians. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral lingual swellings | In the embryo, paired oval elevations that appear in the floor of the mouth at mandibular arch level; the primordial elevations, composed of mesenchyme covered by ectoderm of stomodeal origin, merge to form the greater part of the anterior two thirds of the tongue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latent period |
1. The period between infection and the appearance of new inoculum. (See incubation period.) 2. Elapsed time between phage infection or induction and lysis of bacterial cells. 3. Period after acquisition of virus by a vector before it becomes infective. (8, 24)

| LAT |
Short for Local Area Transport, a DEC proprietary Ethernet protocol for connecting terminals to a LAN. Connections are typically between a DEC terminal server and a VAX. LAT operates at the transport layer. LAT is not routable because it lacks a network layer and therefore must be bridged in an enterprise network instead of routed.

| latency |
(1) In general, the period of time that one component in a system is spinning its wheels waiting for another component. Latency, therefore, is wasted time. For example, in accessing data on a disk, latency is defined as the time it takes to position the proper sector under the read/write head.
