| 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) |
| transverse tibiofibular ligament | <anatomy> The distal continuation of the interosseous membrane forming a strong ligament that unites the distal end of the tibia and fibula; it lies deep to the posterior tibiofibular ligament. Synonym: interosseous tibiofibular ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse tubule | <cell biology> Invagination of the plasma membrane (sarcolemma) of striated muscle that lies between two tubular portions of the endoplasmic (sarcoplasmic) reticulum to form a triad of membrane profiles adjacent to the A band/I band junction in some cases, in other cases to the Z disc, of the resting sarcomere. Depolarisation of the T tubule membrane triggers the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and eventually muscle contraction. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transverse vein of face | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the superficial temporal or retromandibular veins, anastomosing with the facial vein. Synonym: vena transversa faciei, transverse vein of face. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse vein of scapula | <anatomy, vein> Vein that accompanies the suprascapular artery and empties into the external jugular vein. Synonym: vena suprascapularis, transverse vein of scapula, vena transversa scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse veins of neck | Venae comitantes of the corresponding arteries, emptying into the external jugular vein or sometimes into the subclavian vein. Synonym: venae transversae colli, transverse veins of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse velum | A fold in the dorsal wall of the embryonic brain at the boundary between the telencephalon and diencephalon. Synonym: velum transversum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse vesical fold | A duplication of peritoneum passing over the empty bladder, but obliterated when the viscus is full. Synonym: plica vesicalis transversa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse wave | <radiobiology> Waves in which the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular (transverse) to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include plucked strings and electromagnetic waves in free space or air. (09 Oct 1997) |
| foramen of transverse process | Foramen processus transversus. Synonym: foramen processus transversi, foramen transversarium, foramen vertebroarterialis, foramen of transverse process, vertebroarterial foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbott's artery | <anatomy, artery> An anomalous artery arising from the posteromedial proximal descending aorta, important during coarctation repair. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant artery | Artery having an unusual origin or course. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant obturator artery | See: pubic branch of inferior epigastric artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
