| parenchymatous cell of corpus pineale | A cell of the pineal body with long processes ending in bulbous expansions. Pinealocytes receive a direct innervation from sympathetic neurons that form recognizable synapses. The club-shaped endings of pinealocyte processes terminate in perivascular spaces surrounding capillaries. Synonym: chief cell of corpus pineale, parenchymatous cell of corpus pineale. Origin: pineal + G. Kytos, cell (05 Mar 2000) |
| caverns of corpus spongiosum | The vascular spaces forming the erectile tissue of the corpus spongiosum penis in the male and the bulb of the vestibule in the female. Synonym: cavernae corporis spongiosi, cavities of corpus spongiosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavities of corpus spongiosum | The vascular spaces forming the erectile tissue of the corpus spongiosum penis in the male and the bulb of the vestibule in the female. Synonym: cavernae corporis spongiosi, cavities of corpus spongiosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial medullary lamina of corpus striatum | A fibre layer separating the medial and lateral segments of the globus pallidus. Synonym: lamina medullaris medialis corporis striati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peduncle of corpus callosum | A slender vertical whitish band immediately anterior to the lamina terminalis and anterior commissure; contrary to its name, it is not a cortical convolution but is the ventral continuation of the transparent septum. Synonym: area subcallosa, gyrus paraterminalis, gyrus subcallosus, pedunculus corporis callosi, corpus paraterminale, paraterminal body, paraterminal gyrus, peduncle of corpus callosum, precommissural septal area, subcallosal area, Zuckerkandl's convolution.

Pinealocytes receive a direct innervation from sympathetic neurons that form recognizable synapses. The club-shaped endings of pinealocyte processes terminate in perivascular spaces surrounding capillaries. Synonym: chief cell of corpus pineale, parenchymatous cell of corpus pineale. Origin: pineal + G. Kytos, cell (05 Mar 2000) |
| rostrum of corpus callosum | Beak of the corpus callosum, the recurved portion of the corpus callosum passing backward from the genu to the anterior commissure. Synonym: rostrum corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus | The body of the uterus (womb). (12 Dec 1998) |
| corpus adiposum | An accumulation of somewhat encapsulated adipose tissue. Synonym: corpus adiposum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus adiposum buccae | An encapsuled mass of fat in the cheek on the outer side of the buccinator muscle, especially marked in the infant; supposed to strengthen and support the cheek during the act of sucking. Synonym: corpus adiposum buccae, Bichat's fat-pad, Bichat's protuberance, fat body of cheek, sucking cushion, sucking pad, suctorial pad. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus adiposum fossae ischiorectalis | The fat within the ischiorectal fossa. Synonym: corpus adiposum fossae ischiorectalis, fat body of ischiorectal fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus adiposum infrapatellare | The fatty mass that occupies the area between the patellar ligament and the infrapatellar synovial fold of the knee joint. Synonym: corpus adiposum infrapatellare, infrapatellar fat body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus adiposum orbitae | The mass of fat contained in the orbit that contributes to the support of the eyeball. Synonym: corpus adiposum orbitae, fat body of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus albicans | A retrogressed corpus luteum characterised by increasing cicatrization and shrinkage of the cicatricial core with an amorphous, convoluted, completely hyalinised lutein zone surrounding the central plug of scar tissue. Synonym: albicans, atretic corpus luteum, corpus candicans. Corpora allata, a pair of juvenile hormone-producing endocrine glands located near the brain in insects; action of the juvenile hormone is interrelated with that of brain hormone and ecdysone; a high concentration of the hormone at the time of molting will cause production of an additional larval instar; removal at an early larval stage causes precocious pupation, resulting in the formation of a midget adult; implantation at late larval stages can cause development of an oversized adult.
