| interlobular septum | The connective tissue between pulmonary lobules, usually containing a vein and lymphatics; seen radiographically when thickened as a Kerley B line. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| intermediate cervical septum | A thin septum composed of glia fibre and leptomeningeal connective tissue in the cervical spinal cord marking the border between the gracile fasciculi and cuneatus of the dorsal funiculus. Synonym: septum cervicale intermedium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermuscular septum | <anatomy> A term applied to aponeurotic sheets separating various muscles of the limbs; these are anterior and posterior crural, lateral and medial femoral, lateral and medial humeral. Synonym: septum intermusculare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interpulmonary septum | <anatomy> The space in the thoracic cavity behind the sternum and in between the two pleural sacs (containing the lungs). (27 Sep 1997) |
| interventricular septum | The stout wall separating the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart fromone another. A hole in the interventricular septum is termed a ventricular septal defect (vsd). (12 Dec 1998) |
| orbital septum | A fibrous membrane attached to the margin of the orbit and extending into the lids, containing the orbital fat and constituting in great part the posterior fascia of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Synonym: septum orbitale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transparent septum | A thin plate of brain tissue, containing nerve cells and numerous nerve fibres, that is stretched like a flat, vertical sheet between the column and body of fornix below, the corpus callosum above and anteriorly; it is usually fused in the median plane with its partner on the opposite side so as to form a thin, median partition between the left and right frontal horn of the lateral ventricles; in less than 10% of humans there is a blind, slitlike, fluid-filled space between the two transparent septa, the cavity of septum pellucidum. The transparent septum is continuous ventralward through the interval between the corpus callosum and the anterior commissure with the precommissural septum and subcallosal gyrus. See: cavity of septum pellucidum, septal area. Synonym: septum pellucidum, septum lucidum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endovenous septum | Septum endovenosum, a remnant of the primitive separation between veins which fused to form a definitive trunk, such as the trunk leading to the left common iliac and the left renal veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse septum | The mesodermal mass separating the pericardial and peritoneal cavities; it is covered with mesothelium except where intimately associated with the liver which originally develops within it; the septum is definitively incorporated into the diaphragm as the central tendon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femoral septum | The delicate fibrous membrane that closes the femoral ring at the base of the femoral canal. Synonym: septum femorale, Cloquet's septum, crural septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital septum | The coronally placed ridge formed by the caudal portion of the urogenital ridges fusing in the midline of the embryo; it lies between the hindgut dorsally and the bladder ventrally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urorectal septum | In embryos, a partition dividing the cloaca into a dorsal, rectal portion and a ventral portion called the urogenital sinus; reaching the cloacal membrane at about the time of its disintegration, the urorectal septum divides the cloacal exit into an anal and a urogenital orifice. Synonym: urorectal fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina of septum pellucidum | One of the two thin layers of the transparent septum, which extend from the corpus callosum to the fornix; often separated from each other by a space, the cavity of septum pellucidum. Synonym: lamina septi pellucidi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual septum | The median vertical fibrous partition of the tongue merging posteriorly into the aponeurosis of the tongue. Synonym: septum linguae, septum of tongue. (05 Mar 2000) |
