|---|---|
| dentate fascia | Serrated strip of gray matter under the medial border of the hippocampus and in its depths. It is an archicortex which develops along the edge of the hippocampal fissure and which consists of molecular, granular, and polymorphic layers. The molecular layer is continuous with that of the hippocampus in the depths of the hippocampal fissure. (carpenter and sutin, human neuroanatomy, 8th ed, p626) (12 Dec 1998) |
| dentate fissure | A shallow groove between the dentate gyrus and the parahippocampal gyrus; the remains of a fissure extending deep into the hippocampus between Ammon's horn and the dentate gyrus which becomes obliterated during foetal development. Synonym: sulcus hippocampi, dentate fissure, fissura dentata, fissura hippocampi, hippocampal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentate fracture | A fracture in which the opposing surfaces are rough, with toothed or serrate projections fitting into corresponding indentations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentate gyrus | Serrated strip of gray matter under the medial border of the hippocampus and in its depths. It is an archicortex which develops along the edge of the hippocampal fissure and which consists of molecular, granular, and polymorphic layers. The molecular layer is continuous with that of the hippocampus in the depths of the hippocampal fissure. (carpenter and sutin, human neuroanatomy, 8th ed, p626) (12 Dec 1998) |
| dentate ligament of spinal cord | Rarely used variation on the spelling of denticulate ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentate line | The line between the simple columnar epithelium of the rectum and the stratified epithelium of the anal canal. Synonym: linea anocutanea, anocutaneous line, dentate line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dentate-sinuate | <botany> Having a form intermediate between dentate and sinuate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| dentate suture | One whose opposing margins present deep sawlike indentations, as most of the sagittal suture. Synonym: sutura serrata, dentate suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tail of dentate gyrus | A slender whitish band, the attenuated anterior continuation of the dentate gyrus (fascia dentata), crossing transversally the surface of the recurved part of the uncus gyri parahippocampalis. Synonym: band of Giacomini, cauda fasciae dentatae, frenulum of Giacomini, tail of dentate gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tongue of cerebellum | A tongue-shaped sequence of flattened cerebellar folia forming the anterior (or superior) extreme of the cerebellar vermis, extending forward on the surface of the superior medullary velum between the two emerging superior cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: lingula cerebelli, lingua cerebelli, tongue of cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse fissure of cerebellum | The cleft caused by the protrusion of the anterior lobe of the cerebellum over the superior and middle cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: fissura transversa cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingula of cerebellum | A tongue-shaped sequence of flattened cerebellar folia forming the anterior (or superior) extreme of the cerebellar vermis, extending forward on the surface of the superior medullary velum between the two emerging superior cerebellar peduncles. Synonym: lingula cerebelli, lingua cerebelli, tongue of cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abducens nucleus | Nucleus of abducent nervenucleus abducentis, a group of motor neurons in the lower part of the pons, innervating the lateral rectus muscle of the eye; unique among motor cranial nerve nuclei in that it consists of two distinct populations of neurons: neurons that give rise to fibres forming the abducens nerve root and those internuclear neurons whose processes cross the midline, ascend in the opposite medial longitudinal fasciculus, and terminate upon specific oculomotor neurons; considered a primary centre for mechanisms controlling conjugate horizontal gaze. Synonym: nucleus nervi abducentis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory cuneate nucleus | A cell group lateral to the cuneate nucleus which receives posterior-root fibres corresponding to the proprioceptive innervation of the arm and hand; it projects to the cerebellum by way of the cuneocerebellar tract, and can be considered the upper-extremity equivalent of the thoracic nucleus. Synonym: nucleus cuneatus accessorius, external cuneate nucleus, lateral cuneate nucleus, Monakow's nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
