| sulcus occipitalis lateralis | One of several variable sulci on the lateral aspect of the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, bounding the lateral occipital convolutions. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus occipitalis transversus | The posterior, vertical limb of the intraparietal sulcus. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus occipitotemporalis | A long, deep sagittal fissure on the undersurface of the temporal lobe, marking the border between the fusiform gyrus laterally and the hippocampal and lingual gyri medially; the great depth of the collateral sulcus results in a bulging of the floor of the occipital and temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, the collateral eminence. Synonym: sulcus collateralis, sulcus occipitotemporalis, collateral fissure, fissura collateralis, occipitotemporal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus of cingulum | A fissure on the mesial surface of the cerebral hemisphere, bounding the upper surface of the cingulate gyrus (callosal convolution); the anterior portion is called the pars subfrontalis; the posterior portion which curves up to the superomedial margin of the hemisphere and borders the paracentral lobule posteriorly, the pars marginalis. Synonym: sulcus cinguli, callosomarginal fissure, callosomarginal sulcus, sulcus callosomarginalis, sulcus of cingulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
