| musculus levator glandulae thyroideae | A fasciculus occasionally passing from the thyrohyoid muscle to the isthmus of the thyroid gland. Synonym: musculus levator glandulae thyroideae, elevator muscle of thyroid gland, Soemmerring's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stroma glandulae thyroideae | The connective tissue that supports the lobules and follicles of the thyroid gland. Synonym: stroma glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isthmus glandulae thyroideae | The central part of the thyroid gland joining the two lateral lobes. Synonym: isthmus glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| folliculi glandulae thyroideae | <physiology> The small spherical vesicular components of the thyroid gland lined with epithelium and containing colloid in varying amounts. The colloid serves for storage of the thyroid hormone precursor, thyroglobulin. Synonym: follicles of thyroid gland. Origin: L. A small sac, dim. Of follis, bellows (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobi glandulae thyroideae | The two major divisions of the gland lying on the right and left side of the trachea and connected by the isthmus. A smaller pyramidal lobe is frequently present as an upward extension from the isthmus. Synonym: lobi glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobuli glandulae thyroideae | The subdivisions of the lobes, consisting of incompletely separated, irregular groups of thyroid follicles (20 to 40 in number) bound together by delicate connective tissue. Synonym: lobuli glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobus pyramidalis glandulae thyroideae | <anatomy> An inconstant narrow lobe of the thyroid gland that arises from the upper border of the isthmus and extends upward, sometimes as far as the hyoid bone; it marks the point of continuity with the thyroglossal duct. Synonym: lobus pyramidalis glandulae thyroideae, Lallouette's pyramid, Morgagni's appendix, pyramid of thyroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apex cartilaginis arytenoideae | The pointed upper end of the cartilage which supports the corniculate cartilage and the aryepiglottic fold. Synonym: apex cartilaginis arytenoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus cartilaginis cricoideae | The narrow part of the cartilage that encircles the air passage anterior to the lamina. Synonym: arcus cartilaginis cricoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articulatio cartilaginis | A joint in which the apposed bony surfaces are united by cartilage; they are divided into synchondroses and symphyses; in synchondroses, the cartilage connecting the apposed surfaces is, as a rule, ultimately converted to bone, as between epiphyses and diaphyses of long bones; exceptions are the sternal synchondroses and the cartilaginous union of the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum; in symphyses the bones are connected by a flat disk of fibrocartilage which remains unossified throughout life; e.g., the intervertebral disk and the symphysis pubis. Synonym: articulatio cartilaginis, cartilaginous articulation, junctura cartilaginea, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basis cartilaginis arytenoideae | The part of the arytenoid cartilage that articulates with the cricoid cartilage and from which the muscular process extends laterally and the vocal process projects anteriorly. Synonym: basis cartilaginis arytenoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colliculus cartilaginis arytenoideae | The elevation on the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage above the triangular fovea. Synonym: colliculus cartilaginis arytenoideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crista arcuata cartilaginis arytenoideae | The ridge on the anterior surface of the arytenoid cartilage that separates the triangular from the oblong fovea. Synonym: crista arcuata cartilaginis arytenoideae, arched crest, arcuate crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crus laterale cartilaginis alaris majoris | Portion of cartilage extending laterally and posteriorly in a wing-like fashion, supporting the wing of the nose and keeping the nostril patent. Synonym: crus laterale cartilaginis alaris majoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
