| posterior medial nucleus of thalamus | Medial part of the ventrobasal nuclear complex. See: ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus ventralis posteromedialis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus of medial geniculate body | The nerve cell groups composing the medial geniculate body (corpus geniculatum mediale). Synonym: nucleus corporis geniculati medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> The wide fibrous band interconnecting the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies. Synonym: lacertus medius, ligamentum longitudinale anterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| median longitudinal raphe of tongue | <anatomy> Median groove or median longitudinal raphe of tongue; raphe linguae; a slight longitudinal depression running forward on the dorsal surface of the tongue from the foramen caecum. Synonym: sulcus medianus linguae, median longitudinal raphe of tongue, raphe linguae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| great longitudinal fissure | The deep cleft separating the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. Synonym: fissura longitudinalis cerebri, great longitudinal fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior longitudinal bundle | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior longitudinal ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band interconnecting the posterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; it narrows to pass between the pedicles and spreads out to blend with the posterior annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs; forms the anterior wall of the vertebral canal. Synonym: ligamentum longitudinale posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| section, longitudinal | A cut along the long axis of a structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| study, longitudinal | A study done over the passage of time. For example, a longitudinal study of children with down syndrome (trisomy 21) might involve the study of 100 children with this condition from birth to 10 years of age. Also called a diachronic study. The opposite of a cross-sectional (synchronic) study. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior longitudinal muscle of tongue | An intrinsic muscle of the tongue, running from base to tip on the dorsum just beneath the mucous membrane; action, shortens the upper part of the tongue; nerve supply, motor by hypoglossal, sensory by lingual. Synonym: musculus longitudinalis superior, superficial lingual muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior longitudinal sinus | An unpaired dural venous sinus in the sagittal groove, beginning at the foramen caecum and terminating at the confluence of sinuses where it merges with the straight sinus; receives the superior cerebral veins and has lateral extensions, the lateral venous lacunae. Synonym: sinus sagittalis superior, superior longitudinal sinus. Tarsal sinus, a hollow or canal formed by the groove of the talus and the interosseous groove of the calcaneus which is occupied by the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament. Synonym: sinus tarsi, tarsal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior longitudinal sulcus | The groove in the midline of the inner table of the calvaria lodging the superior sagittal sinus. Synonym: sulcus sinus sagittalis superioris, sagittal groove, sagittal sulcus, superior longitudinal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior longitudinal muscle of tongue | An intrinsic muscle of the tongue, cylindrical in shape, occupying the underpart on either side; action, shortens the lower part of the tongue; nerve supply, motor by hypoglossal, sensory by lingual. Synonym: musculus longitudinalis inferior, inferior lingual muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior longitudinal sinus | An unpaired dural venous sinus in the lower margin of the falx cerebri, running parallel to the superior sagittal sinus and merging with the great cerebral vein to form the the straight sinus. Synonym: sinus sagittalis inferior, inferior longitudinal sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
