| membrana vestibularis | The membrane separating the cochlear duct from the vestibular canal; it consists of squamous epithelial cells with microvilli toward the ductus, a basement membrane, and a thin layer of connective tissue toward the scala. Synonym: membrana vestibularis, paries vestibularis ductus cochlearis, Reissner's membrane, vestibular wall of cochlear duct. (05 Mar 2000) |

| plica vestibularis | One of the pair of folds of mucous membrane stretching across the laryngeal cavity from the angle of the thyroid cartilage to the arytenoid cartilage; they enclose a space called the rima vestibuli or false glottis. Synonym: plica vestibularis, false vocal cord, plica ventricularis, ventricular band of larynx, ventricular fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus vestibularis | <anatomy, nerve> The vestibular part of the acoustic (8th cranial) nerve. The vestibular nerve fibres arise from neurons of scarpa's ganglion and project peripherally to vestibular hair cells and centrally to the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem. These fibres mediate the sense of balance and head position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| facies vestibularis dentis | The surface of a tooth that faces the buccal or labial mucosa of vestibule of the mouth; opposite to the lingual surface of tooth. Synonym: facies vestibularis dentis, facies facialis dentis, buccal surface, facial surface of tooth, facies buccalis, facies labialis, labial surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| labyrinthus vestibularis | The portion of the membranous labyrinth located within the saemicircular canals and the vestibule of the osseous labyrinth. It is surrounded with perilymph and involved with vestibular functions. Synonym: labyrinthus vestibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus oculi medialis | The angle formed by the union of the upper and lower eyelids medially. Synonym: angulus oculi medialis, angulus oculi nasalis, internal canthus, medial canthus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus lumbocostalis medialis | <anatomy> One of Haller's arches; a tendinous thickening of the psoas fascia that extends from the body of the first lumbar vertebra to its transverse process on either side. A portion of the diaphragm arises from it. Synonym: ligamentum arcuatum mediale, arcus lumbocostalis medialis, medial lumbocostal arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcus pedis longitudinalis pars medialis | Formed by the calcaneus, talus, navicular, three cuneiform bones, and the three medial metatarsals. Synonym: arcus pedis longitudinalis pars medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: arteria circumflexa femoris medialis, medial circumflex artery of thigh, medial femoral circumflex artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria frontobasalis medialis | <anatomy, artery> The medial orbitofrontal branch, the first branch of the pericallosal artery; it supplies the medial half of the inferior surface of the frontal cortex. Synonym: arteria frontobasalis medialis, ramus orbitofrontalis medialis, orbital artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria genus inferior medialis | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, anterior and posterior tibial recurrent and medial superior genicular, i.e., articular vascular network of knee. Synonym: arteria genus inferior medialis, medial inferior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria genus superior medialis | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, descending genicular, lateral superior genicular, i.e., the articular vascular network of the knee. Synonym: arteria genus superior medialis, medial superior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arteria occipitalis medialis | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery; it is distributed, by several named branches, to the posterior corpus callosum and the medial and superolateral portions of the occipital lobe including the visual cortex. Synonym: arteria occipitalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria plantaris medialis | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior tibial; distribution, medial side of the sole of the foot; anastomoses, dorsalis pedis, lateral plantar. Synonym: arteria plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
