|---|---|
| median tongue bud | A small median protuberance on the floor of the oral cavity of the embryo between the mandibular and hyoid arches, which plays a minor role in the development of the tongue. Synonym: median tongue bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periosteal bud | A vascular connective tissue bud from the perichondrium that invades the ossification centre of the cartilaginous model of a developing long bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metanephric bud | The primordial cellular outgrowth from the mesonephric duct that gives rise to the epithelial lining of the ureter, of the pelvis, and calyces of the kidney, and of the straight collecting tubules. Synonym: ureteric bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gustatory bud | One of a number of flask-shaped cell nests located in the epithelium of vallate, fungiform, and foliate papillae of the tongue and also in the soft palate, epiglottis, and posterior wall of the pharynx; it consists of sustentacular, gustatory, and basal cells between which the intragemmal sensory nerve fibres terminate. Synonym: caliculus gustatorius, gustatory bud, Schwalbe's corpuscle, taste bulb, taste corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syncytial bud | A localised aggregation of syncytiotrophoblastic nuclei in the villi of the placenta during early pregnancy. Synonym: syncytial bud, syncytial sprout. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tail bud | The rapidly proliferating mass of cells at the caudal extremity of the embryo; remnant of the primitive node. Synonym: end bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| taste bud | One of a number of flask-shaped cell nests located in the epithelium of vallate, fungiform, and foliate papillae of the tongue and also in the soft palate, epiglottis, and posterior wall of the pharynx; it consists of sustentacular, gustatory, and basal cells between which the intragemmal sensory nerve fibres terminate. Synonym: caliculus gustatorius, gustatory bud, Schwalbe's corpuscle, taste bulb, taste corpuscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tooth bud | The primordial structures from which a tooth is formed; the enamel organ, the dental papilla, and the dental sac enclosing them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| end bud | The rapidly proliferating mass of cells at the caudal extremity of the embryo; remnant of the primitive node. Synonym: end bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteric bud | The primordial cellular outgrowth from the mesonephric duct that gives rise to the epithelial lining of the ureter, of the pelvis, and calyces of the kidney, and of the straight collecting tubules. Synonym: ureteric bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limb bud | The limbs of vertebrates start as outpushings of mesenchyme surrounded by a simple epithelium. The distal region is referred to as the progress zone. There has been extensive study of positional information within the limb bud that determines, for example: the proximal distal pattern of bone development and the anterior posterior specification of digits.

| liver bud | The primordial cellular diverticulum of the embryonic foregut endoderm that gives rise to the parenchyma of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lung bud | The endodermal lung primordium which will give rise to the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract. Synonym: lung bud. (05 Mar 2000) |
