| cistern of lateral fossa of cerebrum | An elongated expansion of the subarachnoid space where the arachnoid bridges over the opening of the Sylvian fissure. Synonym: cisterna fossae lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cornua of lateral ventricle | See: anterior horn, inferior horn of lateral ventricle, cornu posterius ventriculi lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of lateral cerebral sulcus | The long, posteriorly-directed continuation of the lateral cerebral sulcus which extends between the temporal lobe inferiorly and the parietal lobe superiorly, its termination surrounded by the supramarginal gyrus. Synonym: ramus posterior sulci lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cross-table lateral projection | <radiology> Lateral projection radiography of a supine subject using a horizontal X-ray beam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior lateral nasal arteries | Branches of the sphenopalatine artery that supply the posterior parts of the conchae and lateral nasal wall. Synonym: arteriae nasales posteriores laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary lateral sclerosis | Considered by many to be a subgroup of motor neuron disease; a slowly progressive degenerative disorder of the motor neurons of the cerebral cortex, resulting in widespread weakness on an upper motor neuron basis; spasticity, hyperreflexia, and Babinski signs are present, but not fasciculation potentials, nor any electrodiagnostic evidence of a lower motor neuron lesion. Synonym: lateral spinal sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominence of lateral saemicircular canal | The slight bulge in the medial wall of the epitympanic recess caused by the proximity of the lateral saemicircular canal. Synonym: prominentia canalis saemicircularis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| X-ray, lateral | An X-ray picture taken from the side. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subcutaneous bursa of lateral malleolus | lateral malleolar subcutaneous bursa |
| nucleus of lateral geniculate body | Nucleus of the thalamus characterised by six layers of cells, two parvicellular, four magnocellular, alternating with thin layers of fibres; receives bilateral visual input, projects to calcarine cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus of lateral lemniscus | A substantial cell mass embedded in the lateral lemniscus, immediately below the latter's entry into the inferior colliculus; the nucleus represents a synaptic way-station for part of the fibres of the lateral lemniscus. Synonym: nucleus lemnisci lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial branch of the lateral plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Mostly cutaneous branch to skin of small and lateral half of fourth toes and lateral side of sole of foot, but also supplies the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle and the most lateral dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery | <anatomy, artery> A major branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery accompanying the nerve to the vastus lateralis muscle along the anterior border of that muscle and deep to the rectus femoris muscle, supplying both muscles. Anastomosis: with lateral superior genicular artery, i.e., it contributes to the articular network of the knee. Synonym: ramus descendens arteriae circumflexae femoris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
