| tractus spiralis foraminosus | Openings in the cochlear area of the bottom of the internal acoustic meatus through which the fibres of the cochlear nerve leave the bony labyrinth to enter the cranial cavity. Synonym: tractus spiralis foraminosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichinella spiralis | <microbiology> Trichinosis is an intestinal and tissue infection of humans and other mammals caused by the nematode Trichinella spiralis. Infection occurs through the consumption of infected meat (usually domestic pork) that carries the encysted larvae of Trichinella spiralis. Common symptoms include: diarrhoea, muscle pains, fever, dehydration and swelling around the eyes. Myocarditis (heart infection), pneumonitis (lung infection) and encephalitis (brain infection) can also occur in advanced cases. (19 Jan 1998) |
| labium limbi tympanicum laminae spiralis | The lower, long periosteal extension of the limbus laminae spiralis osseae that rests on the basilar lamina of the spiral organ (of Corti). Synonym: labium limbi tympanicum laminae spiralis, tympanic lip of limbus of spiral lamina. Labium urethrae, one of the two lateral margins of the external urethral orifice of the female. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labium limbi vestibulare laminae spiralis | vestibular labium of limbus of spiral lamina |
| limbus laminae spiralis osseae | The border of the spiral lamina; the thickened periosteum covering the upper plate of the bony spiral lamina of the cochlea. Synonym: limbus laminae spiralis osseae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea spiralis | A rough line that separates the neck and shaft of the femur anteriorly; it passes downward and medially from the greater trochanter to the lesser trochanter and continues into the medial lip of the linea aspera. Synonym: linea intertrochanterica, linea spiralis, spiral line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alar lamina of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basal lamina of choroid | The transparent, nearly structureless inner layer of the choroid in contact with the pigmented layer of the retina. Synonym: basal lamina of choroid, basal layer of choroid, Bruch's membrane, Henle's membrane, lamina vitrea, vitreous lamella, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
