| oesophageal atresia | A congenital anomaly where the upper oesophagus ends (atresia) and does not connect with the stomach and the lower oesophagus connects to the trachea (tracheoesophageal fistula). A common complication seen shortly after birth is an aspiration pneumonia. Infants will demonstrate excessive salivation, gagging and coughing with feeding, poor feeding and a bluish discolouration to the skin (cyanosis). Treatment involves the surgical repair of the oesophagus before the child can take anything by mouth. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| tricuspid atresia | Absence of the orifice between the right atrium and ventricle, with the presence of an atrial defect through which all the systemic venous return reaches the left heart. As a result, there is left ventricular hypertrophy (hypertrophy, left ventricular) because the right ventricle is absent or not functional. (12 Dec 1998) |
| follicular atresia | <physiology> The degeneration and resorption of an ovarian follicle before it reaches maturity and ruptures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngeal atresia | Congenital failure of the laryngeal opening to develop, resulting in partial or total obstruction at or just above or below the glottis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aberrant ducts | The superior or inferior diverticula of the epididymis. Synonym: ductuli aberrantes, aberrant ducts, ductus aberrantes, vasa aberrantes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampulla of the saemicircular ducts | A nearly spherical enlargement of one end of each of the three saemicircular ducts, anterior, posterior, and lateral, where they connect with the utricle. Each contains a neuroepithelial crista ampullaris. Synonym: ampulla membranacea, membranous ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampullary crura of saemicircular ducts | The dilated ends of the three saemicircular ducts, each of which contains a specialised thickening of the epithelium known as the ampullary crest. Synonym: crura membranacea ampullaria ductus saemicircularis, ampullary limbs of saemicircular ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ampullary limbs of saemicircular ducts | The dilated ends of the three saemicircular ducts, each of which contains a specialised thickening of the epithelium known as the ampullary crest. Synonym: crura membranacea ampullaria ductus saemicircularis, ampullary limbs of saemicircular ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal ducts | Short duct's lined with simple columnar to stratified columnar epithelium that extend from the valvulae anales to the sinus anales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bellini's ducts | The largest straight excretory duct's in the kidney medulla and papillae whose openings form the area cribrosa; they are a continuation of the collecting tubules. Synonym: Bellini's ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| canalicular ducts | The ducts, numbering 15 or 20, which drain the lobes of the mammary gland; they open at the nipple.
