| frontonasal prominence | The unpaired embryonic prominence between the medial nasal elevations, which eventually merges with them to contribute to the bridge of the nose and the underlying nasal septum. Synonym: forebrain eminence, forebrain prominence, frontonasal primordium, frontonasal process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bridging hepatic necrosis | Area of liver necrosis which bridges adjacent portal areas and central veins; subsequent post-necrotic collapse and fibrosis is likely to result in cirrhosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right branch of proper hepatic artery | <anatomy, artery> Right branch of proper hepatic artery; terminal branch of proper hepatic artery supplying right lobe of liver; branch: cystic artery. Synonym: ramus dexter arteriae hepaticae propriae, right branch of proper hepatic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right hepatic artery | <anatomy, artery> Right branch of proper hepatic artery; terminal branch of proper hepatic artery supplying right lobe of liver; branch: cystic artery. Synonym: ramus dexter arteriae hepaticae propriae, right branch of proper hepatic artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right hepatic duct | The duct that transmits bile to the common hepatic duct from the right half of the liver and the right part of the caudate lobe. Synonym: ductus hepaticus dexter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right hepatic veins | Veins draining much of the right lobe of the liver (posterior segments [VI & VII] and part of the inferior anterior segment [V]) which merge to form a single or sometimes double trunk, draining into the right side of the suprahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava (between the superior surface of the liver and the diaphragm); when single, it is the largest vein of the liver. Synonym: venae hepaticae dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle hepatic veins | Veins draining the central portion of the liver (the superior anterior segment [VIII] and the left side of the inferior anterior segment [V] of the right lobe and the medial segment [IV] of the left lobe) which join to form a trunk that merges with that of the left hepatic veins about 90% of the time prior to entering the left side of the inferior vena cava. Synonym: venae hepaticae mediae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common hepatic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, coeliac; branches, right gastric, gastroduodenal, and proper hepatic. Synonym: arteria hepatica communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common hepatic duct | The part of the biliary duct system that is formed by the confluence of right and left hepatic ducts. at the porta hepatis it is joined by the cystic duct to become the common bile duct. Synonym: ductus hepaticus communis, hepatocystic duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| constitutional hepatic dysfunction | Mild jaundice due to increased amounts of unconjugated bilirubin in the plasma without evidence of liver damage, biliary obstruction, or haemolysis; thought to be due to an inborn error of metabolism in which the excretion of bilirubin by the liver is defective, ascribed to decreased conjugation of bilirubin as a glucuronide or impaired uptake of hepatic bilirubin. Synonym: benign familial icterus, constitutional hepatic dysfunction, Gilbert's disease, Gilbert's syndrome, Hebra's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| porphyria, hepatic | Porphyria in which the liver is the site where excess formation of porphyrin or its precursors is found. Porphyria, acute intermittent and porphyria cutanea tarda are types of hepatic porphyria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| portoenterostomy, hepatic | Operation for biliary atresia by anastomosis of the bile ducts into the jejunum or duodenum. (12 Dec 1998) |
