| senile lenticular myopia | 1. <ophthalmology> Improved near vision in the aged as a result of increased refractivity of the nucleus of the lens causing myopia. Synonym: senile lenticular myopia. 2. The power of discerning what is not visible to the physical eye, or of foreseeing future events. Such as are of a disastrous kind, the capacity of a seer or prophetic vision.

| lenticular | 1. <anatomy> Pertaining to or shaped like a lens. 2. <ophthalmology> Pertaining to the crystalline lens of the eye. 3. <neurology> Pertaining to the lenticular nucleus. Origin: L. Lenticularis (18 Nov 1997) |
| lenticular ansa | The pallidal efferent fibres curving around the medial border of the internal capsule. Synonym: ansa lenticularis, lenticular ansa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular apophysis | A knob at the tip of the long limb of the incus which articulates with the stapes. Synonym: processus lenticularis incudis, lenticular apophysis, lenticular bone, orbicular bone, orbicular process, orbiculare, os orbiculare, os sylvii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular bone | A knob at the tip of the long limb of the incus which articulates with the stapes. Synonym: processus lenticularis incudis, lenticular apophysis, lenticular bone, orbicular bone, orbicular process, orbiculare, os orbiculare, os sylvii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular capsule | The capsule enclosing the lens of the eye. Synonym: capsula lentis, crystalline capsule, lenticular capsule, phacocyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular colony | A bacterial colony shaped like a lentil or a double-convex lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular fasciculus | The pallidal efferent fibres that cross the internal capsule and are insinuated between the subthalamic nucleus and zona incerta; they join in the formation of the thalamic fasciculus. See: lenticular loop. Synonym: fasciculus lenticularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular fossa | A depression on the anterior surface of the vitreous body in which lies the lens. Synonym: fossa hyaloidea, lenticular fossa, patellar fossa of vitreous. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular ganglion | <anatomy, neurology> Neural crest derived ganglion acting as relay between parasympathetic neurons of the oculomotor nucleus in the midbrain and the muscles regulating the diameter of the pupil of the eye. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lenticular knife | A scraper resembling a sharp spoon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular loop | The pallidal efferent fibres curving around the medial border of the internal capsule. Synonym: ansa lenticularis, lenticular ansa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular nucleus | Lentiform nucleus, the large cone-shaped mass of gray matter forming the central core of the cerebral hemisphere. The convex base of the cone, oriented laterally and rostrally, is formed by the putamen which together with the caudate nucleus composes the striatum; the apical part, oriented medially and caudally, consists of the two segments of the globus pallidus. The nucleus is ventral and lateral to the thalamus and caudate nucleus, from which it is separated by the internal capsule, and together with the caudate nucleus composes the striate body. Synonym: nucleus lentiformis, lenticula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular papillae | Collections of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the pharyngeal part of the tongue posterior to the terminal sulcus collectively forming the lingual tonsil. Synonym: lenticular papillae, lingual follicles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lenticular process of incus | A knob at the tip of the long limb of the incus which articulates with the stapes. Synonym: processus lenticularis incudis, lenticular apophysis, lenticular bone, orbicular bone, orbicular process, orbiculare, os orbiculare, os sylvii. (05 Mar 2000) |
