| third 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) |
| tibial border of foot | The inner border of the foot extending from heel to the great toe. Synonym: margo medialis pedis, margo tibialis pedis, tibial border of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal convolutions | Two or three convolutions running transversely on the upper surface of the temporal lobe bordering on the lateral (sylvian) fissure, separated from each other by the transverse temporal sulci. Synonym: gyri temporales transversi, Heschl's gyri, transverse temporal convolutions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal gyri | Two or three convolutions running transversely on the upper surface of the temporal lobe bordering on the lateral (sylvian) fissure, separated from each other by the transverse temporal sulci. Synonym: gyri temporales transversi, Heschl's gyri, transverse temporal convolutions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse temporal sulci | The shallow sulci that demarcate the transverse temporal gyri on the opercular surface of the superior temporal gyrus. Synonym: sulci temporales transversi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilepsy, temporal lobe | Epileptic seizures characterised by simple partial seizures, complex partial seizures, and secondary generalised seizures, or combinations of these. Seizures may present with autonomic and/or psychic symptoms and certain sensory phenomena such as olfactory and auditory. most common is an epigastric rising sensation. Some seizures may begin with motor arrest and continue with oro-alimentary automatisms (with other automatisms following). Attacks are followed by amnesia and recovery is gradual. Usually, there is a history of febrile seizures in the individual or a history of seizures in the family. Seizures occur in clusters, randomly, or at intervals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| first temporal convolution | A longitudinal gyrus on the lateral surface of the temporal lobe between the lateral (sylvian) fissure and the superior temporal sulcus. Synonym: gyrus temporalis superior, first temporal convolution, superior temporal convolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacrimal border of maxilla | The margin of the nasal surface of the maxilla that articulates with the lacrimal bone. Synonym: margo lacrimalis maxillae, lacrimal margin of maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral border | The margin or edge of a structure which is farthest from the midline. Synonym: margo lateralis, lateral margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral border of foot | The border of the foot between the small toe and the heel. Synonym: margo lateralis pedis, margo fibularis pedis, fibular margin of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral border of forearm | An imaginary line running along the outermost extent of the forearm separating anterior and posterior surfaces laterally. Synonym: margo lateralis antebrachii, margo radialis antebrachii, radial border of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral border of humerus | The ridge on the humerus that extends from the greater tubercle to the lateral epicondyle. Synonym: margo lateralis humerii. (05 Mar 2000) |
