| atretic corpus luteum | 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.

| bulb of corpus spongiosum | The expanded posterior part of the corpus spongiosum of the penis lying in the interval between the crura of the penis. Synonym: bulbus penis, bulb of corpus spongiosum, bulb of urethra, bulbus urethrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation of corpus callosum | The spreading out of the fibres of the corpus callosum in the centrum semiovale of each cerebral hemisphere. Synonym: radiatio corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vein of corpus striatum | <anatomy, vein> A long vein passing forward in the groove between the thalamus and caudate nucleus, covered by the lamina affixa, receiving the transverse caudate veins along its lateral side, and joining at the caudal wall of Monro's foramen with the choroidal vein and vein of septum pellucidum to form the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: vena terminalis, vena thalamostriata superior, terminal vein, vein of corpus striatum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genu of corpus callosum | The anterior extremity of the corpus callosum that folds downward and backward on itself, terminating in the rostrum. Synonym: genu corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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.

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) |
