| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral column of spinal cord | The lateral white column of the spinal cord between the lines of exit and entrance of the anterior and posterior nerve roots. Synonym: funiculus lateralis, anterolateral column of spinal cord, lateral funiculus of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral cordotomy | Division of the anterolateral quadrant of the spinal cord to section the spinothalamic tract. Synonym: anterolateral tractotomy, spinal tractotomy, spinothalamic cordotomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral fontanel | An irregularly shaped interval on either side where the frontal, sphenoidal angle of the parietal, squamous portion of the temporal and greater wing of the sphenoid meet. Synonym: fonticulus sphenoidalis, fonticulus anterolateralis, anterolateral fontanel. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterolateral system | A composite bundle of fibres, located in the ventrolateral part of the lateral funiculus, containing spinothalamic, spinohypothalamic, spinoreticular, and spinomesencephalic (spinotectal, spinal to periaqueductal grey, etc.) fibres; occupies the combined areas of the spinal white matter historically divided into anterior and lateral spinothalamic tracts; located in white matter ventral to the denticulate ligament, hence the anatomical basis for the anterolateral cordotomy; concerned with the transmission of nociceptive and thermal information and with crude (nondiscriminative) touch.

| arytenoid | <anatomy> Ladle-shaped; applied to two small cartilages of the larynx, and also to the glands, muscles, etc, connected with them. The cartilages are attached to the cricoid cartilage and connected with the vocal cords. Origin: Gr. Shaped like a ladle; a ladle + form. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| arytenoid glands | A large number of mixed glands in the mucous membrane of the larynx; they are called, according to their situation, anterior, middle, and posterior. Synonym: glandulae laryngeae, laryngeal glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arytenoid swelling | Paired primordial elevations, on either side of the embryonic larynx, within which the arytenoid cartilages are formed. Brain swelling, a pathologic entity, localised or generalised, characterised by an increase in bulk of brain tissue, due to expansion of the intravascular (congestion) or extravascular (oedema) compartments that may coexist or may occur separately and be clinically indistinguishable; clinical manifestations depend on disturbed neuronal function due to local swelling, shifting of intracranial structures, and the effects of intracranial hypertension or circulatory disturbance.
