| dust corpuscles | Small refractive particles in the circulating blood, probably lipid material associated with fragmented stroma from red blood cells. Synonym: blood dust, blood motes, dust corpuscles. Origin: haemo-+ G. Konis, dust (05 Mar 2000) |
| terminal nerve corpuscles | Generic term denoting specialised encapsulated nerve endings such as the articular, bulboid, genital, lamellated, and tactile corpuscles, and the tactile meniscus. Synonym: corpuscula nervosa terminalia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eichhorst's corpuscles | The globular forms sometimes occurring in the poikilocytosis of pernicious anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Toynbee's corpuscles | Connective tissue cells found between the laminae of fibrous tissue in the cornea. Synonym: Toynbee's corpuscles, Virchow's cells, Virchow's corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Troltsch's corpuscles | Minute spaces, resembling corpuscle's, between the radial fibres of the drum membrane of the ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Key-Retzius corpuscles | Tactile corpuscle's, resembling pacinian corpuscle's, found in the beak of certain aquatic birds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamellated corpuscles | Small oval bodies in the skin of the fingers, in the mesentery, tendons, and elsewhere, formed of concentric layers of connective tissue with a soft core in which the axon of a nerve fibre runs, splitting up into a number of fibrils that terminate in bulbous enlargements; they are sensitive to pressure. Synonym: corpuscula lamellosa, pacinian corpuscles, Vater's corpuscles, Vater-Pacini corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial articular facies of clavicle | Synonym: acromial articular surface of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial articular surface of clavicle | A small oval facet on the lateral end of the clavicle for articulation with the acromion. Synonym: facies articularis acromialis claviculae, acromial articular facies of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior talar articular surface of calcaneus | Underlies the head of the talus and contributes to the talocalcaneonavicular joint. Synonym: facies articularis talaris anterior calcanei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular | <orthopaedics, rheumatology> Of or pertaining to a joint. Origin: L. Articularis (18 Nov 1997) |
| articular branches | Branches distributed to joints. Almost any vessel related to a joint will supply articular rami. Most joints receive articular branches from the intramuscular branches of the motor nerves innervating the muscles crossing the joint (see Hilton's law). at this printing, Nomina Anatomica, however, specifically recognises only the articular branches of the descending genicular artery, ramus articulares arteriae descendentis genicularis; supplying the knee joint. Synonym: rami articulares, joint branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
