| sulcus of corpus callosum | The fissure between the corpus callosum and the cingulate gyrus. Synonym: sulcus corporis callosi, callosal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sulcus of occipital artery | A narrow groove medial to the mastoid notch of the temporal bone that lodges the occipital artery. Synonym: sulcus arteriae occipitalis, sulcus of occipital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of promontory of tympanic cavity | A narrow branched groove running vertically over the surface of the promontory in the middle ear, lodging the tympanic plexus. Synonym: sulcus promontorii cavitatis tympanicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of pterygoid hamulus | A groove at the base of the hamular process which forms a pulley for the tendon of the tensor veli palatini muscle. Synonym: sulcus hamuli pterygoidei, sulcus of pterygoid hamulus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of sclera | A slight groove on the external surface of the eyeball indicating the line of union of the sclera and cornea or limbus of cornea. Synonym: sulcus sclerae, sulcus of sclera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of the oculomotor nerve | A groove in the lateral wall of the interpeduncular fossa of the midbrain from which the rootlets of the oculomotor nerve emerge. Synonym: sulcus medialis cruris cerebri, sulcus nervi oculomotorii, sulcus of the oculomotor nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of umbilical vein | <anatomy, vein> The sulcus on the foetal liver occupied by the umbilical vein. Synonym: sulcus venae umbilicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus olfactorius | The sagittal sulcus on the inferior or orbital surface of each frontal lobe of the cerebrum, demarcating the straight gyrus from the orbital gyri, and covered on the orbital surface by the olfactory bulb and tract. Synonym: sulcus olfactorius, olfactory groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus olfactorius cavum nasi | The narrow groove in the nasal cavity above the agger nasi that leads from the atrium to the olfactory area. Synonym: sulcus olfactorius cavum nasi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus palatinus | One of a number of grooves on the lower surface of the palatine process of the maxilla in which the palatine vessels and nerves lie. Synonym: sulcus palatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus palatinus major | A groove on both the body of the maxilla and the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone; when the bones are articulated the grooves form the greater palatine canal. Synonym: sulcus palatinus major, pterygopalatine groove, sulcus for greater palatine nerve, sulcus pterygopalatinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus palatovaginalis | A furrow on the inferior aspect of the vaginal process of the sphenoid bone that is bridged below by the sphenoidal process of the palatine bone to form the palatovaginal canal. Synonym: sulcus palatovaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus paraglenoidalis | A groove on the pelvic surface of the ilium just lateral to the auricular surface; it is more pronounced in the female. Synonym: paraglenoid groove, paraglenoid sulcus, preauricular sulcus, sulcus paraglenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus parieto-occipitalis | A very deep, almost vertically oriented fissure on the medial surface of the cerebral cortex, marking the border between the parietal lobe and the cuneus of the occipital lobe; its lower part curves forward and fuses with the anterior extent of the calcarine fissure (sulcus calcarinus); the great depth of this combined fissure causes a bulge in the medial wall of the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle, the calcar avis. Synonym: sulcus parieto-occipitalis, fissura parietooccipitalis, parieto-occipital fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
