| annulus lymphaticus cardiae | A group of lymph nodes surrounding the cardia of the stomach. Synonym: annulus lymphaticus cardiae, cardiac lymphatic ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annulus of fibrous sheath | One of the two circular fibrous bands of the fibrous sheaths of the fingers and toes attached to the shaft of the proximal and middle phalanges. Synonym: pars annularis vaginae fibrosae, annular pulley, annulus of fibrous sheath, ligamentum annulare digitorum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| annulus tendineus communis | A fibrous ring that surrounds the optic canal and the medial part of the superior orbital fissure; it gives origin to the four rectus muscles of the eye and is partially fused with the sheath of the optic nerve. Synonym: annulus tendineus communis, Zinn's ligament, Zinn's ring, Zinn's tendon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annulus tympanicus | In the foetus, a more or less complete bony ring at the medial end of the cartilaginous external acoustic meatus, to which is attached the tympanic membrane. Synonym: annulus tympanicus, tympanic bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annulus umbilicalis | An opening in the linea alba through which pass the umbilical vessels in the foetus; in young embryos it is relatively nearer to the pubis, but gradually ascends to the centre of the abdomen; it is closed in the adult, its site being indicated by the umbilicus or navel. Synonym: annulus umbilicalis, canalis umbilicalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annulus urethralis | The complete collar of smooth muscle cells of the neck of the urinary bladder which extend distally to surround the preprostatic sportion of the male urethra. There is not a comparable structure in the neck of the femoral bladder; the internal urethral sphincter may exist to prevent reflux of semen into bladder. Synonym: annulus urethralis, internal urethral sphincter, musculus sphincter vesicae, preprostate urethral sphincter, proximal urethral sphincter, sphincter muscle of urinary bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |

| periseptal annulus | Organelle associated with cell division in gram-negative bacteria. There are two circumferential zones of cell envelope in which membranous elements of the envelope are closely associated with murein. The annuli appear early in division and in the region between them, the periseptal compartment, the division septum is formed. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Haller's annulus | A doubling of the thoracic duct for part of its course through the thorax. Synonym: Haller's annulus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| African endomyocardial fibrosis | Fibrosis of the inner layers of the myocardium, often including the endocardium, causing diastolic restriction of the heart; indigenous to East Africa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation fibrosis | The formation of scar tissue as a result of radiation therapy to the lung. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mediastinal fibrosis | <radiology> Histoplasmosis most common cause, can cause superior vena cava obstruction (12 Dec 1998) |
| replacement fibrosis | The formation of fibrous tissue that occupies sites where various other cells and tissues have become atrophied, or degenerated and necrotic. (05 Mar 2000) |
