| thr | thyroid, thyroidectomy |
| THRA | thyroid hormone receptor alpha |
| THUG | thyroid uptake gradient |
| Y cartilage | Y-shaped cartilage, the connecting cartilage for the ilium, ischium, and pubis; it extends through the acetabulum. Synonym: hypsiloid cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| yellow cartilage | A cartilage in which the cells are surrounded by a territorial capsular matrix outside of which is an interterritorial matrix containing elastic fibre networks in addition to the collagen fibres and ground substance. Synonym: yellow cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uniting cartilage | The cartilage in a cartilaginous joint such as the symphysis pubis. Synonym: interosseous cartilage, uniting cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| floating cartilage | A loose piece of cartilage within a joint cavity, detached from the articular cartilage or from a meniscus. Synonym: loose cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cartilage | Cartilaginous plates that extend above the hoof from the caudal angles of the distal phalanx of the horse; they are readily palpated under the skin of the sides of the hoof and assist in distributing the animal's weight during locomotion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cartilage of nose | The cartilage located in the lateral wall of the nose above the alar cartilage. Synonym: cartilago nasi lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral crus of the greater alar cartilage of the nose | Portion of cartilage extending laterally and posteriorly in a wing-like fashion, supporting the wing of the nose and keeping the nostril patent. Synonym: crus laterale cartilaginis alaris majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| loose cartilage | A loose piece of cartilage within a joint cavity, detached from the articular cartilage or from a meniscus. Synonym: loose cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Luschka's cartilage | A small cartilaginous nodule sometimes found in the anterior portion of the vocal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alar lamina of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basal lamina of choroid | The transparent, nearly structureless inner layer of the choroid in contact with the pigmented layer of the retina. Synonym: basal lamina of choroid, basal layer of choroid, Bruch's membrane, Henle's membrane, lamina vitrea, vitreous lamella, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina of ciliary body | The inner layer of the ciliary body, continuous with the basal layer of the choroid and supporting the pigment epithelium of the ciliary retina. Synonym: lamina basalis corporis ciliaris, basal layer of ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina of cochlear | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basal lamina of neural tube | The ventral division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it contains neuroblasts giving rise to somatic and visceral motor neurons. Synonym: lamina basalis, basal plate of neural tube, lamina ventralis, ventral plate of neural tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
