| cortical bone | The superficial thin layer of compact bone. Synonym: substantia corticalis, cortical substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cortical cataract | A cataract in which the opacity affects the cortex of the lens. Synonym: peripheral cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical convexity | The aspect of the cerebral hemisphere that lies in contact with the flat bones of the skull; it includes parts of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Synonym: facies superolateralis cerebri, cortical convexity, superolateral cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical deafness | Deafness resulting from bilateral lesions of the primary receptive area of the temporal lobe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical dysplasia | A malformative disorganization of the cytoarchitecture of the cortex relative to neurons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical epilepsy | Epilepsy of various aetiologies characterised by focal seizures or secondarily generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Ictal symptoms are often related to the brain region where the seizure begins focally. Synonym: cortical epilepsy, local epilepsy, partial epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical granule | <cell biology, gynaecology> Specialised secretory vesicles lying just below the plasma membrane of the egg, that fuse and release their contents immediately after fertilization (activation) to prevent polyspermy. (13 Nov 1997) |
| cortical hormones | Steroid hormone's produced by the adrenal cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical implantation | Implantation of blastocyst in the ovarian cortex, causing an ovarian pregnancy. See: ectopic pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical layer | Sub plasmalemmal layer of tangled microfilaments anchored to the plasma membrane by their barbed ends. This meshwork contributes to the mechanical properties of the cell surface and probably restricts the access of cytoplasmic vesicles to the plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cortical lobules of kidney | One of the subdivisions of the kidney, consisting of a medullary ray and that portion of the convoluted port (renal corpuscles and convoluted tubules) associated with its collecting duct. Synonym: lobulus corticalis renalis, renal cortical lobule, renculus, reniculus, renunculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical meshwork | Sub plasmalemmal layer of tangled microfilaments anchored to the plasma membrane by their barbed ends. This meshwork contributes to the mechanical properties of the cell surface and probably restricts the access of cytoplasmic vesicles to the plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cortical nephrocalcinosis | <radiology> Acute cortical necrosis (secondary to hypotensive episode), postpartum necrosis, primary oxalosis, chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic transplant rejection see also: renal calcification (12 Dec 1998) |
| cortical osteitis | Periostitis with involvement of the superficial layer of bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
