| urogenital ridge | One of the paired longitudinal ridge's developing in the dorsal body wall of the embryo on either side of the dorsal mesentery; the ridge is formed at first by the growing mesonephros and later by the mesonephros and the gonad. Synonym: genital fold, wolffian ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |

| urogenital septum | The coronally placed ridge formed by the caudal portion of the urogenital ridges fusing in the midline of the embryo; it lies between the hindgut dorsally and the bladder ventrally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital sinus | The ventral part of the cloaca after its separation from the rectum by the growth of the urorectal septum; from it develops the lower part of the bladder in both sexes, the prostatic portion of the male urethra, and the urethra and vestibule in the female. Synonym: persistent cloaca. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urogenital surgical procedures | Surgery performed on the urinary tract or its organs and on the male or female genitalia. (12 Dec 1998) |

| urogenital triangle | The anterior portion of the perineal region containing the openings of the urethra and vagina in the female and the urethra and root structures of the penis in the male. Synonym: regio urogenitalis, urogenital region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagal trigone | A prominence in the floor of the inferior fovea of the fourth ventricle that overlies the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. Synonym: trigonum nervi vagi, ala cinerea, ashen wing, gray wing, trigone of vagus nerve, va'gi eminentia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular trigone | A triangular prominence of the floor of the lateral ventricle at the transition between occipital and temporal horn, continuous rostrally with the collateral eminence and, like the latter, caused by the deep penetration of the collateral sulcus from the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Synonym: trigonum collaterale, trigone of lateral ventricle, trigonum ventriculi, ventricular trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertebrocostal trigone | A triangular area in the diaphragm near the lateral arcuate ligament that is devoid of muscle fibres; it is covered by pleura superiorly and by peritoneum inferiorly. Synonym: Bochdalek's gap, trigonum lumbocostale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral trigone | Origin: L, an arch. <anatomy> An arch or fold; as, the fornix, or vault, of the cranium; the fornix, or reflection, of the conjuctiva. Esp, two longitudinal bands of white nervous tissue beneath the lateral ventricles of the brain. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| right fibrous trigone | Part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart located between the aortic fibrous ring and rings surrounding the right and left atrioventricular ostia. Synonym: trigonum fibrosum dextrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collateral trigone | A triangular prominence of the floor of the lateral ventricle at the transition between occipital and temporal horn, continuous rostrally with the collateral eminence and, like the latter, caused by the deep penetration of the collateral sulcus from the ventral surface of the temporal lobe. Synonym: trigonum collaterale, trigone of lateral ventricle, trigonum ventriculi, ventricular trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Muller's trigone | The floor of the supraoptic recess of the third ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| habenular trigone | A small triangular area on the dorsomedial surface of the thalamus at the caudal end of the medullary stria, corresponding to the underlying habenula. Synonym: trigonum habenulae, trigone of habenula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypoglossal trigone | A slight elevation in the floor of the inferior recess of the fourth ventricle, beneath which is the nucleus of origin of the twelfth cranial nerve. Synonym: trigonum nervi hypoglossi, eminentia hypoglossi, hypoglossal eminence, trigone of hypoglossal nerve, trigonum hypoglossi, tuberculum hypoglossi. (05 Mar 2000) |
