| hilum of kidney | The depression on the medial border of the kidney through which pass the segmental renal vessels and renal nerves and where the apex of the renal pelvis occurs. Synonym: hilum renalis, porta renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hilum of lung | A wedge-shaped depression on the mediastinal surface of each lung, where the bronchus, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics enter or leave the viscus. Synonym: hilum pulmonis, porta pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hilum of lymph node | The depressed area of the surface of a lymph node through which the efferent lymphatics emerge from the medulla and through which blood vessels enter and leave the node. Synonym: hilum nodi lymphatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hilum of ovary | The depression along the mesovarian margin, at the insertion of the mesovarium, where vessels and nerves enter or leave the ovary. Synonym: hilum ovarii. (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) |
