| substantia basophilia | The material consisting of granular endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes that occurs in nerve cell bodies and dendrites. Synonym: basophil substance, basophilic substance, chromophil substance, Nissl bodies, Nissl granules, substantia basophilia, tigroid bodies, tigroid substance. (05 Mar 2000) |

| substantia cinerea | The cortex of the brain which contains nerve cell bodies. The gray matter is in contrast to the white matter, the part of the brain that contains myelinated nerve fibres. The gray matter is so named because it in fact appears gray. The white matter is white because that is the colour of myelin, the insulation covering the nerve fibres. In the mysterious affair at styles (1920), agatha christie first quoted the fictional belgian detective hercule poirot in regard to his gray matter: 'this affair must be unravelled from within.' he tapped his forehead. 'these little grey cells. It is up to them as you say over here.' (12 Dec 1998) |
| substantia compacta | The compact, noncancellous portion of bone that consists largely of concentric lamellar osteons and interstitial lamellae. Synonym: substantia compacta, compact substance, substantia compacta ossium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia compacta ossium | The compact, noncancellous portion of bone that consists largely of concentric lamellar osteons and interstitial lamellae. Synonym: substantia compacta, compact substance, substantia compacta ossium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia corticalis | The superficial thin layer of compact bone. Synonym: substantia corticalis, cortical substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia eburnea | <dentistry> The calcified tissue below the enamel, enclosing the cavity of the tooth containing the pulp chamber and root canals. (08 Jan 1998) |
| substantia ferruginea | A shallow depression, of a blue colour in the fresh brain, lying laterally in the most rostral portion of the rhomboidal fossa near the cerebral aqueduct; it lies near the lateral wall of the fourth ventricle and consists of about 20,000 melanin-pigmented neuronal cell bodies whose norepinephrine-containing axons have a remarkably wide distribution in the cerebellum as well as in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex. Synonym: substantia ferruginea, locus cinereus, locus ferrugineus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia fundamentalis | The amorphous material in which structural elements occur; in connective tissue, it is composed of proteoglycans, plasma constituents, metabolites, water, and ions present between cells and fibres. Synonym: substantia fundamentalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia gelatinosa | The apical part of the posterior horn (dorsal horn; posterior gray column) of the spinal cord's gray matter, composed largely of very small nerve cells; its gelatinous appearance is due to its very low content of myelinated nerve fibres. Synonym: substantia gelatinosa, Rolando's gelatinous substance, Rolando's substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia gelatinosa centralis | The central gray matter of the spinal cord surrounding the central canal. Synonym: substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis, anterior gray column, Stilling's gelatinous substance, substantia gelatinosa centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia glandularis prostatae | The glandular tissue of the prostate as distinct from the stroma and capsule. Synonym: substantia glandularis prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia grisea | The cortex of the brain which contains nerve cell bodies. The gray matter is in contrast to the white matter, the part of the brain that contains myelinated nerve fibres. The gray matter is so named because it in fact appears gray. The white matter is white because that is the colour of myelin, the insulation covering the nerve fibres.

'these little grey cells. It is up to them as you say over here.' (12 Dec 1998) |
| substantia grisea centralis | In general: the predominantly small-celled gray matter adjoining or surrounding the central canal of the spinal cord and the third and fourth ventricles of the brainstem, in particular: the thick sleeve of gray matter surrounding the cerebral sylvian aqueduct in the midbrain, rostrally continuous with the posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus; in sections stained for myelin it stands out from the adjoining tectum and tegmentum by the poverty of its myelinated fibres. Synonym: substantia grisea centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia innominata | Tissue in the base of the forebrain inferior to the anterior perforated substance, and anterior to the globus pallidus and ansa lenticularis. It contains the nucleus basalis of meynert and may be implicated in alzheimer's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis | The central gray matter of the spinal cord surrounding the central canal. Synonym: substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis, anterior gray column, Stilling's gelatinous substance, substantia gelatinosa centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
