| pars centralis ventriculi lateralis | The body of the lateral ventricle of the brain, extending from the interventricular foramen (of Monro) to the collateral trigone (i.e., junction of posterior and inferior horns). Synonym: cella media. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars ceratopharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngis medii | See: middle constrictor muscle of pharynx. Synonym: pars ceratopharyngea musculi constrictoris pharyngis medii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cerebralis arteriae carotidis internae | <anatomy, artery> The portion of the internal carotid artery that supplies the brain; its branches are: superior hypophyseal, clival, ophthalmic, anterior choroidal, anterior cerebral, and middle cerebral. Synonym: pars cerebralis arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis arteriae carotidis internae | <anatomy, artery> The unbranched portion located in the neck. Synonym: pars cervicalis arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cervicalis ductus thoracici | The portion of the thoracic duct above the first rib. Synonym: pars cervicalis ductus thoracici. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pars coccygea medullae spinalis | The terminal part of the spinal cord consisting of the three coccygeal segments of the spinal cord from which the three pairs of coccygeal nerves originate. Synonym: pars coccygea medullae spinalis, segmenta medullae spinalis coccygea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pars cochlearis nervi vestibulocochlearis | <anatomy, nerve> The cochlear part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The cochlear nerve fibres originate from neurons of the spiral ganglion and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei of the brainstem. They mediate the sense of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
