| colliculus seminalis | An elevated portion of the urethral crest upon which open the two ejaculatory ducts and the prostatic utricle. Synonym: colliculus seminalis, caput gallinaginis, colliculus urethralis, seminal hillock, verumontanum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| colliculus superior | The paired, larger, rounded anterior eminence of the laminae of mesencephalic tectum; major afferent connections of the superficial layers are the retina and striate cortex; input to deep layers of the colliculus are polymodal. Its efferent connections are with the lower brainstem and spinal cord (tectobulbar tract and tectospinal tract) and with the pulvinar and other cell groups in the caudal part of the thalamus; participates in extrageniculate visual pathway. Synonym: colliculus superior, anterior quadrigeminal body, corpus quadrigeminum anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colliculus urethralis | An elevated portion of the urethral crest upon which open the two ejaculatory ducts and the prostatic utricle. Synonym: colliculus seminalis, caput gallinaginis, colliculus urethralis, seminal hillock, verumontanum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| commissure of superior colliculus | Nerve fibres interconnecting corresponding and noncorresponding portions of the two superior colliculi across the midline; may contain fibres originating outside the tectum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seminal colliculus | An elevated portion of the urethral crest upon which open the two ejaculatory ducts and the prostatic utricle. Synonym: colliculus seminalis, caput gallinaginis, colliculus urethralis, seminal hillock, verumontanum. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: colliculus superior, anterior quadrigeminal body, corpus quadrigeminum anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep gray layer of superior colliculus | A layer of myelinated fibres, the deepest layer of the colliculus superior, delimiting the latter from the central gray substance surrounding the cerebral aqueduct. Synonym: stratum album profundum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep white layer of superior colliculus | See: gray layer of superior colliculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial colliculus | Prominent portion of the medial eminence, just rostral to the medullary striae in the rhomboidal fossa; it is formed by the internal genu of the facial nerve and the abducens nucleus around which the facial fibres curve. Synonym: colliculus facialis, abducens eminence, eminentia abducentis, eminentia facialis, facial eminence, facial hillock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior dental branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches passing from the inferior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami dentales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
