| membranous part of interventricular septum | Part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart which is seen as a small, thin, round or oval nonmuscular area at the superior end of the interventricular septum; it lies just below and is continuous with the portion of the fibrous ring of the aortic valve supporting the anterior and posterior cusps, and with the right fibrous trigone; the atrioventricular bundle of conducting tissue courses along its dorsal margin and bifurcates at its inferior margin into the right and left crura. Synonym: pars membranacea septi interventricularis, membranous septum, septum membranaceum ventriculorum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| common limb of membranous saemicircular ducts | The united, nonampullary ends of the superior and posterior saemicircular ducts. Synonym: crus membranaceum commune ductus saemicircularis, common limb of membranous saemicircular ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple membranous limb of saemicircular duct | The non-ampullary end of the lateral saemicircular duct that opens independently into the utricle. Synonym: crus membranaceum simplex ductus saemicircularis, simple membranous limb of saemicircular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| annulus fibrosus of intervertebral disc | The ring of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue forming the circumference of the intervertebral disc; surrounds the nucleus pulposus, which is prone to herniation when the annulus fibrosus is compromised. Synonym: annulus fibrosus disci intervertebralis, annulus fibrosus, fibrous ring of intervertebral disc, fibrous ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular disc | A plate or ring of fibrocartilage attached to the joint capsule and separating the articular surfaces of the bones for a varying distance, sometimes completely; it serves to adapt two articular surfaces that are not entirely congruent. Synonym: discus articularis, articular disk, fibrocartilago interarticularis, fibroplate, interarticular fibrocartilage, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular disc of acromioclavicular joint | The articular disk of fibrocartilage usually found between the acromial end of the clavicle and the medial border of the acromion. Synonym: discus articularis acromioclavicularis, acromioclavicular disk, Weitbrecht's cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
