Synonym: tuberositas phalangis distalis, tuberositas unguicularis, ungual tuberosity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic crest | An elevation on the inner surface of the ampulla of each saemicircular duct; filaments of the vestibular nerve pass through the crista to reach hair cells on its surface; the hair cells are capped by the cupula, a gelatinous protein-polysaccharide mass. Synonym: crista ampullaris, acoustic crest, transverse septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acousticofacial crest | The part of the neural crest from which the ganglia of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
