| centralis | Central; in the centre. Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |

| placenta previa centralis | Placenta previa in which the placenta entirely covers the internal os of the cervix. Synonym: central placenta previa, total placenta previa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia gelatinosa centralis | The central gray matter of the spinal cord surrounding the central canal. Synonym: substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis, anterior gray column, Stilling's gelatinous substance, substantia gelatinosa centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia grisea centralis | In general: the predominantly small-celled gray matter adjoining or surrounding the central canal of the spinal cord and the third and fourth ventricles of the brainstem, in particular: the thick sleeve of gray matter surrounding the cerebral sylvian aqueduct in the midbrain, rostrally continuous with the posterior nucleus of the hypothalamus; in sections stained for myelin it stands out from the adjoining tectum and tegmentum by the poverty of its myelinated fibres. Synonym: substantia grisea centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis | The central gray matter of the spinal cord surrounding the central canal. Synonym: substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis, anterior gray column, Stilling's gelatinous substance, substantia gelatinosa centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus centralis | A double-S-shaped fissure extending obliquely upward and backward on the lateral surface of each cerebral hemisphere at the boundary between frontal and parietal lobes. Synonym: sulcus centralis, fissure of Rolando. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tractus centralis tegmenti | A large fibre bundle passing longitudinally through the central mesencephalic and pontine tegmentum, distinguished from adjacent longitudinal groups of fibre-fascicles of the reticular formation by a more compact composition. In transverse sections of the mesencephalon the bundle occupies a large triangular area lateral to the medial longitudinal fasciculus; farther caudally it expands ventralward and finally passes over the lateral side of the (inferior) olivary nucleus, becoming part of the latter's fibre capsule. The bundle contains fibres from the mesencephalic tegmentum and regions surrounding the central gray substance descending to the olivary nucleus; it also includes numerous fibres ascending from the medullary, pontine, and mesencephalic reticular formation to the thalamus and subthalamus region. Synonym: tractus tegmentalis centralis, central tegmental fasciculus, tractus centralis tegmenti. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fovea centralis | A tiny spot located in the macula that is the area of clearest vision on the retina. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fovea centralis retinae | A depression in the centre of the macula retinae containing only cones and lacking blood vessels. Synonym: fovea centralis retinae, central pit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobulus centralis cerebelli | A division of the superior vermis of the cerebellum between the lingula and the monticulus. Synonym: lobulus centralis cerebelli, central lobule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amniotic raphe | The line of fusion of the amniotic folds over the embryo in reptiles, birds, and certain mammals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anogenital raphe | In the male embryo the line of closure of the genital folds and swellings extending from the anus to the tip of the penis; it is differentiated in the adult into three regions: perineal raphe, scrotal raphe, and penile raphe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatine raphe | A rather narrow, low elevation in the centre of the hard palate that extends from the incisive papilla posteriorly over the entire length of the mucosa of the hard palate. Synonym: raphe palati, palatine ridge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palpebral raphe | A narrow fibrous band in the lateral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle formed by the interlacing of fibres passing through the upper and lower eyelids. Synonym: raphe palpebralis lateralis, palpebral raphe. (05 Mar 2000) |
