| internal spiral sulcus | A concavity in the floor of the cochlear duct formed by the overhanging labium vestibulare. Synonym: sulcus spiralis internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interparietal sulcus | A horizontal sulcus extending back from the postcentral sulcus over some distance, then dividing perpendicularly into two branches so as to form, with the postcentral sulcus, a figure H. It divides the parietal lobe into superior and inferior parietal lobules. Synonym: sulcus intraparietalis, interparietal sulcus, intraparietal sulcus of Turner, Turner's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intertubercular sulcus | A furrow running down the shaft of the humerus between the two tubercles, lodging the tendon of the long head of the biceps, and giving attachment in its floor to the latissimus dorsi muscle. Synonym: sulcus intertubercularis, bicipital groove, intertubercular sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intragracile sulcus | A fissure between the gracilis minor and gracilis posterior lobuli of the cerebellum. Synonym: sulcus intragracilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraparietal sulcus | A horizontal sulcus extending back from the postcentral sulcus over some distance, then dividing perpendicularly into two branches so as to form, with the postcentral sulcus, a figure H. It divides the parietal lobe into superior and inferior parietal lobules. Synonym: sulcus intraparietalis, interparietal sulcus, intraparietal sulcus of Turner, Turner's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraparietal sulcus of Turner | A horizontal sulcus extending back from the postcentral sulcus over some distance, then dividing perpendicularly into two branches so as to form, with the postcentral sulcus, a figure H.

| occipitotemporal sulcus | 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) |
| olfactory sulcus | 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) |
| olfactory sulcus of nasal cavity | 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) |
| talar sulcus | The groove on the inferior surface of the talus, which with a corresponding groove on the calcaneus forms the sinus tarsi. Synonym: sulcus tali, interosseous groove, talar sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal sulcus | Sulcus terminalis linguae; a V-shaped groove, with apex pointing backward, on the surface of the tongue, marking the separation between the oral, or horizontal, and the pharyngeal, or vertical, parts, sulcus terminalis atrii dextri; a groove on the surface of the right atrium of the heart, marking the junction of the primitive sinus venosus with the atrium. Synonym: terminal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| transverse occipital sulcus | The posterior, vertical limb of the intraparietal sulcus. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis transversus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Turner's sulcus | A horizontal sulcus extending back from the postcentral sulcus over some distance, then dividing perpendicularly into two branches so as to form, with the postcentral sulcus, a figure H. It divides the parietal lobe into superior and inferior parietal lobules. Synonym: sulcus intraparietalis, interparietal sulcus, intraparietal sulcus of Turner, Turner's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
