| medulla of adrenal gland | It is composed principally of anastomosing cords of cells in the core of the gland; the cells display a chromaffin reaction because of the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine in their granules. Synonym: medulla glandulae suprarenalis, medulla of adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medulla of hair shaft | The central axis of some hairs, containing a column of large vacuolated and keratinised cells; the medullary portion is surrounded by the cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla of kidney | The centre portion of the kidney. (27 Sep 1997) |
| medulla of lymph node | The central portion of a node consisting of cordlike masses of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages in a stroma of reticular fibres separated by lymph sinuses; it reaches the surface of the node at the hilum. Synonym: medulla nodi lymphatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla ossium | <haematology> The soft, spongy tissue found in the centre of most large bones that produces the cellular components of blood: white cells, red cells and platelets (haemopoiesis). It is also the most radiation sensitive tissue of the body. (12 May 1997) |
| medulla ossium flava | Bone marrow in which the meshes of the reticular network are filled with fat. Synonym: medulla ossium flava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla ossium rubra | Bone marrow in which the meshes contain the developmental stages of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and megakaryocytes. Synonym: medulla ossium rubra. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medulla spinalis | <anatomy> Elongated, approximately cylindrical part of the central nervous system of vertebrates that lies in the vertebral canal and from which the spinal nerves emerge. (18 Nov 1997) |
| microcystic disease of renal medulla | Presence of small cysts in the renal medulla associated with anaemia, sodium depletion, and chronic renal failure. It is of two types: 1) fatal autosomal recessive or juvenile type (also called familial juvenile nephrophthisis), beginning at about age 10 with an average duration of 6 to 8 years; 2) autosomal dominant or adult type, beginning at about age 30 but with a more fulminant course. Synonym: microcystic disease of renal medulla. (05 Mar 2000) |

| suprarenal medulla | It is composed principally of anastomosing cords of cells in the core of the gland; the cells display a chromaffin reaction because of the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine in their granules. Synonym: medulla glandulae suprarenalis, medulla of adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney medulla | The internal portion of the kidney, consisting of striated conical masses, the renal pyramids, whose bases are adjacent to the cortex and whose apices form prominent papillae projecting into the lumen of the minor calyces. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medulla oblongata |
